Thanks for the great overview.

Also it’s very much actively going on and the current generation is totally involved.

But what happens is that the men and women separate and have their own conversations.

Maybe your girlfriend would appreciate it, if you didn’t just let this separation along traditional gender lines happen as if it was an unstoppable force of nature. Keep it balanced or just keep the boring friend talking to yourself the whole evening. Should be easy, since you said it dosn’t bother you. Then your gf can have intellectually stimulating conversations with your mutual interesting friend while you do that.

Okay, here you go and another one, just did a very quick search, but I’m sure you can find plenty more from every political affiliation.

NATO supporters always claim, that as a sovereign nation, Ukraine should have the right to end the war on their own terms. To get together with Russia and say:“If you do this and that, then we’re happy and the fighting ends.” But, oh wait, that already happened years ago in 2022 when Russia and Ukraine practically had an agreement to make peace but NATO caused them to keep fighting. German, Turkish and Israeli mediators who were present at the negotiations all say that’s what happened. As does chief negotiator and leader of the ruling party in the Ukraine, David Arakhamia. They all agree, that NATO influence was what ultimately caused the deal to fall through. Is that what support looks like?

Yes, fruit is a botanical category, but vegetable is not.

That sounds like the script to a weird road movie. We’d just need to change it so the one roommate is reluctantly accompanied by the other roommate for some reason and they both change and learn something along the way or something like that. Also the toilet pucks all have famous landmarks of the places they are supposed to go engraved in the resin, so those can later be sold to fans of the movie as merch.

That’s from the previous ship, the Magic Seas. Still relevant though.

I’m not religious at all, but did you see the rainbow glimmer for a split second when all the charges exploded? Like a reminder of God’s promise to humanity, that hope will prevail in the end.

Are the people who read the propaganda really the customers? Or are they the product being sold to the billionaire class?

Then the inherent contradictions of capitalism really started to hit, quantitative change passed to qualitative change and progress grinded to a halt and science and technology are regressing now in the imperial core.

It can be forced to be at an exact position, but the basic LaTeX approach is to just let LaTeX handle figure placement automatically at an approximate position, that works well enough.

Did you try AntennaPod?

There is another unnamed, off screen Irish character mentioned in the movie, whose only known features are: hangs around in pubs and sold a dangerous and probably illegal three headed dog. Funnily enough, that guy was Greek in the book — makes sense with the dog stemming from Greek mythology. But someone from the movie must have thought:“Greek? No, that can’t be right. That pub guy must have been Irish. I’ll correct that.” As if the book wasn’t racist enough.

Same. Though I also like me some “dangerous radicals” as comrades. Or maybe some “dirty commies”, if I’m in the mood. But my dream would be to become a “red menace”.

Relevant song.

What? No. Comrad, of course you deserve to have it good! You’re not a villain. The idea of labor aristocracy is about people allied to imperialist interests. People with privileges are free to reject them. Depression or other issues can lie to you and skew your self image but remember you still deserve to be happy.

They proved it for n=5 and 10.

Might have something to do with Iran and Russia being capitalist, torn by contradictions, led by liberals and ideologically idealist.

This was some years ago. I tried, but couldn’t find it again. Crimethinc is a bit like this though. They were never anarcho-capitalist, but they changed from vaguely apolitical lifestyle individualism in the 90s to actual anti-capitalism around the time they wrote this book called “Work” in 2012.
