It seems like my success has led to some controversy

I live in a sub-500k population city and that number would make folks here think you're joking for a small one room.

What the fuck how many roommates do you have, I live in a "cheaper" city and rent with three other roomates can be 700 a month still for leaky housing

Thanks comrade, I really appreciate it, I think it helps to be mindful and nuanced when experiencing real things that shittier people would just take as proof to be reactionary. But yeah, same progression with a lot of my friends to becoming like Finkelstein. It's hard to find any synagogues in my area that haven't put up those awful HOSTAGE posters.

No, I've experienced, especially early in the conflict, having Jewish friends and loved ones who'd waffle. They're not Zionists in an explicit way, but I think we can understand how much Zionism affects Jewish life for most Jewish folks, and also understand that doesn't mean they were necessarily implicit especially early in this modern stage of the conflict.

Edit: it still should be Zionist, but asking them to do better when sharing a pretty normal anecdote is a bit overboard perhaps

So, I assume this follows the perspective of the serial killer because how could a philosophical conversation between a serial killer and a professor be relayed to a detective character investigating after the fact; does this mean the author is just like "yeah the serial killer rules". I know that's obvious, but like, jesus christ. So it's just a book about how killing professors is cool then, I guess, no Turn-er about it.

Beautiful cover for a beautiful track

 

I found an old 3DS lying around and I've got HBShop and other stuff on it, but nothing's really grabbing me. I don't really know what games are fun on it though, do y'all know any DS/3DS games that were good???

 

I just started my bot @[email protected]; and it's begun subscribing to a ridiculous amount of communities. This is important because in order for a federated community to appear in the all page one member of the local instance must subscribe to that community. Some new communities I can already see are /c/UnixPorn and /c/SelfHost. Posts might take a while to populate, though, as these are new communities Hexbear hasn't yet seen

Thanks to @[email protected] for the advice in this thread.

Please note, hornyposters, that I've disabled subscribing to NSFW communities. volcel-kamala

Has anybody else read this book? I'm about halfway through and I feel like I've been learning a lot from this. While the book is endlessly critical of the former Soviet experiment and the modern PRC without cushioning it's critiques by acknowledging that much of their problematic climate elements are due to material conditions, I find many of their critiques and ideas refreshing.

I'm a little ambivalent on their information about Nuclear Power too, I personally had assumed that Nuclear tech was brought to an incredibly safe level.

But beyond that I think some of the central thesis of the book of treating nature as a "known unknown", and needing to harness the power of hopeful utopianism while making use of the best elements of scientific socialism, I think these are swell things to adopt. The book is, on the whole, a bit lib in the ways that utopian socialists are, but I do think at the end of the day it prescribes some necessary ideas that are seriously worth engaging with.

Has anyone else read this book and have any thoughts, or ways we can adapt this critique to the struggle of socialism?
