the comparison between the soviet propiska and chinese hukou systems is interesting because they’re seemingly comparable in form but ultimately had something like the opposite impact
in the USSR, housing registration was tied to where you were actually allowed to live - it was incredibly difficult to move somewhere without first acquiring the proper propiska. as a result, it was used for just what you might imagine: to prevent rural-dwellers from moving to large cities. this (1) slowed the pace of urbanisation in existing urban centers like leningrad and moscow, but (2) increased the pace of urbanisation in newly built, often geographically remote, monogorods, and (3) was compensated for by a campaign of rural industrialisation where light industry was brought to towns and villages instead of being concentrated in big cities. the overall impact was a relatively even distribution of industrial capacity across the territory of the USSR
in china, however, the opposite happened. there, hukou status is tied primarily to what level of state benefits you receive and only secondarily to actual place of residence. as a result, it was actually used to welcome a massive influx of rural-dwellers into existing urban centers - workers who would receive a far lower level of state benefits than people with urban hukou, and who could be freely exploited since they’re constantly under the threat of internal deportation by police. in combination with the chinese policy of keeping rural areas 100% devoted to agricultural production, this has propelled (1) some of the most rapid urbanisation in human history as well as the creation of the largest cities in human history, and (2) an astronomically unequal distribution of industrial capacity across the territory of china
anyway they’re both terrible but it’s an interesting contrast

I dont remember where i learned this from, but i always put the period at the start of the next line. So the line would start at
”. Furtermore…”
okay for latex typesetting my advisor prefers putting a period at the end of an equation in big math mode if it forms the end of a sentence. i prefer just leaving out punctuation and hoping people figure it out from context. i understand that his method makes more "sense" on some formal level but it feels wrong to me to put a period in big math mode! thats not what big math mode is for! i made some examples
feel free to be loosy goosy about whether you count as a mathematician. if you use latex a lot that counts
#math#not interesting#Also i havent written a math paper in years so maybe this was a one-guy situation

followed by "I can't believe you're still single" when she has passed away
apparently "well at least you had a girlfriend" is not a good way to respond to someone telling you about her dying girlfriend

Catsuhi and Eva:
Natsuhi wakes up with cat ears. Eva's here to help.
An 8,415 words evanatsu visual novel by me. It is very comedic and also extremely suggestive. Available now on itch.io. More information and links below, please read ⬇️
If, for whatever reason, the links don't work, it is also here in google drive. One for pc (Windows, Linux), & one for Mac. I have no way of testing the Mac version, but I assume it should work properly for you. Remember to extract the folder after download.
Here is a google doc that has the entire script so it's easier to copy & paste the text into translators while playing if English is not your first language, or if anyone wants it for another reason. There is also a notepad version of this in the folder.
I made a LOT of custom sprites for this. Like, a lot. Many that I didn't even use. They are all in the files. Anyone is free to use them for anything they may like to. You don't need to credit me, but I would still appreciate it ❤️
Please have fun using them if you choose to.
I also included an extra folder in images that just has some funny evanatsu pictures and videos I wanted to share because I thought it would be fun lol
There is also a video version on my youtube, so if there is anyone who can't play the game themselves, you can still read it.

This was a two months long project that started as what was supposed to be a really quick joke to try and learn renpy and very quickly spiraled out of control.... I put a lot of time and effort into this, and the coding was absolute hell at times 😭 (mostly for the menus). I tried to replicate Umineko's feel, but could only get just so far before I had to finally give up and settle for what I got. I still like how it turned out, though, and am overall pretty pleased with the entire thing.
I hope you all enjoy, and if you like evanatsu, I would greatly appreciate if you would reblog this to help spread it around because I really did spend a lot of time on it. Please have fun reading this, evanatsu nation 🧡💜, it's extremely fanservicey 😭
#umineko#cant remember if i already reblogged this#(this is basically just smut)#(but Natsuhi is really cute in this dynamic)

come on, if tits out was a normal look the menfolk would obviously not be getting hard at all times. It might have been considered sexy sure, like wearing short skirts or whatever is considered sexy, and it obviously doesnt mean minoan men were chaste and pure and never sexualised breasts. But they simply can not have sexualised them to the degree we do in modern society.

People hope for Minoan fashion to make a comeback.
It won't happen until people stop acting weird when they see boobs.
#Also lol at the guy in the replies claiming that sexualising breasts isnt a fetish cuz they are an officially designated ”erogenous zone”#Like do you not think sexualising feet is a fetish?#or is there a cutoff where a sufficient proportion of people are sufficiently sensitive?

Also, i know its thematic that marriages are never for love, but always a way to secure an heir,,, but it really makes the fact that gay marriage is normal feel a little hollow.
”Sabran and Eadaz should have gotten married in the end”-truthers rise up!!
So is Eadaz/Sabran one of the influences on the whole princess/knight yuri thing, or was that developed independently?
#The priory of the orange tree#Like every single mentioned marriage in the whole book is an arranged heterosexual affair#but after Sabran becomes aware she’s infertile the possibility of marriage with Eadaz seemingly becomes real to her#really makes it seem like gay marriage is an inferior good.

#The priory of the orange tree#Also really funny how their ”happy ever after”#is just ”turns out we have responsibilities in different parts of the world so we cant be together#Lets retire early and meet again then”#Couldnt they at least get married first?

the far side would be even better than it already is (great) if the drawing was more detailed, and if you read the speech bubbles from right to left. and if it was more about teen issues

When people do this sort of thing, they don’t consciously think theyre actually playing calvinball… so either theyre cheating, or theyre deluding themselves.
*for the sake of this question, playing a game by yourself and later comparing your results with other people (e.g. a speedrun leaderboard) is not considered a single-player game
#Of course they might be doing a new game that just involves a pinball table#but if they continuously shift from playing pinball to manipulating the ball with their hands without consciously changing the rules#theyre cheating#not interesting

Nu undrar jag ju direkt varför de heter Versaler och Gemener på svenska… gemen är väl något vanligt, men har versal med verser att göra?
If uppercase letters are capital letters then what the FUCK are lowercase letters

the rat is large. It contains both you and me.
if you're running a rawlsian original position type argument then surely what you want is not summed population utility but rather mean. bc like yknow randomly sampling from {1 guy with 1 utility} is preferable to from {1 guy with 1 and 9 guys with .9}. so instead of a universe tiled with rats on heroin it's strictly better to have one big rat with big hypertrophic brain spanning half the lightcone, the other half reserved for the big vat of synthetic opioids that youre gonna mainline into said big rat brain. and if it's all the same to you i'd like to be the big rat. please.
