fwiw PSL and Green have shown up to some of the the same protests this year

Hell yeah comrade, same here

The struggle is super relatable. I've taken to letting my lib friends share complaints with us then when voting comes up mentioning PSL and Green parties. They don't live in a swing state but still are visibly shocked by the suggestion.

Wth, that's obnoxious. They don't even need a printer, a stamp or something should be fine

All the venues around here that I go to (nothing large, I'm pretty cheap) let you buy at the door. Obv depends on the show, but plenty of shows don't sell out, so you can save yourself the fee by buying the ticket there

It was pretty jarring not having that voice after the update. I think there's a mod to patch it back in though

One Palestinian state is the only solution.

How is a 2 state plan any different that the appeasement policy Eurpoean countries had for dealing with nazis? Even American schools talk about how bad an idea that was.

Weird. Was there a source claiming there was one?

I think they're more regulated there, like the only flavor is tobacco, their use is prohibited in certain places, etc

Kinda curious how they picked these. Not that any of these are great, but most pg-13 horror movies are so forgettable it seems the author just overlooked them.

The site literally made a subreddit years ago for bots trained on specific subreddits to interact with each other. Waaay before ChatGPT, the tech to do something like this is not new lol.

That's cool to see. Please be conscious of your infosec, but have you worked with them? I'd be interested in learning more. Feel free to DM me if you'd feel more comfortable replying that way.

I tried to contact them a while back but it never went any where.

What's the deal with Stein? I periodically see that she sucks or is a grifter, but usually it's a dem who is pissed she might "split the vote."

From what I've seen of her platform she actually has many concrete, progressive goals with pretty specific carve outs for of various largely overlooked groups of people. It's not like she's explicitly for landback or dissolving Israel and the US, but definitely leagues better (on paper) than the dems.

All that being said, I'm voting for Claudia and Karina for an explicitly socialist platform. Ngl though, I wish the PSL vote socialist website had a long list of concrete points like the Stein website does.

An American who spent time stationed in Kenya (they never could tell me why we have a base there, go figure) told me about a group of navy seals that decided to try to put a t-shirt on a baboon once. Apparently they all ended up in the infirmary.

America isn't sending the brightest.

Pretty sure I stopped playing after an early boss fight.

The good stuff:

• struggling to carry too much stuff
• dropping too much stuff
• throwing containers at people
• building stuff with players you don't have to interact with
• peeing to grow mushrooms

The bad stuff:

• story was eh
• npcs
• sudden boss fight after 10+ hours of not using any combat related controls

Enjoyed my time with it overall though. Keep meaning to come back to it and never do for whatever reason.

I also never got around to MGS 5 even though I really liked all the other metal gear games I've played, something about a more open world is vaguely intimidating I guess.

With the right button, you've got MLK and Mother Theresa taking turns to punch it.

Well yeah, "the right button" could be anything. The button could have been "push this and Jewish Israeli people can live anywhere on earth safely and perpetually at peace with their neighbors." It doesn't even have to be anything about Israelis, religion, the region, it's a fucking hypothetical.

Instead, the button is "kill millions of people that inconvenience me". It doesn't resolve anything for the country - they're still at odds with a large number of neighboring countries. It doesn't completely remove their inconvenience - settlers would still need to settle the stolen and destroyed land (even if the button just evaporated humans, Gaza is effectively uninhabitable).

They just want to talk about killing an entire people on their, apparently, large platform.

Well, with any luck they'll be stuck somewhere in England with all the Amerikkkans because both shitty societies collapse at once.

Watched that b/c it was posted here last week. Incredibly disappointed they stopped making that series, it was really getting good.

Would that even work? Intuitively (I dont remember anything about chem) I would guess that you could take a portion of a tums to get the same effect as alkaline water, but wouldn't be able to achieve the opposite. If you drank an enormous amount of alkaline water such that your stomach acid volume is negligible then the ph of the solution would just be the alkaline water ph, right?

I'm a habitual lurker on forums, but the few times I've posted/commented here have 100% been better experiences than any other site I've used. It's nice to use a site that doesn't make me feel disconnected from reality for seeing the obvious and daily indignations millions-to-billions are forced to live through just because the currently dominant economic model insists this is justthewayitis. Its really validating knowing i can trust my own eyes. The only other place I've been that is similar is irl organizing, which I've not been able to do for some time now unfortunately (and, long story short, had locally become dominated with very electoral and liberal ideas, which was incredibly disheartening).

It's great browsing a site that can both validate these frequent observations of systemic failure while continuing to challenge my own worldview. Before browsing here and lemmygrad I had felt like an "internationalist," but in the last few years here I've started realizing how big the imperial core blinders really are. I don't necessarily know what to do with that yet, but it's something I'm working on and probably ought to just discuss on here at some point.

Plus, I always appreciate the way federated users are treated when they cruise by to spout bs imperial core takes (usually dressed up as if they're subversive in some way lmao).

I'm trying to post and comment more because yall seem pretty cool, I just usually don't have much to add.
