That’s the thing, I’m not even sure if it will be faster than if the Dems got in because they’re historically more prone to warmongering, thus getting the Empire into unwinnable military wars rather than economic ones.

Now I wonder if Trump will actually implement those 100% tariffs he threatened against dedollarizing countries.

I remember a trans comrade speaking on this phenomenon in 2018.

Communist parties do not have a perfect or perhaps even the best track record with regards to progressive issues. I don’t blame communism for this, just saying that it’s dangerous to assume we’re immune to adopting dangerous and foolish social beliefs.

I imagine it may depend on the area. China’s a big, varied, ever-changing place.

Would other higher-ups actually let him do something this foolish?

Please don’t wish that on a poor gorilla.

Even if we use the worst interpretation, companies were still making and distributing beastly and reliable chips 10 years ago. I should know, I’m using a 10 year old chip.

EDIT: Specifically, it’s the i7 4790k. 4.4 GHz, 4 cores, 8 threads, it may not be as good as chips nowadays but it’s never disappointed me in the long time I’ve had it.

The people I was arguing against were under no impression the democrats weren’t fucking awful and that the system wasn’t garbage. They just didn’t realize or believe just how awful the democrats are and presented them as a slightly better alternative to the Republicans when I couldn’t even agree to that. You’re right, I should’ve kept my mouth shut. I was just trying to do as Mao instructed. And I treasure my remaining friends more for it.

I dunno, I think having the US as an enemy would certainly make me hypervigilant.

It was an anarchist who leaked the US no-fly list. Aaron Bushnell was also an anarchist. I know another who exposes sexual predators. Some of them do more praxis than I’ll likely ever be capable of, I’ll give them that. Doesn’t mean they’re right.

My only constant is that I have a banana for breakfast to fuel my runs.

I know people with ASPD. They’re nothing like Nicholas Burns.

Using “insane” and “psychopath” in this context is ableist.

Sorry to disappoint. I’m just giving my thoughts.

It’s CSA.

Corporal punishment is CSA.

EDIT: I read corporal punishment and assumed spanking, my mistake. I stand by that point and say that the “punishments” described here are abuse as well. Preaching to the choir, I know.

Neither. All I meant was that the game had a lot of dialog. OP seemed to be wondering if that was the case.

We’re going to start saying “megameters” at this rate.

I’m an upvoter, but some of us may be fearful of you going into a potentially dangerous field and/or reproducing patriarchal ideas in your potential customers as well as reproducing the notion that becoming a cam girl is a fun idea in this patriarchal climate. In all the feminist literature I’ve read, though, shaming, gaslighting or traumatizing individual practitioners of sex-work or adjacent work was never presented as a good or feasible idea, and I assume you’re aware of the risks and are doing it despite not having a need for money, so I support you here.

Our conditions aren’t conducive to maintaining a proper state of mind. After having been put through the barbaric, traumatic education typical to the west, I can understand why people foster a belief that education is bad by default. Like those put through conversion therapy who develop a disdain for psychologists. Or those wronged by their government who become anarchists. All three have applied to me in the past. When one is a victim of poor education and trauma, getting them to see the truth can become an extremely delicate act.
