  • Anyone have any communist podcast recs for someone is vaguely liberal but not politically keyed in?

  • TrueAnon is both the main podcast that I want to share with all my friends, while at the same time know it is the hardest to pitch. So much nuance to their humor/sarcasm that has to either just "click" or require listening to enough episodes to understand when they are being serious (I still can't tell sometimes with how well they just flow).

    Very frustrating since I would love to talk about all the funny stuff and have my friends get references I make before I realize I made them. I have started archiving my favorite episodes (do this with other long running podcasts to keep on my mp3 player) with the hopes that I can more easily share them if the right moment comes up.

  • "corrections"

  • I agree about them being a lot of filler for a lot of things (really depends on the channel and the topic). That Disney Fastpass one was really good, and really made me glad that I only went to Disney World twice back in the early 00s when the passes were much simpler. Was shocked but not surprised to see how fucked they made it into. If you have to pre-plan what you want to do each hour of the trip, it really takes all the fun out of shit (and really fucks anyone that hasn't been before not knowing anything). It is impressive how much joy the min/max crowd get out of the current system, but really sad all at the same time.

    The only mostly gaming long-form YT docs that I get excited to see pop-up are from Down the Rabbit Hole. I was not prepared to actually get interested enough in learning about EVE Online to sit through a 6hr video (broke it into a few chunks). I went to check out some other ones to see what others have made, and even with much much shorter run-times they weren't as interesting.

    Also recommend "The Story of the Internet Hero Who Grinded to Level 99 in the First Area of Final Fantasy VII" from Cybershell. Pretty funny watch all about a guy that grinded out getting Cloud and Berret to level 99 in the first part of the game. All because of spite. Only a 18min run-time.

  • Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom's press conference.

  • All I can think about with all the masked fascists (aside from them being fascists) is how basically all of them loved to not wear masks during the main Covid stuff. All claiming that they "couldn't breathe" with them on, and how antifa and sheep wear them and should be banned. Would be awesome if some folks were able to soak them in pepper spray before getting passed out to the fascists. Would be pulling those shits off real quick, and maybe do some damage to their lungs. Hell, would be awesome if a fuck-ton of pepper/tear gas grenades got set off with them trapped in their APCs. Sadly the lib media would keep backing the blue and call the heroes that pulled off the efforts as "thugs."

  • Microsoft bans LibreOffice developer's account without warning, rejects appeal

  • I feel you on that. I do PC repair currently and people that solely use email (in my case it is older Outlook folks) for keeping entirely too many records that can get wrecked. Never making an effort to have fall-backs if the data gets fucked. I will give them credit on really liking and using a program, but refuse to see me (or my younger co-workers) as anything less than filth if literally anything ever changes or breaks (especially after they themselves fucked-up their PC to the point of the shit no longer turning on). For all the "knowledge" of organizing their folders and contacts. They never ever take time to learn how to make sure they have correct exports/backups for those moments. And then there are the AOL Gold Desktop crowd that really freakout about that shit getting hosed (though they are much much fewer in numbers).

  • I am also kind of losing steam on season two, but only like two eps in. I think that in my case the issue is kind of the frustration of the time jumps and that it keeps going like two steps forward and like one or one and a half backwards. Though I guess they want to create the feeling, so I guess it is working. Same thing happens with other shows that do similar (or in other cases seem to try so hard to not reach a real point until like the last ep or two). I enjoy when they can land it, but I tend to kind of hate whole seasons until "the big reveal" or whatever is able to make it worthwhile.

    When I watched the first season of Severance, I had just finished Pantheon and liked that it chose to end after two seasons. So after the first season of Severance, I was hoping that it would not try to run more than two or three. It is wild how much they can make these modern shows pack basically the slowness of older 25 ep seasons of older shows.

    Kind of the same annoyance happens when I find what seems to be a long-form YouTube doc/deep-dive. But realize that it is all AI and keeps somehow constantly repeating the same information in a circular form instead of more information (gotten real good at picking up on that shit). Or like supper click-bait "articles" that have multiple "next page" bits at the end of each page. Just always circle with "but that is when the crucial and amazing blah blah" with like a few sentences that "advance" the topic (and of course the page is just loaded with ads).

  • CW IRL self-harm, not sharing a link or images in the "spoiler," just a very general description. Feel free to delete if a mod, or just reply with "please remove" and I will delete it myself.

    Not a "favorite" (due to being self-harm) but really fucked-up one that involved fans recreating a very morbid "scene" that mimics something a player could come across in Fallout New Vegas (or any of the games). Seems like a creepypasta, but 100% true. Again, CW for self-harm.

    Two men committed suicide, but they apparently really liked the Fallout games. They dressed-up like characters (I don't believe any specific named ones) from the game I believe one had a Vault-Tec coveralls and the other was either a generic wastelander or a raider, and left a note (with a small bag of a few shotgun shells and bottle caps like you might pickup) that read kind of like ones you might find in a spot where people got hit by raiders. Text of the note: "The raiders overtook Sanctuary. Food stores running low. Only have 6 caps left and a bit of ammo. I think I hear something in the distance."

  • Everyone gives shit to Boomer parents but I don't think Gen X parents get enough hate

  • There is still time for those non-conservative Gen-Xers to change the way history books will present their generation. Can't let those conservative branches be the loudest and given the most media access. Would be even better if the real leftists of their generation were able to flip the whole thing away from conservative and liberal. But numbers are small compared to the sell-outs and the "Got mine. Fuck you." crowds.

  • I am just done with all the Boomers and Gen-X folks being condescending about Millennials and Gen-Z being more supportive of options left of Liberal. Get hit with "you just don't understand what it was like living in the Cold War. And I don't think you would support them if you were around for Vietnam and constant threat of nuclear war" (or some version of how much chaos existed in the Cold War like we haven't lived through basically the same shit and more along with them).

    Those same people will talk about how they protested Vietnam, nukes, and were so active (along with "you will get more conservative when you're older") in other protests like Civil Rights and Women's Rights. Maybe even say some shit like "I didn't sell-out, I bought-in" when pressed about why they became their parents. This doesn't mean that very broad generalizations of gens is correct. But there are some broad sections of every gen that are large enough to be the "symbol" of those gens. Millennials and Gen-Z will be known to Alpha and (I am guessing) Beta based on similar observations. So it really matters that we need to try to be better. I don't care what the older gens try to "symbolize" us as, because it is how much we fail those future gens that matters.

  • It also helps that (I think) two of the resistance groups are communist/socialist. So it would be worthwhile for OP to study those groups and their contribution to the struggle now and in the past. Everyone knows Hamas (seeing how basically all media paints them as the whole of Palestinian revolution) and should be made more aware of really all of them. Might at least be good starting point and better show how shared efforts are needed to fight imperialism.
