A broken man, obsessed with 500 year old Mexican culture.

Not all people want to fake the “office family” dynamic.
What you’re saying is a bit gobbledygook. I don’t want to make friends at work. I want to do my job and then clock out when finished.
You have my full sympathy.
I’m an enthusiast about Mezo American history and Mixtec Pueblo culture pre European contact. In other words I’m an Aztec Fanboy.
Awww c’mon this ain’t monkey paw.
Drinking is for fuel and they’ve demonstrated that the robots can have alternate fuel sources. A Bender body is perfect because I can claim a major victory against entropy while not going crazy by sacrificing my human stimulus (like Metalo from Superman). I want to be unfettered from Earthly needs while still being able to party.
I was thinking a bit more industrial.
I was hoping for something more mechanical or digital. If I’m going through all the hassle of getting a new body then I don’t want to bother with the habits of the old one ( eating, sleeping, etc).
Do I have to have a biological body? I don’t want to be carbon based anymore.
John Brown should be a cardinal direction in every American’s moral compass.
No, that’s cringe. Also having British iconography in an American election is repugnant.
European executions could be excessively cruel. Being burned alive, drowned, stoning, crucifixion, being eaten alive by rats escaping hot coals, or being locked in a cage to die from exposure is on the same level as having one’s heart cut out or being shot with arrows. Europeans would impale men on pikes and the Tenochca would rack skulls, apples to oranges but it’s all the same fruit.
I think the nation/tribe that were the Spanish collaborators you’re referring to was Tlaxcala which were the target of habitual Flower Wars for captuered warrior sacrifice. The pleas of the Tenochca, the residents of Tenochtitlan, fell on deaf ears to the only other major power in the region the Purépecha Empire.
While Aztecs valued human sacrifice to a great extent it was due to the benefits it’s bestowed in Mixtec-Pueblo culture. It was a source of not only spiritual reverence, but also military and economic superiority. It also had non domestic function as a diplomatic tool to visiting nobles and bounty haulers / tax collectors. Not to mention it served as a form of community entertainment in a similar fashion to European public executions.
As far as saying Europeans tried to slow down to make the Americas a vassal state is a misconception. Disease wiped out an apocalyptic amount of people. Following the fall of Tenochtitlan small pox ravaged the Valley of Mexico and all along the Gulf Coast. This nearly wiped out all infrastructure and Spain tried to subjugate the rest. Hilariously trying to impose a 30% tax written in Spanish and using that as a legal justification for military actions.
You had me going for a second.
Aztecs didn’t value gold all that much. If they put through the effort to smuggle anything it would have been cacao seeds or quetzal feathers.
Mongolian throat singing.
Keeping myself isolated.
“Too much force will break it.” The only thing worthwhile my mother taught me.
