Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin - Novo General Megathread for the 9th-12th of December 2025
Drawing by Natalia Mikhaylenko
Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

If you don't flatten your boxes before putting them in the recycling your spirit is impure. You will not escape samsara
19
NephewAlphaBravo [he/him] - 3day
i nest the unflattened boxes so densely that it's like a solid block of wood, which I will use to shatter the wheel of samsara entirely and free us all
7
RION [she/her] - 2day
Okay nesting is fine you're gonna make it. Really I'm just mad at anyone who makes no effort to reduce the amount of space their boxes take up. Especially with the tiny ass recycling bin at my building. I'm gonna suck up all their loosh

When I was working a kitchen at a college we had a GIANT cardboard dumpster and I didnt want fucking ANYONE crushing their cardboard down and to just leave it on the loading dock so I could spend the last hour of my day outside breaking down boxes (unless it was winter or raining hard). The cardboard dumpster was a great place to hide and nap as well. It had a lid so it wasnt exposed at night and just had dry cardboard boxes in it, super cozy.

Uhhh i uhhh just used normal vegan mayonnaise, added a little bit of soy sauce and some dijon mustard

FumpyAer [any, comrade/them] - 2day
Sounds about right. Come to think of it, the main difference is it adds glutamates.
No current struggle session discussion here on the new general megathread, i will ban you from the comm and remove your comment, have a good day/night :meow-coffee:

Fuck the job market and how the porks engineered society where they can have their cake and eat it too….then play the victim.
Look at work, not only in real terms is labor cheaper than ever, there is a near infinite supply of workers thanks to ai and reserve army of labor bullshit. You see them mutter on how there are too many people who did everything right and now they’re “DrOwNiNg In ApPlIcAnTs!”.
Boo fucking hoo. How are you the victim here? What about me who literally cannot get any employer to notice me? Let alone not tell me to fuck off.

i always have issues with recording. some streamers have a separate rig just to record computer somehow in order to reduce resource usage while playing and streaming at the same time because one computer does the streaming and the other is the one where you play in

This Machine Kills has figured it out. At the start of the latest episode they played a clip of Rogan essentially saying "they didn't say WHAT Jesus would come back as. There's nothing in the bible that says he COULDN'T come back as an AI."
Who is all in on AI? Peter Thiel.
What does AI need? Massive data centres.
Who is trying to stop massive data centres? Raging environmentalists.
Who is the biggest raging environmentalist? Greta Thunberg.
Peter Thiel is trying to bring about AI Jesus and Greta Thunberg is trying to stop him, thus making her the Antichrist.
It all makes sense now.

Get to work, sat down at my desk for a while, all of the sudden notice a bed bug crawling on my shoulder... And it seems like it was hiding in my coat because I saw bites on my neck that weren't there when I left the apartment. Then I check my chair and there's a bed bug shell/casing under one of the cushions. This coat dodged the chemical spray at my apartment because I originally donated it to work before yoinking it back on a cold day.
I feel like such an idiot. My parents asked if I thought it could be coming from work and I said I didn't think so because no one else had reported issues. But then I'm talking with the maintenance guy now and apparently not only are there clients walking in here with bed bugs, they're not keeping up with their regular cleaning of common chairs and such. they do apparently have professionals spray biweekly for pests
12
RION [she/her] - 3day
Okay now I don't know if I was bit or not? My neck doesn't look red anymore maybe it was just some other irritation. Feels like I'm going crazy
Update: I was bit, almost looks like a vampire got me. Man being a vampiric thrall would go so hard right now

RION [she/her] - 2day
It's either heat treatment, chemicals, or a special fungal agent yeah. My apartment was sprayed right before Thanksgiving and except for one night of bites the next Monday (might have been a straggler that immediately expired afterwards from the chemicals) it's been clean since then.

