My first thought was about potentially protecting encryption, with all the privacy-invading laws that are popping up here in the US and abroad, but after skimming through the bill it seems like they could still use the “but criminals use encryption” line

Acts 4:32-35 makes it pretty clear that one of the most Christlike things early believers were doing was pretty communal, even if they didn’t have any Marx to read yet

We also have legs, so I want to see their take on trains and how powering them with human-sized hamster wheels is better for “safety” and “efficiency”

Cargo planes in their world should be really interesting

It’s honestly one of the funniest threads I’ve read in a while.

Did you get to this part?

Rowing (or even getting out to swim and pull) is safer if you have enough people, because we can’t safely make and power engines.

Like they’re gonna have a fleet of oceangoing cargo ships, each towed by a massive team of willing humans, all while escaping the dastardly pirates and their motorboats.

It’s like Mad Max and Waterworld had a beautiful, insane baby

Not with a bang, but a womp womp

I’ve heard about half of these, so I’m going to need to listen to the other half. Cheap Perfume’s is one of my favorites, and they have a shirt of Richard Spencer getting punched in the face reminding us just how okay that is

I’ll give that a watch, thanks.

I took issue in the first place because you seemed to imply that what Russia is doing in Ukraine is okay because it’s specifically annexation, and not some other flavor of invading and taking over someone’s country, and I’m opposed to that regardless of what one calls it.

Buddy, I’m not going to defend the actions of Western powers during the build up to World War II. I agree with you that an antifascist alliance should have been formed and could have stopped Hitler much sooner and with much less death.

I do find it interesting that the article you provided makes no mention of Soviet annexation (Imperialism? Colonization? Liberation? Let me know which hyperspecific term for invading another country I should use) of the pre-Brest-Litovsk territory they lost.

Yep, that’s why Hitler is regarded as the ultimate evil, the settler colonialism.

The Anschluss and the annexation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia were both justified under the guise of protecting and uniting ethnic Germans in the regions, Hitler even said he’d totally, for realsies stop after that. But I wouldn’t expect .ml’ers to care about anything that happened before the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact broke down.

Good thing Hitler just wanted to annex the Sudetenland and not colonize it, he would have been a pretty bad guy otherwise

Fine, New Jersey is taking its Unix and going home then

TIL natural latex exists, until now I just assumed it was all synthetic. Also, apparently opium is technically latex?

Nestlé: I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life.

More proof that Ed and Cat are the superior text editors

“Nah bro, we just need to let the fascists exterminate one more vulnerable group and the workers will rise up and form my version of a leftist utopia, just one more group, I promise, you just gotta read more theory if you don’t believe me”

I’ve blocked more people on here for their accelerationist bullshit than for anything else. At least the fascists will tell me to my face that they want to see me dead.

Genuine question, do other countries refer to their current government as “this administration” or “the [leader] administration”?

In my exposure to non-US political discussions, there seems to be more reference to the majority parties or coalitions, where that’s more important to politics than it is in the US with our far-too-powerful executive branch

I finally started making plans for my little patio garden this week, so this is perfect! Thank you!

This is me with Taco Bell’s shredded lettuce. If I get a burrito, I’ll know there’s a piece of lettuce in it two or three bites before I get to it.

Like I love lettuce, spinach, kale, all those leafy greens. But I swear they spray it with artificial lettuce flavoring or something.

Ah, yes, the Engelbert Humperdinck field

You know you’re a real forklift driver when you don’t even have to open the link to know what it is
