>Finish watching the LOTR trilogy >Returning back to real

Watched all Directors cut of them. That's like 12 hours of movie. It was good I guess.

Oh yeah!

Did all three at once (toilet break in between 1 and 2, lunch/dinner break in between 2 and three). IT was a fuckin endeavor but an achievement I can say I have.

Just spent the week watching the extended trilogy, 2 hours a day, to make it last.

Okay guys, memes aside, what was really the tax policy in Middle Earth?

I was sick in bed for a week, so I decided to watch Lord of the Rings every day for the whole week. So I watched the whole trilogy twice in 6 days, and then on Sunday I figured I'll commemorate this achievement by watching all three films in the same day.

That was 11 years ago. But now I'm feeling I want to see it again.

Watch the Appendices. Almost as much of an emotional journey as the films themselves.

Returning to your real life in which you probably don't have to live with a medieval level of technology is a letdown?

Tell me a technology that's more comfy than sitting around a fire.

Sitting around a campfire listening to spooky stories on your Phone, And a nice cold beer would also be a nice touch.

There's nothing stopping you from living a life that has meaning nowadays. You can go help old ladies cross the street and stuff. Try to make the world better.
>>85594326
Sitting in my cozy bed. Sitting around a fire is great if you do it voluntarily, it probably kind of sucks if you have to spend your whole life like that.

This is bait but i'll bite.

Peasants didn't have arranged marriages. In fact the overwhelming majority of peasants basically "married" a close neighbor or another villager out of necessity, and there was no actual legal marriage papers or any silly shit like that. The Church could care less about peasant marriages. And a peasant could beat or potentially kill their wife if she stepped out of line because Women's legal status in the middle ages was one step above "property" really.

Mortality was relatively low for peasants after infancy, in fact it was much lower than that of nobles because peasants didn't really travel or fight in great battles or get put in an army with a bunch of other dudes from all the far corners of the empire. Infant mortality was high as fuck, but you could expect to live a reasonable 50-60 years or so if you made it past childhood. That was the real reason peasants shat out kids like crazy, you needed to maximize your chances that at least one would survive to adulthood.

Robbers and thieves could only really exist in the wilderness where no Lord or Knight had holdings, because said Lords and Knights would cave their shit in for fucking with their peasants. Peasants (and their produce) were the most valuable investment a noble had, so they were protected as fuck unless they left that noble's land.

Peasants in the middle ages actually lived pretty comfy lives compared to some ages. You basically worked like a fucking slave in Spring and Fall, partied and did whatever in Summer, and fucked like rabbits in Winter. Sicknesses were generally only problem if an epidemic spread, which wasn't really that common, and law was generally strictly enforced in civilized areas.

People in the Ancient era and the Renaissance had it far, far worse overall.