Package was in my city, then got sent to a whole different state, and stopped giving any updates in tracking days ago.
Someone took my EPUB, replaced the cover/frontpage which gave me credit (for the hours I spent on it), and uploaded it to libgen/zlib (annas-archive link.)
How do I know? Besides the structure just... looking like me. It has my little addition
I'm happy that (probably) more people are reading it. But uknow I'll start adding myself as contributor or whatever the correct thing is in the metadata

Lol I caught Rona round 3. Pretty sure I lost my sense of taste for sweet and spicy things. Incredibly strange, I can feel the physical reaction my body has to spicy things but I can't taste it, and for sweet I can aromatically smell it's sweetness but I can't taste shit. Very strange hand I've been dealt this round. Wondering if this'll be permanent or not. Not to much of a biggie.

Youtube is constantly A/B testing, it can really be irritating. I've seen it use two different UI layouts on the same day and the same computer (no login/cleared cookies). I can still adjust speed for now but we'll see if it goes away

Kefla [she/her, they/them] - 2day
Download the video with yt-dlp, play it locally at whatever speed you want
Might be a bit overkill for short videos but it's way better for the sort of longform content where playback speed is a really big deal

I don't watch YouTube for pleasure, and if I did I wouldn't speed it up.
But part of my job is to curate videos to show to an audience so I have to watch them ahead of time, and watching them at 2x means I can do half as much work.

4
LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins [none/use name] - 3day
Garlic and onion is both poisonous to cats but I'm also pretty sure they can handle it in very very small quantities since my cats have definitely eaten stuff with it in it and haven't gotten noticeably sick. But like I definitely don't give them more than like, a taste of whatever food at a time.
Otherwise I still wouldn't feed them too much vegan stuff even without allium since they're obligate carnivores
4
GalaxyBrain [they/them] - 2day
Cats do get stuff out of sweet potato! Its really good for them and they like it a lot. My kitty also loves pumpkin and that's also good for em. If you have non garlic olives they go hard for em cause they have the same psychoactive effect as catnip, no joke. Garlic and chillies are a no go and especially for a stray kitty, a trace amount could be worse for a kitty who's not getting the nest nutrition anyway. Sweet potato and pumpkin mashed wirh a lil olive oil is usually well liked by kitties and gives em a bunch of vitamins they have a harder time getting normally.

Wmill [they/them, fae/faer] - 1day

Serious: good period tracking app?
So yeah, my girlfriend had been using and liking Orchyd for her period tracking, but now they're deleting the app for some reason. She's tried a few open source alternatives like "drip." but not convinced because it doesn't give predictions of ovulation, PMS, etc. After searching for a while with her, some of the most popular good-looking options are paywalled, and we've so far settled on MeetYou, an app I found after looking for "Chinese period app", which seems decent but has ads and it's not open source.

“Markets can predict the weather” shit is so annoying because it’s driven by people who are accurately predicting the weather. It’s not wisdom of the crowds, it’s literally specialized firms that can do predictions relating to a small group of products well, and a bunch of brokerages being able to react to them. Like it’s cool that it can seem like it predicts some random events well, but the causality is backwards.

I'm the newest person at the bjj gym. Rolled tonight with another white belt. Big boy. Dude spammed chokes on me like a motherfucker. Not even like applying gradual pressure, just straight choking that shit. My throat is sore is fuck and it hurts to swallow. Like damn bro, I know you wanted to attempt some shit you saw on tv or youtube or whatever but I gotta work tomorrow.
Conversely, rolling with the blue belts was really enjoyable. Could tell they were going easy on me but still letting me attempt stuff, just not giving up any position.

