A co-op could handle it without much problem.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 12 hours ago:
A lack of housing is not the problem most places. The problem is that housing shifted from being a place for people to live to a way for people to acquire “passive income”. Hell, the very design of housing changed in a noticeable way: houses shifted from being homes to being feature laden investment vehicles.
- Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts 2 days ago:
Zuckerberg got lucky once, used the talents of others to capitalize on that luck. If he was smart, he would have quickly retired and set about enjoying his wealth but instead he’s wasted small fortunes running Facebook. Got high on his own supply when really he was never especially talented at anything.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 3 days ago:
Chemists. I’m to understand some of the instructions are dangerous.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 4 days ago:
Yes
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 4 days ago:
It has a bad reputation

They’re executing people in the street for civil disobedience. A

You’re living in denial my dude
- Comment on Tankie 1 week ago:
Your case would have a better point if Russia wasn’t constantly creating conflicts.
- Comment on Tankie 1 week ago:
Ok, fine, Tankies are a variant (ostensibly) of communists that seek to use state violence to coerce and terrorize the working class into unquestioning obedience to the state.
- Comment on Tankie 1 week ago:
Anyway you slice it, it seems Tankie was a wrong word to use here, even by Tankies own definition.
- Comment on Tankie 1 week ago:
Isolationists would want to stay out of Ukraine to mind our own business, this guy wants to stay out of Ukraine because .ml is notorious for giving modern day Russia a free pass with their Imperial nonsense.
- Comment on Tankie 1 week ago:
They don’t care who “wins”, they profit off of the war itself
People kept telling me that the Taliban won the war in Afghanistan but I kept telling them the US Military Industrial complex won.
- Comment on Tankie 1 week ago:
Tankies traditionally supported the USSR above all other Warsaw pact countries.
- Comment on Tankie 1 week ago:
Tankies seek to use state violence to coerce and terrorize the working class into unquestioning obedience to the state. Sometimes that violence is directed at the working class in other states so it’s hard to argue they oppose war.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 1 week ago:
Not quite the same situation but when my grandparents moved in with my parents, they set aside everything in their kitchen into storage and it sat there for 30 years until they died. I save a few things then set most of it out on table with a free sign and 99.99 percent of it got scooped up quick. A fed ex driver told us they were new to the area and almost everything in their kitchen came from our table.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 1 week ago:
“I spent a life time making professional and political decisions that robbed the younger generations of the same prosperity I enjoyed and just can’t wrap my head around the fact that they can’t physically fit huge heirloom furniture into their tiny living accommodations”
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 2 weeks ago:
Not always. I’ve seen clips of reaction videos where people are shown older media that’s typically unfamiliar to young people. In that case, it’s a way to reassure older people of the continued appeal of the pop culture of their youth. Something like a modern high schooler listening to Led Zeppelin for the first time.
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
I’m saying that alot of people use the word “anarchy” to imply something akin to a riot; total chaos rather then what it is: a political movement opposed to hierarchy. The powers that be, approving of hierarchy and being opposed to anarchy encourage this incorrect use of language.
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
Is that right, is that all China is pushing for?
Are you playing dumb? Being snarky? China is pushing for chaos in the west.
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
And Donald Trump is the extreme opposite of an Anarchist.
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
Unless China is pushing for community gardens, and mutual aid drives in the West, lets try a different word.
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
China wants Anarchy in the west
Anarchy isn’t a synonym for Chaos
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
You’re not wrong that they support those countries but you haven’t explained how that’s pertinent to the topic at hand.
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
He’s telling the truth for once. MLs don’t believe that workers should have agency over their lives or the revolution. They’re very much a top down belief system hence the “Tankie” part: ie enforcing political orthodoxy with the threat of violence against the workers.

Ok, fair

Usually cough syrup is what you do if you can’t get acid. I have trouble believing he decided to do both
- Comment on Someone has a LOT of dusty computers 4 weeks ago:
A once a year huff at your favorite music festival is fine but yeah, two of my friends started having trouble walking and while another friend and me realized our hearts were doing weird stuff and quite that stuff. Turns out it oxidizes the b12 in your blood stream. They started getting b12 injections but spending an afternoon huffing destroys all the b12 in an injection. Better to quit.
- Comment on Someone has a LOT of dusty computers 4 weeks ago:
Chronic use can really fuck people up though. Nitrous oxidizes b12 in the blood stream destroying it and that can lead to neurological issues.
