It’s an authoritarian thing. A lot of the rebels against the USSR were communists (most notably the red navy’s rebellion at Kronstadt). It’s a shame that communism has become synonymous to much of the world with the authoritarianism of some of its’ factions.
Because we’re a social species that often checks ourselves off of those around us. Sometimes it’s unhealthy, but often it’s an attempt to maintain tribe status and to safeguard against misperception.
First aid specifically aimed at the sorts of injuries that one risks by protesting.
Not exactly but my wife’s background in protest medicine is one of the first things that drew me to her
King James. His persecution of women caused centuries of problems
It’s literally any alternative lifestyle community. I’ve never lived somewhere that didn’t have board game nights for the bdsm community. Lots of polyamory and nerdiness there
There’s only one Catholic approved birth control method according to my Catholic education and it surprisingly isn’t not having sex (yeah not fucking your spouse from time to time is a sin, pressuring sex is a sin, but part of mutual marital duty is to have loving sex). It’s swimming in the Red Sea. Period sex is the official birth control method of the Catholic Church and the only one they approve of. Don’t want to do that or have kids, better hope you were called to a celibate order or the single laity.
What? Nah I was just thinking because most of the nerds I know have multiple partners.
Their religion prohibits condoms too
Also lol at nerds automatically not cheating
Some grow wiser, but one of the lessons of my 20s has been you have to do it on purpose. I’m not wiser than I was 5 years ago on accident.
That’s very true. I routinely change the parts of me I love. I try to make them better. I’m a kind and loving person, but I’m trying to change that from a selfless form to a self preserving form. To know my limits and stop pouring from an empty cup.
I’ve never seen someone come out of the closet at 50 and remark that they’re glad they took their time
Get out and make friends. Yes I know it gets harder as you get older, but it’s often the difference between dying alone and demented young and sticking around and finding happiness until your body gives out.
Also, remember your grandparents and parents from time to time after they’re gone. It hurts but it’s good for you.
sighs and speeds it up sure whatever vp,
Yeah I don’t hire tradesfolk thinking I’m getting something cheap. I hire tradesfolk thinking I’m getting something that’s gonna fucking work when I need it to for as long as it can be expected to. That weld ain’t the cheapest part of the bridge by any means but it cannot unexpected fail without catastrophe, so if trained and reputable welders are expensive then welds on that bridge is expensive.
I can run my own wires when the wife lets me. But I won’t because that expensive electrician will do it safely and in a way that doesn’t cause even more expensive problems in the future
Good labor isn’t cheap and cheap labor is rarely good.
The speed of the conveyor belt does not impact the cycle time. No you cannot fucking slow down the conveyor belt to make it so you can work slower. You can’t speed it up to make people work faster. The speed of the fucking conveyor belt determines how long the things stay on the fucking conveyor belt. If it’s too slow things just stack up on it
Sorry, fucking line workers, managers, and executives in a factory…
Ohio has constitutionally protected right to choose
Young millennial. And yeah, I think it’s not the most stark and clear cut, but older millennials had hope once it was just dashed upon adulthood, gen z grew up with everyone getting that they were hopeless. Us young millennials though, it was awkward as a 13 year old trying to explain to my parents that I was doomed.
But I definitely have more in common with someone a few years younger than me than several years older
Chinese communism seems very much to be born of a fusion of USSR and Chinese imperial styles. But one important thing to remember about communist revolutions between 1918 and the 1990s is that the USSR played a major role in a lot of them. This is where you see such things as the betrayal in Catalonia and massive splits in western leftism as Marxist-Leninists and Maoists had backing and anarchists didn’t.