Yeah, there's definitely a combination of beginners not having proper body control to go easy in training and also people who don't know wtf they're doing feeling like they've got something to prove.
It really sucks when you run into some asshole who is really skilled and an insecure manbaby with something to prove though. Most gyms I've been to know better than to let those shitheads hang around, but of course that means they go form their own gyms and then unsuspecting people walk into the designated shithead gym and just get assaulted under the guise of 'training'
I guess my point is, make sure you've got your eyes open for the shitheads and don't hang around with them, no sense getting hurt in training, that's the opposite of the purpose

When I picture things in my head, I keep thinking Stalin and Fidel Castro are the same person, and Soviet Russia and Cuba are the same country. How do I seperate these people and places in my mind?
If you can't tell, I really don't know much history and could use little bits of info at a time to build more distinct pictures of these two men and countries. If I am to be honest, I'm scared of reading the terrible struggles forced upon them and their people. It makes me very sad, but I will try to at least check a few small things out. I might be too depressed to read almost anything, but I figure there's got to be something for me out there. It'd be nice if I got the fun/happy facts as well as the sad ones.

Stalin died a couple months before the Cuban revolution started. Cuba is a tropical island in the western hemisphere and Russia is a fuck off big country taking up good chunk of the northeastern hemisphere and kinda spilling into other quadrants a bit. Stalin's More Cold and More Old and Castro is More Young in More Sun?
As stated below season 2 of Blowback had ya covered for the Cuban Revolution as well as Castro as an El Presidente to a lesser extent. I dunno where one would find an easy to digest and not mostly incorrect account of Stalin. Dude had a LOT of haters who got publishing deals

While I'm trying to draw a coherent picture of each, maybe footage of them and their countries could help. I think there's vastly different kinds of weather. I know Russia can be snowy and Cuba is very hot. Appearance of common plants, animals, architecture, and machines could look different in each country too as we look at them during each leader's time. Those all could relate back to the needs of people which needed to be met.

Wanna try listening to Blowback season 2 or watching Soy Cuba (Fidel doesn't appear in this movie, but it should give you a pretty visceral sense of what Cuba is like and it's one of the best films of all time)? Blowback S2 is not very heavy compared to most of their other seasons. It's largely focused on the very successful revolutionary movement, with a fair bit of context about what life was like before the revolution which is a bit sad. Soy Cuba is mostly sad, but picks up the tone at parts and it's an optimistic movie at its core.

Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin - Novo General Megathread for the 9th-12th of December 2025
Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

If you don't flatten your boxes before putting them in the recycling your spirit is impure. You will not escape samsara
i nest the unflattened boxes so densely that it's like a solid block of wood, which I will use to shatter the wheel of samsara entirely and free us all
Okay nesting is fine you're gonna make it. Really I'm just mad at anyone who makes no effort to reduce the amount of space their boxes take up. Especially with the tiny ass recycling bin at my building. I'm gonna suck up all their loosh
Its samsara wheels all the way down unfortunately, moksha from one just leads you to the next.
When I was working a kitchen at a college we had a GIANT cardboard dumpster and I didnt want fucking ANYONE crushing their cardboard down and to just leave it on the loading dock so I could spend the last hour of my day outside breaking down boxes (unless it was winter or raining hard). The cardboard dumpster was a great place to hide and nap as well. It had a lid so it wasnt exposed at night and just had dry cardboard boxes in it, super cozy.
1 year already
Last vegan slop drop for the year: shiitake bao buns, sesame dressed green beans and japanese potato salad (which google called poteto sarada but i think that'd sound like im being racist)
What was the recipe for vegan kewpie mayo?
Uhhh i uhhh just used normal vegan mayonnaise, added a little bit of soy sauce and some dijon mustard
Sounds about right. Come to think of it, the main difference is it adds glutamates.

i got a box of those nerds candies somehow. they're extremely sweet, too sweet for my taste. might get mega diabetes if i eat a whole box
Hand em over, I'll eat them for you. And I'll avoid diabetes by being built different
i started liking them :)
also my country has no nerds candies, these were somehow imported and idfk how they got here. it is a sign from the nerdlords
Aren't the boxes like 50g? And yeah the entirety of it is just bits of rock candy with flavoring and glaze.
it is an alien thing in mine country. we do not eat rocks to the level that of americans doth. thine taste buddes are merely weakened, while mine feel even the faintest of experiences. same with my nose, i puke even at the slightest scent of shit smell
It's not like they're any sweeter than any other hard candy.
my tongue is really sensitive ok

