Such a beautiful aircraft. Western media always tries to portray fictional Soviet machinery as boxy and ugly, but when you look at actual designs it's all flowing lines and style

I've been in one of these. They're really nice. The interior looks a bit dated but that's to be expected.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

I'd imagine the interior of contemporary western airplanes would also look dated without a do-over

I first saw one in a 70s Soviet movie -- can't remember the name -- about a Georgian bush pilot who dreams of flying a Tu-144. After knocking around Moscow for a while with an Armenian friend, he gets his dream, but decides he misses home and so goes back to his old job. Just a good heartwarming movie.

Anyway, it's an absolutely beautiful aircraft. Seeing it on the ground almost makes you do a double-take, because it looks like something whose native habitat is the air.

Read about China on Reddit is like reading about Jews on stormfront.

oh boy you hit the nail right there.

lmao just scrolled past the exact same comment

That's what inspired me, but I didn't remember where it was from, thanks for bringing the original.

So, embarassing confession time: I was kind of holding onto (hope I'm not the only one) an irrational hope that the patsoc crowd would someday get past their rightist nonsense and turn into genuine Marxist-Leninists. With the latest split between Maupin and Haz+Jackson Hinkle, I've finally seen what everybody else probably saw a long time ago: not gonna happen.

The thing is, the whole phenomena is just as media and personality-driven as the radlibs they criticize. Maupin is a TV reporter; Haz and Jackson Hinkle are "influencers;" Sameera Khan, who seems to have dropped off the face of the earth, is a model. And they're all jealous of each other's media presence. Maupin seems upset that Jackson have a bigger internet presence than he does. Haz and Jackson Hinkle are jealous that Maupin, as an RT reporter, plays in the media "big leagues;" going to Kremlin press conferences, interviewing the president of Iran, etc. Compared to him, they're small-time operators, and they know it. Hence the attempt to glom onto Andrew Tate -- very weird, because whatever Maupin did back in August last year, Tate did, and worse. Just a bunch of weird opportunists who mistake personal drama for advancing the revolution.

They were all grifters from the beginning, I didn’t expect any reform. More alarming is the continued prominence of patsocs that pretend they’re just regular principled MLs and are held up as such (I’m looking at you Midwestern Marx).

Most of us went through a phase where we ironically liked gulag memes before we actually liked them. They are just stuck there

I remember reading a quote about how coalitions are essentially agreeing on the least-radical platform, with nothing taken from the more radical members. I thought it was in the state and revolution, but I couldn't find it. If someone knows what I'm talking about, please post it here.

Have been away from Lemmygrad for a month (life was stressful), did anything noteworthy happen in the meanwhile?

Anyway, I'm back!

Best part about this is the projection, because the west and their funded troll farms in Taiwan (1450 troll army) are doing exactly this to the PRC. Mainland social media has plenty of pro-western, pro-IJA, pro-fascist filth being spread around there lol.

They use the exact same terminology you'd expect from libs.

"Common values"

"Rules based international order"

"Instead of going against the US, we should reflect why the whole civilised world is against us"

"How does any of our country's achievements have anything to do with me and my low salary?"

"Slobber Zuccini, anyone who doesn't support justice is a yellow skin Russian"

"This country is infested with pro sisipee pinkos"

“Instead of going against the US, we should reflect why the whole civilised world is against us

Oh hey, I've heard this one from Russian libs! Near verbatim too

I am curious if this happens in your countries. There are these businesses that sell stuff from local entrepeneurs, the catch is that the business charges a rent fee to showcase your products and also take a cut when they sell something 😂 funnily enough they are called "collectives"

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That sounds like a consignment shop. Feels a bit rent-seeky...

This is at least how hairdressing and tattooing work for a lot of merchants in Amerika.

If you go to a hairdresser, more than likely they're a contractor renting part of the building whenever they have appointments, rather than being directly employed by the building's owners. Much of the reason prices are so exorbitant for these two services -- you're not only paying for the service, but for the servicer's rent.

Can't say I've heard of such practice, but that doesn't mean it's not present (given everything else). So thank you for the new avenue of research

Comrades, Google has failed to give any useful information because of enshittification. Anybody know how to have a different working language between excel and word? I know VBA and all excel-associated commands in english but my work is in a different language. I type/work in that other language all the time except for in excel where I forget how to do the fuckin sum command. But changing the working langauge makes it a shitshow with spellcheck and several other issues. I'm tired of that BS. Any advice?
