I'm sure all of you technology addled fools who have never so much touched grass so much as worked a vineyard would have many questions about my arrogant and foolish younger brother. Well, ask away. I'll spill that tea he's so fond of drinking.

Only on this account. Combine my other accounts and its over 2k. Excluding comments ofc, just this account has around 2500 comments.

I also have like the 2nd or third upvoted post on this sub a week ago. Thats about being in war time Pakistan. All good now, no more active attacks.

I've also started 8 communities here. Unfortunately I haven't been active for a few months but you might still have heard of aneurysm posting or short stories.

I love writing, reading, chess, football, cricket, movies, history, mythology, food, art and culture. Especially love thorough analysis of anything really.

Tried joining Lemmy in 2022 but couldn't due to whatever instance that was being annoying. Tried again in 2023 and been here since.

Love a lot of instances here. Sopuli, literature cafe and dbzer0 my favourite. Although i think with dbzer0 its more loyalty now 😭.

I think I saw a drone yesterday too. It may have been some sort of Pakistani aircraft idk. Me and some friends saw an aircraft that was very fast, low and smaller than a commercial plane. Plus airports were closed anyways.

Family is panicked af. Stocked up on some essentials.

I've never seen the nation so united. Everyone has a patriotic side visible now. Even previously non political friends.

But we memeing as a nation.

I’m a long time Hexbear lurker. I came here as a lib from r/chapotraphouse and now I’m a lib who has read some theory. Thanks y’all!

I am Basque diaspora and trans masc. I had been planning to move to Euskadi (Basque Country) years ago, but with the rise of fascism in the states and the risk of being disappeared for being trans and openly anti-fascist I decided that I had to flee the country ASAP. I used all my savings, help from family, and a fundraiser to escape. I am extraordinarily lucky and beyond grateful to my found family and other loved ones. I hope to pay it forward.

I’m now living in a punk apartment in the middle of Bilbao, a historically anti-fascist region of Spain and a former victim of Franco’s reign of terror during the Spanish Civil War. The bones and memories of the Basque Partisans who fought and died for a better future are ever present.

A few facts about the Bilbao:

  • Bilbao has a massive community center called “Azkuna Zentroa”

https://www.azkunazentroa.eus/es/

The center contains:

  • A massive “climate refugee” space with heating in the winter and cooling in the summer for everyone to use, for free, as needed. Inside this space there is also clean bathrooms (nicest in the city imo) and an exhibition hall.

  • A library featuring DVD’s, media editing centers, reserve study sections, a floor dedicated to comics, and a residency hall for international comic artists. There are books in Basque, Spanish, various other languages.

  • A movie theater featuring independent films, locally made cinema, and more popular films for families. Tickets are about $5.50 on Tuesdays.

  • For an additional cost there is access to a really nice, low light, gym and a pool. People with disabilities are accommodated with their own specialized locker rooms. Gym classes are free with membership.

————

The old part of Bilbao is over 700 years old and is full of Basque punks. There is fierce support of Palestine with actions performed every week. The center of the old town is dominated by CNT: Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, more information can be found here (Sorry it’s Wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederaci%C3%B3n_Nacional_del_Trabajo

CNT has been setting up “Free Sectors of Bilbao” and emancipating abandoned churches and buildings for use as housing for the homeless. I have seen these projects throughout the city, this org puts the work in and has been active for over 100 years.

I could go on but there is so much I want to blab about. Euskadi isn’t perfect, but it is an oasis in Western Europe.

AMA and I will try to answer what I can.

Indy here, archeology expert and puncher of men. Ask me any questions you might have. Best in mind I spent more time in my life with a concussion than without one. So things are a bit really fuzzy

Great grandpa started a security firm for banks and shit back in the day grandpa made friends during the war, next thing you know the entire family business is installing lasers and security cameras ans trapdoors and God knows what else in all these secret military sites or oil cleanup things that are secretly military sites. I had 2 uncles, Snarling Frog, the oldest and Boastful Boar being the youngest, my dad was a middle child. Anyways, they each got on different sides of the curtain, one had a gig with the cia, another was working with the soviets, same guy kidnaps the both of em 9 years apart and has them work on his fake oil rig. My dad went to go find em and ended out in this real mixed up outfit Zamzibar Land, child soldiers and shit, he went real Nic Cage in that War Lord movie. Me? I try to keep my nose a bit more clean than those guys, little less nose candy for this guy, ain't the 80s no more. I get this real simple gig setting things up nice at this weapons disposal whatever in buttfuck Alaska. This place was so far from OSHA compliant I could not believe it was government. The elevators had an 800 lb weight limit, I'm sure that's not accessibility compliant let alone practical and ladders going up 2-3 stories with no fall cages, bad show, really anyone trying to get in would probably just hurt themselves on that slippery ass helipad out front. I guess maybe they can use it in the summer? Anyways, I put all them cameras and traps in or I know the guy who did so ask me anything.

Marhaba.

I live in Lebanon, Aley district. Israeli airstrike targets are at proximity of my location. Beirut, and particularly Dahieh, is completely visible from my balcony. There are also refugees sheltered in my town.

Other things to know about me: I am a leftist, and a legal and political writer.

P.S. I will answer anything (as it is with AMA posts), not only issues pertaining to the recent events.

Welcome to /c/AmA

Want a scheduled AMA announced ahead of time? Contact Awoo directly at the bottom of this sidebar.

Please stick to one of either three post types:

A standard Ask Me Anything post.

A request post -- (What is the format and why should I make a request post?)

A gauging interest post -- (What is this?)

What is an AmA?

AmA’s or “Ask Me Anything” began on the old internet, originally AOL chatrooms, later followed by Slashdot. They are crowdsourced interviews where the interviewee first makes a post describing who they are and what they do. Commenters then leave questions and can vote on other questions according to which they would like to see answered.

The interviewee can then go through and reply to the questions they find interesting, and easily see those questions the internet is dying to have the answer too. Questions will be a mixture of radical, serious and lighthearted resulting in the kind of interview you won’t get elsewhere.

What Topics Are Allowed?

Anyone can do an Ask Me Anything. The topic of the AmA must meet the rules below, and in some cases you must provide proof of the claims you are making. Ask Me Anything topics fall into two categories:

Something that plays a central role in your life. The prime example of this is a person's job; posts about someone's occupation are almost always allowed. A person's topic should be something that they know thoroughly and is important to them; this gives them more to discuss and a more thorough background in the field.

A truly interesting and unique event. An example would be "I organised a protest against x." It's an activity that doesn't play a central role in someone's life but is so uncommon that many users would not have experiences of their own to relate to it.

AmAs should NOT be about:

Mutual-Aid and Crowd Funding - AmA submitters that include any aid or funding campaign must be eligible for an AmA without the campaign for it to be allowed. Additionally, the focus of the AmA must not be the campaign -- those posts would be more appropriate in the mutual-aid community. Posts about suicide.

Other Restrictions:

Giveaways are not permitted on AmA. Contests and giveaways already running on a third party site prior to the AmA are acceptable

Proof

Proof in the case of public figures or orgs may be a social media post on an official account. For other topics it may be a proof image. This does not always have to be included in the post at the time of posting and it may be discussed with the moderators and provided privately. We will ALWAYS respect your complete privacy.
