  • Have you ever momentarily forgotten a word, so you just make one up?

  • This is a personal method for making up words for things; you won't find it in a dictionary. Feel free to use it, though; maybe someday you will!

  • There's the -dooj suffix, which means "a familiar thing that should be around here somewhere, and that has such-and-so quality." This is useful for asking questions like "Where's the ... the clickydooj?"

    • clickydooj — TV remote
    • stickydooj — roll of masking tape, wad of blue-tack, etc.
    • pokeydooj — sharp tool, digging stick, etc.
    • dogwalkydooj — leash
    • scoopydooj — ice cream scoop
    • pinchydoojes — tongs

    (The variant spelling -doodge is also acceptable.)

  • Under communism, what incentive is there to pursue highly dangerous or specialized fields?

    Jump

  • I was talking about Maoist and Stalinist dictatorships, not socialism.

    "Communism" was the brand name that these dictatorships used for their artificially red-dyed flavor of fascist mass murder. This name was stolen from the original Communists, and falsely & deceptively used by the fascist mass-murderers. Neither Stalin nor Mao had any intention of ever living in a classless society. Like all fascist leaders, they demanded obedience beyond that accorded to feudal kings, and erected new forms of hierarchy and class for their servants to populate — while they murdered the common people in whose name they claimed to rule.

    The "dictatorship of the dictator pretending to care about the proletariat" murdered the proletariat by millions.

    However, when people today say "Communism" — as in the title of this post — they are often referring to those dictatorships, and not to the earlier Communism of Marx and Engels, whose name the fascists misappropriated.

    Hence my response, which distinguished Maoist and Stalinist fascist dictatorships from the theoretical communism of Marx and Engels.

    Do not bother making excuses for fascist mass-murderers. There are none.

  • Reviews should all contain brand-unfriendly language

    Jump

  • Alas, language doesn't work that way. Consider: newspapers used to refrain from printing swears literally. They'd write something like "——" or "[expletive]", or they'd paraphrase. But then politicians got a lot more foul-mouthed, and newspapers had to start printing more swears just to report what the politicians said.

  • Under communism, what incentive is there to pursue highly dangerous or specialized fields?

    Jump

  • Yeah, where the dangerous job was "hunt something so you don't starve", the motivation for doing the dangerous job is pretty obvious.

  • Under Maoism or Stalinism, aka the dictatorship of the dictator pretending to act for the proletariat? You are ordered to do it, for your own good and the good of the Party. If you don't follow orders, you just get shot; and your family is put in a prison camp, your children raped and beaten and forced to labor.

    Under real stateless, classless communism? Nobody knows, because that hasn't existed yet. Anyone claiming to know exactly how it might operate is talking out of their hat. Marx is pretty clear on that.

  • What Is Going on with All This Radioactive Shrimp?

    Jump

  • Officials from Indonesia’s nuclear energy regulatory agency have traced the source of contamination to a steel manufacturer in the Cikande industrial area known as Peter Metal Technology, or PMT. Some of the highest levels of contamination detected in the area were reportedly found in the company’s furnace, which is about 1.5 miles southwest of the BMS Foods facility where the shrimp was processed.

    Investigators think that radioactive dust was released into the environment after PMT inadvertently smelted scrap metal containing cesium-137. “Because it’s airborne, the contamination can be carried by wind,” said Bara Khrishna Hasibuan, a senior adviser to Indonesia’s Ministry of Food Affairs, at a Sept. 30 press conference.

    Scrap metal was commonly used as a raw material by PMT, according to the Indonesian outlet Antara News. It’s unclear how it may have become contaminated with cesium-137. Biegalski, whose area of expertise includes nuclear forensics, told CR that the “easiest explanation” is that a medical or industrial device containing cesium-137 was inadvertently reprocessed as scrap metal. The radioactive material could have become gaseous after entering the PMT furnace and then been released from the facility’s smokestack, he said.

  • Is it racist to oppose illegal immigrants?

    Jump

  • It's racist to use immigration law to maintain a racial underclass. For instance, many essential agricultural workers in the US do not have access to the courts or law enforcement to protect their rights. If a citizen assaults one of these workers, the worker cannot safely report the assault to law enforcement without being punished for doing so.