People say Charlie Kirk will be missed
He was obviously hit
Maybe he was missed a lot. Like every time he walked outside there were bullets just whizzing past him constantly and that was just the one that finally landed
Fuck the job market and how the porks engineered society where they can have their cake and eat it too….then play the victim.
Look at work, not only in real terms is labor cheaper than ever, there is a near infinite supply of workers thanks to ai and reserve army of labor bullshit. You see them mutter on how there are too many people who did everything right and now they’re “DrOwNiNg In ApPlIcAnTs!”.
Boo fucking hoo. How are you the victim here? What about me who literally cannot get any employer to notice me? Let alone not tell me to fuck off.
my social assistance caseworker is legit a fucking cop asshole piece of shit i'm so fucking done i literally did everything right and she's trying to fuck me over i filled out a form explaining my limitations with my doctor and she's basically ignoring them saying why can't i find a remote job like did you fucking read the form???? you're literally trying to go over my doctors head right now???? i'm so fucking tired and the stress is literally making my chronic pain worse there's just no end to it
Cleveland doesnt get enough shit tbh. They named their NFL team after a family guy side character?! Deeply unserious people.
I be phoning up my dad with
there was this cat I couldn't feed and I feel bad" and he's like it's alright mijo want me to put Linda on the phone (one of our cats) and I don't mean video call I mean phone call. I love my dad for that 
Your dad is cool
He packed me some of the food our cats don't like so kitty got fed 😊
No cap I am good looking enough to be a streamer, only held back by sucky internet and no computer skills, any flaws I have just add to my wonder and stop me from being perfect (unreal)
be a gimmick streamer where the gimmick is the stream barely works but people want to see you, like trying to watch the scrambled tv channels
I like this gimmick ngl
just slap an unregistered hypercam 2 watermark and invest in a bad microphone, boom you are good to be from the late 2000s. that's how i roll
I got a decent enough mic only problem is streaming whatever I play, tried to some friends before and it wasn't great
i always have issues with recording. some streamers have a separate rig just to record computer somehow in order to reduce resource usage while playing and streaming at the same time because one computer does the streaming and the other is the one where you play in

There should be a reality show caes The Wall where each contestant takes the course of a season to build a defensive wall and then it gets attacked by mideval recreationists with a huge budget so they csb build accurate scale siege engines and shit and the best wall wins.
A friend just now: “how do you know who miss rachel is? You don’t have kids!”
Every time a director/writer/producer makes a film about the horrors of false accusations they should get put on a list, and not one of the good lists.
Does this mean that everyone behind Tàr gets to be on the good list?
Oscar nominee is a good lst
This Machine Kills has figured it out. At the start of the latest episode they played a clip of Rogan essentially saying "they didn't say WHAT Jesus would come back as. There's nothing in the bible that says he COULDN'T come back as an AI."
Who is all in on AI? Peter Thiel.
What does AI need? Massive data centres.
Who is trying to stop massive data centres? Raging environmentalists.
Who is the biggest raging environmentalist? Greta Thunberg.
Peter Thiel is trying to bring about AI Jesus and Greta Thunberg is trying to stop him, thus making her the Antichrist.
It all makes sense now.
For some reason the reactionaries are especially active on the fediverse lately.
Candace Owens apparently shifted from Israel killing Charlie Kirk to the French Foreign Legion killing him.
Weird Al singing Killing in the Name Of has to be the clearest sign that the masses are ready to be mobilized that has ever existed in America

