That’s pretty fascinating if true.

- Comment on Anyone feeling like doesn't belong anywhere? 2 weeks ago:
I guess you need to think about why you feel you don’t belong in those places. Are the reasons contradictory, or are they both more similar than you think? Is it a question of who you surround yourself with (or whether you’re meeting people)?

- Comment on Anon was bullied 2 weeks ago:
That’s interesting. Personally I never got into competetive online stuff (other than minecraft servers), and when i did play it with friends it was a bit mid, so i’m also a singleplayer-only guy.
It’s definitely true that those I’ve seen are ‘sportos’ (great word) but there do exist people who out the effort into keeoing an inclusive environment for it. E.g other singleplayer gamers would probably do that.
I think turning videogames into a social occasion helps people to manage it in healthy quantities, which is something I have struggled with.

Sorry to hear that, definitely a different situation to me though. This guy was a bully himself and we let it pass by unchallenged/unnoticed far too much, until adulthood.

True, I didn’t mean to tie it to nordic states like that I just wanted to list some successful socialist ideas

their agricultural and industrial capacity was terrible.
Agriculture yes, industrial capacity no.
- Comment on Anon was bullied 2 weeks ago:
Yep true! I think it went from “all Video Games get you bullied” -> “not playing the right video games gets you bullied” -> videogames now widespread and won’t get you bullied, but I there’s probably a bit of the previous two going on in some schools.

That’s suddenly reminded me of how I had a high school friend who tried to use me as a bodyguard, always getting himself into the stupidest situations and aggravating random people
- Comment on What’s the difference between communism and socialism? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a communist but I do think the USSR was a very successful socialism state. Yes, it was poor - but the wealth of a nation isn’t solely tied to the economic system it uses. Russia already had a history of famines, corruption, drinking problems, and was super lacking in technology. And then it also over extended itself for imperialist reasons/spreading socialism (whichever sounds better to you).
And yes it was ruled by some nasty people. But Stalin and Lenin achieved a wonderful turnaround from a wartorn 3rd-world absolute monarchy into a modernised industrialised state that sent spacecraft to the moon and Venus.
If you look into how they expanded their railroads, I mean wow. No capitalist state has done it the way they did. Some precise micromanaging, the persuasion of foreign engineers to settle down in Russia. Stalin got to live like a strategy gamer playing city skylines his entire life.
Instead of asking “was there a perfect implementation of x ideology,” which there has never been for any ideology, we should ask “are there successful implementations of X ideas?” And for socialism, the answer is a resounding yes. People will say that the Nordic states aren’t socialist (instead being “social democracies”) but they undoubtedly implement socialist ideas.

- Comment on What’s the difference between communism and socialism? 2 weeks ago:
I made this just because I want to say that the easiest way to think about it is precisely that.
This is also how the political compass sort of displays it;
communism is stuff at the left hand edge of the compass, “Laissez-faire” capitalism is at the right hand edge of the compass. Stuff on the right but not the edge are varying degrees of capitalism, stuff on the left but not the edge are varying degrees of socialism.
Communism = perfect, pure socialism, and perfected pure capitalism is Laissez-faire capitalism.
But more people personally prefer diluted forms of communism or pure-capitalism.
I personally think that a lot of other explanations, like *communism has to have no currency* are literally just opinion, not objectively true.
because certain leftists think their type of communism/socialism is the only one that should be considered valid. This seems foolish because it treats politics like religion; politics is in fact primarily policy decision in response to issues - or it should be this - so you can’t really argue that there’s a “correct denomination” like some Christians or Muslims do between other members of their faith.

- Comment on Why is the US so into Israel? 2 weeks ago:
Hahahahahahahah
It’s because Israel has blackmailed US politicians for 70 years. They have the most active and ruthless secret service agencies in the world (Mossad), and they used Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring to generate blackmail on various powerful people. And there’s more but thst’s probably all you need as an entré

- Comment on Is the "everyday stuff" supposed to feel normal? Do y'all just have a parent do things then when you're supposed to be the adult you panic? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s supposed to feel normal, but for me i have to hype myself up and set aside a whoel half a day in which x task will take place. Like anything you listed there (passports, airports, going to the doctors) is a “big task” and no more than 1 big task can take place in a “block” of my day (i seperate the day into 3 blocks of 5 hours of productive time; 7-12, 12-5, 5-10.
- Comment on How did old-money people of color maintain their wealth through racist times? 2 weeks ago:
Racist ideology is a tool used by the rich to divide the poor
I don’t think this is true most of the time.
In the case of black people in america though, we see that most of the hate towards them is via ideas of them being criminals or poor and lazy. If you’re rich, you circumvent all three of these things. (Because rich people apparently can’t be criminals heh) Whoopee!
I think rich people generally don’t start shit with their neighbours or social circle, rather if they do it’s more like passive aggresive shit that all neighbours are made to suffer equally. So that might be part of it.

I’m craving sparkling water now. I forgot how much I liked that stuff. It’s been years
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 2 weeks ago:
eat more salad (if its a question of not being motivated to drink tasteless water) and if you do eat a lot of salad already then just lug around water in a little bottle when you 1. go on strolls and 2. go to bed, and sip on it.
Or you could commit to a glass of water after every time you pee/poop.

I took over an unmodded community in the past and from the modlog i can see that the instance admins actually moderate it in the inter-rim when it’s unmodded. Actual moderators massively reduce their workload though, in that regard (usually reducing it to zero).
