You're right to call out an assumption that torture methods always leave behind clear skeletal forensics. I think some of us might have read that into the article. In this case if the article is correct, the wheel did leave clear evide

Okay, that's an interesting idea. Do you figure maybe the skeleton's abnormalities could be related to inbreeding common in aristocratic families?

That was something I considered too. I have to ponder, why might they have given this particular body a recognizable burial?

"What’s a little strange, however, is how little archaeological evidence of torture in the past has been found so far. Archaeologists have found evidence of violence between humans dating back to the Paleolithic, but the Milanese wheel

Exactly. Not fringe. Part of the normal struggle for existence.

Good for you. Corps that walk all over us should keep losing their customers, and we should support the little guys to the best of our abilities.

I've been mulling over your desired situation which is probably shared with plenty of parents. I think you want a system with a walled-garden with a "friend code" like Nintendo has, that can be physically shared through a sca

Precisely, it's a teaching opportunity. My parents denied me certain things, and while I "hated" them for it sometimes, I have grown to understand why. It did have the very real cost of making socializing more difficult, and

I support your decision to ban it in your household under that circumstance. If Microsoft gets to carpet-ban us and our kids from the game, we can carpet-ban them from us and our kids. Take your responsibility as a parent seriously, spend t

If that system can actually be implemented, it would make playing minecraft as a non-groomer adult so much more fun, too. Child players on these public servers tend to beg hard for valuable in-game items, and frustratingly though understand

I'm doing the same, but it won't last forever. A forced update, or some kind of retro-active system is inevitable. The product owners really want this feature.

It seems that anyone can report anyone else, on any server, even tiny private ones. They have to say what kind of complaint it is from a list, but a disingenuous actor can find ways to stretch the definitions or just outright lie about the

Don't be naive, this will affect way more people than just the ones you'll snicker about. Cause it gets abused.

IMO, It works a lot better coloured on a dark background than black on the off-white used for written books.

Yes, it's sick, and so is that phrase.

That's bad news, vultures are quite ecologically important.

If we could separate their entanglements, we would find that the cost of this or that sort of energy is nothing compared to the cost of systematically despising out-groupers.

My favourite is probably 1999. [Spoiler warning], I grew up in Canada at a time when the high profile case of Michael Dunahee's disappearance caused parents to act much more protectively of their children, effectively the death of soci

Sure, I am familiar with these talking points and I agree completely with your perspective. What I was wondering aloud is, do some people have ideas about a way to discern what's more or less propagand ized ? IE, even being propagandiz

Is there a way to even identify what may be more or less propagandized, relatively speaking?

And then there's 1997's "Event Horizon" starring Laurence Fishburne which featured similar imagery.
