I don't know enough about Venezuelan history to get into an argument about it beyond providing the specific details I have. You know less than me about Venezuela but you are itching to argue and make sweeping declarations about something you are clueless about. You're not doing marxism you're doing internet slapfight bullshit. I will repeat, no investigation, no right to speak. Go investigate, vibes based argumentation is anti-marxist and a waste of everybody's time. Grow up.

Yeah I'm not inclined to get into an argument with somebody who comes across like a baby twitter ultra leftist, I assume nobody else is either. The quality of newsmega posters continues to decline.

curses, you almost fell into my trap, now I'll never be able to tell you your revolution is a failure because I read an imperialist rag that said so

Please do some research on Venezuela before making your ultra-style declarations like they're fact. The revolution in Venezuela put power back into indigenous people's hands and improved their quality of life significantly. It's not perfect but it's a damn sight more than anybody in the West has ever done.

lmk how your revolution goes so I can throw stones from the sidelines without knowing very much about it, too

Maduro was offering this exact concession to the US in exchange for ending the sanctions.

Israelis fleeing to USA to avoid consequences is a novel inversion of the normal pattern

Bought a rusty old rack, shortened and widened it to fit my old Toyota so I can carry some old used necky kayaks. Projects are fun.

 

youtube's algorithm actually did something cool and showed me this

 

I got food poisoning and ended up going to the ER last night because I lost control of my upper body. Apparently hyperventilation (while puking my guts out) can reduce the amount of CO2 in your blood stream, making your blood mildly acidic. Before I went to the hospital I was laid out on the ground, unable to control my arms which were partially bent with my hands balled into tight painful fists. Thought I was dying.

So, pro tip, if you're ever hyperventilating and your upper body gets tingly and starts to cramp up, try your hardest to regulate your breath.
