I just read War and Peace for the first time last year. There's a section in the book involving hunting with borzois, and the narrator mentions that one of the characters paid a family of serfs for his best dog. He didn't pay money to a serf family - the cost of the dog was a serf family. Imagine that sort of bullshit if you're a serf.

Sounds right. There's that British family that was caught underpaying their staff do much, they spent more on their dog

Fuck's sake those serfs can be trained to hunt too, what a waste

if i'm going to be sold for anything, a dog is probably the only option that wouldn't make me feel miserable

so long as they take care of the good boy

Well, it was a good girl in the book, but don't worry - she wasn't treated like a serf.

i mean as much as anyone can be these days, yes?

not sure what about that joke is worrisome given the general standard online..

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Nothing about the joke is worrisome to me.

I just had a hunch I should ask. False alarm, I guess.

Have a nice day :)