Damn it I thought I was being original
No shame in coming up with the same good joke as other people before you knew about it. Thst just means you're funny
Get to work, sat down at my desk for a while, all of the sudden notice a bed bug crawling on my shoulder... And it seems like it was hiding in my coat because I saw bites on my neck that weren't there when I left the apartment. Then I check my chair and there's a bed bug shell/casing under one of the cushions. This coat dodged the chemical spray at my apartment because I originally donated it to work before yoinking it back on a cold day.
I feel like such an idiot. My parents asked if I thought it could be coming from work and I said I didn't think so because no one else had reported issues. But then I'm talking with the maintenance guy now and apparently not only are there clients walking in here with bed bugs,
they're not keeping up with their regular cleaning of common chairs and such.they do apparently have professionals spray biweekly for pestsOkay now I don't know if I was bit or not? My neck doesn't look red anymore maybe it was just some other irritation. Feels like I'm going crazy
Update: I was bit, almost looks like a vampire got me. Man being a vampiric thrall would go so hard right now
isnt it a massive issue if they reproduce because then you have to turn ur house into the boiler room of hell for weeks to get rid of them?
It's either heat treatment, chemicals, or a special fungal agent yeah. My apartment was sprayed right before Thanksgiving and except for one night of bites the next Monday (might have been a straggler that immediately expired afterwards from the chemicals) it's been clean since then.
It's lame as hell that you have to be 35 to be president in America, when the country was founded by 20 year olds
Since the country was younger than 35, all the first handful had waivers on the age requirement

Lol I caught Rona round 3. Pretty sure I lost my sense of taste for sweet and spicy things. Incredibly strange, I can feel the physical reaction my body has to spicy things but I can't taste it, and for sweet I can aromatically smell it's sweetness but I can't taste shit. Very strange hand I've been dealt this round. Wondering if this'll be permanent or not. Not to much of a biggie.
Remembering in the early days of hexbear where a mod here got doxxed because they revealed that their family crest in the old country had a animal on it leading to ppl guessing that their surname was just the name of that animal in german and that along with other information he revealed enabled them to find his LinkedIn
It's pretty impressive the number of people on Hexbear, there's as many active users here as some well-known orgs active membership.
Its such a weird forum and I love that its still here but I did not think like 5 years ago Id still be using it
Dang YouTube just put adjusting the speed of their videos behind a paywall. Genuinely clever move you pieces of shit this is the only thing that has ever made me even consider a paid YouTube subscription
Youtube is constantly A/B testing, it can really be irritating. I've seen it use two different UI layouts on the same day and the same computer (no login/cleared cookies). I can still adjust speed for now but we'll see if it goes away
Download the video with yt-dlp, play it locally at whatever speed you want
Might be a bit overkill for short videos but it's way better for the sort of longform content where playback speed is a really big deal
hasn't visited youtube genuine website in 2 years self-award. What do you use it for that scrolling can't accomplish?
I don't watch YouTube for pleasure, and if I did I wouldn't speed it up.
But part of my job is to curate videos to show to an audience so I have to watch them ahead of time, and watching them at 2x means I can do half as much work.
I need to know how things are said. And yeah visual content too.

