A series of colored lights in a circle that were flashing. Very small like led sized, flashing red, blue, yellow. I literally have no clue what it is and I'm sure as fuck not going outside.

wtf?

edit: it might be a false alarm, it could be the neighbor's front light hitting running water off the mountain

Can someone explain what happened to me with this situation? Seemed like I missed some huge news or a big scandal last week, I saw a Man Carrying Thing video reference but don't know exactly what happened except some company stole someone's Legos through legal loopholes or something? But apparently it's way more than that.

That's the post. I love them and would walk through glass and fire for them. They're great people who are everything to me.

This is your daily post to go outside and find people. Once you find your people, and you will because it's not a matter of "if" but "when", you'll feel like a million bucks.

I'm listening to Hell of Presidents again and it's always incredibly refreshing to hear such a materialist framing for the early days of the US. Like understanding why the goal of not forming parties immediately failed because of conflicts between different factions of capital (e.g. southern slavers vs. northern bankers).

But then what do Republicans and Democrats represent today? I understand they are historical holdovers from over a century ago, so they have have metastasized into a whole lot more than just representing one or two factions of capital, but there must be some materialist divide between them? Or maybe during the neoliberal turn it was recognized by capital to set aside differences and ultimately control both to give the working class even less power than they already had. But now it seems like the tech fascists are trying to coalesce into the Republicans, and I guess that's what the Republicans are atm, just a more openly fascistic bourgeois party than the democrats?

Never liked the thing, it pretty much just sits in my drawer. Why only one joystick? It feels wrong

Like this symbol was largely obsolete except as an honorific title for "Habibi Che" and no-one else. I was using the symbol after the title of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, though, which may or may not have been a faux pas.

When I found out about this "habibi" symbol, I remarked on how it looked more like a Chinese character than Arabic writing. Supposedly that was "because of the Silk Road", i.e. that this glyph came to Arabic from Chinese.

I apologize for not being able to elaborate further on that because the words that come to my mind refuse to form coherent sentences. 

All I can say is that the question in the title has been running in my head straight for a month now. It can be one of those days, or I start to stagger under the weight of my mental luggage.

PS, I'm seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist if anyone wonders.

And we hung out after work yesterday and he rolled me the fattest fucking blunt ever.

He literally said: "Aye mon, pass me da dutchie"

Anyway, I get where he's coming from.

Me and them were about to cross paths on the sidewalks and then something flew into my eye so I had to take my glasses off and tried to blink it out. I covered my right eye (the side they were walking past on) so nothing else would get into it while I was aggressively blinking. When we crossed the black woman leaned over and aggressively said "HELLO"

I just moved here last week too

He was very dehydrated, which is kind of goofy to say, but the man never drinks water, it's always his V8 fruit juice. Anyway they're keeping him for observation and giving him fluid. PHEW I feel better now, and he said I can eat his pizza he had in the fridge so bonus for me.

And then I awoke sweating from that wild dream while under an apparently too-hot blanket (which seems to be what causes me to dream... Hmm). I can't remember how I came across the code nor how I had set myself up to display what she was seeing, but it was pretty crazy to watch on my monitor the first-person view of another monitor (outside of the context of a game, at least, ha).

I was originally wanting to post this in a futurism community but they seem to only want article links there. So here I am...

She's also like a weirdo hippy lady with white girl dreads.

Should we stage and intervention?

I've befriended a few, have Indian American friends that tell me what their close Indian immigrants friends are like, work with them every day, and see/interact with them in the city daily

I honestly can't handle being around them, they love pretending to be more reasonable than they are, making me look like an emotional ass (thanks neurodivergence). Seriously, what's up with chuds dancing around the point and never being honest about their intentions? Like they pretend they don't want to exterminate muslims, or people from countries they don't like, why all the dishonesty? I know she believes these things because they like watching Ben Shapiro, Assmongold, Matt Walsh etc. She's joined Orthodox church after finding Catholics too woke for upholding hasic COVID restrictions, and constantly whines about Muslims.

I'm more than happy to admit I want society to be violent towards billionaires, fascists etc. Why can't they be honest about it, why dance around the point?

Hey comrades. I've got a chronic condition the system failed to catch. I don't blame the overworked medics; I blame the politicians who sold my country for a buck and treat us like cogs in a machine, and the system that allows the satanic pedophile elites to exist. My cope? Turning that rage into content creation. Not because it's easy (the stats haunt me), but because I'm here and I'm spiteful.

My goals are modest but radical:

  • A living wage.
  • Hire someone to help me with the things I don't care much about, like making video thumbnails.
  • Use the platform to build a decentralized organizing tool, not just another Discord. Think a mesh network for pure mutual aid & direct action, free from party lines and doxxing. Hopefully a way to connect the different leftist parties of each country so that it feels like you're participating in a universal movement.

What I need from you:

  • Tips for making it without selling my soul.
  • Best resources to learn video editing, SEO, and promotion.
  • Harsh truths, delivered gently. I know the odds are trash, but so is the healthcare system, and I'm still here.

Upvote so a comrade can afford to exist. ✊

Trying to run a DND campaign for the first time but I don't know anything about map making, geography, or geology. I want the physical features of the land to mostly make sense from a geological perspective and then conform the borders of my city-states and empire to their natural geographic constraints. How do I even begin with this?
