General Discussion Thread - Juche 112, Week 32

We’re currently united in our sacred duty of lib dunking, once (if) it cools down some struggle sessions might arise, already seeing some fellow lemmygrad users complaining about ppb

Yes. I think the union between Lemmygrad and Hexbear has been a positive one for both instances.

Same sometimes. Though I managed to find an escape in working at the Union and weightlifting.

We can only try to move on comrade. And at least you are a very welcome person over here.

In a better world there would always be the embrace of comrades within walking/biking distance, or even in the communal house with mini flats and large shared areas.

When your options are fight or flight and half that is off thr table you only have one path to take. Crying alone in a fast food resteraunt while everyone pretends to not notice

Me with Games as a Service. The number of spaces you can hide in without someone using cheap psychology to try to coerce you in to buying something is approaching zero.

The headline was misleading FWIW.

Here’s a source of the article (note you won’t find it in English on Western search engines): https://en.mriya.news/103878-baltnews-speaker-of-the-lithuanian-seimas-complained-about-god-helping-russia

very cool

greetings, show us your best capybara emojis

Hey there!

"Because North Korea is ebil and aggressive and wants to invade and eat all the puppies!" - would be the usual response. Source: my colleague is a koreaboo

In their defense they don't have a choice.

Hell Korea?

I've heard tomatoes don't grow well indoors, though depending on the climate, it might be a requirement for them.

I've had a lot of success with outdoor tomatoes, but I do live in a warm and sunny climate. Best of luck!

Have you tried growing garlic or onions yet? They are easy additions to your indoor garden that would go well with the other ingredients.

Power to your peppers!

pretty much, except it's always in the same community

Probably? I dunno what the bear thread is but this is a weekly post where you can comment whatever

Before covid I never got sick and ever since I have been dealing with infections from time to time lol. I think the masks had the opposite effect for me and really affected my immune system.

Still, masks have been such a net positve for society. I wish people continued to wear them more often, especially when they themselves have a cold or anything.

Moving into my new apartment; it's a first floor walk up.

Yeah it's right next to that river that splits after a waterfall and goes in two completely opposite directions. They built the place just to look at it.

What if we kissed under the futuristic DPRK ecosocialism retreat 😳

why the comically large pillars lol

we should make a megathread that links to all the megathreads, like a megamegathread or a metamegathread or maybe a gigathread

u 2 oppo

Thank you, comrade Oppo! You too!

Needed to see this as I started work today. You too!

Thank you, comrade, you too!

You too Oppo as always

like any large instance aside from Lemmygrad and Hexbear, lemmy.ml is infested with liberals 😔

Oh good it's not just me that noticed

many people are saying it

I suspect what we're actually seeing is a time portal in to the early 21st century.

It's actually a brilliant bit to only post the worst memes of reddit circa 2017

I blocked it. just go to the comm page and click block community.

Its pretty funny how they come unarmed (no theory) and get absolutely obliterated like that one dude claiming that workers owning the means of production is literally capitalism 😂

Yeah, a tunnel from my window to yours

sorry but democracy is clearly when private capital writes legislation and senators who were paid by them pass it

You're pretty awesome. Now you know two things.

Aaron Maté has done some great breakdowns on the whole thing.

The Qanon anonymous podcast does a good rundown of it. There’s also a good boy boy video joking about how random the supposed Russian bot posts are too.

No. It was extremely stupid and I have forgotten everything about it.

Because he wanted a chopped omelet

did he eat the burrito right away or later? if it was right away it's definitely much better to use an omelet, if reheated later the eggs might dry making it essentially the same as scrambled eggs.

They are clearly better than me at what they do. I am not inclined to question their methods.

why is it our fault 😭

Been better, been worse. Et Tu?

I laika the doggie

There must be a remembrance of Deng before the sexual act

wait lemmygrad users don't do this??

It's a personal failing but I've been unable to employ theory of mind when contemplating liberals.

That's a lovely stalin big spoon no food, but what about... THIS!?

I haven't tried it yet. But click on the community. If you are in mobile, click on the Sidebar bottom. Then click Block Community.

Can you elaborate what this is ment to mean?

Vaush after every debate.

Havana Club - the real Cuban version. Great stuff! Though you need to pick it up outside the US because of the embargo nonsense.

It doesn't matter aslong as you have a full Blatter at the funeral

inevitably

every year that he continues existing is another year when the technology to put your mind in a computer forever might be invented, so I wouldn't be so sure about "inevitably"

only if there's excrement involved

I thought I was imagining that.

solution: always use VPN and/or Tor

could be that your ISP's DNS is dogshit slow?

Complaints about authoritarianism honestly feel so disconnected to actual on-the-ground problems. I do not understand how people have the ability to even begin to care about how authoritarian something is as conditions get more and more desperate.

"yo, can I have a living wage to support myself?" no, because doing so would be imposing rules on business owners and that's authoritarian

"can I at least have inexpensive or free healthcare so I can labor for you more effectively then?" no, because doing so would force insurance companies to make less money and that's authoritarian

"fine, but please, let's at least sort out the environment so humanity and massive numbers of species don't die out" sorry, but we would need to reduce the size of the fossil fuel industry and doing that is government overreach and authoritarian, also we could take solar panels from China but they're authoritarian

it's really just the ultimate cudgel. you can use it against literally any idea that anybody proposes that require even the slightest amount of coercion or force, regardless of how good or bad or necessary it actually is. it's become totally meaningless.

My boss getting to decide my hair color? Not authoritarian. Some suit deciding if I live or die with medicine prices? Not authoritarian. A government that represents my interests making sure I have access to high-speed rail and shelter? Sus, authority, red flag

the revolution would no longer stop with capitalism

Depends on the word!

We'd probably have to reinvent Marxism due to its dialectical materialist base

You know that scene in Scanners where the guy's head explodes?

That feels like one of the good cumtown bits

Shit, I thought that bug was fixed.

On behalf of /c/fuck_cars, yes, I would not download a car.

Well ok I would but only to seed to deprive manufacturers of profit.

I would if I could

No I definitely would if I could

A French military aircraft breaching Niger airspace from Chad

Funny, a few days ago I was told it would be impossible for the French to bomb Niger, because Algeria would close their airspace. Guess there are other options?

I'm not seeing it

I was before you actually

if u enjoy doing it keep going at it u never know when u get a big inspiration.
