And now I have a picture of a sweaty “I use Arch” user yelling this at a fire about to consume them.

Must not be something the app I use is capable of showing. Thanks. Didn’t know they had that.

Fair enough. Wish we’d get a reason something was removed though.

I’m literally worried about buying a new car. It was bad enough when I did in 2019 getting a car with actual buttons and still half the basic features I have to tap a screen for. It’s never, never felt comfortable like my old Mazda3 2012 or Honda Civic 2003 did. I just want fucking buttons and knobs man. I also hate all of the “safety features”. Which are just essentially “feel safer while using your phone and driving” features that all the idiots on the road use them as. Everyone can see your lane assist correcting you every 5 seconds Debra! You’re gonna kill someone.

Boo mods

Good idea. I should get a Luigi shirt and I’ll get dual fandoms.

I live near Seattle. We don’t get snow much. But when we do people avoid driving in it because they lack experience and a lot of roads just don’t get cleared.

So, those couple days are like a car free paradise. It’s so quiet. I can walk around with my kid and not worry about cars. Seriously, hang out with a two year old for a day and you’ll realize how much of our world is literally just a death trap. When it snows and no one is driving it’s just so peaceful.

I’m that guy that always forgets what shirt I’m wearing when someone says “nice shirt”. Gotta look down at my chest. I do like how universal this types of quick interactions are with strangers. Something wholesome about it.

I think we can drop the “wannabe” at this point

History has a way of dealing with fascist.

It’s Monday until it’s their last Monday.

If you are just referring to the concentration of capital then yes. That will continue.

The right wing movements of all western countries are not really movements of that country. They are movements that are subservient to capital. The ultimate servants of capital will always serve the interest of the United States.

When European social democracys fall apart and cut back on every “right” the working class enjoys. You can come back here and ask me how I saw it coming and warned you.

How to blow up a data center

Yep. No notes.

Good luck mate. I wish you were right. I really do.

The curse of being a Marxist is that I’m right; but too early. You can save this comment if you want. We can reflect on it in a year or two when your leaders have failed miserably to put up any defense against the American empire.

The American empire is dying. You are right. But if you think it dies without taking every western country with it; well, you don’t understand how the last 30 years have worked. Or history in general. You aren’t living outside of history, you can’t run from what happens when an angry empire lashes out. I’d be preparing and not ignorantly thinking you will weather the storm without any preparation.

I’m sorry. But you are incredibly ignorant of how the world works and have far too much faith in your social democratic policies that will be the first to be cut as the world changes. You’ll see in another year or two. You should be organizing resistance to this change. Not blindly trusting your superior system.

Good luck mate. Maybe you’ll remember this a year from now as you start to notice the decline.

Western media headline:

China’s economic growth slows by 50%!

Just a normal result of development. Going from 10% to 5% in a growing economic system like China is entirely normal and expected. But it is refreshing to not see a click bait headline for these numbers for once.

Edit: for those wondering. Imagine a country with no electrical grid produces a major grid in a year. This would undoubtedly increase economic growth substantially in that year. So the next year would look to be significantly worse by comparison in terms of the rate of growth. That is essentially what I’m talking about.

You should always be skeptical of headlines that refer to the rate of change in something. It would be like looking at a high speed train and saying “the rate of speed has not increased in the last 30 minutes!” all while traveling at a constant speed of 300 kmph that entire time.

Get that Nazi shit out of your brain. We all have reactionary ideas like this imbedded in us from growing up in western society. So, please, I beg you, purge that “it’s in their genes (blood)” and “iq” shit from your brain. It’s just a modern version of “blood and soil” even if you didn’t mean it that way.

My friend, if you trust your neoliberal politicians to not bend the knee to Trump and their own capitalist class; you’ll soon be enjoying our lack of healthcare.

Please, this is not a “anti European” position. Don’t confuse it for such. This is an American warning you. Unless you personally are willing to go die for Greenland, don’t expect others to. If you are, more power to you, but you’d be sitting in an insignificant minority of Europeans.