One major downside of being vegan is I can't give stray cats any of my food, I'm sorry kitty
I mean, you absolutely CAN, just a matter of SHOULD
Not that I'm allowed to take any of it HOME anymore, but when I DID my big fat cat fuckin loves some sweet potato flatbread
Do they get anything out of it, I'm worried of poisoning them since I eat a lot of garlic and chillies
Garlic is not good for kitties :(
No slop for them then
Garlic and onion is both poisonous to cats but I'm also pretty sure they can handle it in very very small quantities since my cats have definitely eaten stuff with it in it and haven't gotten noticeably sick. But like I definitely don't give them more than like, a taste of whatever food at a time.
Otherwise I still wouldn't feed them too much vegan stuff even without allium since they're obligate carnivores
Cats do get stuff out of sweet potato! Its really good for them and they like it a lot. My kitty also loves pumpkin and that's also good for em. If you have non garlic olives they go hard for em cause they have the same psychoactive effect as catnip, no joke. Garlic and chillies are a no go and especially for a stray kitty, a trace amount could be worse for a kitty who's not getting the nest nutrition anyway. Sweet potato and pumpkin mashed wirh a lil olive oil is usually well liked by kitties and gives em a bunch of vitamins they have a harder time getting normally.
Gonna try that sweet potato and pumpkin w/ olive oil then for my older cats then first
Serious: good period tracking app?
So yeah, my girlfriend had been using and liking Orchyd for her period tracking, but now they're deleting the app for some reason. She's tried a few open source alternatives like "drip." but not convinced because it doesn't give predictions of ovulation, PMS, etc. After searching for a while with her, some of the most popular good-looking options are paywalled, and we've so far settled on MeetYou, an app I found after looking for "Chinese period app", which seems decent but has ads and it's not open source.
What do you beautiful hexbears recommend?
I think there might not be a good one comrade

I'm also (technically) like 4 days late on submitting my critical analysis paper for a class.

So...is Big Boss's actual name John? I always figured both he and Ocelot were lying when they said their 'real' names in mgs3. No fucking way they're gonna doxx themselves.
John Metal Gear, protagonist of Metal Gear
I figured it was a John Doe kinda thing, which Ocelot picked up on and made a hint that he was ADAM the whole time but didnt give a real name either.
“Markets can predict the weather” shit is so annoying because it’s driven by people who are accurately predicting the weather. It’s not wisdom of the crowds, it’s literally specialized firms that can do predictions relating to a small group of products well, and a bunch of brokerages being able to react to them. Like it’s cool that it can seem like it predicts some random events well, but the causality is backwards.

I'm the newest person at the bjj gym. Rolled tonight with another white belt. Big boy. Dude spammed chokes on me like a motherfucker. Not even like applying gradual pressure, just straight choking that shit. My throat is sore is fuck and it hurts to swallow. Like damn bro, I know you wanted to attempt some shit you saw on tv or youtube or whatever but I gotta work tomorrow.
Conversely, rolling with the blue belts was really enjoyable. Could tell they were going easy on me but still letting me attempt stuff, just not giving up any position.
Yeah, there's definitely a combination of beginners not having proper body control to go easy in training and also people who don't know wtf they're doing feeling like they've got something to prove.
It really sucks when you run into some asshole who is really skilled and an insecure manbaby with something to prove though. Most gyms I've been to know better than to let those shitheads hang around, but of course that means they go form their own gyms and then unsuspecting people walk into the designated shithead gym and just get assaulted under the guise of 'training'
I guess my point is, make sure you've got your eyes open for the shitheads and don't hang around with them, no sense getting hurt in training, that's the opposite of the purpose

I'm eternally angry at my city for ruining transit stops in favour of "safety" (hostile anti-homeless architecture).

