Poland does have the greatest piano composer of all-time: Chopin.
edit: oops I see he was mentioned below.
Absolutely incredible writer. Solaris is especially fantastic, but the invincible is also good.
They're doing great work fighting NATO right now, and taking out the anti-semitic trash from europe.
You can use xz and unxz . It works exactly like gzip, except it uses the same compression algorithm as 7zip, and it comes on most systems.
The one this comes from, Macbeth, makes even less sense. The prophecy is "not of woman borne", which for some reason caesarian sections don't count??
Seems like a lot of anglo standards and measurements are done to make everything as illogical and confusing as possible. NASA wrecked a Mars robot entry over imperial unit conversions iirc.
ISO8601 makes the most sense: general to specific, year-month-day, and it sorts on computers well too. I forget which countries use that general to specific format, I think Chinese language does tho.
2nding this. All socialists countries went and still do go hard on dismantling the drug trade, not from the bottom up by criminalizing and imprisoning poor ppl, but from the top down by imprisoning the capitalist drug kingpins, and tearing down drug markets. Capitalist countries prop up the drug trade by using it to impoverish and decimate poor and minority communities, and take a cut of the proceeds.
Ppl are usually staunchly for legalization because they've only experienced how capitalist countries like the US use the drug war as a tool. They don't know what an earnest dismantling of the drug trade, done for the betterment of communities, looks like.
Weed specifically tho i'm ambivalent about... outside of medical use, the weed industry serves little to no societal value, but it's a pretty minor vice, maybe along the same level as unhealthy food.
Definitely. Trolls really do want to ruin our day more than anything. IMO the best way to flip it on them, is not by lowering our rhetoric down to their level, but to help enlighten everyone else on the sidelines, as you say. Their goal is to de-platform communists, and the best way to frustrate those attempts, is to show them that they don't have that power here, and are going to get even more spoonfuls of communist agitation the more they engage with us.

Act 3 : villain is blowing up the hospital.
While they can try our patience at times, we should remember that since our goal is to create more communists, we should try to be courteous and engage respectfully. If not for their sake, then for everyone else on the sidelines who, seeing communists as diligent fighters for the betterment of all mankind, will come away realizing the communists have their best interests at heart.
Our ideals when engaging with liberals should be to follow the example of Fidel, Newton, Robeson, Liu Shiaoqi, Lenin (on his good days lol) and nameless others who knew how to engage with liberals, educating whilst not talking down to them.
Sure we all fail at this because our patience has its limits, but 'dunk culture' and alienating everyone you come into contact with, is something edgelords, ultralefts, and clout chasers / careerists strive for; not communists, and it's not something to look up to.
I think Liu Shiaoqi, how to be a good communist, and fidel and newtons autobiographies really get this idea across well.
Edit, I agree with the two other posters here that recommended just reporting the trolls so admins can remove their comments. Nothing good comes from engaging with them in a negative way, but I also haven't seen that hardly at all here: most of us still rightly use their trolling as an opportunity to educate them and others.

Gonna be really funny watching the china bad foss communities start hating on RISC-V now.
Tankie just means "any communist I don't like" at this point. Take your McCarthyism and complete ignorance about color revolutions elsewhere.
I wish these white supremacist liberals would just be honest about who they don't like.
