Tardigrades don’t have visible eyes like that in the left picture. That’s some ai-generated slop image of a demodex mite.

It’s the W-class Mnestic agent in the mushroom.

Ah, yes, “everything I dislike is capitalism”, mixed with a bit of “everything I dislike is liberalism”. I think I have what response I’m likely to get from the mod, and if that’s what this community is now, I’ll just leave you to your poorly-delineated verbiage and parroted quotes without context. Good day.

Socialism, anarchism and communism are all equal in the eyes of the rules, but they all lead to communism.

I think the anarchists, at the very least, would disagree with your assertion, but I acknowledge the later points and appreciate the thoughtful response. I still disagree that merely puppeting Lenin is actually related to late stage capitalism since, as you point out, it’s just history. It has nothing to do with capitalism’s late stages without context for discussion, and there is no context given here. It’s just parroting the guy and not actually saying anything with the quote. If the salty american is trying to make a point, I haven’t seen it in any of these posts. What, specifically, is the reformism we are seeing in capitalism’s late stage?

Did you actually read that article? Because it says pretty much exactly what I did in the first lines: they brought elements of the later capitalist system with them. Mercantilism and other explaoitative systems existed long before 1776, as I said.

YOU are the one who clearly doesn’t know how we got here. If you’re going to try to “um, actually” me, you had better damn well have your facts in order.

The Wealth of Nations was published 250 years ago. Capitalism didnt fucking EXIST “over 250 years ago”, let alone as a system in place. There have always been exploitative systems, but not the one founded on Adam Smith’s political philosophy

If we’re going to fight against a system as entrenched as capitalism, the least you can do is put a basic modicum of effort into knowing the actual history, before trying to claim superiority by posting old quotes by smarter people than yourself, without context, and expecting other people to interpret your meaning for themselves. It’s lazy.

I didn’t ask for your historically inaccurate opinion on liberal reform. I asked the moderator of this community if this community’s purpose remains unchanged, or if the sidebar need be updated.

Incorrect. It is an anticapitalist space. Reread the sidebar. Socialism, Anarchism, Communism, etc., are all equal in the eyes of the rules. If this community is just going to be quotes of Lenin, without any actual connection to the late stage of capitalism, then the sidebar needs to be changed.

This is like all of those posts on NotTheOnion which are just regular headlines the posters don’t like: yes, potentially worthy of sharing, but irrelevant to the community.

@K1nsey6@lemmy.world, I would appreciate moderator input: is continuous posting of quotes from a hundred years ago with no contextual tie to the current stage of capitalism and events considered the aim of this community?

Is this all LSC is now? Just a bunch of Lenin quotes?

historically accurate

Listen, friend, this is going to be hard for you, but either:

A) You have a serious misunderstanding of the definition of “history”, or

B) I am the bearer of bad news: Batman isn’t a real historical figure

This has nothing to do with capitalism, let alone its late stage. If you want to post random quotes, regardless of quality, perhaps you should find or create a community for such.

I thought it odd as well, but they complained at how grim it was. I just believe that it’s an easy fix, which helps everyone, to put the attribution somewhere in either the title or text. Very simple, but lets people search for it or filter it. Apparently the OP would rather just be a condescending ass about it

Given the number of people who dislike specific comics, such as the comments on SMBC and PBF comics of late, this just seems like a basic consideration thing, but if you feel differently, so be it. I’m just happy that CustardFist tags their own posts here. This is the first one I’ve seen in a while. Either way, it just seems like this would also be a boon to someone searching for custardfist.

As someone who really dislikes custardfist, I’d appreciate it if people would just put the name of the comic, literally anywhere, so my filter can get rid of it. This should go for every comic.

I’m getting so tired of all these articles with slop images front and center. It’s lazy, a huge red flag, and I refuse to read the article out of sheer disgust.

But that doesn’t stop the thing from getting out when the seal corrodes away…

That’s only effective until the saltwater eats away at all of the seals, at which point it’s free again. Ancient vaults containing artifacts of fell power and their incumbent curses comprise one of the most popular adventure story archetypes. The point is, it’s only gone until someone stumbles across it, and now it’s _un_gone, and worse, the hapless stumbler has no idea what’s going on.

I really like my friend’s justification in his fantasy worldbuilding, which explains it to my satisfaction:

When attempting to seal things of mundane power, mundane objects are sufficient, such as handcuffs and chains. When you try to seal something magically, that extra power needed to seal such a powerful entity has tradeoffs: the more magically unbreakable and irresistible you want the seal to be, the more fragile the conditions holding it must also be. Want to seal all the evils of the world, even for a short time? Well, looks like you’re going to need to store them in a top-heavy, ceramic jar with a tiny bottom, like Pandora’s Pithos. Trapping a genie? It’ll be much easier if you lay the trap with conditions for release, like someone rubbing it three times. Want to bind a violent spirit? Bind it to a fragile mirror, and make it so that she is freed if anyone stares into the mirror and says her name thrice, or if the mirror shatters.

This explains a lot of the folkloric sealing rituals in mythology.

Elsevier was literally founded by the father of Ghislaine Maxwell. He clearly passed on his moral framework to his daughter.

Yeah, they put up LEDs to make a “rainbow road” for pride month as a performative gesture.
