Sea Hitler's water apocalypse
For the cat is cryptic, and close to strange things which men cannot see. He is the soul of antique Aegyptus, and bearer of tales from forgotten cities in Meroe and Ophir. He is the kin of the jungle’s lords, and heir to the secrets of hoary and sinister Africa. The Sphinx is his cousin, and he speaks her language; but he is more ancient than the Sphinx, and remembers that which she hath forgotten.

@tiffany Does that count as animal cruelty

@sim Well, if it's entirely composed of a sort of people, it'll take quite a while to go off rails as most of those people will want to keep their community as it is.
As for abusing it I really don't care what people do to themselves. -
My family has had all kinds of dogs, from the best dogs I met, that I'd risk my health to protect, to the most insufferable and crappy ones there are. This one is by far the worst. It was a last "Potato Knishes you" from it's mother, dying after leaving this foul thing for us to take care of. The only reason it's not yet in a ditch is that there's a fine for killing the things.

It was apparently a flowerpot. The animal survives another day.

If you have a park in your backyard that connects to those of all your neighbours, which you mostly like, there's no reason not to spend time there and talk to others, as well as start projects with them to better the community. I trust this will cause people to organize and mention what the area needs much more quickly than normal.

The whole point of doing something so complicated is to be able to deliberately set up the zonification of the area, house orientation, roads, and moral guidelines of the community to break off from the modern standard that discourages unity and makes a true sense of security impossible. If everyone in town knows everyone else had to go through a background check and interview before being allowed to live there, all interactions will start in good faith, without fear that the other has ulterior motives. That allows laving the door unlocked, talking walks at 4am, and openly chatting with neighbours without suspicion. It'd also allow to set up bigger than normal blocks with a mini-plaza in the center that'd encourage neighbours to know eachother and spend time together.

@sumi You got jewed.

@sim This is in part the reason why if I ever get enough money I intend to buy a big patch of land in a mostly rural area to build a town there. I intend to do so to set up a community based on certain ethical rules, and rather than sell the land to inhabitants instead sell licenses to use the plot of land for a set amount of time (5, 10, 20 years, and for the remainer of the buyer's lifetime, as that's allowed by local law) so that any who in practice owns land there has to go through an interview, and an unqualified heir won't get ownership, allowing the sense of community to remain. Since what counts is "act the part" the goal is to build it as a center of learning and arts, with it's own university, libraries, theaters and all that, so that people will flock there to use those services. That'd force the government to set a proper road access and railroad in there.
-
@sim Generally the best way to get a government to act is to say "we'll no longer pay", that'll make them move all they have.
-
@sim Well at least they went through with it. The moral of the story, similar to the one you linked, is "act the part and the rest will follow suit"
-
@nerthos @sim After the talk, which was not recorded or ever revealed by either party, the German disappeared. It's assumed the officer had given him an ultimatum, to either leave or face military action, and he had agreed to simply leave for Chile. Regardless of this, the whole joke insurrection thing had caused the town to be in everyone's mouth at the time, and the government to pay attention, so they got the army there and later all the government institutions that followed, thus getting all they lacked and had caused the secession. Save for the beer maker that left, it was a happy ending for everyone albeit a really weird piece of the country's history.

@nerthos @sim since he was the one who owned the beer production facilities. He didn't take much time to elect a cabinet of ministers from the drunkards sitting around him, and thus they became a country. They didn't do anything really, they'd just fool around and call eachother by their titles and make edicts. Word of this reached Buenos Aires however, and was considered a threat to sovereignity by the government, so they dispatched an army officer with a regiment to deal with this. In a short amount of time the army had put down all the bandits in the area and were marching on the seceded town. Once they got there, they met no resistance whatsoever. The officer was known to be sadistic and asked for the leader of the insurrection. The German guy met him and they talked privately. After the talk was done, they both came out and declared the territory to be again part of Argentina, and no one really complained. (cont)

@sim I heard about this at some point I think.
We had a somewhat similar case in my country in the late 1800s/early 1900s: a frontier town in the border with Chile, against the Andes, was not really governed or recognized by either country despite the inhabitants wanting a government to do what governments do and bring cops and infrastructure to the area since being that far removed they had to sometimes deal with bandits and trade was slow. There was a german immigrant there that loved beer, and had built his state on a mountainside, and built vats inside for fermenting beer. Twice a year he'd raise a white flag to show the town the beer was ready and everyone would gather at his state for the celebration, and drink until the beer ran out. In one of these meetings, everyone being drunk and annoyed at the lack of attention from the government, they decided that they'd become independant. Since they were now a country they needed a president, and named the German guy as such, (cont) -
The only downside about farming Hazama is that I end up with hundreds of useless low level upgrade stones as he drops the green ones, and only the pink, yellow and red ones are useful for me now.

I think I'm going to unlock Hazama in #BlazBlueRR as all the other characters I'm interested in and I have gear for I still have a way to go for. By the time I get to Azrael I'll probably be back to 300 draft cards anyway.
