idk about asylum but Thailand has a pretty permissive visa system where you just keep renewing it every few months for a small fee

Sometimes a message doesn’t warrant a response. My wife sends me links to stuff online
- Comment on Is there a medieval equivalent of the youtube channel "Primative Technology" 4 weeks ago:
It’s not medieval but something that feels in the same Genre to me is Townsends on youtube. They do historical videos about 18th/early 19th century America - mostly recipes

That’s not applicable here
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 5 weeks ago:
That’s actually not how a political ideology works! Do you believe that socialism is about exterminating your political enemies because nearly every socialist country in history did so? Or is it more likely that the people who label themselves with a political identity often fail to live up to their own ideals? Or that they never believed in those ideals in the first place and used it as a convenient tribe to gain power? Because liberalism has no opinion on the shape of park benches, that’s just stupid
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 5 weeks ago:
Oh so someone calls themselves a liberal and that makes everything they do an example of liberalism?
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 5 weeks ago:
What makes those cities liberal?
- Comment on I'm gonna mute this one 5 weeks ago:
This is not literally liberalism lmao

It appears to me that we actively made the problem worse by removing shelter options from the market. It seems like you USED to be able to pay a small fee to sleep somewhere with a roof over your head, and now your own options for shelter are $1800/mo in rent, or sleeping on the street
- Comment on Remember, kids! Unregulated capitalism is not your friend! 1 month ago:
As compared to today, where we humanely let homeless people sleep under bridges instead

America has one of the largest Spanish speaking populations in the world, so in future web applications I will use the American flag to indicate Spanish, for the lulza

Even C++ has gotten better if you use precompiled headers and parallel compilation in MSVC
- Comment on “It’s Compiling!” 2 months ago:
I feel like this has gotten a lot better though. I used to work on projects that took 10 minutes to compile and now the build tools I use are nearly instant

Whataboutism

“Yeah well what about Iraq, 2003???”
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 2 months ago:
I think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 2 months ago:
I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something

- Comment on I fucking hate modern design and modern designers. 2 months ago:
I believe it’s changed the expectations around “instant” messaging. When I was growing up, if someone texted you, you weren’t obligated to reply immediately. With IMs, you might reply if you were near your computer.
Now, my project manager messages me on slack over lunch break and then messages me like 15mins later with “Hello???”
- Comment on History Channel 2 months ago:
There are lots of examples where a socialist approach is preferable to unfettered capitalism.
None of the things you described are examples of socialism. Socialism is not “when the government does things”
- Comment on History Channel 2 months ago:
Tell me why that’s a bad thing? Why should I care?
- Comment on History Channel 2 months ago:
I don’t subscribe to any philosophy which advocates for the murder of its enemies

Did you read your own link? The one you yourself even quoted? It calls itself an independent socialist magazine.
Dylan Sullivan is an Adjunct Fellow and PhD candidate in the Macquarie School of Social Sciences, Macquarie University, where he teaches politics, sociology, and anthropology.
Which is why I don’t value his economics paper very highly
Richard Wolff, another economist, explains socialism in a very clear and comprehensive way. If you’re not intellectually curious enough to entertain Richard Wolff, I’m done responding. On the other hand, I’m happy to engage with someone interested in learning and discussion.
No serious economist refers to themself as a Marxian. A “marxian economist” is like saying “a psychic physicist”. Right off the bat, anyone who commits themselves to a pseudoscientific view should not have their scientific views taken very seriously at all.
