I’m not sure I remember correctly, wasn’t that artist very pro-Reddit during the API protest?

Apparently this is a monument to the Inca nobleman Cahuide
…an Inca nobleman and warrior of the 16th century (1536) in Cuzco, Peru, who participated in the battle of Sacsayhuamán, led by Manco Inca. In one of his battles when the castle he was defending fell into the hands of Conquistador, he jumped from the top of one of the three towers of Sacsayhuamán, called Muyuq Marka, so as not to surrender to his enemies.

Reportedly the sculpture is by three brothers: Luis Alberto Yanqui Yucra, Raúl Oswaldo Yanqui Yucra, and Rodolfo Edwin Yanqui Yucra, and it was made fairly recently (source in Spanish).
The name of the sculpture is “Cahuide against the Spaniard”. Here’s a picture of the sculptors with the statue:

It took a few hours to clean, and at least a dozen big black trash bags.
You got lucky. I once roomed with a hoarder who trashed our apartment that bad too. But if I tried to sweep or dust they’d get really anxious, and if I tried picking things up they’d literally start screaming and shaking. Even piles of old magazines and plastic bags and empty bottles had to stay where they were, let alone heaps of dirty clothes, cheap trinkets, and assorted “stuff”. That person had some bad things happen to them as a kid, and long-term anxiety is no joke.
Looks like SOMEONE’s got a case of the Pondeloks!
I always thought it was about embracing how dismal and pointless life is.
It means different things to different people. Which kind of makes sense, if you think about how music and style spreads around the world and hits different people in different cultural contexts.
Some people just listen to the music and don’t get all gussied up. Some people express themselves through professional-quality costumes. Some people use the style to create an identity on social media. Some people use the music and style to explore their cultural heritage. etc.
My favorite part was:
buying a leather jacket and pre-torn pants would get you laughed out of a punk rock gathering where everything is thrifted and modified DIY
It’s like: “Hey! did someone else tear those pants? Why haven’t you modified your jacket?!? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!”
Yeah… the thing about steep learning curves is: I might as well be reading quantitative/modeling & simulation approaches to history at that point. Because eventually that could turn into contributing back to the field.
Ooh, I should do that game sometime, I must have spent a couple years of my life playing Civ and Total War: Empire.
She had the paperwork all done, but she’s a dom so she can’t submit.
It’s a shame. Luckily that sort of thing could never happen here in the US. /s
I never really understood:
In 1865, Argentina was already one of the top 25 nations by per capita income. By 1908, it had surpassed Denmark, Canada and the Netherlands to reach 7th place—behind Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and Belgium. Argentina’s per capita income was 70% higher than Italy’s, 90% higher than Spain’s, 180% higher than Japan’s and 400% higher than Brazil’s.[65]
It’s cool man I felt that info dump. I’m industrial goth and I can’t wait til I drop those facts on my farmer relatives.

He is literally looking for an escape route. Both the character and the actor.
I kind of understand the objection, though. It’s a short step from “it isn’t manly to be enraged” to “just pull yourself up from your bootstraps.” I don’t think that’s what Marcus Aurelius was saying, but I can see how someone might read it that way.
