to be fair, hydraulic brakes with power steering dead would be a tall order to stop a fucking 3000 kg rust bucket too

I had a tiny ford focus power steering fail on a muddy, but flat road and it was pretty scary

I’m going as a cockroach

Already made the wings and antennas, only missing the extra legs but that will go quick

This reminds me of Ursula Le Guin’s “bag theory”: that the first tool humans developed, was not a weapon which is usually taught, like a spear, but rather, a bag, to carry things: for example for berries we picked. A nice reframe from the violent status quo.

If you mean the definite form, then no, Polish doesn’t have it. Learning English as a kid was difficult because no teacher could explain it to me in an understandable way.

I’ve been learning a little Romanian lately though and it is there. Romanian is such a weird language. The vocabulary is like a mixture of five other languages, the grammar has gendered words and conjugations, yet it has a strict word order, unlike Polish that thanks to the complex grammar allows for very free reordering.

From now on I’m calling my girlfriend “my microscopic mite”

I had a similar experience, sans jail and FBI. During a family gathering, I argued with my father that poor people should not be poor and jobs exploit us all. He’s like “this sounds just like some run of the mill Marx and Engels”.

So then I read Marx and Engels and now I want to destroy the West

There are a few ML parties in Europe that have technically participated in elections (though more as an instrument of agitprop rather that to actually win), I bet they are referencing those and not just being a lib

You’re right on the money there’s already a lot of focus on “poor isolated white swedes”, nothing on the fash narratives soaking every corner of society

The “personal ownership” is already commodifying the animal, and the “well cared for” part is bullshit, chickens kept for laying can not be well cared for by definition, as the modern breeds are literally slowly killing themselves through nutrient depletion. Such chickens can only thrive if they for example are stopped from laying (e.g. with hormonal implants), which negates the very reason a person like that would keep them. Then, the very motive for keeping the animals in the first place will eventually drive a small scale farmer to compromise on the conditions, because keeping animals alive is not cheap in on itself.

And don’t give me this shit about “not caring about animals” and “lashing out”, you literally wrote the most stereotypical anti-vegan slop just because I said people should eat beans rather than commodify animals

What are you even talking about, “long standing peace” and “harassment campaigns”? They started posting eating memes about dogs and local scratched anti-vegans tried to turn it into an anti-asian hate thing when there was no such element there at all. That was the “campaign”. It’s like calling out people who post cracker memes for doing “harassment campaigns”

Holy shit, a bona fide anti-vegan reactionary on hb, I thought yall went silent back when vcj migrated here

Or don’t, eat beans instead of exploiting non-human comrades

I didn’t even go through HR for my last two jobs, it’s as if the positions were completely pointless. Only contact I had with them was ordering vegan refreshments for various company events

Self driving cars are still not “done”, it seems like most big manufacturers work on them and it’s still hot. I’ve worked on one such project for a huge global company, and I’m about to start working on another, this time open source and for a university. Kinda sucks if this is what becomes my niche then dies off lol

They are machines, so I rage against them

I have zero media literacy

Tyranny felt so fresh because of it, as it was something like 10-15h if I remember correctly.

My favorite prefix will always be exa. Mostly because of a sci-fi book where one character called himself Exa and there were a few subtle puns with that name (like getting obliterated with a 10^18 W laser)

just wanna say I love this community and how welcoming it is towards veganism, it’s a breath of fresh air every day here

It wasn’t always, the pro-veganism bent was won with countless struggle sessions. I was here 3 or 4 years ago on a different account when there was a huge push against vegans. Many good comrades swore off the site back then due to that shitty reaction.
