This is something that has been bothering me from the start of the so called SMO. Europe relied on gas flowing through Ukraine pipelines. Couldn't Russia just have stopped the flow, and forgone the war?

World communism achieve tomarrow. You need to use all the combined state capacity of the world to deal with climate change and doing socialism. Is this capacity distributed in a useful way? Is there a time limit before it decreases below useful levels?

basically how much time do we have?

My mind first goes to arabic, falafel and hummus is basically eating beans on beans. Maybe add some bread with a bean stew and you're really just eating a lot of beans.

Or maybe it's something more asian, miso broth, tofu, soy sauce or something? Maybe dumplings with bean fillings? I'm really not well versed on specific asian cuisines here but it feels like you could eat lots and lots of bean on bean on bean.

What other contenders might there be?

Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you love with a burning passion based on more than vibes. Very preferably not large.

A good example is Cathode Ray Dude, who makes long videos on older technology. He doesn't seem to have done anything reactionary, he's got a personality far beyond "the algorithm", and he doesn't associate with any terrible people. And I enjoy his videos.

It's somewhat obvious that AI is going to be used to replace workers, as much as possible, so what do you think is the best way unions (or worker orgs in general) should deal with it?

Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you hate with a burning passion based on vibes alone. I am aware that youtubers are an inherently reactionary group of organisms ^[it-is-known ], but some suck at statistically significant levels.

Saw a comment on Truanon call it "Funny 9/11", the sheer whimsy of it all was so left field

Feel free to add common myths about the East that you'd like cleared up. Or how you've already cleared it up. It might help me or another reader.

I knew it was doomed from the start, but it was an interesting phenomenon and I want to read an account of what went down, the dynamics between different factions, tactical mistakes, etc.

Mine is (paraphrasing) "We're evil tricksters that will make you contradict the US Department of State" or something like that.

Post your self crits. They can political or personal or perhaps even both.

I hear from women tourists online that they got their ass grabbed 1 or more times on public transport. (Even times where they're with men.) Thats trauma and I wonder if I could one day go to India as a tourist without gaining trauma. I don't want to be scared of going there.

I still want to go one day, but these reviews mentioning SA scare me.

I never seen this mentioned before, but I often have a situation where someone will ask me to create something, what I've noticed is that nowadays people talk to me about the creation like they talk to an AI chatbot, "make this" "make it look more scary" "make it more mysterious" "give it realistic hands" it wastes a lot of time.
