The nazis famously sent unionizers and socialists to the camps. They even started an anti communist pact.

Fascists combine socialist ideas with racism and nationalism

They really don’t. They just steal some of our rhetoric

Deeply tragic

Smart lights did wonders for me! Specifically having them slowly turn on to wake me up without alarms has been very nice. Provided I went to bed early enough it makes waking up very gentle and automatic. I only still use alarms just in case the light somehow doesn’t wake me

Edit: ah, but that might not help with falling asleep, but might help you maintain your schedule in the long run. Having automation turn your lights off when you’re supposed to go to sleep might do something, so long as you are also good at not looking at bright screens prior to going to bed.

haha, I love this. Would these flags work (on paper) in other areas in the US where pride flags are banned? Surely other states and cities can’t ban city flags

No. They’re all tankies or okay with tankies, which is more or less being a tankie. I recognize some of these users and many of them literally don’t believe in democracy and do stuff like defend the USSR etc. No leftist infighting here as usual, just people trying to push us to support their shitty little military regimes.

Don’t the people you block still see your posts?

We should genuinely be banning all tankies and accelerationists on sight. Allowing them to poison the debate to the extent they do really is our greatest flaw and the only real “leftist infighting” I’ve ever really come across.

Pretty sure leftist infighting is just a tankie dogwhistle at this point.

Many of these people legitimately hold these views. I have a friend who is absolutely a socialist who is still very much in favor of my country not aiding Ukraine as it would support “imperialism” in his eyes. My impression is that he and those like him are unwilling to ever compromise on any ideal they hold, even if it means not supporting any position whatsoever. Like you can debate him as much as you want about whether or not aiding Ukraine in any capacity is imperialism or not, but at the end of the day his main concern is not contributing to something he perceives as evil.

That said, I do agree that many of these people aren’t being genuine. I sometimes wonder if he’s secretly an accelerationist or something. Many people that use the same talking points as him online certainly are, rather than fascists trying to take us down from the inside.

Rams that behave like ewes

Of course they don’t have gender identities, but this sounds a bit familiar to some of my own experiences.

Fuck disney

Shaming the platform is a great way to make fence sitters leave, even those that are “good-faith-neither-left-nor-right-people-who-always-strangely-support-the-right”” that don’t want to come of as that kind of person will leave if staying there makes you look bad. KKK fell apart partially because of a shaming campaign if I remember correctly.

She compares the US allowing abortion as equivalent to your society drifting off towards paganism, which she describes as sinister. If she wanted a deep discussion about where to draw the line she shouldn’t have brought up how the romans raped their slaves before saying that was where your country was headed.

Why do you not show more consideration towards your skin cells?

The article seems rather prejudiced against non-christian cultures and uses slavery practices, slaves rights, and womens rights in ancient rome to imply that the rest of the world was the same. Additionally, there is a rather clear difference between a one year old child and a few months old fetus, even if it is true that the exact moment we pick as an acceptable limit for abortion is arbitrary. The author paints any sort of sexual freedom as us regressing back to antiquity, which is obviously just some dumb slippery slope thing, made clear by the last part of the article painting christianity as a garden and paganism as a wild sinister forest.

Also, why is it that pro-lifers never bring up plan B or contraception?

Camouflage/Chameleon

yes! It’s surprisingly difficult for being such a simple concept

Absolutely the game(s) of the year for me. Some games are surprisingly long with hours of gameplay, but most are short, and with the ability to jump in and out of games at will my ADHD brain is very happy. Some games I would never have bought on their own, and them being in this little bundle means it’s easy for me to give them a chance.

I really do recommend ufo 50 to anyone who likes retro games. It’s like having a nes emulator with all the games, but with the added benefit of modern game design and a minimum standard of goodness.

Also, playing the bundle at the same time as a friend is a nice experience! You start talking about what games you’ve tried and give each other hints and stuff.

Fav games: Porgy, Avianos, Rock On! Island, Pilot Quest (time in this game passes when you play other games btw!), Grimstone (get a bank account if you get stuck), Mini & Max

I haven’t played the game for very long, but from what I’ve seen it would take a few hours to get to the point that you can just get a thousand bucks and blow them on a title, but it’s entirely doable. You would have to focus on upgrades anyways to start with just to get a proper income up and running, and then once you can fish with greater speed and with a greater success rate it should be fairly trivial.

Thanks for your opinion straight person

Great write up. It bothers me a lot when I see people suggest that supporting Ukraine is imperialist and therefore bad, and that Russia’s aggression should simply be accepted. Judging the actions of any entity based on what category you can put it into is dumb as hell when you can judge it on its merit instead.
