Seems like a good time to get back into it

That money obviously isn’t for feeding people

If we have learned anything in the last 15 years, it’s that speaking positively about Hitler is okay as long as its just a joke

/s for my homies

Its awe-inspiring that our technological society finally has given humanity the ability to make lasers capable of splitting hairs this thin

Yeah I wonder why

huge fucking /s

Does this meme mean I look away when I see it? Because I dont

Its the ABC’s of the american economy: Always Be C-porting market solutions that fuck us over

This is the one they made last year

Okay but it is the official ydsa account.

I wondered this too, so I started looking at professional snow sculptures. I was paying particularly close attention to the railing and the long steam stack. I didn’t see anything quite like the level of consistency and delicacy on that railing. There’s some unbelievable shapes in the pro sculptures, but those shapes seemed larger than the boat, the general scale of the boat seems comparatively quite small. I’m highly skeptical that snow could be made to do that. Its possible that the pic could be the front yard of like a world class snow sculptor.

Doesn’t seem to work. Thanks any way!

Am I able to use them? That would be awesome, it was my fav thing about your instance, I miss it.

I kinda forget how to use them though, its been like 2 years.

But you’re good I had a long, frustrating day too

Its very funny, its probably the most engagement ive ever had in almost 2k posts on Lemmy. I wasnt even serious and it wasnt even that funny of a joke. I actually edited it to make it seem less like a centrist comment, but apparently somewhat missed the mark. Appreciate all the comments though! Cheered me up during a stupid, exhausting, busy day of work

Your instance is constantly under attack. There’s a certain logic to defensiveness that, imo, isnt very compatible with socialist liberation. The siege mindset has its own rules, and your instance is legit a safe space for vulnerable people.

In order to combat it, your instance would need something like a party program, organization and a practical form of education. Meanwhile all of your enemies are invisible. Its enough to drive anyone to become defensive, that’s why people come to harass your members and be disgusting chauvinists on your instance.p

I don’t appreciate the way some bears respond to me, especially over occasional authentic political disagreements, but I understand it and try not to take it personal. Although some bears can be especially nasty. I think there are things y’all could do to improve it, I wish that hexbears would self-organize in a conspicuous, widespread, and meaningful way. Short of that though, its just the internet, not worth it for me to get bent out of shape over. Hexbear do Hexbear, and I’m rooting for you all

Oh I get it now, the way I framed it makes me sound like a sucky centrist. Which is the reason it got such a reaction.

Well don’t worry, actually I’ve transcended politics. You’re welcome

Thanks!

Probably an pointless gesture, but. Completely different context, but there’s some nuggets that might be applicable to the zero tolerance posture. Also it’s a fucking classic, can’t read it enough!

I don’t really operate under the zero tolerance mandate, personally and in my organizing I feel like I have to tolerate a great deal of liberalism. Mamdani (only mentioned cuz he’s features in the meme and generally regarded positively in this post thread) was backed by NYC-DSA, and that chapter is very much on the right of the org, moderate “Democratic party realignment” advocates, but still very effective, active, organized comrades. We struggle against that tendency of DSA every day, literally spent about an hour talking to a comrade about it earlier. In the meantime, tons of new people are joining the org, many have some kooky ideas and wrongheadedness. To me i need to try and educate, thats the nature of my work and i seem to have a knack for it. Liberalism cant be combatted as an individual ideology, only as a structural manifestation of bourgeois opportunism (incidentally another major insight of Lenin’s LWC.)

OTOH, Im not involved in the concerted efforts keeping your instance a safe place. Seems like there’s a vicious campaign against your instance that is just completely undeserved. I commend the zero tolerance for racism, transphobia, all forms of chauvinism; and those things def go hand in hand with liberalism.

It’s a hard problem. I hope I’m not coming off preachy just sharing my experience. And like you said, this historical phase will sort us out sooner rather than later, one way or the other.

Omg lol, thank you for your service
