Your takes on healthcare are equivalent of people mad that Xi hasn’t pushed the communism button

Hi! Opinionated, Jewish nurse here with guess what? Some opinions.

I fucking hate how r*dditors write

Power dynamics.

Why the fuck is there a picture of non-vegan food in that thread?

I think the origin of effective altruism was more “it’s better to take a high-paying finance job and donate the excess money to charity than get a job at said charity” but I don’t think many of them are actually donating half their incomes every year.

If you answered 6 or 11 please report to the volcel vanguard for reeducation.

How’s Pathfinder? People seem to like it, but I’ve also heard it described as number-crunchy like 3.5e which I think would be a step in the wrong direction.

Halogens make like 5x as much heat for the same amount of light.

I don’t know how controversial it is but I said this a few days ago:

All guns should be ugly to discourage people from being weird about them.

No obviously the best bulb technology is a halogen that runs so hot you can’t touch it with your bare hands while installing it or the oils will make it overheat.

All guns should be ugly to discourage people from being weird about them.

EDIT: although tacticool freaks probably like the way this looks

Opened in 1990, the Metinvest coal mine is the biggest in Ukraine and one of the crusial factories for Pokrovsk, biggest employer and economic driver of the city and region. Up to 7000 people worked here before the war and around 4500 now. The mine producing the coke coal, specific coal essencial for steel production. If Russians will occupy or destroy the mine, it will create big problems for Ukrainian aconomy. To see how the mine works, we got up to the 800 meters deep tunnels and walked more then 4 km to the nearest coal-reach ground place,

How does this have so many obvious errors?

nope lol, was reading another hexbear thread

I definitely couldn’t do a neutral write up but I can drop a few points that I think are often overlooked. I’ve been on hexbear since before the vegan comm existed (on other accounts) so while I haven’t always been the most active, I’ve seen the whole history.

One key point is that hexbear vegans weren’t content before VCJ joined. We already had the sense that hexbear was anti-vegan but we were quieter about it. Example (EDIT: fixed link).

There was already a strong cultural overlap between c/vegan and r/vegancirclejerk before the lifeboating. For example, dog diet crossed over here, and was to my memory the precursor to the VCJ hostilities. (c/dogdiet comm request, negative reaction to dogdiet posting).

But I just noticed who I’m replying to so idk why I’m even bothering.

Years ago I was wandering a large used bookstore with a new friend who vaguely knew I was communist; she saw a copy of “Mein Kampf” and said “you like stuff like this”.

Personally I don’t really think so. A slave is property, can be bought and sold, doesn’t have the freedom to attempt to find work elsewhere.

However, he absolutely included things like oh, I don’t know…literal fucking slaves? as part of the proletariat.

Did he? Proletariat and slave are very different economic positions. They’re explicitly contrasted in The Principles of Communism section 7: “In what way do proletarians differ from slaves?”.

I don’t have a good citation at hand but Marx also distinguished between peasants and proletarians, the former being agrarian and the latter industrial workers.

That would make sense.

Supposedly people who got review keys were sent an email forbidding talking about a handful of topics during reviews, mostly reasonable political stuff but also “feminist propaganda” https://archive.ph/A1s65

At first I was kind of skeptical whether it was real but now I’d lean towards “yes”
