that post about “you get bandits when you cut soldiers loose without pay” reminds me of the Thirty Years War, because one could say that beneath all the religious schisms and diplomatic jockeying, the heart of the thirty years war was “what happens when you have a state with just enough capacity to raise massive armies but without enough financial capacity to actually pay those armies” and the answer is that the line between professional armies and roving gangs of bandits disappears and every time you try to raise an army it just becomes another independently acting wildfire devouring the countryside. No matter how bad things get, every day I wake up and thank my lucky stars that I do not live in 17th century Europe. Or 17th century China. Or the 17th century Americas. Or basically anywhere in the 17th century.
One of my favorite little anecdotes about ancient mercenaries is that it was tradition for most of history to give your mercenaries two wages- "Bread" and "Gravy." Both were set at a daily value, but where "Bread" was intended to cover regular maintenance and life stuff and therefore paid out frequently (Here's your week's meal and gear repair budget!) the "Gravy" wage was paid out exclusively at the end of the contract as one lump sum. So like, your gravy wage and bread wage might be one silver coin per day each, so you're getting a handful of coins every week to cover food, and then at the end of an 800 day campaign, you get a wheelbarrow with 800 coins.
Employers liked offering this structure because then they didn't have to like, try to guess how long the invasion of spain will take and then carry 800 coins per soldier around the battlefield where it could be captured. It also gives them the chance to budget around the assumption that they take an enemy city and *find* vast sums of treasure even if they don't have the full value at the beginning of the war.
The main flaw of this system is that it's very easy to end up in a scenario where if you have, say, 50,000 guys that have been fighting for 800 days, you now owe 40 million silver to your army, and if the budget has not worked out to a 40 million surplus, you literally can't afford to end the war, but you can probably afford to pay them for a couple more weeks. So then you have to start thinking creatively.
Anyway across all time and history a lot of generals were ultimately beaten to death by men chanting gravy.
had to read a sourcebook of primary sources about the thirty years war called "experiencing the thirty years war" like 5 years ago in one of my history courses and it still haunts me.
Either the introduction to that reading or another reading we had argued that the widespread devastation and collective trauma of the thirty years' war was analogous to one of the World Wars. In many parts of (what would later become) Germany 60 to 80 percent of the civilian population died. Wars, famines and plagues have a way of working in synergy.
warning: if you do not set aside a budget for your army your army will do it for you!
feels similar to if you dont schedule systems maintenance your system will schedule it for you

WHAT I WILL SAY ABOUT MY BOOK WHEN ASKED IN OFFICIAL PLATFORMS: "Yeah, I was disappointed with how female characters never get to be mad scientists, there was yet another bad media depiction, and after complaining for hours to my best friend about it I decided to be the change I needed to see in the world. Etc etc. More women in STEM. Women/Monster romance. Support Womens Wrongs, etc. WHAT I WILL SAY ABOUT MY BOOK WHEN ASKED BY FRIENDS: "Yeah, I watched the Dirge of Cerberus trailers in 2000s the plot I came up with in my head for it was so much cooler than the actual (dogshit) game that I decided to just write it out as a book myself." Anyway that book is coming out in October and it's getting great reviews. Spite is a beautiful motivator some time.
and the winner of superwholock is officially??? no one. we all lost. congrats team
related by the barest of threads ... the japanese voice actress for sailor uranus is also the legendary megumi ogata. there was one episode where i would close my eyes and pretend yami yugi was attacking sailor moon
i have no choice but to feel happy for everyone in the alternate universe where megumi ogata continued to voice yugi for the rest of the series. i would lovingly sit through all one gazillion duels with undivided attention if it was her voice the whole time

idk what young person on the internet needs to hear this but you are not obligated to share any personal details about yourself online. in fact im gonna straight-up circle back to 00s era advice and say being anonymous is good actually
"you don't know what you have until you lose it" works for things that suck too btw. sometimes you need to experience life without something for a while to realise oh damn that was some bullshit

This one hits hard. Years ago, I stumbled across a copy of Sister Light, Sister Dark, and got to experience one of the best books I have ever read. She was a phenomenal writer.
