I have a hard time picturing how a “return to nomadic tribes” would even work. How would you turn a densely populated country like, say, the Netherlands, into nomadic tribes? The planet could never sustain 8 billion people living as nomads. Not to mention, it wouldn’t stop war or conquest in any way. See the Mongols, Scythians etc.
Areas with lots of city states have historically been hotbeds of war and chaos. Ancient Greece or the HRE constantly had tiny states squabbling. It would also make large infrastructure projects much harder. Building a highspeed railway line through Europe is hard enough right now, imagine the same thing but instead of 5 countries, it goes through 50. It would also be a mess to get any unified environmental policies through.
So no, I don’t think either option is realistic or desirable.
If you’re looking for some fair trade and organic stuff: I’m wearing torland for a few years now. I used to buy new jeans every year because they didn’t last so long (even branded ones). But the ones from torland didn’t disappoint me yet. Still got my first pair from 3-4 years
I can’t count on my fingers how many times I’ve seen that fucking movie reprise on television. Way too overplayed that it ruined the film series for me.
The series creators wanted to film the series in Hawaii. But another little dino project was also filmed on that location: Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. Spielberg also happened to be a producer of Terra Nova. He didn’t want Terra Nova to be filmed on Hawaii out of fear it would be too similar to Jurassic Park and he practically vetoed it away. This forced the creators to look elsewhere and i believe they settled on New Zealand. The problem however was that it was massively more expensive to film a series there. The costs eventually canned the series.
Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, but that’s a book.
It’s not my favorite ever, but I’m currently watching a weird Canadian, 30 year old-woman-finding-herself comedy drama that is based around a magical therapist who uses time travel in his sessions. It’s called Being Erica and it’s on Hulu. I can’t stop watching it.
Wow the one for the annoying app spam is great! Thanks for that! So many times I looked up something to get annoyed with their stupid “oh no we are a web forum but you have to install our app so we make more moneeee” message
I didn’t know this was possible, god damn I would love it if there was an add-on specifically for stuff like this, which you could then toggle independently of adblocker.
