same thing you say to people who had relatives killed by Stalin
“there is a good chance they deserved it”
by the way i see it, voluntarily settling in a land that’s being colonized and ethnically cleansed comes with accepting the idea that you and your family are at risk of suffering retaliation
“failed idea that is palestine” israel is such a successful idea that we needed to pump into it billions upon billions in weapons just for it to survive
y’all living with someone?
At least we came to the conclusion that your thing is that you hate russia and its people and just wish them harm
rather simp for someone opposing nato expansion than for a neonazi puppet regime staffed by people handpicked by the CIA. I swear you liberals refuse on purpose to understand that in the grand scheme of things the action of a “bad guy” can still be beneficial.
Russia isn’t conquering the world anytime soon. So what would you rather have? a more multipolar world where russia has a relatively safe and solid position after showing that it won’t be bullied into submission by nato (with the whole world watching), or a world where russia is balkanized into several statelets without the political, economic or military strength to resist capitalist infiltration?
We saw what happened last time russia got defeated. We lost a bastion of socialism, we saw tens of millions impoverished while a few capitalits dismantled everything that the USSR had built, and the whole thing ushered 40 years of hegemonic atlantist domination.
So yeah, i am rooting for the “neoliberal protofascist dictatorship”. There is a reason why literally nobody in the global south sanctioned Russia. 75% of the planet is reasoning the same way i am.
Cuba is probably the one i have the most cultural affinity with, so it would not be that hard to adapt and learn the language. But i also can’t survive in warm climates, so northern china it is
if i had a time machine i would just go back to 1983 and give Andropov my kidney
Could you describe your situation a bit better in terms of general conditions? I have some knowledge but it is mostly relevant to the conditions in my country. Stuff like wheater, police attitude, crime, etc.
Anway, some things i suggest to the people i work with (i am a social worker, have experience with migrants who received little to no support) include:
there are apps that allow you to buy leftover store products at a dirt cheap price. In my country it’s called “TooGoodToGo” and you can buy “closed boxes” of products for like 2 dollars. For example a bakery will throw in some croissants, some bread and a couple sandwiches. At least in Switzerland, with high living costs, it is by far the most efficient way to spend your money and getting stuff that’s ready to eat.
Get to know the public spaces in your area. You can spend a lot of time in a nice and comfortable building if you care to look for places like libraries, public centers or clubs, and you’ll also mitigate one of the main dangers of homelessness: social isolation.
Prioritize hygiene, washing your clothes and your car. You say you have a job so money shouldn’t be a giant issue - don’t be cheap on this stuff. It’s way more important than we think, both practically, socially and psychologically.
Do anything in your power to maintain your network of friends and acquaintances. Being socially integrated negates most of the psychological challenges normally posed by homelessness.
This is obvious, but in general keep yourself occupied. The more time you spend doing stuff in places, the less time you spend thinking about the feelings of instability and vulnerability that comes from not having a house.
Anyway, i feel like having a job and a car (assuming you are financially somewhat stable) puts you in a good situation. It will suck for a while, but you have all the cards to make it. Good luck comrade, let us know how it goes
at least on twitter, it’s 80% bots
tbh Bing can have them, tf are they going to do? be even more irrelevant?
there are like dozens of reasons why we got rid of them in the first place.
They are expensive, dangerous, not particularly efficient or fast, and tbh i’ll be fine without a 100 meters long amazon Ad in the sky.
Rendered bacon fat instead of oil
masturbation is healthy and natural (unless excessive). Getting rid of porn is absolutely a good thing, but the whole “nofap” thing is just manosphere bs
i mean it’s not exactly a mistery. We are sexual beings, the orgasm releases a lot of feel-good chemicals and we are hardwired to chase things that make us feel good. It’s both something inherently addictive and something tied into our very psychology.
it’s like not being able to wrap up your head on how and why people eat fast food even though it’s unhealthy. Both our bodies and minds respond positively to it, that’s all
i have a feeling that one inevitably ends up left if they have that “not an asshole” gene. I’m a social worker and like 90% of us are leftists because you either have empathy or become right wing
yeah i see what you mean. It’s a bitter sensation, like hating something but systematically
“Bakhmut cup” is the new “Speer hoodie”
i wish i had some key moment in my life that definitely turned me to leftism, but the truth is that i kept looking at the world and kept getting more mad
i’d say DC has some pretty big misses but can also churn out decent movies every once in a while. The new batman movie is very good imo, far better than anything marvel has produced in the last 15 years - just on the account of it having SOME creativity compared to marvel’s lack thereof
“i don’t want my words miscontrued” bro no one cares about you or your words
