- Comment on HUNTER: Muslim rape gangs targeted tens of 1000s of poor white girls as authorities ran cover 3 weeks ago:
Why is the Toronto Sun reporting on things supposedly occurring in another country? Why can’t I find mention of this from that country? Why is the only reference link in the entire article a link to what appears to be an explicitly right wing propaganda mouthpiece? Do you normally get your news from sources such as the natinal enquirerer? The sun has long had a tenuous grasp on reality. Slop has been their soup du jour forever.

Point taken, and I dont disagree. What I’m saying is though, there ARE governments that clearly state what they are. You shouldn’t discount self description in full because of the DPRK or whatever. Of those governments that do accurately self describe, I dont think any of them explicitly call thselves socialist or communist.

Lol “them damn commie Scandinavians!” Nah
- Comment on Communism 4 weeks ago:
Im not disagreeing here. That is one way to interpret “how communism with no capitalist boot on your neck?” Note though, those states dont self identify as communist or really even socialist in most cases, which leads to muddy waters, and does no favors for socialism as a political system… As an economic system its arguable, but not relevant.
I am far from making an argument for auth; it is however important to point out the context in which the most famous example of authy socialism are taken from. I feel that being aware of the strategy of the propagandabeing consumed is important.

Couple considerations: what is a nation to do when it constantly is on the verge of civil war, hasnt had breathing room to get its feet under it after a political revolution and is beset by brand new, world power level enemies doing everything they can to make sure your new nation fails?
Followup: when has this not been the case for a new communist nation? How many coups has the US backed? How many times did we try to assassinate Castro? Vietnam?
Finally: what does it look like when none of the above is true?
We tend to think of nations in a vacuum, but they exist along side each other and they have people like us inside them. Stupid, greedy, lying, shitbags that are full of empathy, love and curiousity, just like us. That makes them messy by definition, but its easy to forget.

You’ve got it, really. The difference between stalin and hitler is largely one of rhetoric. There’s definitely political differences, but gulaging that many people, in the name of “saving up for the house” of no more oppression… Both used a political system that had nothing to do with authoritarianism and perverted it to their own ends. Both called it socialism, both lied.

The questions still valid… Why would I simply be aware what year I was born in under the Chinese zodiac so that I could get a new SS card. You are missing the forest for the trees.

I’m not sure how to interpret “liegal”
Is that a typo of legal or illegal?

Technically true, but I’m thinking they’re trying to explain this isn’t from a species of scaleless snakes (yet)

Survivalist militias are, and guess who already has a history of going too far…
- Comment on Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? 2 months ago:
I mean, the people of a bloodline is a literal descendent of a specific person, while a family tree shows people who marry in as well.
The fact that you dont place value on knowing exactly how generically related you are to the person you wanna bang is fine, but to say its “made up” is stupid. Its made up in exactly the same way every part of human culture is made up.

Goodwill exists to make rich people richer. The disabled people they “exist to give jobs too” are super exploited.

- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 4 months ago:
Linux does not solve OPs problem. Telling them to use Linux does not help them at all because its so far from how to actually get what they want and introduces so many new problems that its laughable.
The fact that using Linux allows them to find workarounds to the specific problems is not a solution in and of itself, and holy shit are there still usability problems with Linux if you start doing anything slightly complicated, which it seems like OP is.
Linux people be like:
- Draw a circle.
- Draw the rest of the owl

The blind egotism and arrogance of Linux users really is quite twatish. You guys are just insufferable. Being right doesnt make you less insufferable.

In all seriousness, its gonna depend. If it can survive minimal ventilation, throw a shoebox with some holes at it. You probably dont want it getting touched, but so long as its not, you’re prolly fine.

I love me some IPA, right up till you start adding adjectives… Hazy? Juicy? New England? West coast? No. Beer, hops, yum. Get the rest of that nonsense out of here. As a home brewer I refuse to get my Adjective IPA palate.
