My stats professor is a stupid old bastard. 汉奸先生自汉奸国
I can’t believe im taking out student loans to get demeaned by this guy twice a week. He’s so lucky I can’t drop him now
Apologies for bad Chinese, am still learning
Translation?
I’m a traitor to America, youre a traitor to China, we are not the same
For a sec I was worried you were calling me out. And then I remembered what this comment was about 😅
I made a joke in the work group chat about wanting to punch out the teeth of our prime minister thinking it was the cool colleagues group chat but it was the general group chat lmao
Tying to push the bounds of acceptable discourse? or trying to get fired in your last days of work?
Louis Theroux’s new docu about the manosphere is gold. Just by doing nothing and making these chuds talk, he gets them so uncomfortable lmao.
On a serious note: these knobheads are beyond redemption and should face the wall. But in the docu you see the boys they influence and you can clearly see them being able to piece together that this system is fucked and not working for them, only to be hijacked by these manosphere losers. It is a hard reality of a lack of a strong left wing movement and I feel like we can learn from it.
Link?
I watched it on Netflix so I have no good piracy links or something like that
What’s the name of the doc?
Coasting through work on the bare minimal effort required to do so as I can’t be arsed to have even one cortisol spike during my last weeks. It feels good to be able to speak freely because what are they going to do? Fire me? Lol.
I wish you all a great week comrades!
Recently managed to introduce my queer-plat partner so theory! It was a great experience ^^
Keep your heads up high, don’t let despair take you. Communism will win

Update on the r/TankieTheDeprogram drama: The ACP mods have been kicked out! Their offensive didn’t even last 24 hours against the Tankies. We are yet to hear from the head mod u/Alexitine about this failed infiltration attempt.
I barely interacted with the reddit, did something happen? All I know is 2 people were made mods as soon as they joined in
A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.
Holy terminally online ACP
Mashallah, the situations seems ok now. The traitor being the founder is a bad hit tho
It seems Alexitine has been inactive on reddit for the last 8 months. There is high chance of his account being compromised by a third party.
again, not like i have a horse in the game but can someone in usa just tell me out of sheer interest what it’s like organizing? CPUSA, PSL, otherwise. i’m also interested if anyone knows anyone in WWP?
I have some experience with PSL, but it really depends on the place in the US. Mostly its mobilizing for protests, getting people into unions and doing smaller awareness raising events / campaigns.
Not a full member of an org yet (working on it), but from what I’ve heard from organizers it’s a lot like herding cats. It varies from org to org, but a lot of the time it’s trying to convince people to not just stay at home for a weekend and instead get out, regularly.
also finding out ACP was founded 2024. this is just an influencer project innit

not to be like Dont organize w psl (also why would u listen to me about that) but is it true that they still maintain china is revisionist/capitalist? prolewiki says this view was reaffirmed in 2023 (among other information about PSL failures on ground with things like sexual abuses :/ )
Removed by mod
I haven’t seen the PSL form a coalition with Democrats. Do you have references?
Removed by mod
that is not correct. PSL maintains that China is socialist. I think the prolewiki article is a bit of a misrepresentation
that’s good!
ACP? Deprogram? What? Eh, fuck it, that subreddit was annoying anyway I’m just gonna get off of reddit
Removed by mod
True, but we still need to use bourgeois platforms for matters of agitation and propaganda. We need to get people there away from it, otherwise the platform will just become a right wing echo chamber.
Every once in a while, I have the thought of starting a substack. But I don’t know what I would put on it with any kind of consistency. My tendency in the past with blog-like things has been to make one, maybe publish one post, and then promptly forget about it.
Part of what holds me back these days is I don’t want to be a position where I feel like I’m forcing analysis that I can’t actually back up well. And part of it’s my longstanding tension between tendencies toward crafts that relate to having an audience and the immediate urge to pull back when I am actually seen. So I guess posting the occasional thread on the grad when I have the itch is a satisfying enough between place for now, since it’s more casual but I’m also not screaming into the void.
i once made a WordPress site with a domain and everything, wrote one post and spammed the link all over the place, got some views from us Navy addresses and then just let the whole thing die
Missed opportunity to do a second post and title it “Everything Wrong with the US Navy”. :P
just start writing. it’s still great to put thoughts into words. later you can analyze and reflect.
I don’t use ai a lot, for basically anything, but honestly it’s a really great search tool. All the search engines nowadays are either filled with ads or kinds just suck, so being able to go to deepseek and be like “hey there was this game that had xyz what was that?” And get an answer is really nice.
Still doesn’t work all the time, had to ask around the internet to find Empire of the Fading Suns, but it’s still helpful
AI destroyed SEO so google is practically useless so now we go use AI to search for stuff.
Good thing anarchic-primitivists aren’t on the internet or they’d rub this shit in our faces.
Google also purposely enshittifies its products too so hopefully they end up eating it someday
I have had the opposite experience. Google’s shit ai fails to grab the basic queries i’m looking for. The only thing the AI has been successful at is finding very specific troubleshooting guides for very specific computer problems related to modding. That’s the one good use it has had for me so far.
Otherwise, I don’t have any uses for it. When I did more photo-editing; it was very good at cleaning up blending and lines on images I would make.
Yeah. It’s like a glorified search engine to me.
Forgive me if I write this here, since I need somewhere to put this. I just wanted to write somewhere about my dad dying since he’s been in the hospital now for a while.
cw: grief/death/alcoholism
My dad is dying due to his drinking. He had a fall last week in the shower. He has been in the hospital for a while now and he pretty much just dying. I really hate alcohol. I really hate how my parents didn’t try to take care of themselves more. Since it’s almost been three years now since my mom died, and now he’s dying too.
At least this time around, family and my friends are there for me unlike when my mom died. It’s also sad that my grandma going to outlive my dad. At least I got to say I love him when he was still mentally there, because the last visit, he’s just, not there. He has only been getting worse since he brought to the hospital, and there talk of him being brought to hospice.
I don’t know what I’m going to do, especially since I been living with him since I didn’t want to abandon him. Now he’s dying. Where do I even go after this?
I really need to get out of this place, but can’t do that since, on top of my dad not bothering to take better care of himself, had left a lot of things unfixed! For example, I can’t drive his car since it now has a flat fucking tire! He did warn me about this and mentioned this a few times in the last few months. He had some time to get it fixed, but didn’t… much like a few other things inside this place.
I just want to get outside, and just, get away from things for a moment. But can’t! All the while, relying on family to bring me to the hospital to see him, but I’m tired of going to that god damn fucking hospital. I hate going there, I hate going to the same floor where my mom died. I hate seeing him like this. I hate alcohol, and why couldn’t he just bother to get help instead of constantly refusing it.
That really sucks.
Try to focus on on problem at a time. Its good that you have family to help you. Ask them for help but keep it to one request at a time. You don’t want to flood them with all your problems or they will get overwhelmed and do nothing. I they can help you get the tire fixed that is going to relieve a lot of pressure and make it so you can manage a bunch of other problems on your own.
Hang in there we are all rooting for you.
Thank you, unfortunately he died today. I am getting that tire fixed soon.
