I hate how they feel so untouchable and act with complete disregard for any kind of humanity. And I hate even more how the “civilized world” continues to prove them right

Did he feel a stronger sense of connection to his immediate community and nation as whole in Soviet times? I mean that a bit more broadly than actual personal relationships as those tend to ebb and flow as you age, just curious if there was any real “camaraderie” between relative strangers

I’m looking for some good history podcasts that don’t just regurgitate NATOpedia talking points, any suggestions? Lions led by donkeys, Revolutions, and Blowback are some bangers I quite enjoy but I always need more sloppa

Yes, the burger is the exquisite crown jewel, holy manna sent from god as a symbol of the achievements of white “civilization”. Truly makes all the hundreds of years of genocide and unspeakable atrocities worth it.

But seriously how can you try to gatekeep a fucking burger when it’s one of the most ubiquitous types of slop readily available all around the world?

Was briefly on YouTube while here in Prague and all of the recommended videos were some variation of “China bad” with the obligatory grumpy white guy in the thumbnail. A fun bonus was one titled “the satisfying downfall of just stop oil” with a clearly ai generated picture of the “tumblr hair woman” stereotype the right is still fixated on. Just makes me so depressed to see that the brainrot transcends all borders and is pushed to the top of the algorithm everywhere

Don’t let the intellectual masturbation goblin get in your head too much, comments like this are why I love it here

Huh I’m going to Vatican City on Saturday, have a chance to do something incredibly funny

Happy May Day to all! There was an awesome march here in Vienna with hundreds of people flying the hammer and sickle, banners of famous communist leaders, Palestine flags, and all sorts of lovely LBGT+ flags

Can’t fully make it out but does the billboard say 사회주의만세? Pretty fucking based tbqh

Japan is still Wakanda for white people but I think the sustained ridicule of weebs over the past decade or two has contributed to a sharp decline in Ken-Sama types. That and the huge boost in tourism in the past few years have made it much less of a mysterious, “exotic” place, a lot more people have firsthand experience that it’s a normal country with normal people like any other.

Three of my buddies there are saying it’s a complete nothing burger as far as affecting everyday life, “martial law” here does not mean the military shutting anything down. Just some internal power struggles that somehow scapegoat the DPRK?

I’ve met some really good people through dating apps but it really is a numbers game. I’d say that on average out of 100 matches I only have 4-5 conversations that last longer than a few days before one of loses interest and stops replying. It can be pretty disheartening to churn through so many people but from my experience it pays to be picky. I’ve only ever been on 5 dates through dating apps but they all turned into relationships because I didn’t waste my time with anyone I didn’t feel a mutual connection with.

Stick with it and eventually you’ll find someone, just gotta be patient. Also it depends on where you are but I’ve found bumble to be the best as the girls on there are usually much more serious

going back to clear some starter quests after you hit endgame and get bored

wearing a mask because you care about the health and well being of others

wearing a mask because of social anxiety and neurotic self esteem issues

You’d think more “leftists” would at least do it for the latter reason, I love not showing my face in public

Huh I never personally felt that wearing a mask was traumatizing, my mom dying directly as a result of people just deciding covid was over and not masking anymore certainly was though. My brother helplessly watching dozens of people die in front of him as a healthcare worker probably was more traumatic than wearing a mask but idk maybe we’re just too inconsiderate of the poor folks that had to suffer the inconvenience of wearing them

Biden in the conservatory with the lead pipe but instead of Mr Boddy it’s the social murder of thousands

I tried doing that and the fuckers sent my account to a collections agency that hounded me nonstop for months and damaged my credit score. All over like $40 they refused to drop because my written cancellation was submitted by my ex to cancel both of our memberships rather than me personally submitting it

Please hug me! Someone, anyone

Bro your sign value? Baudrillard can be incoherent rambling to a degree but his early stuff at least is pretty on point at analyzing some whacky phenomena that arose well after Marx

Bro fell for the powerlifting meme 💀
