  • Why do you think so many people on the Marxist left defend Stalinism?

    Jump

  • As an anarchist:

    There's no such thing as "stalinism" and whatever you think that word means is some bullshit the US government told you to prevent solidarity among the working class.

  • US Democrats are not leftists

  • I see you stopped reading after the second sentence of the comment you replied to. I present you with the rest of the comment, which I implore you to now read:

    But when polled on issues, apart from party identity, Americans support policies far to the left of any politician. Universal health care is perhaps the canonical example.

  • Argentinian President Milei: "A company pollutes the river. So what? Where's the harm? It can pollute all it wants. There's plenty of water; we'll worry about pollution when there's a shortage."

  • I'd settle for any river tbh

    Or a swimming pool. Sink. Toilet. Whatever works.

  • I give it like a 10% chance it indicates he's a fascist, 90% chance he's just a nerd who thinks they look cool. Most of the evil the sith do is like cartoon villain evil shit that doesn't really map to real world evil, so it's possible to just think it's fun.

  • Valve gets sued for promoting gambling, gamers: "The Jews want to punish Valve for selling porn and not deleting hate speech"

  • CS and a few other games, because of All Talk, have allowed me the unique videogame experience of interrupting a racist’s tirade with a virtual assassination

    Dude my proudest moment in gaming was doing this to some guy in Arc Raiders. I'm a super passive, chill, helpful player. I never shoot first.

    But there was this one guy at extract that I overheard saying some racist bullshit as I approached. So I creeped around and found a good angle while my friend was distracting them with the normal "are we cool" probing dialogue (we were both pretty sure they were going to try to kill us anyway) and I just popped the fucker twice in the head and dropped him before he knew what was happening. Once his buddy went down we were just like "We don't like racists" before executing them lmao

  • Frankly if you see someone stealing anything from any corporation, no you didn't. Mind your business.

  • Who wants to learn Arabic?

    Jump

  • I'm paying for 1 on 1 teaching 3x per week, we go through her textbooks page by page. Then I supplement with whatever solo reading, listening, and other studying I can manage to get myself to do throughout the week, which is admittedly little.

    Going by the CEFR system I'd call myself firmly A2. I can understand even reasonably complex sentences as long as they're spoken slowly, I can form sentences for all the general basic stuff. I often struggle with the finer points of forming complicated sentences myself though, stuff that has multiple clauses and such. And I definitely struggle with following conversations spoken at a normal speed, even if they're clearly spoken and use only words I know well. There's definitely still a firm "translation layer" going on, where I have to think about what any given sentence means in English rather than just understanding it directly in Chinese.

    I'm getting close to the point that I could pass the HSK2 exam if I wanted to, HSK1 would be easy ofc.

  • Thanks! I'm enjoying it, even if it's tricky!

  • Who wants to learn Arabic?

  • That sounds sick, thanks for offering. Maybe I'll take you up on it eventually. For now, I'm about a year deep into mandarin, and I barely have it in me to study for that haha

  • I'd say that general woo stuff is very common among the poor. Stuff like astrology and ghosts and such. But I think there's a subset of rich people who really want to believe that they're rich because they're special and insightful and know stuff we plebs don't know, and that fuels some other types of woo that are less common down here.

  • I didn't hate it, but most of what I liked about it felt like a shallow reflection of the masterpiece that was FF10. The things that were like FF10 were good but not as good as in that game, and the things that weren't like FF10 weren't good.

    The combat system is really cool, though, I just wish they'd made the fights significantly harder, especially toward the endgame.

    Also it might have the best battle music in the entire series.

  • You know, FF13 and Transistor are the only two games I've ever completed, then looked up wtf was going on, and still didn't understand.

    TL;DR: There's a mod on their instance, @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com. The mod in question says, "all 27 million Soviet citizens killed by the nazis deserved it." This was 9 months after having been educated on the fact that that number includes many civilian holocaust victims. The server owner, db0, thinks these are cool views to express and not indicative of nazism. The server owner got very mad that we called for this nazi to be banned, and pretended we were making this all up.
