That last episode was hilarious and reminded me of a Dragonball Z finale.

Everything is going to shit. My son has been having a strep induced autoimmune encephalopathy flairup, and attacking everyone including himself. Also, massive OCD symptoms, and he cannot tolerate me sitting or laying down in his sight. He attacked his little sister at one point. A pipe burst in the bathroom upstairs, so our kitchen ceiling got water damaged. Tonight right before bedtime, my son started throwing up constantly, so he has a stomach bug of some sort, I guess. Before he started throwing up he overflowed the toilet downstairs. Meanwhile, the laundry washer control panel is broken and the part won't arrive until Friday. We are so fucked.

If I only take salary monies from venture capital funded corpos that never turned a profit, is that the same as working at a non-profit?

Thanks, that actually helps me think about things a little differently.

Personal property

Even a deed to land (albeit a tiny fraction) that an imperial state has stolen from entire peoples?

My partner is super angry and depressed.

I am too but that's just my default state. And I've been this way since about 2016. But even more so since October 7th. I guess I feel kind of inoculated to it by now?

I would really love to try to get my partner activated in some organizing with me, but we have young kids and one of them has special needs. Being a parent is super demanding. But I went down this road before I got really radicalized into truly resenting and hating the US empire.

What's the best way for an insanely overwhelmed tankie dad to cheer up his radlib partner?

Why does this seem to me to be like anti-Russian propaganda from some Western rag known to print lies?

Super awful and mis-carriage of justice, if true and kid just did Internet search like article says he says.

Otherwise, joining anti-state groups is risky business in any country!

Also, not to be whataboutist, but this kid is white, and the US ruins thousands of black kids' lives every fucking year on far weaker charges.

And if the media even mentions any of it, the take is only ever: "Oh dear, whatever is to be done?"

Furthermore, it really does sound like what the US actually did to Julian Assange.

True. It was for me. Noam Chomsky is a little inscrutable at first, but a good example of the ethos perspective.

Being raised in the states by parents who used "Commie" as a cuss made it a difficult indoctrination to overcome to even consider the notion of a people's state requirement first before any chance at utopia.

But then I joined a Communist Minecraft server last summer and joined Hexbear and Lemmygrad and now I wonder what took me so long to come around.

I think the biggest obstacle for me personally was the notion of means-to-an-end based morality being dangerous, and how it can be used to justify any atrocity.

But stuff like gulaging unrepentant landlords is obviously justifiable lol.

Parenti is awesome.

I have an idea. Have every single article or comment posted by a user scanned by an LLM. Prompt the LLM to identify logical fallacies in the post or comment. Post the user logical fallacies counts on a public scoreboard hosted on each federated instance. Now, ban the top 10% scoring users each quarter who have a fallacy ratio surpassing some reasonable good faith objective.

Pros: Everyone is judged by the same impassive standard.

Cons: 1) A fucking LLM has to burn coal for every stupid post we make. 2) LLM prompt injection/hijacking vulnerability.

Also, advanced medical technology, what are human lifespans by the TNG time period? I know, I know... this is not Daystrom Institute.

Bold move, taking fresh onions off the menu, leaving only the unfresh, expired, E. coli infected onions on the menu.
