The best horror is based in reality, but just separated enough to make you uncomfortable because you know it's not. AI is horror in that regard

Walking where I live has an LD50 of like 40 minutes.

Good thing they removed most of us from the economy

That sucks, where I'm at I can just hit a delete key and take out the entire company.

Just start sabotaging

Only Schindler's Lifts are acceptable

6->7 required me to remove the eyes for some reason

WNC and East Tennessee are legitimately the most beautiful places on the east coast. I've lived in the Asheville area my whole life. Coming back here after going to a city or any flat land is almost surreal.

He's the best video game reviewer because he chooses games that illustrate philosophical topics like this and uses them in the context of that topic instead of deriving the topic from the game.

Jacob Geller is amazing btw. The video is about the uncontrollable urge most men have to dig holes, and the movie Holes

The star links sucked anyways. Can really only handle like 100 connections before they overheat and they put them all on 192.168.0.0/24 address space so when you have 500+ people trying to connect it just straight up didn't work.

Luckily switching to 10.0.1.0/16 is easy, but most of the people they were handed out to didn't know that. Meanwhile HAM radio just works. It can also support unlimited connections.

Those people are providing a living for themselves, all I'm saying is that working with someone on a project where they're very involved and you're all passionate about it and you don't have to balance that with another full time job is nice.

Until the workers come out and say that they feel that JT is exploiting them or using them this whole relationship seems to be fine compared to the alternative of working for a company that directly seeks to exploit you to the maximum extent.

I'm sure cooperative ownership isn't out of the question for this project, but there isn't really much money in communist propaganda so it's amazing that they're able to support 4 salaries doing it.

If he's managing to provide a living for 4 people and those people are in a situation where they don't feel exploited, I don't really see how what he's doing is why different than say Pravda pre-revolution, or any number of other communist newspapers/periodicals over the years that until the revolution had to support their workers through wages and sales of a product.

I mean, Marx was only able to write Capital because Engles had money from profiting off the labor of others. How is this any worse than that?

Im not kidding when I say day 1 they give me something lethal id be fragging the highest up in the chain of command that I can reach lmao

That's actually why so many revolutions came out of conscripted forces. It's terrible, but giving a bunch of people who don't want to fight weapons and training makes it hard for you to control that when they come back home.

Conscripting forces (under capitalist or imperial systems especially) will almost always lead to some form of domestic revolution or civil war either after or during the imperial war the conscripts are fighting in.

Exceptions seem to exist in predominantly settler colonial states or states with massive existing racial/ethnic underclasses. Since the way to quell the revolutionary intents of conscripts is concession at the social underclass' expense.

See the GI bill and redlining in America, Palestinian relations in Israel, North Koreans in South Korea, etc.

So a conscript force in NATO states would likely result in a fascist/socialist dialectic reforming as the old liberal states slide into reaction.

Without conscription, there can't really be a large scale violent revolution, but it's also less likely to literally consume the world in hellfire overnight as the old guard clutches to power in the most violent ways possible.

Also former conscripts made up the majority of revolutionary leftist parties, fascist paramilitaries, and organized criminals. So there isn't really a positive to conscription beyond just heightening contradictions and forcing more people from passive political life into active political life.

I'm also very interested in a more clear definition of what this instance considers "Kremlin propaganda"

Is posting Russian music Kremlin Propaganda? Is linking an RT news article Kremlin propaganda? Is Al Jazeera Kremlin propaganda? Is there a list of allowed/non-Kremlin propaganda news sources we need to use?

Is the Kremlin propaganda limited to the past 20 years or is posting old Soviet art and literature also considered Kremlin propaganda? Is posting articles from Seymour Hersch Kremlin propaganda? Is posting Blowback podcast episodes Kremlin propaganda?

Can I share opinions on the works of Lenin and Marx or is socialist literature that came out of the Russian revolution also considered Kremlin propaganda?

This term is incredibly broad and not very useful unless you're being explicitly anti-communist or are being xenophobic towards Russians.

I understand the sentiment "no propaganda", but you also never clarified if posting Western propaganda is also taboo. Can I post NPR and Federalist articles? Can I share stuff from BBC and the Economist? Am I allowed to share an NBC story sponsored by Lockheed Martin about the new high tech MANPADS the US is sending to Ukraine?

I just want some clear examples of what is considered propaganda and what the lines on this are.

An absolute disgrace can you believe it? They're coming for me because I'm the best they're scared of me. Who wouldn't be scared of me I'm a scary guy not as scary as those North Korean boarder guards but I'm a scary guy

It's not crime if your collar is white
