I bake with and can a lot apples -- an apple peeler is the fastest way to peel, core, and slice an apple.

It just comes down to having the space and "need" to justify buying one.

It's 11 paragraphs -- click to expand.

Non-credible defense. It's a millitary/conflict themed shit-posting community that started on on Reddit

The most active NCD lemmy community is on noncredibledefense@lemmy.world

We clearly have fundamental, serious issues -- but you'd have to be completely delusional if "actual millitary strength" is something you think the USA lacks and Russia is anyway comparable. They're in a stalemate with with a small country using 40 year old western equipment.

I mean ... calling Russia's military a "peer" is a stretch.

Are you talking about The Last Generation Chick Tract?

My personal favorite is Dark Dungeons.

There's actually quite a few at the federal level -- not enough, but they exist. There's a decent overview of the federal labor laws available here. Individual states also have additional laws, and shockingly "liberal" (in the American sense) states tend to have stronger worker protections than "conservative" ones.

Of course scumbag employers count on most people not knowing those laws or how to report violations and will actively push misinformation about them.

Edit:

As a bonus, have a Walmart anti-union propaganda training video, because Walmart cares about you..

Or you could file a complaint with the DOL and let them take care of it -- they do not fuck around.

Except ... they do. Since 2020

I'm not saying in actual use it's reliable, but then again that's true of every country's ICBC interception capabilities. Missile guidance tech is one of the things the USA has an edge in.

I have to ask: WTF is up with this =>

The British communists, you mean? The ones that were pissed that the Soviets were violently crushing other communists for daring to object to their oppression? The ones that coined a term for their fellow Brits out of disgust that they were cheering it on?

Oh, I'm aware. There is drama to be had if that's what you want.

The nice thing about movements is you get to pick who you work with. You get small groups that do 99% of the meaningful work and a large "groups" that are just involved to make noise, feel like they did something, and accomplish ... absolutely nothing. The worst are the kind that want to raise "awareness" for something that everyone is already aware of, followed by the people that are just pissed off and can't be bothered to do anything productive with that anger.

Stick with the former: they're cool and they get shit done.

Well, the "real world" labor movement and activism is a great way to make all kinds of friends. A lot of socialists and a few communists, given the history of the movements. They tend to be actual adults too -- so very little drama.

I'm just glad I outgrew my "angsty teenage communist" phase where I was just an ass on the internet. Blindly quoting Marx with no self awareness or understanding of context. Hell, blindly quoting Marx before I realized sometimes even decent, intelligent people can have great ideas but still get parts wrong: he was a man, flawed as any of the rest of us.

Ha, could you imagine?

Authoritarianism:

A form of government in which the governing body has absolute, or almost absolute, control. Typically this control is maintained by force, and little heed is paid to public opinion or the judicial system.

A form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution or laws or opposition etc.).

Maybe something was lost in translation, but I don't care if Marx himself descended from the heavens and tattooed that on my forehead: no. Anyone willingly to unquestioningly submit to authority isn't worthy of consideration or respect. Leaders need to be questioned and held to law and decency. My issue is with the people that follow leaders that don't head the will and well being of others.

I'll happily be an "enemy" of anyone that takes issue with that.

If you say something entirely different that what you said, it has an entirely different meaning

Brilliant.
