I heard someone use the term tankie irl for the first time. He was saying how great it is that our organisation can attract a lot of different groups who all bring something to the table, and one of the groups he named were tankies. At least he didn't mean it negatively lol

Wow today Ive been on Lemmygrad a full year, what a year its been

Happy Vietnam Family Day! TIEN QUAN CA

I got an A on the essay I wrote about the Vietnam war for university. I couldn't go full commie in it but I was satisfied with how it turned out. My boyfriend helped a lot and found me really cool sources in our home library which i unfortunately couldn't cite as they are not accepted as legitimate sources. Still, i took it as an opportunity to learn and did my best.

Can my family members just not treat me like a child for displaying autistic behavior? I feel like a child, and this is not helping

Considering I was suffering from bronchitis for three weeks and I will soon go on a 2 week holiday to what is basically a vertical only island I am starting to wonder why I ever registered to run a marathon in october lol. But I will keep training and inshallah

I wish everybody a nice week 😊

As a thought:

We use money as a convenient way to describe the value of someone's labour. But, it removes all context. It's kind of like having a multi variable equation to describe the economic value someone has, and either using approximations, derivatives, or substitutions, to simplify the equation into a single variable.

Then, we use markets to do the same thing with the needs of people. It's a simplified representation of what the real quantifiable needs of people and society are.

It's sort of like instead of asking everyone what they need and want, prioritizing the needs, and figuring out how much labour time is required to meet those needs, then figuring out how much labour time is required to meet the wants. We decided it is easier(true)/better to assume that each person will only choose to trade the amount of labour time they are willing to commit to trading for their needs/wants.

If someone in this situation is able to have more money than their labour value (theft, inheritance, etc.), they are disconnected from the effort required to meet their needs/wants. Thus, they have the money required to meet their needs, plus extra that is unearned, and an imbalance of power under this arrangement. It becomes possible to offer more for resources that are either scarce, or close enough to being scarce, thus driving up the price without any additional labour from that individual.

I bet it is possible to invent a new metric (besides money, but maybe unnecessary) and/or a new distribution tool (instead of the "market") that prioritizes needs and wants more than simply money/capital.

I'll call this work:

Crapital volume 1

Thread on front page of r/soccer rn filled with people malding about UEFA website (correctly) listing a Ukrainian player’s birthplace as Russia cause he was born in Donetsk. good bit

Started reading wretched of the Earth, good book

OH SHIT THE NEW UPDATE KEEPS "SORTED BY NEW" WHEN RELOADING THE PAGE LESS GOO

One thing I like to do when I eat alone is to watch food tours from all over the world, especially on channels like The Food Ranger. It's a nice way to learn about different cultures and in a weird way it makes me emotional. Like, today I watched a video about an Iranian street food tour and everyone in the video is so nice and friendly and smiling and welcoming, which is such a stark contrast with how our media portrays countries like Iran. This whole world view of dehumanizing other countries gets shoved in our faces constantly and it makes me sad that these people can't do anything about it.

Have a nice week, comrades! I hope it's nice and rainy wherever you are ^^

I didn't watch the debate, but this is me reading the reactions to it

Completely out of character I will fly for my holiday soon and funny enough I am nervous that the airport will be blocked by climate activists lol. Guess it is easy supporting when you're not the one being targeted normally.

is this true?

South Korea doesn’t recognise palestine. FYI
