If you were fancy you’d buy a stack of DVD-Rs that came in jewel cases. For the stuff you didn’t care so much about you’d keep them in paper sleeves.

Or do like everyone else: store them on the spindle they came on.

Niche shops are great, but fuck Amazon. The majority of what they sell is available directly from the companies that supply them.

I usually take a month off of work in the fall each year. One of my bucket list items is taking that time off to find a job with the worst bosses and seeing how far I can go while giving no fucks.

The cool thing about browser choice is there are no “correct” answers – it’s personal preference.

So don’t let the fanboys get you down. You’re entitled to your opinion even if it is wrong.

My bad eyes totally didn’t see that was the antifa flag.

So nothing I said applies to this post … whoops.

Not at all.

People don’t have a problem with tankies because they want to use violence against fascists. Violence against fascists is fine.

People dislike tankies because they’re reactionary assholes. They dislike them for cheer-leading unjustifiable abuses and failures because they believe we’re in some zero-sum game that excuses it. Because they’re extremists, oppressive authoritarians, and want to use violence against all of their ideological enemies, including the “wrong kinds” of communist.

The good things they believe in and do aren’t what people have an issue with: it’s the inexcusably bad parts of their ideology people don’t like, and the fact they’re obnoxious about it.

Edit: I stand by what I said, but apparently its easier to recognize flags when you expand the image … and my rant had nothing to do with the post.

“Hurting the feelings of the Chinese people” has been one of the CCP’s favorite political catchphrases since 1959. It even has its own wikipedia article.

It’s often followed with China’s final warning.

It depends on if the shitty car is easier to steal.

It’s pretty common for criminals to steal cars to have an “untraceable” getaway car for other crimes – they don’t care how nice it is.

Tile has a mesh network, it just isn’t as big as Apples. It also isn’t enabled by default: you have to mark your tile as “lost” – which sidesteps the stalking issues airtags have.

It’s “hidden” behind the screen, meaning there’s to hole or cutout in the screen for the front camera. It’s not perfect and you can still see where the camera is.

The sad thing is poverty and hunger aren’t even remotely related to scarcity: it’s entirely a problem of distribution.

Even with blatant waste there’s more than enough to go around if society could be bothered with getting it to the areas and people in need.

They accused the blahaj.zone admin of “defending a transphobe” and their instance “unsafe for LGBTQ+” people.

The admin in question is trans and blahaj.zone is named after an IKEA shark plushie that’s become an icon of the trans community.

Yes, the famous “fascist uprisings” where students demanded things like a return to democracy with free elections, putting local communist politicians in power in the interim, end of occupation by a foreign power or state military, end to media censorship and oppression of dissidents, and the return to local rule.

Yep, all of those revolutions were clearly the work of fascists.

Those are the things tankies defend. They self identify as communist, because anyone can call themself a communist. Tankies are the “communists” that blindly celebrate the instances of failure and oppression instead of denouncing or learning from them – that is what separates a tankie from normal, sane communists.

It doesn’t help that the tankies are trying to push the idea that “Tankie is a slur against all communists/leftists!” The word “tankie” was invented by communists as an insult against those specific “communists” the cheer on brutal oppression of civilians – particularly when those civilians are communists themselves.

The irony is tankies hate the “wrong kind of leftist” just as much as their other ideological enemies.

The term originates from Soviet and aligned regimes sending in tanks to brutally crush protests and rebellions. E.g. The Hungarian Revolution, The Prague Spring Uprising, Tiananmen Square, etc. Some communists were disgusted at their fellows for cheering on said oppression (“Send in the tanks!”) and started calling them Tankies.

Tankies fellate oppressive regimes and dictators. They’re the smooth-brained “communists” that live in a binary world where anything “their side” does is good and anything the west does is “evil”. They’ll claim any criticism of historically “communist” countries like China and Russia is a CIA talking point … because they’re idiots.

TL;DR – they’re the MAGAts of the left.
