  • That day has come.

    The 'compulsion for stealing' has survived the era of hired agricultural hands. Socialism has not only sustained it, but extended it to the entire society. It became a built-in part of the whole system. Stealing (and I use this term in its broadest sense) in all its ritual, symbolic and other implications, has become an engrained element of peasant culture today, as much a part of it as, say, Maypoles or Easter eggs. Stealing these days is not done by just some people but by almost everyone. The chief accountant steals just the same as the animal-feeder who hides groats in his trousers or in her bra, or the watchman who knows full well what goods workers smuggle home, or the swine-tender who deliberately breaks the animal's leg on the trough so that members of the cooperative may buy it cheaply. ('You want a suckling? You shall have it tonight ... ') Everyone is familiar with the system. What a cooperative member finds demoralizing is not the fact that the whole system is based on stealing, but that he cannot steal enough (Sozan, 1985: 95-6, this author's translation).

  • No plans. I die like a real man.

  • One friend of mine does that. I think it's because his parents weren't very close when he was growing up.

  • Also, most of the communists believed in international socialism from the start, that they will all unite against capitalist countries. Only to start fighting between each other later.

  • I've heard that OpenAI loses money even on their most expensive plans, which are 400$/month.

  • one objective standard spans all centuries.

    The best example of this not being the case is found in renaissance art. Beautiful women were depicted as chubby by our standards because extra weight meant being wealthy. This standard changed during the Reformation when gluttony started being seen as a sin and a sign of depravity of the Catholic church. From then on, the standard of female beauty shifted towards thinness.

  • Not my bad decisions this time.

  • I eat plenty of things from the wild. The key part is knowing what they are before you eat them though.

  • Also, the people who don't like him will do terrible things to that highway.

  • The infamous sneak peak.

  • It's possible that Trump was taller 30 years ago but lost height due to age.

  • Cloudflare would be more like a leaf covering the image because you don't need it to operate the stack, you need it to work in order to be able to see what it's doing.

  • That's rich coming from Quislings.

  • Having a pick me conservative female candidate reinforces all their values while co-opting more women through representation. In this respect having a female President could be way worse, think Erica Trump.

    Yes, that is the fundamental flaw of identity politics.

    I agree with your point and I think the reason it hasn't happen has a lot to do with the extreme sexism the US has.

    Yes, but in other countries they still get elected despite the sexism. I find it hard to believe that Americans hate women more than the people in struggling third world democracies do.

  • It's wild how plenty of more conservative countries have had female presidents in the past.

  • Hegseth was the guy in the Thalmor embassy you get drunk to create a diversion.

  • “Well, daughter, haven’t I taught you to forgive and to forget? So, your father sowed his oats, oh still you should not fret. Your father may be the cause of all the boys in town, but still….. He’s not the one who sired you so marry who you will.”
