Every good that is produced has to be immediately consumed. There is no way to stockpile goods. I believe this is the primary issue that mostly causes the other problems.

If you consume more goods than you produce, the price of the good goes up. On the contrary if you produce more than you consume, the price goes down. That's it.

If for example you produce 100 fabric in cotton plantations and then consume 180 to make clothes in a factory, the only drawback is reduced profits due to high fabric price. 80 units of fabric missing won't harm the production of clothes in the factory whatsoever.

Railways chug engines (apparently the trains have to be replaced with new ones every week).

(note: IG = interest group)

The personal ideology of IG leaders dictate what laws the entire IG supports. If for example a reactionary ass IG gets a progressive leader then the whole IG suddenly becomes progressive.

The Armed forces IG gets its political strength from wealth and votes just like anyone else, even though they should probably have more due to controlling the unliving machines.

Thanks for reading my ramble. Does anyone else get annoyed by these type of things?

I like helping people, and I think that due to my circumstances I would be able to understand more and be more empathetic towards the people I help once I (hopefully) complete my studies.

I hope working as a social integrator will make me feel fulfilled. Wish me luck.

Someone correctly pointing out that calling people fat is bad is downvoted, and someone called "literally_himmler1" replying with a nerd emoji is upvoted.

I am going to commit sudoku.

I'm in the PCPE, and they seem to focus a lot on educating and radicalizing people.

That is important of course, but I thought that organizing material support for people that needs it would not only actually improve the lives of people but also show the general population that "the commies" aren't some bloodthirsty monsters but instead actual people that want a better world.

What do you think? I think it's a good idea.

I'm liking it a lot, it's very barebones which is something I was looking for, and the package manager's command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well. This might be my new daily driver now.

Only issue is that since it's not as popular as other distros finding information specific to Void Linux might be inconvenient.

Did any of you look into Void Linux? Do you like it?

So I've been thinking for a while about this subject, and I finally decided to make a post about this some time after I saw a YouTuber say what I put on the title of this post.

Thing is, I've noticed that very often young people and especially kids are treated as lesser beings, like if they were not humans beings with problems and lives of their own but just an annoyance that people have to keep up with.

I remember when I was a kid and I wanted to cross a zebra crossing cars would just pass by without stopping more often than not. Now that I'm an adult they stop pretty much every time. I suspect it was because they didn't want to stop for someone they consider to be lesser than them.

Also, a lot of people seem to think that being a kid means that you just play videogames or whatever all day, but don't these people remember when they were kids? I sure do. Going to school has been the worst thing I've ever had to endure. The only difference with having a job is that you don't get paid.

A group of people approached the fountain to get water and the pigeon did not seem scared at all. I think I remember them closing their eyes for long periods of time, I assume as a sign of relaxation caused by the relatively cool water during the heat wave in Spain.

I wish this pigeon luck and happiness.

Everything just feels way more complicated than it needs to be.

I tried installing Openshot (a video editor) but I couldn't figure out how to fix the error it spits out when I try to emerge it.

I will now try out Arch and hope I don't need a master's degree to install packages.

Edit: Gentoo isn't the first distro I've tried, I've been daily driving Debian for more than a year and just wanted to try it out since I heard good things about it. And also I didn't really need to use Openshot, I just wanted some video editor and arbitrarily chose to install that one.

Also I guess I will just stick with Debian since apparently Arch is also complicated.

I think it could be very convenient. I can make the post if you want, just comment here what you think the post should have and I'll try to put something together.

Edit: It seems that @polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml is already working on one so this won't be necessary lmao

That noodle you see there is Yugoslavia.

I had given up when I saw that I was being pushed back on all fronts and I lost most of my factories... But when my borders went ^w I just... held.

And then time passed. My allies were supplying me with much needed weapons the whole time and later they ended up liberating my land.

The power of friendship, comrades.

I don't know if they got automatically sent to a spam filer or something and mods just removed them without thinking about it too much, but it is just very weird.

Really I don't know if the devs are communist or not, they give a lot of mixed signals.

It's from today's dev diary.

Jokes aside, it would be a huge problem if a revolt that enacted this thing destroyed every single building the revolt starts with...

I got the idea from the comments of this post.

There is probably some stuff that I overlooked, if that's the case any bug reports are appreciated.

I swear they put more effort in the anti-communist propaganda system than in the rest of the game combined.

Basically all it does is adjust the "Vanguardist" leader ideology (and Anarchism, base game has them liking professional army the most for some reason) and makes Command Economy enactable with just Council Republic (so without needing Autocracy / Oligarchy) to make the game experience a little bit less anti-communist.
