  • Wasn't there a thing where trump just took the world cup trophy or something? Did they invent this as a ploy to give him a gold trophy so they can to get the world cup trophy back?

  • What’s Your Take on Eating Animal Product That Was Going to the Trash Can?

    跳过

  • Personally I lost the ability to digest meat or something and now whenever I accidentally ingest some (most recently: cabbage rolls filled with rice that had been cooked in meat-based stock) it gives me a bunch of GI distress, especially acid reflux. So for that practical reason I would avoid it.

    A similar conundrum presents itself when a restaurant mixes up my order and gives me something with meat. Obviously if I tell them this and they take it back the dish is thrown out and wasted. I occasionally used to just sigh and eat the dish for that reason until the GI issues became too bad. Sometimes if the server is nice they’ll just let us pack up the extra meat dish for someone else to eat.

  • This go-around has changed my view of the point of these prizes less as “recognizing the best of humanity as such” to “the hideous narcissists in charge of everything love winning pointless prizes and titles, let’s invent one that they get for not killing everybody that they possibly can” in which case bravo to whomever came up with that one

  • Sometimes I wonder how much of that crying is driven by them being kept from using the entire country for sex slavery in the 90s, like they enjoyed with Eastern Europe.

  • I hope I would have had the wisdom to do the same thing in his shoes. True, victory will go to those who are willing to put their lives at stake. Many causes are more worthy than dying to decide which bourgeoise control a country. Although some national liberation movements can be seen as doing that to ensure local bourgeoisie dominate instead of foreign; a less powerful adversary for Marxists? Although once situated the local bourgeoisie can (sometimes authentically) cast rebels as foreign-funded agitators. So the wheel of history turns. In Ukraine’s case it seems the price of their defense being funded by foreign countries is foreign bourgeoisie controlling them anyway.

  • becoming mad with power with the smallest amount of power

  • Exact same thing happens in open source software. Many are just there for the love of the game and commit access is as clear a power delineation as can exist. Holy fuck you meet some absolutely malevolent children.

  • Elon is going full Kayne!!

  • The chapos also say this, like the past few years the project has been to make some Jewish people into uber-whites, a gated community within a gated community. Jewish supremacy and even just the validity of racial consciousness generally has been a big shift the past few years which is super fucking dark.

    The way he says it here is weird and I don’t know what angle he’s coming at it from.

  • The Atlantic: Neurodivergent students are faking it and have it too easy

    跳过

  • Being uncharitable to myself, this basically describes me. Back in the day my parents paid a few thousand bucks to send me to a neuropsych in my final year of college because I was struggling hard. I was gunning for that adderall scrip - had copped a couple from friends and they made me seem like the superhuman scholar of my dreams (the first hit is quite something!). Then the neuropsych came back with a report that was like "surprise actually you are autist" and I was like wtf. These days of course I could have had a 20 minute zoom call with a pill mill and got my amphetamines. I didn't get my drugs but it did give me extensions on some assignments, even extending a couple months past the end of the formal school year. Sometimes I still have nightmares that there are assignments I have yet to complete before they'll give me my degree. Anyway without that advantage I definitely would have just failed out.

  • Rising Prices Are Bad, but Plummeting Prices Are Worse: Americans may envy China’s deflation. They shouldn’t (CW: The Atlantic)

    跳过

  • One of the funnier things to say to libs here in the US is "real estate prices should drop by 90%" which forces them to confront one of their basic contradictions, which is gesturing toward "affordable" housing while wanting their house to continue going up in value.

  • I am not happy making music anymore

    跳过

  • Don't beat yourself up about it. 7-8 years is a natural amount of time to devote to a serious hobby and you are well past that. I thought I would rock climb forever until it became a slog to convince myself to go and then I stopped. Now I have a different hobby and am very happy. Anything you don't do as a job should ultimately be done for joy, play, and experimentation. You are not doomed to do the same thing for the rest of your life after becoming good at it, and certainly not because you've spent a few thousand bucks on it.

  • Best E-Reader for pirating now that Kindle is difficult?

    跳过

  • Well now Pine64 has done a second run of them and there are two possible images to choose from, Debian and Arch. However neither are particularly stable and easy to use. That being said, if you want a linux e-ink tablet you'll get a linux e-ink tablet - with all that entails. Personally I love mine and would consider buying another if it dies, although the remarkable is very tempting.
