Tax was 10% and eventually another 10% for the church...
You would get married at 16 and everything.
Stuff these days that is done by 3 workers would be done by 13 or more. And the "deadlines" lmao as a concept didn't exist. If something was extremly urgent entire village would come together and like pull stone from the mountain and lumber from the forests to rebuild a burnt down house before autumn rains.

MFers over here like "actually being a serf would be good, actually"
Pretend-Charge5029@reddit
he didnt say it was "good" explained why some people might look back at the past and see some positives compared today. illiterate redditard

"um achually" ahh post lol
no_one_knows42@reddit
Yea all they had was family and community and the sense of belonging and seeing the fruits of their labor help out people they love. They didn't even have social media or addiction boxes that show porn why even live?
Iron-Fist@reddit
Literally tied to the land as serfs so hope you like them. Oh and child labor, corporal punishment, and religious indoctrination were the norm. Oh and 50% child mortality. Oh and 25-35 year life spans. Oh and your lord could basically trump up any charge they want to punish or even execute you.
Ahem, that's the noble land lords fruits. Best hand it over... Or else.
This mfer rather give up all rights as a human than simply put down the phone and touch grass... Jfc
Arcane_Monkey@reddit
That’s avg life expectancy, not span. Most adults lived to a reasonable age, it’s just that child mortality was crazy high.

Nobody said that but if you live in a western country you work half of your life for the goverment against your will and what you get back for it is more immigration and social welfare for the unemployed and drug addicts.
I can count on one hand the amount of time the goverment actually helped me in any way.

Who needs roads, electricity, internet, water and sewage treatment, schools, libraries, fire prevention and control, worker rights, vaccines, or medical and scientific research? If I shit in a bucket and die of dysentery at 40 I could save $500/paycheck! (but I work 60 hours/week for $5/hr now)

My dude if you live in a western country you have literal trillions invested in human and physical capital all built up around you and freely available... Also zero percent chance you're a net tax payer lol
Phteven_j@reddit
Quoting tax figures is worthless without context. They pay oodles more taxes in Scandinavia than we do in the US, but they have a much higher quality of life. “Muh take home pay” is only as important as muh cost of living.
There are much much worse things about living in the past.
WheresTotoro@reddit
We don't have a much higher quality of life.

Literally nothing is stopping you from going out into the woods and becoming a medieval farmer

I kind of find it fucking crazy that bitches used to marry losers because they had no other options in life. This place is truly a shithole.
I have been trying to determine whether or not I am a good person based on this sentiment that I've had for a while. Am I a good person if I am willing to will good upon the world contingent on myself having not been of the world?
I mostly believe people no matter who they are, are acting in their own self interest, but like if I wasn't bodied, wasn't of flesh, I would find it easier to hope for a better world.

The bitches were losers themselves. Skill-based matchmaking really
LowOwl4312@reddit
why do you oppose sexual communism? it's only fair
MonotonyDauntSonder@reddit
Sorry I oppose anything I don’t understand. Luckily I understand everything.
Dronelisk@reddit
is it really a good idea to give women all the options?
imagine if they made a dating app that connected men and women from all over the world
women get the choice of 500,000 men every day and they could press a yes/no button with only a photo and a name for each man
wouldn't that completely destroy dating and romance between men and women?

Cool it with the anti-semitic remarks.

Don't ask why a Rabbi bought Pornhub.
MonotonyDauntSonder@reddit
Tell him we need more categories on Pornhub. And like their tag system is shit. There should be blacklisted tags. They should let you choose which kind of ads you are ok with seeing, especially whenever I want to look at men the kinds of men in these ads are gross to me 😞
Valuable-Chipmunk784@reddit
They will never allow you to blacklist BBC tags. For some reason I guess, no idea why.

Romance is a rather modern french invention, it was not even part of the equation back then neither was love.
I’d rather have a 1 in 10000 chance of modern love than be locked in a feudal systems where my choice of partner was determined fully by the socioeconomic or sociopolitical benefits it gave to my family.
Dronelisk@reddit
well I'd rather not, having a 1 in 10,000 chance to find a mate is not compatible with my biology
MonotonyDauntSonder@reddit
No.
Perhaps. But I think in the real world the biggest issue with dating apps is that there are much much more men on them than women, so women get to be a bit more selective.
Perhaps the analogy isn't that great but I think its a bit apt, whenever I am gooning I like to spend a bit of time finding the right kind of video. I could just choose the first video I see but why would I when I have so many options?
It's sort of less a woman thing and more a human thing really. But then you could argue that the way reality is is because of the differences between men and women.

I hate these people that want to “homestead” which means they’re just on well water and own chickens. They still eat a normal amount of eggs so they just give the eggs away to everyone they know. They work in the city 45 minutes away and commute there for all amenities like gym, school, groceries, socializing. Then complain endlessly about how they live 45 minutes away because they “have land.” Meanwhile they pay super low taxes to the city despite costing 10X as much in infrastructure and free parking at all the amenities they use.

Which is why now that we don't have to do all of those things we should have more free time to enjoy our lives.

The fact that there are no recorded riots over looksmaxxed 5/10 time travelers stealing all the damsels is proof that time travel will never be invented.
