good luck, I also have a strange affection for that movie

Cats pretend aggression when playing with each other

Ken Lacorte

The former…Fox News executive? Who killed the Trump-Stormy story before the 2016 election… uhhh… yeah im not fucking trusting that dude.

I think its because both need to house a large amount of individuals in as small a space as acceptable to the outside society. But also, both are ultimately mechanisms of authority that shirk their supposed goals of education on the one hand and restitution/rehabilitation on the other.

Related, perhaps unpopular opinion: It’s outright silly how we expect a good learning environment to come out of putting all of our socially unformed minds into one big facility, with little behavioral supervision (10-to-1, 15-to-1, or worse), and compel them to move from location to location by a bell, and to perform rote memorization in order to meet some metric of success. It’s sillier how we expect children to come out of this environment socially well-adjusted, having learned something of value, without psychological trauma, besides the experience of navigating a system of hierarchical authority. You know the wisdom passed down by my liberal (using liberal here in a very strict sense – NOT necessarily left leaning) Catholic father, who ostensibly would defend the value of educating the public (though, perhaps not the value of public education)?

“Find out what the teacher wants and give it to them.”

Gamers have good reason to love Valve for Steam alone – not even accounting for their amazing games. They really do have the best gamer-oriented platform, and seemingly they care about gamers. I think they’ve done a lot to advance gaming on linux as well which is much appreciated.

But, at least the way I see it, they still extract rents from game devs to an almost feudal degree.

“Sure – come sell your grain game – but you’ll have to give me a third of your profit because I own the town square platform/servers.”

Side note: It’s pretty funny that for a while Valve had Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis on staff to analyze spontaneously emerging markets for digital items on Steam – and he went on to write about the phenomenon above in his recent book Technofeudalism.

Yeah that’s why I’m skeptical of this guy actually being a Nazi lol

But then again the dude literally had a Nazi tattoo so that’s why this whole situation is so weird.

I guess I can personally see it being ignorance because I didn’t learn about 88 until the last couple years.

He got it in Croatia btw. To me, it’s plausible he didn’t know. He seems to have gotten progressively more disillusioned by his time in the military. Comments from 2018 like

If people “expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle, they ought to do some reading of history,” he wrote in one since-deleted post. In another, he said that “an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice.”

don’t scream secret nazi to me. People comparing him to Fetterman is kinda silly to me considering Platner has called what’s going on in Gaza a genocide while Fetterman is a still supporter of Israel.

There’s a source out there, I guess, that claims they talked to Platner and he explicitly referred to his tattoo as “my totenkopf” but its an anonymous source who spoke to zionist publication Jewish Insider, so idk. Seems hit job-y to me.

Then again what the fuck do I know. The water is pretty muddy and its a terrible look regardless.

My socialism-hating uncle works at a “defense” company whose largest customer is…the United States. Isn’t that fuckin funny.

I use navidrome to stream music from my desktop. Symphonium is my android client. It costs like 2 bucks but it’s real good. Lots of different UI options.

I haven’t done it myself since Im the only one using it…but I think in order to have somewhere your family can login and download music … That is a separate application from navidrome. Lidarr, Jackett, and somehow connect to qbittorent…I haven’t done it yet but I think that’s probably the route id go

Cool cool, yeah i was reading on the wikipedia that he fought in the war. Will probably pick that up next. Thanks!

I gotcha. I believe it. Have any book recs on the topic? Think this’ll probably be the my next lil history read after I’m done 100 Years War on Palestine

edit: topic being spanish civil war period

Thanks, I’ll read up on it.

But from what I’ve read so far, the violence wasn’t exclusively from anarchist groups and more of mass violence from all leftist groups during that time towards clerics and rightists?

Also who are these anarchists cleansing dissidents?

Thank you, Bo Burnham, for exposing me to the idea that

🎶Private property’s inherently theft, and neoliberal fascists are destroying the leeeeeft🎶

I figured “frame” refers to glasses, but looks like people are thinking it’s a box of some sort.

Edit: oop I see you already mentioned that in the post body

Me too! I prune my yard of invasives and let the natives grow, cataloging with iNaturalist as I see new species. My yard was a dirt slope last summer, this summer it is full of a wonderful variety of plants! My crotchety gardener mother and aunt keep trying to offer me non-natives to transplant – I tell them I’ve got plants growing already but thank you – they say, “yeah, weeds.”

Funnily enough, my yard with milkweed, primrose, violets, tickseed flowers, black-eyed susans, a walnut sapling, pepperweed, and st johns wort (not actually native here but not as invasive as some other plants) looks better than theirs and probably requires way less maintenance.

good post, sounds like a copypasta

Idk about curated playlists but I use soulseek to share files with my friends.

I like the same genres, I can recommend you some albums I’ve been liking if you want
