That wasn’t Leto’s reason at all. He kept a standing army of women explicitly because according to him, women would be loyal to him as an individual while men would be loyal to the idea of the empire. That was counterproductive to his plans since he was literally trying to be the worst ruler for humanity in all of history.

One of my siblings just… doesn’t like pizza. All of the individual components are fine in other dishes, but not together. I don’t understand.
I looked it up because I was curious; If you adjust for cost of living (PCPI, adjusted by regional price parity. Thanks wikipedia); Then California ranks 13 and South Carolina is 47.
Apparently D.C. is #1, which I could have guessed, but Wyoming is #2, which I definitely wouldn’t have.
Just a little FYI information as a PSA announcement.

What exactly is it that makes the image generating AI use the ugliest colors for backgrounds? This one is like the stained walls in chain-smoker’s house.
Portosian@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy•Can you advocate for privacy by showing it? Does it work or will people never learn privacy in practice?English1·2 months agoAdvocacy doesn’t mean shit to people who don’t care about the topic. Most people do not care about security beyond preventing identity theft.
You can call it decadence all you want but wet pizza toppings are objectively bad for the quality of the pizza. It doesn’t matter how much you pat it dry, that pineapple weeps liquid as it cooks and makes the texture of the cheese beneath it gross.
Portosian@sh.itjust.worksto Technology•Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of communityEnglish19·2 months agoRemote work is a step in the right direction at least. In my case, I’m generally just too exhausted to bother going anywhere other than home and work, which definitely limits any socializing. Work culture isn’t entirely to blame of course, but it sure isn’t helping.
Portosian@sh.itjust.worksto The Democratic People's Republic of Tankiejerk•holdin' out for a heroEnglish84·2 months agoWhat communists, libertarians, and anarchists never seem to grasp is that their “end goal” would be a highly temporary state. Tribes will form. Somebody will start gathering power of one form or another, and then the cycle starts anew.

You are not meant to think well of the troll. It’s not really a person as much as a role. Don’t answer the post; don’t rise to the bait. The troll does not care, it just wants you irate. No matter the subject, the topic, the polls. Just let it go. Don’t feed the trolls.
Lol, I realized the first bit rhymed right as I posted it. Sorry for the let down.
You’re not meant to think well of the troll. It’s not really a person as much as a role. You’re supposed to laugh at the idiots replying to it.
It is possible to not like sushi on its own merit and not out of ignorance. I’ve eaten plenty of it and it has never wowed me.
Portosian@sh.itjust.worksto Baldur's Gate 3•Devoted Pathfinder fans mod the DnD out of Baldur's Gate 3English3·2 months agoThis might actually get me to play through the game. I found the combat mechanics so tedious that I never got out of the first act.
I dont know if you’re a man, a woman, or somewhere in between; but if you gave me an aged cheddar and a potted basil I would never let you go.
I’ve never really bothered with relationships, and everytime I see some shit like this, it validates that choice.
