Useless red circle, I know, but in my defense I didn’t put it there, it was already like this when I found it.
That’s just what the ment told the women he said. They just wanted a piggyback ride
Seems fair. Modern women only want to be carried, it seems.
Estonian style LMAO
Americans: uh… nah.
My wife is about half my weight. Guess I’ll just get beheaded then.
Women are generally pretty capable of lifting twice their weight. Stand back to back and link arms (you may need to crouch) and if she leans forward and you tense your core and lift your legs you will end up directly over her center of gravity. It’s essentially her lifting you like a backack. It isn’t a super comfortable lift for the guy in the equation if he’s got a weak core but we used to do this all the time at fight night. A teen girl who is maybe 120lbs soaking wet can easily pick up a 6’5 215lbs guy and walk down a city block with him on her back.
In period women were generally muscled as fuck. Fetching household water, hand milling grain for bread and doing laundry were female coded tasks on top of doing whatever yearly hard labour tasks were required. They would absolutely be trucking their favourite guy out of town even if he was big.
Cool. I’m sending my wife to the gym tonight.
Well everyone should probably be hitting the gym from time to time these days since activity in general has become kind of optional. Going as a couple can make for the best gym partners. Me and my partner have a good time.
Now now. Let’s not get carried away here!
Don’t knock it 'till you’ve tried it.
And here I thought that was made up by the writer of Ever After.

See back then and for centuries after even: the default mentality for existing was not as zero-sum as it is today.
Resources and generally speaking: ‘the world’ was seen as expansive and functionally infinite. I.e.: non-zero-sum. One’s acquisition of resources did not inherently detract from another’s resource. Societies would just exile people and consider them dead and gone into the ether.
So a warlord could easily let some shit like this slide. No fight, free castle.
I’m really hoping this type of thinking comes back after we start to explore the solar system & galaxy.
We could still have this thinking today.
The scarcity of resources is largely one of distribution and access: not production or availability. There are more than enough resources. We destroy clothes and food for going unsold. People go homeless and hungry for lack of money or employment, not a lack of shelter or food. Famines are policy decisions.
Only in the immediacy of natural disaster scenarios where infrastructure itself breaks down are we really faced with the kind of reality where there isn’t wasted excess.
If you’re interested I suggest an easy but short read: Operation Manual For Spaceship Earth by Buckminster Fuller. It is old as hell but it does a good job of portraying how such a mindset could work for modern civilization.
Alright, I’ll check it out.
Absolute shittiest moment to be single…
Yeah a German king during the 12th century, sure, one of the many German kings of that time, like, uh, Hans, or, say, Helmut, yeah why not. Don’t tell me it was Conrad III, that little piece of shit was not the real king of the Germans.
Apparently this happened during the Siege of Weinsberg, and the king in question was indeed Conrad III. I must admit not really knowing much (if anything) about the guy but it seems he must have had at least one decent bone in his body, judging by the outcome.
Thanks for the explanation! #notmyking #antikingsarelosers
#notmyking
It matters not, he is still your king.
I didn’t vote for him
I’m confused on how to read that hashtag. Anti-kings are losers? Anti-“kings are losers”?
Sorry it was meant to be “Antikings are lobsters”
