  • Okay I would ask questions for any amount of money unless they tell me first. The people I feel I would easily give money are also the same people who I’d expect they tell me first why- they wouldn’t be “hey mothra got some spare 100s?”

    To answer your question, I would easily give 10 to about a dozen people or so, 100 to half of them and 1k+ to only 3, and for a very good reason only. I didn’t even realize the number of people would halve.

    I’m obviously not an expert since I’m the airhead a few comments above who wouldn’t recognize a bomb in the ground. But 80 years is plenty to cover an object. Lots of things can happen. A couple floods or rainy seasons will soften the soil. Debris will pile up and rot over it. Animals may step on it and push it even further, especially if the soil is damp.

    My parents did some renovations a couple of years ago and left a large pile of old tiles and bricks in the backyard. The pile got reclaimed by grass damn fast and is half buried now. A small object over decades ? It disappears







  • Okay, I don’t know if the word has a very specific meaning in contemporary military vocabulary.

    All I know is that a mercenary is an umbrella term for a “warrior for hire”. It’s typically associated with having to do jobs most others don’t want to do, either because they’re very demanding physically or because they’re morally questionable. And this is where your confusion with assasins and hitmans comes in. A mercenary may also be a hitman, it depends on the context. But not necessarily. Usually mercenaries are supported by ( because they work for) either the government or some other legal entity. An assassin or hitman usually doesn’t, or at least isn’t supposed to.

    In other words, a mercenary has a reputation for taking morally questionable jobs but isn’t regarded as a criminal, whereas assassins, hitmen, and evil henchmen are criminals from the get go.

    I hope that helps


  • Mothra@mander.xyztoAsklemmy@lemmy.mlHow often do you go to concerts?

    Never. I can’t stand the crowds and the loud music. And I don’t appreciate the crowds singing and screaming on top of the music either. I’ve been to concerts like two times in my life just because others insisted so much I joined them, and the experience was exactly what I thought it would be.

    I’m just not cut for them.

    I don’t think I bought band related merch ever, but I’ve seen some really cool stuff so that is something I would consider if the opportunity presented itself.



  • Good on her!

    Yes I remember seeing the 70s Playboy magazines for the first time in my life just a few years ago, and I loved them. As you said, they were more about erotic nudes but it was also mixed up with tasteful art, literature (not all of it erotica either) and articles on contemporary culture. I would absolutely want to buy a few issues if I ever get the chance.
