Greetings Comrades. today's update is just one item. Going forward "llm" text generators will be referred to as KKKlocks that Lie.

they also believe that the reason for our schools performing like shit are "the immigrants being uncivilized islamics"

edit: and also they are teachers, TEACHERS! this is who has power over children in this country

From where I'm sitting, it looks like death should not be the end in that case.

You can't perceive the passage of time when you are dead, so you're just going to experience dying and then immediate rebirth after the countless eons pass for that rare moment where entropy spontaneously reverses to form your mind again.

If these guys are my bros I would ask about it. No need for this secrecy if we are strong friends

100 rouble note, type of 1919 with inspirational slogan in multiple languages. (better reference materials: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note218376.html ) The same basic design was used on 250, 500, 1000, and more ornate 5000, and 10000 rouble notes.

During the revolutionary period, everyone- various regional governments and military units- was issuing all sorts of banknotes, so a lot of them are still fairly available and cheap as collectibles. There are entire specialized books devoted to trying to unpack it all.

Also my favourite of the Soviet coinage. The poltinnik/half-rouble (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4623.html ) features a man working a piece of metal with a sledgehammer and anvil, and the rouble ( https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7401.html ) features two men pointing towards a glorious future. These were the first types of coins issued under the USSR designation; previous ones were labelled RSFSR. Later types switched from silver to base metal.

Hanging on my mirror so I am reminded of the immortal science every morning when I get ready

Thanks, NYT

I'm not at all exaggerating when I say this. The bar is so incredibly, incomprehensibly low everywhere else that I'm about ready to call literally anyone who can join this community, be genuine, and still not get banned an actual saint.

And that's no diss at the admins for being ban happy or whatever, that's literally just how you create an online community full of good people and somehow Hexbear has been the first to realize it

(Yeah, it'd be funnier if the image was a cornfield, but what do you expect? I'm turning into a crop!)

The other side

Sorry about the image quality.

I like the feeling of fizzy bubbles and everyone likes soft drinks.

Jokes aside this suffers from the Disney villain trope where the villain is 90% correct but they have to shove in a 10% evil so they can be villains and you oppose them.

Shinzon was a Picard clone who was turned into a slave alongside Remans who are used as slave labor, and his plan was to free the Remans from servitude and it looks like he wants to (more than just free the Remans from servitude) annihilate the federation and Romulus. I completely admit I'm only about 60% into the movie so perhaps there's more at play but it certainly doesn't look that way.

Shinzon just seems to be evil for evil's sake. Even Picard, upon hearing that Shinzon fought to free himself and Remans asks 'how many Romulans died for that freedom?'; what absolute utter lib crap. Even Shinzon's answer, obviously not his true feeling on the matter (as at the time he was attempting to deceive Picard) was 'too many', as though the people enslaving you should be safeguarded when breaking your chains; there was nothing in the movie (at least up to Picard's chastising question, and perhaps for the entirety of the movie but again, I've only reached up to about 60% of the movie) that indicated that Shinzon had gone after civilian targets.

Didn't the federation literally fight off the Borg to maintain humanity's freedom? How many Borg died for that freedom? Absolute lib crap.

Then I go on to twitter to at least see some beautiful tweets about people like Paul Kagame of Rwanda who strove for national unity and reconciliation (https://x.com/shawnchauhan1/status/1874146691542376640); there are so many movements outside the West that seek to end persecution peacefully, but it is never depicted to us in our media that such horrific chapters could be ended peacefully, or that our victims aren't secretly aiming to wipe us all out, that peace is deeply desired by everyone. The fears that rolled over Southern slave owners when the people of Haiti revolted and broke their chains still feels alive today.
