Seconding this, I don’t think it ever even could have gone the other way. In the end the EU (and all its members) is just another bourgeois state with the same flaws as any other, economically and politically beholden to the will of US’s imperialism and capital.

I’m still wondering how the inevitable popping of this bubble will ripple through economies whose currencies are tied to USD, specifically EUR as I live in the Eurozone. I tried to comprehend this the other day but couldn’t wrap my head around it, so I just joined a union instead hoping it might make it easier to survive once it happens.

Thank you, I try my best. Not everyone gets the chance to go the same therapy I did, parts of which should really, really be in public school curriculum, and universally taught to parents to teach to their kids. But alas, it is not.

I feel like my friend (one of my oldest and dearest both in general and in the city I live in) is making great and visible progress in his recovery from mental health and substance abuse problems, and I can’t help but feel somewhat proud of myself too because I had been going through the same process a few years ago and have been helping him along with my own experiences of the same issues as a paraller and my experience in therapy on handling the emotional side of things as guide.

This same friend also agreed to join me and my partner tomorrow as our nation’s president is coming to our city to gloat over his peasants to ask him about our nation’s business with Israel, last time he was asked about this the journalist was stopped by his stooges and apprehended by cops on account of “seeming like a threat”.

Also ngl, seeing how much Mamdami is pushing ahead in New York is giving me hope. Not hope of him like single-handedly bringing about the revolution, but more hope for humanity, you know. When a person can communicate the issues with capitalism clearly for the current audience none of the proletariat can disagree, even those with years of western propaganda over their eyes. And also seeing him stay resolute on issues, and not falling for the usual rhetorical traps that policians use there has been refreshing.

All in all life seems good despite everything that’s going on.

i’ve heard talk that it would be completely unfeasable for the US to ever upgrade its rare earth refining infra to a level where they could compete with the prices that China offers for it’s refined products. i haven’t researched this claim (which admittedly i heard from a Hasanabi video), so i wonder if it’s true at all?

Probably a multifaceted reason, but I think some parts are the universality of her lyrical themes of heartbreak and loss of love, and finding new love and the hope it brings – which I feel she can now wrap in multiple layers of cryptology and her fans would still deduce who and what the lyrics are referencing (and I think a part of fans love doing this). Plus her music is easy listening, ranging from country to pop. Also there is sense of female empowerement from her struggle to acquire the rights to her own works.

Sinäänsä ei pitäisi olla yllättynyt että YLE aloittaa näkyvän kusettamisen, valehtelun ja pimittelyn siinä vaiheessa kun totuus poikkeaa Valtion virallisesta kannasta. Mutta harmittaa se silti. Omia kommenttejani yle.fi:n keskusteluissa jätetään toistuvasti julkaisematta, vedoten loukkaaviin nimityksiin tms. Kerran sain botin sijaan vastauksen ihmiseltä joka myönsi oikeaksi syyksi “negatiiviset vaikutukset kansalaiskeskusteluun ja vaaleihin”, joka oli aika paljastavaa :D you said the quiet part out loud, idiot.

Tykkään miten Ylellä tää uutinen on kahden huomattavasti merkittävämmän uutisen välissä. Merkityksen yksittäistapaus. Älä siitä välitä.

that’s unfortunate.

that was a weird question from me, i’m sorry. it feels needlessly cruel and vindicative now.

Just here to agree that there are several ways one can be “drained”, socially being one of them. I think it kinda betrays a lack of understanding about therapy to claim “It should help you to feel better. If it isn’t doing that it’s actively counterproductive.” because the therapists job isn’t to make you feel better, they’re there to give you the tools and teach you to use them to make yourself feel better, the working part of that happens only outside of the actual therapy sessions. Though that’s a common misconception and I was under it myself long, even during therapy. Which didn’t help.

RTX 2080 Ti and CachyOS (Arch-based distro with an emphasis on gaming performance), most everything that should works out-of-the-box. I wouldn’t stress it, try a live USB first. Edit: also I’m using Wayland, which has been worse with NVIDIA than X11 that Mint apparently uses. So I’m pretty confident you’ll be alright.

this post makes me feel conflicted. on one hand i’m afraid of most bugs in general, so much so that they make me feel sick. so much so that the only reason i like the winter in the north is that all the wasps and shit will burn in hell where they belong.

but then on the other hand, there are perfect funny little men like this. how can one be afraid or feel sick because of a perfect funny little man like this?

yeah, by what i’ve seen from the uk is that you have a massive problem with far-right violence, with the government trying to make it go away by not paying any attention to it? how’d you say that’s working out?

indeed! and it might as well be that what he means by “socialism” is in actuality just “local leftist politics”, which i know nothing of as i’m not british.

thank you. i knew this to be true, but like come on. anyway, shouldn’t think of myself as clearly better because the amount of blindness i experience is different than theirs atm

how are people this stupid?

indeed. i hope more would come to this conclusion faster, i don’t think the ecological catastrophe is going to be kinder to humans the longer we fuck with capitalism. things are only going to get worse.

i’ve been liking her more each time i heard of and from her. she has been and is an inspirational young woman, worthy of much more praise than i have time for now. i especially applaud her uncompromising outspokenness on the issues of the modern world, most of which are present and evident in Gaza/Palestine. i think i remember she confirmed that her personal focus has shifted from environmentalism to dismantling capitalism, and i think taking her reknown globally and using it to expose the absolute depravity of the zionist establishment is vital work. everyone should be more like greta.

There clearly is no limit to the depravity of the class traitors of this particular regime. Soldiers are just more heavily armed cops, and all cops are bastard and class traitors.
