I love this. Artist?

Yes. The lack of it. I don't have the self esteem for a crop top.

I think it's a publication bias thing. Because so much was written about these people in their day, they become mascots for the time period. And what they did, while objectionable, is impressive. They had a massive influence on recorded history.

My own theory is that there is so much written in these times because of the massive inequality then. Books, statues, etc are expensive. In times of ecomonic equality, especially before the press, people would be less likely to waste time and resources on such things. Thats money better spent on improving their and their communities lives. But when you have massive inequality and a narcisist in charge, you get books, statues, and massive projects dedicated to the men who can afford them.

Yeh I get it. It can be cathartic to be sarcastic and snippy to liberals, but unhelpful. Especially since most people who self identify as liberals are not ideologically firm neoliberal capitalists, just people with vaguely humanist ideals that don't know all the right terminology. That's where we alll were at one point, but some stranger on the internet gettimg pissy because someone hasnt read enough theory doesn't make them want to learn more or organize with people.

Be as snippy and mean as you want to people who are firm in their shitty beliefs. Like neoliberal politicians, landlords, neo nazis, etc. Not workers trying to make rent.

It depends on your definitions, but many on the left, myself included, don't consider liberals to be leftists. Liberals are primarily capitalists, and while they are left within the very pro capitalist mainstream, they are not "leftists", which to me means anticapitalist.

In my experience most liberals at least have problems with capitalism, they just can't imagine a better system. I think leftists need to be less shitty, and use less gotchas and jargon, especially to people who are allies on social issues. Though this is frustrating when some of you're local queer elders are small business owners who underpay their employees and hoard property.

In addition to what other comments are saying, not only do they have a lot of lawyers, but they also have large legal budgets. They can afford to keep cases in limbo, appeal cases, and cost people a lot of money regardless of the legal or moral reality of what was done.

I agree with a lot of the posts here. It can be great to relax, but try not to use it as a crutch. I'm this way with alcohol. I don't reccomend shaming yourself for your vices and coping mechanisms, but look closely at what it's doing to you and try to keep it under control. Set rules, arbitrary as they may have to be, to make sure you can improve your life and enjoy it while you do it. Maybe workout, volunteer, or work on a hobby first. Maybe as simple as no weed on weeknights and/or during the day. If you break the rules you set, don't feel ashamed, just acknowledge it and move forward. Some people when trying to improve their habits will "break a streak" then feel like they failed and give up.

I think that's just them being gel. There are generic gel pills that in my experience work just as fast.

Fair that the cities were worse, but the islands were not uninhabited. The people there were evacuated (they were told temporarily) and the place they were evacuated to was still within the fallout zone. A lot of people died pretty much immediately and they're still dealing with increased cancer and birth defects today.

This was when these weapons were fairly new, and what little information we had about them was not given to the people of these people before they were pressured into allowing their islands to be testing grounds.

Open plans and schematics, interoperable, standardized. I should be able to unplug a component from my computer and plug it into another one. I should be able to replace broken parts. I should be able to, if feasible, make it myself with off the shelf components.
