Had a lovely night and need a little snack before bed. The popcorn maker makes me perfect popcorn everytime no jhudgemnt no questions asked. I live in an otherwise-gizmo-free household, but I do genuinely use this things twice a week on average. What gizmo are you not ashamed of?

I also got an immersion blender for $20 a week ago and used it once to make squash soup. Perhaps that isa second gizmo... It's gotten more use than my microave in the same timespan...

I was camping with my friend and told him "did you know succubus is a concatenation of 'I suck you bust' and the original myth was anti-oral sex?" after he finished laughing he said "now do incubus." I missed my chance to say "I would but you're too sleepy." and spent like an hour thinking up a fake etymology of 'incubus' but I couldn't think up anything good. :c

Not for any real purpose yet but I think it would be a fun project and could help us get used to using secure communications outside of our phones. Does anyone have experience setting one up? Also there was a guide posted somewhere on Lemmy recently that I am having trouble finding if anyone could share.

It's nothing more delightful than being in a room of 20-30 two-stepping kids. I sort of forgot I taught them a while ago, but we had bananas for snack today and we finished early so I put on 'Banana' by the Aggrolites from Yo Gaba Gaba and they all busted it down two-step style. I forgot that was the song I had taught them to two-step to earlier in the school year. It was an immense delight.

So you are fine giving active support for genocide for 'slightly less terrible'. To me it's like saying 'I am dying of thirst in the desert and I prefer the night because it is cooler and I will die slower.' The end is the same.

Thank you, edited. I could not remember the exact wording and the first verbatim quote of it I could find was this one and did not contain the line. On retrospect I see it was from the US Holocaust Museum so of course.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

First time a tragedy, second time a farce. My mom has been sending me these pre-written harangues to vote for Bomb-ala and this is all I can think of. The Democrats have already thrown Palestine under the bus. They have already thrown the people, families, and children at the southern border under the bus. Do you honestly think they are going to care about queers when it's no longer expedient? Seriously?

this is the correct line. thank you for your principled stand.

I don't know if it makes 100% tactical sense but the symbol of resillience is really powerful.

Ghana produces around 20% of the world's cacao but captures less than 1% of total global chocolate revenue. Neighbor Cote d'Ivoire produces another 50%. There are special GAT mandatory tariffs on chocolates and other finished confections which make it basically impossible for these two countries to produce their own domestic chocolate industry. So while cacao farmers work grueling 12+ hour days, few have ever actually tried chocolate.

Both countries were colonized by France which imposed a lot of cacao manufacture which is why the major chocolate company is Nestle. Further, while France is not the sovereign of its own currency since it is part of the Eurozone, it is the sovereign of the CFA Franc which is the national currency of 14 countries in the region. This is a textbook example of neocolonialism and a great propaganda point if studied. The recent 'military juntas' in the area are actually nationalist left-wing officers' coups which have expelled French military presence and worked to build meaningfully sovereignty. There is a lot of handwringing about the extreme poverty and instability of West Africa. france-cool is a major contributor. These are not poor countries, only overexploited countries.

Ghana is not under the CFA dictatorship however. Under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah, it broke decisively from French imperialism.

Biden realizes the decisive Arab vote in Michigan and Minnesota will cost him the election more than the Zionist-Jewish vote and pivots to Palestine. In a moment of tenuous solidarity, the USS Gerald Ford allows Ansar Allah militants aboard so as not to be the direct force enforcing the blockade on Caesaria Port.

The bangers Ansar Allah and Hamas have been putting out show how powerful ideologically grounded communication can be. Literally imagine Biden or any other western liberal speaking this forcefully without sounding like clowns.

Reddit is the heart of petty bourgeoise discontent. Its telling that even people who look like they have it good to us are also discontent and feel precarious. Their attachment to the proletarian cause is thin and not only certain, but as the crisis of capitalism intensifies, more and more of them will enter/be dumped in our camp.
