#OtD 3 Sep 1791 post-revolutionary France completed its new penal code. It became the first Western European country to decriminalise homosexuality, as it no longer made any mention of prohibitions against sodomy in private. More about the rev here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/e…

in reply to Working Class History

That suggests that monarchy/oligarchy .. uses legislation-against-homosexuals as a weapon .. for *other* reasons..

( iow, the citizens-themselves didn't do-so, therefore the *previous* establishment probably had some ulterior-reason for doing it )

Ah: divide-&-conquer: by manufacturing violent ideological-dissent IN the population, then can better maintain their control ON the population..

Machiavellian-101, probably..

Interesting..

in reply to how to do anything

The image depicts a cartoon-style illustration of a woman with light brown, wavy hair, wearing a purple top. She is holding a black smartphone to her ear with her right hand, while her left hand is gently touching her chin. The background is a plain light blue color. A speech bubble appears next to her, containing the text: "I've been thinking about you. I really miss you. Can we talk?" The woman's expression is neutral, and her eyes are looking slightly to the side, suggesting she is engaged in a conversation.

The Great Taking - Documentary

in reply to This spaceship does not exist

The image depicts a futuristic, industrial landscape dominated by a large, yellow and gray structure with multiple levels and a satellite dish. The structure stands on four mechanical legs, with visible wiring and cables, suggesting advanced technology. The scene is shrouded in a blue fog, creating a mysterious atmosphere. Two silhouetted figures stand in the foreground, observing the structure, adding a sense of scale and human presence. The ground is uneven, with patches of grass and dirt, and a streetlight is visible on the right, contributing to the industrial feel. The overall color palette is dominated by cool blue tones, enhancing the futuristic and somewhat eerie ambiance.

Ewer and basin with the arms of Vlissingen, Jacques Bogaert (attributed to), 1608
Servants would go around with ewers and basins at the beginning and end of formal dinners. Water was
poured from the ewer over the hands of the distinguished guests, and the dirty water was caught in the basin. This ewer and basin were the property of Vlissingen. The city’s coat of arms – a crowned bottle – and its motto are engraved in the centre of the basin.

Security people decided to make fun of the fake "GPS protected" box of meat. Yes, it's security theater. But that's irrelevant.

Think for a moment that the store is using security theater boxes because people are DESPERATE ENOUGH TO STEAL MEAT.

That says a lot more about society than the "GPS protected" box.
