They were not technically incarcerated (according to the law). They willingly (read: forcably) signed a contract to “work” despite most black folks at the time being unable to read due to laws not allowing anyone to teach them to read. This was before chain gangs existed.
Not so fun fact this was popularized by white sherrifs on freed slaves after the emancipation proclamation because the “free” black people couldn’t pay a fine of walking parallel to railroads, selling goods, QUITING A JOB, or whatever other stupid bullshit was pulled. So they were leased out by the state like tools and were often worked harder than when they were slaves because there was no incentive to keep them healthy as the state was charging less than a tenth of what they were “worth” as slaves. Anyway the process of settling continued and is mostly a way to reduce sentencing and cost. I hate this country 🙃
I left during the blackout. I use reddit occasionally for specific questions I can’t find anywhere else. It’s a shit hole, but an old and useful shit hole.
Why do you care? It’s not your life, don’t worry about it. Worry about yourself. There’s a reason domestic violence increases when the UK loses a futbol match and it’s not the “soft boys” you’re complaining about.
There’s this game called Arc Rise Fantasia for the Wii that’s mechanically interesting with the worst English dub known to the English. I got far enough to where something happens to half the party and they’re no longer usable. I had really only been leveling those characters and soft locked myself into a really hard boss fight. I was praying for a force-lose boss but all I got was the game over screen.

Can’t relate. I obsessively label EVERYTHING. Funny shit though
Damn, learn something new everyday. I love AMOLED screens just for that reason.
But that’s something you disagree with… I hope.
Jokes on you I’m doing both
I might just be confused but weren’t corpo posts banned? Idk if oc but well done if so, love this art style
Didn’t include “rule” in title, yuck.
No but seriously out of curiosity what in your eyes is a good reason to downvote.
It jiggles if you move it quickly lmao
Seconding Moon Hunters. Very cool game
Naw, these are extremely frustrating. They make navigating websites super difficult for anyone using a screen reader. Websites are supposed to have a certain level of accessibility by law that 97% of them don’t follow.
