I made a mistake, I engaged with Zionists, I think I am going to lose my mind, its unbelievable.

I am posting more because I deleted Grindr which was practically my only social interaction as my friends are sadly adults with jobs. I appreciate every person interacting with me. Thank you for your labour.

I'm so fucking done with fucking redditors and their fucking unfunny jokes and pop culture references. They think they're comedic geniuses but they're beating a dead horse into the ground. So many jokes in movies and tv shows get ruined because redditors quote it all the time. I'm Dutch and I'm so tired of seeing that Austin Powers quote everytime my country is brought up. I swear when I saw Star Wars for the first time, I already knew half the dialogue. And when they do try to be funny without using preexisting jokes from media, they're not funny either. I saw someone make a joke about Steve Irwin's death.

And my axe! Hello there! Big chungus Keanu Reeves!

Fully agree with you. Reddit people are some of the most unfunny people every. Even worse when you meet some of them in real life and they start making the same movie jokes. One of my friends is like that and even though he is a nice guy I just wish he'd shup up lol.

New polls again have us as the fourth biggest party in Flanders for upcoming elections.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

With around 11% of the votes. Nearly 1 in 8 people is willing to vote communist.

Brazil has ended all diplomatic ties with Israel and has recalled its ambassador.

THIS IS HUGE

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

And no other government besides Israel has criticized Lula's speech.

Because it's true

News like this makes me wish I had a vuvuzela on hand.

Honeslty ... Just posting arguments aganst them in with my .ml account so they cannont just hide behind blocking all grad accounts is very enlightening, they more or less ignore everything that is being said and keep trying to come up with a reason why it is not valid ... never engaging

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I do a lot of that with no expectation that I’ll change the particular person’s mind but rather for the larger audience.

Hot controversial take: engineers have the most important role in society because they are in charge of developing the productive forces. Problem is that the current education program makes them donkeys with no ideology, or status quo bootlickers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I would say worse than no ideology, they are given a reactionary ideology if possible. That being said I would say a very important but I would not say "the most".

The Emoji we all needed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How do I use emojis? :littlefriend:

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Type ":" and the first few letters and you should see a selection pop up. You can also find it in the "*" category in the emoji picker located above post/comment text areas.

I saw this on reddit and want to know your perspectives on Assad.

reddit opinion is not a representation of the people of a country. the people that use those subreddits are mostly americans.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

As an example: reddit.com/r/china, /r/japan, /r/korea are all whites or 3rd gen who has visited the country once 15 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

lol r japan and korea are whities who are nowhere close to native populace opinions. it’s so funny.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

every single country subreddit is a shithole full of reactionaries.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

You can’t believe ordinary plebs don’t even have access to compute because it’s gobbled up by big tech, so you have to pay corporations to use AI. this should be a basic right now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

To add to my previous comments about the polls:

Besides being the fourth biggest party in Flanders, we are also the third biggest in Wallonia and we even remain THE biggest party in EU and NATO capital Brussels

Life under capitalism:

For months I had been experiencing some back pain, which gave me stress. I have a mole near the painful spot and had it checked out by a doctor, but he saw no worrying things. I still had back pain, though. Months passed with daily stressful thoughts about what was going on. I worried it may have been cancer (lol) or that I was supposed to get an expensive treatment for whatever issue I was having.

Last week I figured I should just go to a physio because this couldn't go on any longer. Made an appointment for today. Had some examination. There's just this one muscle in my back that's so tense it could've very well been made out of steel. Had a massage, some stretch exercises and I feel better. I have some follow up appointments made to keep track of the muscle.

The best part? Apparently health insurance should pay for the majority of it. Here I was stressing for months over what turned out to be something minor all because I was afraid of high medical costs and what not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

the main factor is stress. please do some stretches everyday whenever you get time.

i had similar problems, migraine, eye strain and i got accupuncture. got so much better after that.

I keep struggling with the electoralism that has taken over the party the past few months. I get that elections are coming up and that thy are important but it's just not what I signed up for. Makes it hard to get motivated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

The frustrating thing is that I have some activism things in mind that we can just roll out with some people which I think would put us on the map in a positive, rebellious way but I feel like my ideas get pushed to the side because everyone is so focussed on elections. And then we do some, in my eyes, cliche petitions kind of things.

Nearly finished with an EPUB of Russian Justice, seems like a very niche book from searching on the internet, but a very good book. I'll finish it tomorrow, and post about it in the new thread.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (4 children)

I'm starting to feel a bit burned out I think. Haven't had a proper day off since July apart from the odd holiday. I'm starting to feel annoyed by people lol. I take public transport to work and I'm just instantly mad at everyone around me for making noise, being rude, whatever. At work I get confronted with poverty every day and it's getting harder on my mental wellbeing I feel. I'm annoyed by things the party is doing and in the evenings I don't have the energy to do anything.

Currently sitting on the train next to two girls being loud and annoying and I have to stop myself from yelling like a Karen I feel.

Also, I have been taking cold showers for like a year now and usually they are fine with a small mental step to take every morning, but the last two days I spend 5 minutes staring at my shower being unable to get into the cold water. I took a warm shower instead. Couldn't get myself to do it due to stress.

I have a day off this week so maybe it helps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

People are rude, loud and inconsiderate. It's not normal not to get annoyed by that. I hope you can get some rest still.
