If tankies and liberals would stop stabbing us in the back, then maybe us anarchists would stop infighting with them. Look at any anarchist history and it almost always is anarchists joining some sort of popular front, and then the statists backstabbing us the first opportunity they get. Spanish Civil War and the Ukrainian War for Independence being two perfect examples.

Personally I still work with statists, because I know I won't get far organizing if I entirely avoid them. But I keep them at arms length cause I'm not letting those leopards anywhere near my face.

The Char B1 (and its upgrades, the B1 bis and the B1 ter) is my favorite tank of all time and I love the story of the Eure (Billotte's tank)

Outdated military doctrine, low numbers, being a resource hog, as well as it being a one man turret and usually no radio made it not great. But it had decent cannons (for the time), and stupid good armor (for the time). Its a mixed bag. WoT definitely does it dirty (especially because it won't let you use both cannons), Warthunder does a much better job representing it. The Char B1 ter was and upgrade of the B1 bis but it never saw combat (they were getting evacuated to the UK but the ship they were on sunk off the coast of France).

Edit: Overall a good tank for the time, but would have become very outdated very quickly if it continued service later into the war. There's a lot of reasons why the Germans didn't really use them in combat when they captured them

I did too but I still see the users. It just blocks all their communities.

How come nothing came of that?

I'm so sorry your friend is going through that. Unfortunately, generational trauma is real and its slows if not full on stops progress. I hold this same sort of hypothesis for the education system. Why teachers continue to repeat the mistakes of the past and continue to use teacher-centered strategies despite most teachers believing in student-centered philosophies. We model our behavior off of those before us, and that leads us to make the same mistakes as them. Slowly shedding one or two things, but holding the majority. It requires an insane amount of deprogramming and self-reflection that we are not trained to do. I hope your friend is able to get away from all that toxicity and find a happy and healthy relationship. For their own sake, but also for future generations to learn from and hopefully we can collectively as a society work to break down these toxic habits

Here's my hypothesis. Relationships have historically (with some exceptions) been patriarchal and dominating. Men held power in society, but still needed women. So emotionally absent, toxic, authoritarian men looking for women, not for real companionship, but for reproduction and to have a servant basically. Women being forced into this role couldn't openly express their issues without facing abuse so this culture of body language and subtle communication developed. This purely utilitarian and authoritarian style of relationship has been degrading in place of relationships built on mutual love and desire, but we still are influenced by how our parents treated each other, and each generation is slowly breaking away from this tradition. Some individuals more than others.

But this is not based on any sort of research or anything. This is my own uneducated guess and should be taken as such.

They're like fascists

Wasn't the whole .ml domain an issue way back during the reddit migration too, cause its the domain for Mali? I remember it being an issue when I came over to Lemmy, which was back during that migration. When Reddit locked down its api and a bunch of redditors (me included) did a "blackout" to protest.

You're right, we should focus on Lemmy.ml instead.

I've been building up my collection by browsing my local Bullmoose (idk how widespread that store is) and other places that sell CDs. I've got a disk reader a friend gave me to rip them.

Oh do you have any recommendations on how to do that? I've just been using Syncthing which works fine, but I'm curious if you have better ways of doing it

Thank you for the "explain it to me like I am 5" answer. I may be college educated, but that is in history. I am still basically elementary level with my math lmao

Paid subreddits? Please tell me you are kidding lol, that is insane. Fuck Spez

I am so glad I swapped to downloading my music rather than streaming. Fuck Spotify and every other streaming service. Owning my music is more important to me than any level of "convenience" those services pretend to offer

Maybe the meme was the Greenlands we took along the way
