Those aren’t snakes, they’re rubber bands.

While this may work short-term, eventually you’ll end up with a bunch of quickersilver, which is much harder to convert. While it’s a bit more work, I find the conversion from mercury to improvised cudgel is an easier transformation so long as you perform it in locations already high in gold content. Do note that this is a potentially volatile and dangerous reaction.

Taking actions that benefit the proletariat.

I was thinking “have you given the US flag the finger yet” but after seeing our comrades comments, I was mistaken. Maybe I’ll do both.

Ah yes, I have had some good German mustards! I forgot about that.

A fair point.

I have yet to find German food that fits my tastes, but I guess I’ll give it another shot. Gotta say Thai, Indian, and Mexican are probably my favorites. And sushi. I could eat only sushi for the rest of my life and be happy with it.

Mostly in the recommended reading order, but he listed some notes on their importance or when they can be skipped, etc. with many of the sources, particularly at the start of the list.

This should take you up through where you were at State and Revolution and where to go next. I have to say that the recommendation others have given for Black Shirts and Reds is also a very good place to start for the reasons they gave.

Almost all of these can be found on the internet archive, Anna’s Archive, or you can ask around on lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml for free digital copies. While some people prefer physical books, there shouldn’t be any need to pay for these unless you want to.

Which books…would you recommend?

@Dessalines@lemmy.ml put together a good reading list that includes the reading order.

“People”

Care to share what you meant by this?

Unless they’re your manager. Then they stay forever or get promoted.

I’m curious what you mean by a nasal spray.

Do you carry around a saline spray or similar and use it regularly to help mucus clearance from your nose to prevent infection? I’ve never heard of people using a nasal spray as a precaution against infection.

Just looked again and some of them were removed. The r-slur comment is still there, but there was also at least one n-slur and possibly some other chud comments.

Holy shit, those comments. That X let’s people get away with these kinds of comments ridiculous.

“Omg, this homeless problem is out of control! What are we going to do about the homeless question?”

“Make it illegal to be homeless. Problem solved.”

Fucking liberals.

I’ve been struggling to make sense of it. The white queen is the Roman goddess Fotruna and the only depictions of her with a bared breast I’ve found are modern art. Usually a bared breast is either meant to represent nurturing/charity or an indication of sexual violence.

Sure, it could mean be a symbol of her being nurturing, but in the context of this set, I wonder if it is a reference to Nazi depictions of ancient mythology such as the Night of the Amazons where they used a warped image of the mythology to display women naked amidst their “master race” propaganda. Fortuna was also popular in Germany at the time given Carmina Burana was written in the 1930s.

Ultimately I came to the same conclusion about decadence as you, but I’m not sure if there is anything more to the symbolism than that.

Found an auction site that lets you zoom in on these in high resolution. Check out the details!

ATORITARIANERISMMMMMM!

There’s nothing wrong with taking your PTO to just stay home, but it really sucks when that’s your only option because even a relatively local vacation is too expensive.

Sometimes I think that’s why I don’t use as much PTO I should. What’s the point, is it to just drive home the fact that my life sucks and I can’t afford anything despite spending little on things that I want? I know the point, it’s just a rhetorical question and I’m salty that I can have a well established career, deep technical knowledge, and a wealth of other experience and still struggle to make ends meet. My rent is over 40% of my income and I’m lucky compared to others!

Fuck do I hate the US. The purpose of my life is not to produce profits! Why must so much of my life wasted on bullshit?

15-18 yos? The oldest of Gen Z are about to turn 30. Not saying they’re justified, just that Gen Z isn’t just 15.
