I view the game as a breaking bad simulator or moral endurance tester and refused to let the conditions of the world turn me into a bad guy. Every time it was like "do you want to eat children or starve" I took it as a challenge. It was difficult to get through but I made it to the end eventually.

The group is Bob vylan, but I guess technically both of their stage names are some variation of bob vylan. I just found that out today and wanted to share.

I am deeply apologetic for posting something that came from 4chan. I am trying to do better.

It's good to know we're still living rent free in their heads. I literally never think about those people.

Does anyone know anything about this platform or these people? I hope they're going to be on every ballot. Seems like a good vehicle to count how much support there is for communism around the country. vote

"World's Worst Airline" smuglord

North Korea Flies World’s Worst Airline to Beijing for First Time Since 2020

(Bloomberg) -- North Korea’s state airline made its first international trip since the start of the Covid pandemic, in a sign of easing border restrictions that could repatriate its stranded nationals abroad and increase trade with its powerful neighbor.

Flight data indicates than an Air Koryo passenger jet flew from Pyongyang to Beijing on Tuesday, which would be the first such commercial flight in more than three years. China’s Foreign Ministry said this week the country had given permission for the flight. Air Koryo is also set to operate flights on Friday and Aug. 28 between Vladivostok and Pyongyang, according to NK News, a specialist service on North Korea.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sealed the border at the start of the pandemic in early 2020. The move slammed the brakes on the little legal trade conducted by his heavily sanctioned state and also left stranded North Korea’s diplomats and thousands of workers sent to places such as Russia and China to earn hard currency for Kim’s regime.

In a sign of opening, North Korea last month allowed in high-level delegations from Russia and China for the first time since the start of the pandemic, and this month sent a group of its taekwondo athletes abroad to take part in a championship in Kazakhstan.

Signs of a resumption of trade with China, historically Pyongyang’s biggest partner, led Fitch Solutions to estimate North Korea’s economy returned to growth after two full years of contraction. Still, it added that significant uncertainties still remain.

Air Koryo has previously been ranked among the worst airlines in the world.

I forgot how ignorant and self-righteous Reddit liberals were. The ones I've seen are easily the loudest and dumbest people on this network of federated instances. They have their "conviction" and "is wrong" sliders completely maxed out.

Let's not pretend that your politics aren't inherently authoritarian as well.

Either you support capitalism (or worse), which is grossly authoritarian as it inflicts massive violence not only via warfare but through mass starvation and deprivation, or you support socialism, in which case you have two options:

  1. The violent overthrow of the current system (spoiler alert: that's a very authoritarian thing to do!)

  2. The gradual reform of the current system, meaning maintaining the status quo for an exceptionally long time as we ever so slowly creep our way to a more just economic system while countless people starve, go homeless, die without healthcare, end up in yet-another war and so on (which is a very authoritarian proposition, just throwing away the lives of the poor in your own country-not to mention those in the developing world-just so you can have a neat and tidy reformist approach that doesn't rock the boat.)

Lemmy was built by communists and the audacity of these liberals to come here and demand shelter from exposure to communists is really something

This post appeared on my feed. That's the only reason I'm here. Get used to not being popular. This isn't Reddit. No one is going to protect you from not encountering leftists.

We've been around for literally 3 years bro. You're the new kid here.

Also lemmy was literally partially created by our users. You're the one coming into our space.

There's something extremely funny about the president of the US looking at what's going on China and saying out loud, "Their economy is a ticking time bomb." This is almost an onion news story.
