I know an informatics guy‌, and he says thinkpads are good. He gets them from the electronics trash at work.

Also there is an entire closed off ecosystem of “experts” and talking heads cultivated over decades in universities. All ideologically committed to capitalism. The ones who are not committed just don’t get invited for anything.

Not that Tehran ever has good air on a normal day, but this will surely not help.

At least it grows natively around here, so it just spreads very quickly, not invasively.

Mullvad, which is as far I know the VPN gold standard, costs 5€ per month, always. (no deals/reductions, which I think is consequent and fair). So 60 per year. Which is the only point of comparison I have. I deeply don’t understand why you would pay 10 a month for a VPN, that’s also a publicly traded company. Seems subideal.

Also, a fascinatingly mechanistic understanding of how marriage, or love, works.

God forbid women do anything.

Those dog must be so badly socialised. Jesus Christ, those poor animals. No wonder they run away and get lost all the time. I would run away as well.

People are influenced by their material circumstances. People don’t walk, cause US society isn’t built for that.

How do you deal with seasonal fruits and veggies? Freeze everything that doesn’t last? I would hate the logistics of that, cause I often get ideas for meals while looking at whats cheap and good at the moment.

I love FTL. This is great news. Gotta play the Multiverse mod again

People forget how close a war in Iran looked in 2019. The death of Soleimani, the constant rethoric. Covid really just cooled the whole thing down for a few years.

How would the US manage a war with Iran economically? I do think a war with Iran is likely, and that Trump at least really wants one. But can they sustain a war, when in deep economic troubles, and basically cut off from chinese production( for strategic ressources like tungsten for example). So my question is, can the US keep it’s extremly inefficent war machine running, when in an economic crisis?

The grey brown modern military shooter slop published during like the early 2010s. God that was some fascistic garbage.

Prediction: Police will be deployed and people will be getting shot.

Aren’t those peasantsnor agricultural workers then? In english at least

Fuck doctors. Medicine, as it exists now, is there to create and maintain a “clean” society, not to help people. But to cure society of undesirables. With wast powers over their patients. This is stuff anyone who is in anyway disabled or dependent on modern medicine will tell you. It’s not just the insurers and drug manufacturers, it’s all the way down to how medicine is taught as well as researched and how doctors are taught to behave around and treat patients. Like, Fuck Doctors. It is a fascist profession.

I grew up in a place where my room just didn’t have walls, or a door. Just a staircase going up to my “room”, and a wooden rail into the rest of the building. Had three other walls at least. My moms befroom also didn’t have walls though. Was just the curcumstances of the physical space we were living in. Not parental cruelty.

We also have the fun, classic part of winter, where only two rooms(kitchen, Living room) are heated(with an early 20th century wooden stove) and we are all sitting on top of each other for months. Though we children slept with our parents in a bed till we were 10 anyway. So, like, a private bed was already a luxury, in context.

The US really is doing shock doctrine to itself.

So lile the US civil administration will be done like the military industrial complex?
