The liberals don’t even care anymore. Their latest catchphrase is “that’s just pure propaganda” whenever they are exposed to the reality of the contradictions of their ideology.

People treating a “the Pope in 2025 should execute an armed international crusade into Israel in real life” post with absolute seriousness, and then telling you to touch grass, has to be one of my favorite HB bits

Here’s the official transcript, CTRL+F “expansion” for the Walz quote. Seems they haven’t gotten so brazen as to doctor transcripts yet, just censor media. Or perhaps it’s another symbol of how bold the Dems have gotten in their complicity to fascism.

To this day I can’t believe they actually censored Walz’s “the expansion of Israel and its proxies are a fundamental necessity for the United States” quote from the VP debate off the internet

And all the blue MAGA just pretend it never happened

Ahhhhh my bad fam! Yeah regular tires like that are perfectly fit for use. It’s definitely quite nice for quality of life rolling around with puncture resistant tires, whenever the time to swap comes! I always have puncture anxiety lol.

You beat me to it. I can also attest to the effectiveness of Schwalbe Marathons. Great in all conditions, not too heavy, and puncture-proof as it gets. Additionally, the retro reflective stripe is incredible for night time visibility. Best in class everyday tire, easily.

Those tires look pretty slick, OP, I know money doesn’t grow on trees but please consider it as a safety measure.

If I had the chance to expose Earth’s location to Trisolaris, I would do so without hesitation 10000/10000 times.

My local State government senator and representative couldn’t even spare 5 seconds of a staffers time to respond to me. Both Democrats. Guess they can win without me!

Trump continuing to unironically do more for Leftism than any Democrat, ever, will never fail to entertain me

Modern figures state about 6 million excess deaths in the Middle East caused by the War on Terror

Yup. Welcome to the endgame of capitalism. This has all been predicted by the immortal science of Marxism, and will continue to follow the predictions.

Additionally, we are in a literal climate apocalypse. Every piece of current data and every projection shows the world in active and accelerating collapse. If every human on Earth simultaneously turned communist and decided to save the world, we could reverse it. But anything less and it’s all fucked within our lifetimes.

These two pieces combined are what the world’s ruling class know. Just like they knew about leaded gas and greenhouse gases. They see the numbers, the worsening quality of life.

And yet we must persist, so I do. Stay armed and loosely organized with stocks of food supplies (or a garden if you have land) and persist within the system while helping others when you can. I don’t know what else we can do individually. The alternative is to be destitute and homeless and unable to help anyone, which apparently makes me a Fed to say. /shrug

America truly is horrific for the disabled, even more than usual.

Posting for bump/solidarity.

$2m to lease an office for 16 months and $7m for drones and tech.

No doubt this will be added to the department’s budget and taxpayers will be forced to pick up future lease extensions, drone attrition, new drone models, training, and the continued costs of server hosting, software licenses, etc. in perpetuity.

Nah your research is pretty accurate. Locals and even Hawaiians use it commonly with a negative connotation, but when used respectfully and in-context, there is no negative connotation (unlike f*****).

It’s actually really interesting you mention Chinese ETFs. I am focusing on paying off my student loans before I can aid comrades or invest (high % compound interest is a bitch…) but I also play with small amounts to see how I want to spread in the future.

I really think the Chinese market will be the future and overweight them in my 401k. I get a decent match so I think of it as funneling capitalist money directly to China (but still poor and net in debt for the foreseeable future…).

I do agree that investing wide in ETFs like you did is the way to go. I like to buy the whole market and hold because that’s the only guarantee to beat the rigged game but well researched plays can pay off for sure.

Long term: try giving your state or city government’s job portal a look. Like others mentioned, GIS and IT analyst roles are in demand and you have the background for it while not necessarily being a code monkey. State govs often have very long hiring processes and lower pay so they have hard times filling positions, they just sit empty. Not to mention the elite benefits and pension.

Short term: I agree with the rideshare, you’re taking a big mileage hit but cashing it in for money now and the bills won’t wait for you.

Also consider leveraging your technical background to be a stronger candidate for less technical positions. I studied engineering and now do operations management in a tradie industry but I like it a lot.

Good luck out there, just gotta keep up the applications even if it seems hopeless

Also idk if I would recommend trading. Unless you have insider knowledge, it’s literally just luck. Maybe try getting into boglehead strategies? They are proven to beat the vast vast vast majority of traders with 0 effort.

Imagining the inevitable plot twist where the attacker was just some antisemitic chud with zero consistent ideology, just completely brain-melted by the contradictions of Western capitalism

Yeah agreed. There’s just a tiny bit of a difference between enjoying a coffee in the morning, a beer or two on the weekend, or dry vaping some weed at the end of the night…. and fucking being addicted to ketamine and non-medicinal use of adderall.

That shit ruins your own body, your life, and all your relationships and it’s objectively a reactionary take to celebrate that type of drug abuse.

Communism does, in fact, require our productive labor.

If only there were some sort of larger… market… of farmers… called a farmers market… that you could visit in one trip… like the person you’re literally replying to mentioned…

Fuck yeah, looking forward to this! CK3 is my paradox-slop guilty pleasure and it’s genuinely incredible how 1) I’ve wanted an official Asia expansion so much and 2) how fucking seething this is making the typical Paradox white incel fascist playerbase.

Of course the absolute cash they’ll rake in from this is also going to be fucking hilarious, just imagining the defeated CHUDs reactions. Not only will this be huge with the growing CN playerbase, western fascists are gonna gobble this shit up whether they like it or not, and everyone knows it!
