  • I really like airships as a concept, but they have a major flaw in any universe where planes exist. A plane is much faster than an airship, so airships must be large enough for the mass transport of goods and people via them to be practical. If a plane can haul 10 people from London to Washington Dc in 10 hours, then an airship needs to be able to haul something more economical. Perhaps 100 people in 24 hours. Assuming some degree of technological stagnation, this consideration can allow a dieselpunk setting to have some degree of economic realism.

    I really do like the idea of a world war one era for the technology in my airship setting, but I really do feel like I need to be careful when having planes be a part of the picture.

    Similarly, I must make sure to have the combat exciting, and sometimes that means sacrificing realism for the sake of awesome air pirate fights. For example, having people run around on the deck of an airship is more important than whether or not running around on the top of a ship going that fast would actually work.

    Thanks for reading this comment. I know it might sound like gibberish, but thinking out loud has really helped me work on my Communist steampunk yaoi. It will be very NSFW and involve themes based around the AIDs epidemic and drug addiction, both of which are subjects near and dear to my heart.

  • People see pictures of North Korea and say "wow its so eerie something is wrong and i cant figure it out."

    Its that there are no ads everywhere. People are conditioned to be comforted by disengeuous promises from ads, and are scared when there arent business signs everywhere.

    Its entirely achievable to have no ads. Ads are bad for everyone.

  • I'm being educated about you, and what your insecurities are. Its okay to chill out. For a long time I was afraid that if I wasn't always yelling at people I wouldn't be a real ((opinion)). I was just talking to myself as opposed to the crowd, or even the other guy.

    If this is just how you are online, then it doesn't matter. Ask yourself if you're ever like this irl. If so, then don't dwell on it.

    I know. I'm a modern day Socrates. No need to thank me.

    Why cant we bee freinds. Why can't wee bee friends? Whhhy Can't weee be frieennds? :D

  • Deep breathes can be used to stay calm. Theres value in humbling yourself. Nobody really deserves as much respect as they think.

    The Meditations is a really good book to avoid holding yourself too highly.

  • The Egyptian gods created the universe in their culture. They would not make fun of their ancestors for worshipping the wrong gods. That would be an absurd notion to them.

    Struting about because youre so much better than your ancestors is not an innate property of being human, regardless of how much you like doing it.

  • Monero is an ok cyrptocurrency because its not designed to make you money. Its designed to launder money and buy illegal things. Its useful if youre trans and live in Florida where hormones will be illegal.

    Anyone who thinks crypto will replace money is high. The problem with capitalism isnt money. You cant fix it by inventing different money.
