Most of the deaths under Stalin were from the conman Trofim Lysenko, who created “Lysenkoism” (a set of farming techniques he was faking the data on to get paid), and under both Mao and Stalin were from unwanted famines.

Fascism is Capitalism’s immune system, activated when the wealth gap gets too large.

Yep, so much of Reddit is like that… Creating an adversarial relationship with users …and just like YouTube slowing down people using ad blockers, or games demanding people be online, it will eventually drive people away.

Death by a thousand self-inflicted cuts.

…and all so they can steal our collective content, creativity, and every piece of individual thought or content we’ve ever communicated online.

…with the aim of exploiting it to make billionaires richer.

CAPITAL-ism is aimed and designed to benefit those with the capital.

…and I got news for you, if someone is trying to get you to pull marbles out their ass, then that’s their fetish… Because no one is worried that small marble sized balls won’t eventually come out naturally… They’re looking to bring attention that they’re up there (and possibly to get someone to try to get them out). People are weird.

I don’t think it would be easier, I think it’s my answer to the question asked. Look at the post again.

It’s nothing personal dude, it’s just someone’s question on the Internet. The question isn’t about whether it would be easy.

So write it to be decentralized, like BitTorrent or limewire, but for dating.

Dating apps.

We need an open source completely free dating app.

No paying for matches, no limits …just they’re in your town, you look at their photos, you can talk, anyone can block anyone.

Is what on both pictures?

Nope, it was Serbia’s Damir Mikec and Zorana Arunovic.

Damir Mikec’s eye wear looked more like something made from lego technic:

…and he’s gotten no love for having beaten all these meme based characters.

Why not show the gold medalists… Seeing as most never saw them, and they’ve got zero publicity compared to others.

I would usually say this is going too far, but this winter didn’t seem nearly as cold as usual, and that was concerning. Feels like in the next two decades the planet might not have winter… And might have a deadly season that was formerly summer.

So, all creatures on earth, as seen from the center of the galaxy?

Don’t demean cats like that, cats are far better that pick up artists, and we all know it.

They’re more lovable and moral for starters…

Yes, it was incredibly short sighted of the neoliberal “free market” Capitalist agenda to conduct their “race to the bottom” by sending vital manufacturing overseas.

That combined with privatisation and globalisation (and lots of unchecked corporate espionage done by China) has given away sold every single technological advantage the western world had been developing since the Industrial Revolution.

Lugaru and Overgrowth.

I use the cheapest serrated knives, they come in a set of four, and are idiots who each take a tiny bite of food when you move them along.

… perhaps they’re not even knives, but are wood saws for food.

Your grandfather’s knives could whisper to them 24/7 until their bodies rust, they’d still just be my little idiots who cost four dollars and only cut when I move them along.

And cut they do, just with no sense of danger or spite, they only take their tiny portions and giggle until it’s their turn again. Which is only when I move them, back and forth until they get through.

They’d probably be best off with PCs and a LAN in their bedrooms, and a console room elsewhere.
