    I think I just walked like 10 kilometres just by walking in circles in my living room. Don’t do coffee, kids.

    To be honest, I would have preferred seeing more leftists take a neutral approach to the Russo-Ukrainian war than siding with Ukraine. ‘Both sides are wrong’ is still an oversimplification and not the best approach to take, but it’s at least easier to understand than siding with a pro-NATO dictatorship of the bourgeoisie that has been lousy with neofascists for at least a decade.

      Yeah, like i understand the optics about big country attacking small country that makes western leftists side with Ukraine, but i don’t understand how then they completely ignore the US role in this.

      It pretty much declares that western “leftists” are really “right-wing” in a global context and only “left-wing” in their local context, they only want to reap the benefits of western imperialism along with their capitalist overlords, they give no shit about the global class struggle. Yanis Varoufakis is the prime example of this.

    With the war in Ukraine tilting more and more in favour towards Russia, when do you guys think the war could be over assuming it continues at this pace?

      Impossible to say. Too many factors could still go a number of different ways. If i had to take a guess i would say it’s probably going to go on for at least another six months. And i wouldn’t be surprised if it goes on well into next year. But there are things that could happen which would shorten it considerably, such as an unexpected collapse on one of the fronts, a coup in Kiev, or the US cutting off all aid. Barring an event of that sort i don’t think Russia is in any hurry to end it, especially now that Ukraine has been evicted from Kursk. One thing i can tell you is that the Europeans are going to be wholly irrelevant to this process. They have no material capability to follow through on any of their rhetoric.

    I updated my ebook to Android 8.1 and the difference is stark. It’s been 2 days on and only consumed 5% of the battery. The process was kinda sus, but I was expecting for my first try to fail like it some people said online. The second try was successful however c:

    TIL Bobby Fischer, american chess grandmaster, was deeply into antisemitic conspiracies. He was subscribed to the judeobolshevik conspiracy, and st some point wrote “we should start randomly killing jews”. I wouldnt have known this if not by some random X comment.

    Is there any list about media figures that are antisemitic?

      That is true. Though the process was drawn out over centuries and was generally run as cheaply as possible.

      Why expend a fortune completely pacifying a country when you can put in settlers and let them steal and murder their way to supremacy.

    Europe already spends 2 to 3 times more on defence than Russia and has more manpower and vehicles but there is, apart from us, no party ever highlighting this.

    Went to a psychologist for a second opinion for starting my trans care last week. He approved it, so that’s nice but he also made me really self conscious about the way I talked. He noticed that I talk with a slightly crooked mouth. He asked why, and insinuated it’s medical. I said that’s it’s because of my autism and it only happens when I’m nervous. He also asked if I’m sure it’s not a by-effect of my DIY medication, to which I replied that I had it my whole life. He then shared a story of an older woman who had the same her whole life, and that she also said that it’s not medical, and that he made her question if it was medical.

    He was nice the whole interview and then he pulls this shit. Now I keep focussing on my mouth when I talk and I notice that I want to avoid conversations more often.

      Congratulations on getting approved!!! Very exciting, I hope it works out.

      Sounds quite annoying to have to answer a bunch of questions abouut something you don’t want to talk about.

      Lol that’s weird. It’s one thing to notice such a thing and he’s right when he might think it can be something medical but to insinuate it is is just weird. But then again doctors can be quite strange.
