The 20 year old advice of, flip it and reverse it, would be too modern for you.

zoomers are really bad with technology outside of the basic gaming things they do

Just finishing the first season of Vis a Vis (English: Locked up) - Enjoyable prison drama. Feels very similar to Orange is the New black, except they wear yellow and speak Spanish. They even have a lead who looks likes quite a bit the lead from Orange.

Watched a few seasons of this. The main prison villainess was played real well and kept the show interesting. It was fun to see how they could fit every possible trope of "women in prison" into it. Definitely has twists and surprises. Worth watching.

i've never seen vis a vis. i'll check it out.

but wentworth is an australian drama about women's prison. it's pretty great. i gave up on it when i first tried it, but stuck to it, and really liked it.

it's not for everyone. but if you like tv dramas, and like women centric shows, then pretty sure you'll like this

Yeh saw a couple of seasons and liked it, but got overwhelmed by the 100 episodes. Took a break and never went back.

It’s better then Letterkenny has been in a few seasons. Not quite as funny but there’s an awesome story arc to tie it all together.

For all Mankind season 3 just started. Solid alt reality tv show in a world where the space race wages on. This season is in the 1990's

I love how if progresses on, like a decade per season. Makes me wonder how far along our world would be if we put resources towards space faring rather than war mongering.

christianity was thriving long before that dark age began, what little kept going on well in europe was mostly centered around big cathedreal construction and monasterary scribes

you could even argue that our rebound had more to with the far more theocratic arabic aid as many of the classic greek works were lost and only recovered because they still existed in arabic


i've read extensively about the collapse of europe, a tl:dr summary could best be described as "a massive influx of nomadic and semi nomadic people migrated in (this is us the germanic & waspy europeans of today) - they took things over and fragmented down to smaller nominally independent states that were fairly disconnected from the other states - this also meant that raiding/piracy/vikings etc were then able to raid everywhere - it was to a point where vast swathes of coastal europe, places that thrived a few centuries earlier became wholly depopulated because it was simply too risky to live there due to presence of passing ships

even the places where things were held together in decent order such as greece and turkey, their frontiers were now wholly depopulated as well from raiding and it was constant plague wiping everyone out - section by section of the balkans became abandoned by greeks because it was too dangerous to live out there and they got replaced by the incoming slavs

so raiding/piracy/vikings made pretty much 90%+ of anywhere in europe basically unsafe to live in, the few places that did continue on were extremely small polities which were fairly isolated and whenever they began to start finally thriving again with big populations that pesky bubonic plague would show up, there's a 100 year period of byzantine history where constantinople was hit by 61 different plagues - most cities which continued to exist where a small fraction of themselves, constantinople was 90% unoccupied homes for most of it's history, rome was so depopulated that the colliseum was part of a pasture for sheeps and later a dumping ground for refuse

everything sucked, it was all terrible, barely holding onto life, nobody has the time/resources or institutional foundations to start inventing more powerful microscopes and start looking at things more closely

but most of all - none of it mattered - that huge jump is much less due to european innovations but rather the re-established stablity of the economy, which re-integrated europe from a bigger version of north korea into the global economy once again - this brought ideas and invention from asia, india, & the middle east a la all those greek works that previously only existed in arabic



europe is just a little peninusula on eurasia, whatever dark periods they had wouldn't muddle up human progress on a whole nor was christianity the driving force behind it

that chart should really say "terrible time of piracy and plague" followed by "saviors from mongolia linked us up with the rest of the world"

Ooooooohhhh let's dig into this here. My major and advanced studies finally get a place to shine.

*Seriously spent way too much money writing about this ****. Would have rather been a baseball scout or married some rich uggo.
