I spell things correctly on herw
Reject national identities, return to soft border cultural cliques
Yea this is good partner behavior as I’ve been taught. Jumping straight to problem solving can be dismissive. It’s talking past where your partner is at rather than meeting them where they are
Actually thinking about this for a second I’m an idiot. What’s the solution stage for “my burrito exploded?” Pick it up ho?
It worked flawlessly for Hilldawg 
Just got bought my first free drink. Who knew it would just take being shirtless with the leather harness? 🤷♂️
Been getting back in the gym working on my muay thai and bjj and man it's not fun remembering why you got out of competition while you're trying to get back into competition shape. My knees fucking hurt. All these ligament tears I never properly addressed are catching up with me. I need to see a doctor for it but fuck navigating the byzantine healthcare referral system
Is this actually that common of a thing? I try to stay away from the trash side of anime, which is to say a solid majority of it nowadays and especially anything that could be described with the word harem, but I struggle to accept the apparent reality that slave romances are a common trope in the genre. Like that’s straight against the wall, do not pass go, do not collect $200 kind of behavior and to think that that has such an audience that it’s become a staple of the genre is maddening. In the lovecraftian sense
Playing through Bethesda games but taking the main plots seriously completely changes the flow of the games. Right now I’m replaying FNV and actually pursuing Benny like he shot me in the head. I made it to Novac and just said fuck it I know he’s going to the strip, I’m not wasting time with these ghouls in the repconn facility. Going to be interesting seeing how the dialogue shifts when I go back through these earlier level areas after completing much of the main quest
The development of nationalism and its consequences has been a disaster for the socialist project
Honestly the folks at lemmy.world weren't cowards for defederating from us pre-emptively, they're cowards for not admitting they did it because we're such an active instance that we'd eat up their entire frontpage
Honestly could see the war lasting indefinitely a la Korea where a ceasefire is reached though western Ukraine will never recognize the sovereignty of eastern Ukraine under Russia and they just keep the artillery pointed at each other forever. The way the war has ground into WWI style trench fighting with heavy shelling it’s hard to believe there will be anymore major breakthroughs, or at the least it’s hard to imagine either side thinking it’s worth it to shove the amount of men and material into the grinder that would be necessary to succeed. Russia gets its buffer zone and the US gets another regional power to dump arms and troops into
Im not arguing for unipolarity and regardless of what anyone thinks or wants we’re heading in the one direction towards american decline and the rise of alternative power blocs. I just feel that people should have sober expectations about what that has historically meant
Yea but multipolarity almost always guarantees global war between competing capitalist powers
Moms for Liberty has heavily promoted trainings for conservative activists on how to take over school boards, which ought to make clear how we should understand stories like this one, which just sound like a racist tantrum in a Texas suburb. These aren't random or isolated events — they're part of a large, well-organized and well-financed attack on public education across the country.
I feel like it's important to keep the eye on the ball here. The right has been incredibly successful at organizing at the local level and has flipped a lot of seats because of it, and not just in the rural south either.
The US funding and arming far right militias as a means of attacking a geopolitical rival has historically always been a good idea and resulted in very few consequences
There's nothing to indicate that the empire will not just continue on in another form following the collapse of its american iteration
Can someone please remind AOC that she called the migrant detention centers concentration camps and then ask her to give us an update on the progress towards shutting these facilities down? I'd hate for her to forget how rapidly she sold out
The major difference between a republican and democratic administration largely seems to be whether or people react with disgust when our political leaders speak candidly about our foreign policy because at least the majority response to that one was “that’s a war crime.” Not like it fucking mattered tho
