a lot of these shelters will also prohibit substances on the premises and not all of them involve treatment programs, so if you are addicted to a substance (usually fentanyl right now), you’d have to go cold turkey just for housing. you’re expected to get clean on the street and then get housing.

the leaked info was sensitive information about the bradley IFV (a lot of which have been sent to ukraine) so heres to hoping this leaked info is used for a good cause.

at least they’re not being subtle about their true beliefs with the nato symbol on the nazi eagle

“what? men don’t hate female leads! most guys love (franchises where the female lead is white and conventionally attractive)!”

discussion on whether it actually works or not aside, i thought we’ve kinda agreed that ethically its wrong to treat neurodivergence as a disease to be cured. it’s a cool scientific innovation, if only in mice, but i’m hoping that the chinese state and party spend more time deliberating the ethical question of this technology.

anyone receiving genuine political opinions from call of duty must be sent to the countryside for re-education through labor.

for some people it might be that, for others it might just be reactionary conservative beliefs about gender.

maybe stop drinking depending on how the year goes

what has hamas done that israel hasn’t done but in larger quantities? by most definitions, most western governments including israel can be counted as terrorist organizations. israel, the us, etc. have frequently committed unlawful (numerous violations of international law) acts of violence towards civilians for political/economic motivations. but this label is only applied to a national liberation movement. do you ever wonder why this is?

mix of good and bad. i’ve been having some successes recently in the romantic realm, i’ve got some dates planned which has definitely provided some source of joy in my life. but overall, i haven’t been sleeping at all the last few days and recent events have been making me so increasingly hateful and angry at the evil capitalist system that it genuinely brings me down all day. the days are blurring into one and everywhere i go i feel enraged.

is your source for this call of duty or something?

what amazing technological milestones have they hit aside from docking with the space station and putting a fucking car into orbit?

squad allows you to play as local insurgent militias against the US or UK in a very tactical setting with a huge map. you can strap IEDs to vehicles and do all sorts of cool stuff. the game also allows you to play as the PLA and PLA marines sometimes, which is also super cool.

ADL is also apparently requesting universities to begin investigating pro-palestinian student groups for “materially supporting terrorist groups”. classic american “freedom”.

AI. even as a communist, i thought that we could just make minor progress in AI research and then overthrow capitalism and have socialist AI which will be awesome. but after seeing the internet polluted with AI-created drivel (that “internet is mostly bots” theory might be true in all honesty…the capitalists would absolutely do something like that to make the internet look more populated because a lot of industries now rely on the internet) and ben shapiro using AI generated fake images to fuel hate against palestine, i want to see AI completely gone. i despise it. if i had the choice to destroy AI and LLMs and all that shit, i would. and i say this as someone in a field that is currently seeing some fledgling AI implementation.

its definitely still a thing in some irl spaces actually. i’ve seen atheist groups irl that will espouse new atheist cringe talking points insulting all religions. they do sometimes go after christians too, at least, but it seems like a lot of what they do is go after islam.

all good haha, was just confused

hippies are an annoying side effect of the american “new left” of the 60s. a revival of leftism, sure, but not one that was too effective or theory-based at all. the entire thing was kinda centered around the vietnam war, which was a fantastic mobilizer for the years that it was happening, but once the united states was defeated in vietnam and pulled out and the war ended, all the hippies stopped caring and settled down while they gave birth to one of the most wretched groups, the yuppies. the hippies were basically like the first iteration of the “calls themself a leftist but still buys some CIA propaganda” type you see all too often nowadays. america was bad, sure, but the soviet union was JUST as bad. lets just have world peace and everyone in harmony, man. there were of course active radical marxist-leninists, and not to mention the incredible black panther party, but i think they were kinda overshadowed in general by the “new left” hippies who were so high on CIA LSD that they didn’t really do much in the country aside from protest the war that was already on its way out thanks to the brave soldiers of the NVA.

nowadays, you can find hippies living in million-dollar homes in cities that were once cool and radical and are now just havens for the rich (think san francisco), living out all the ideals that they “rebelled against” in the 60s and posting 5G covid conspiracy theories online.

im curious where you heard that the dead kennedy’s were making music in the 60s
