Remember folks: being willing and able to admit when you are wrong is much more important and powerful than simply being right

Aye, yes, I think a trial period is reasonable.
If it gets bad we can defed again, but I think we should try to be as federated as possible, especially with other leftist instances
Everything but the second row because I distract myself from work, can’t nap, have an aversion to wearing “dirty” clothes, don’t cry anymore (thanks childhood), and also feel a compulsive need to shower everyday.
Plus in the shower I can pretend the world doesn’t exist as I destroy my skin because the water is hot enough to melt lead lol
I do love that Aotearoa has incredible avian diversity.
On one hand, we have Kea parrots who are smarter than most of the human tourists they like pranking and stealing from.
And on the other side of the spectrum we have the kakapo: literally the dumbest bird in existence.
Such amazing biodiversity lol

Putting off finding a new apartment for the 50th day because I have an idea I want to test out. Not like the semester starts and my old lease ends in less than a month…
I’m a mechanical engineering student with a math minor and I’m a switch so yeah, I’d take either side of this
You could always make a gigantic super absorbent polymer bead and wear that to a similar affect
I’m just so tired of squinting…
I’m not quite sure what you mean by “always like this” because, from my understanding, the rich exploiting the poor and fucking up the world in the process has always been.
In the past, the “most successful states from the perspective of a peasant” were successful because of their conquest of others.
Furthermore, this success is measured only relative to other capitalist states doing similar fucked up things, so I wouldn’t exactly say that’s evidence
The perceived “end” after 2008 you feel is not because capitalism or the mechanisms holding it in place changed, it’s because the internet made it easier for exploitation to occur and to be witnessed by you.
The state didn’t change its goals. It still doesn’t care about its citizens just like it didn’t care in previous centuries. Capitalism didn’t change either, the definition you listed is still the same.
What changed was the new methods available for the state to pacify the masses and the new sources of exploitation capitalism could acquire.
Sure it is getting worse and states that had socialized programs were better off because of it. But that doesn’t mean more socialized economies wouldn’t have been better. In fact it would imply the opposite. Especially since the erosion you mention is a direct effect of the capitalist parts
…will act in bad faith if the state doesn’t check them
The very purpose of the state is to not check them.
If you’re curious, you should read State and Revolution. Short version is that daddy Engels outlines that the purpose of the state is to protect the bourgeoisie and their interests.
White claw is a drink that comes in vaguely energy-drink looking cans, tastes bad (if it has any flavor at all), and has a slight alcohol content.
In fairness, my opinion of flavor should be taken with a grain of salt (lol) because I really dislike the taste of alcohol and am honestly surprised anyone could drink even a low percentage without recognizing ethanol’s horrible flavor.
