Trump made his image himself, it was him who decided to harass miniorities and brag about reading Mein Kampf often.

The absolute garbage that does be on the internet, honestly.

You get me $10B annually or so, and then we can start to talk. Your single-fiber line and homelab will handle, what, 25 simultaneous users? Just have to scale that to a billion daily users or so, no bigger.

p2p could do this

People dropping mad personal information in this thread. Idiots.

Thanks! I'll check out your recommendations!

 

#nojeans makes life more interesting, you've got to explore more options instead of the bland lazy one

Here are some options in order of formality –

Thai fisherman pants

Workman's trousers like Snickers and stuff

Heavy woollen trousers (as opposed to woollen slacks, which are suit-level formal)

Linen trousers

Slacks

Thanks for asking, Fed!

It's Cinemark 17, 2900 Gateway St., Springfield, OR, 97477

Just 614 m from my house!

 

It's a Telugu-language science-fiction epic that's getting a lot of hype. I might go to it this weekend.

Equivocating Stalin and Hitler is some crypto Nazi shit.

It is standard in Westoid discourse, e.g. the Wikipedia page on "authoritarianism" probably does it idk didn't read it.

People who use words like "authoritarianism" equate the two.

Hungary was also the best part of the Soviet Bloc to live in for the people.

So it's not just that modern Hungary is worse: communist Hungary is more miss-able than communist East Germany.

Nigel Swain's two books on the subject are good:

  • Collective Farms Which Work? (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1985)

  • Hungary: The Rise and Fall of Feasible Socialism (London: New Left Books, 1992)

He's writing from the perspective of a non-red English academic who's like.... "wait... this works?? how do we explain the anomaly?"

Hungary had full shelves, booming agriculture, available consumer goods.

Or the CIA made it all up because Mao and Stalin et al did nothing wrong. 🙄

They made mistakes. But overall their countries were a gazillion times better from their influence.

e.g. From 1950 to 1980, life expectancy at birth in China grew from between 35 and 40 years to 65.5 years, one of the most rapid sustained increases in documented global history