If you play kiss kiss kiss (yoko) backwards it kinda sounds like "i shot john lennon" which is unfortunate cause Double Fantasy (the album its from) is a bit about their love story and marriage and then he actually was shot a bit after its release
If you can't tell, I really don't know much history and could use little bits of info at a time to build more distinct pictures of these two men and countries. If I am to be honest, I'm scared of reading the terrible struggles forced upon them and their people. It makes me very sad, but I will try to at least check a few small things out. I might be too depressed to read almost anything, but I figure there's got to be something for me out there. It'd be nice if I got the fun/happy facts as well as the sad ones.
Stalin died a couple months before the Cuban revolution started. Cuba is a tropical island in the western hemisphere and Russia is a fuck off big country taking up good chunk of the northeastern hemisphere and kinda spilling into other quadrants a bit. Stalin's More Cold and More Old and Castro is More Young in More Sun?
As stated below season 2 of Blowback had ya covered for the Cuban Revolution as well as Castro as an El Presidente to a lesser extent. I dunno where one would find an easy to digest and not mostly incorrect account of Stalin. Dude had a LOT of haters who got publishing deals
Proles of the round table are doing a 13+(?) episode series on Stalin, from what i hear theyre very good, though not sure if 13 episodes is easy to digest
Never listened so I dunno. My knowledge comes from a variety of bits and pieces over the years and I honestly dont know that much about the guy. Ive read his writings and the broad strokes and sit in the generally in favor group regsrding the guy but in the end I know more about what is commonly believed but isnt true than the full truth.
So you're saying no-one ever saw Stalin and Fidel in the same revolutionary moment? I think I'm picking up what you're putting down...
While I'm trying to draw a coherent picture of each, maybe footage of them and their countries could help. I think there's vastly different kinds of weather. I know Russia can be snowy and Cuba is very hot. Appearance of common plants, animals, architecture, and machines could look different in each country too as we look at them during each leader's time. Those all could relate back to the needs of people which needed to be met.
Wanna try listening to Blowback season 2 or watching Soy Cuba (Fidel doesn't appear in this movie, but it should give you a pretty visceral sense of what Cuba is like and it's one of the best films of all time)? Blowback S2 is not very heavy compared to most of their other seasons. It's largely focused on the very successful revolutionary movement, with a fair bit of context about what life was like before the revolution which is a bit sad. Soy Cuba is mostly sad, but picks up the tone at parts and it's an optimistic movie at its core.
Joey Steel isn't his birth name. Castro's is.
Not to deadname him, but does calling Stalin "Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili" help identify the difference between a Eurasian and a Cuban?
I don’t care whether E33 deserves each of the awards it’s taking I’m annoyed at it for turning what should be a celebration of GAMES into a celebration of GAME

Netflix removed the red N logo from the icons of their IP how am I supposed to efficiently sift past Netflix content on Netflix now
People are still paying for netflix?
I don't but when I went to cancel my partner took up payment because they have reality shows she watches. So I have it anyways, but rarely watch anything on it
You ever just wonder why Melina is the way they are?
sometimes, though i mostly just wish there were better infrastructure to actually get them to stay gone. but without a reddit-tier panopticon of privacy violations i get that permabans can't really be a thing on hexbear. i try not to expend too much curiosity on someone who's harassed 50% of the userbase here over a >half decade period. i do think, though, that leaving open a "containment comm" for them and all their friends to hang out in sends the wrong message to that userbase.

I swear that TrueAnon got banned recently, but it seems they didn't. I'm pretty confident I'm not mixing it up with The Deprogram, so I don't know where I got this from.
They got banned after posting too close to the sun after Oct 7 but then came back up after like a month or something
hmm, that might be it
"E33 has the best narrative in a video game ever" mfers when they play as the goldscale kobolds in Anbennar, struggle to survive the hobgoblin legions, making desperate alliances, and climb the highest mountains and peaks until they found the Gold Dragon, the slayer of ignorance, and dismantle the world strongest empire because he doesn't like its architecture style.

It's interesting, one of the fastest ways to lose a multiplayer video game is to tilt your own team, yet g*mers simply can't help themselves
They would far rather lose than win because if they lose they can blame everyone else and thereby remain the perfect innocent blameless victim who just can't catch a break

its a good thing i have been to the left of mao for decades because i can see how interacting with the identity politics poisoned nu-left causes the unaligned to go to the right. These people on tumblr and bluesky are insufferable idiots and do more harm than good. i become very despondent, like this is the result of a cause being successfully castrated. America is fucked (good) but the people in it are too (mostly bad).
"communication is key" okay, but whats the lock?

"Sorry, I know you like dirty talk but...im not gonna say your dick is better than Season 4 of The Wire. No. Not even as role-play. I can only stretch the truth so far before it becomes absurd. Maybe season 2? What? No, I think thats the 2nd best season baby! Yeah, the cast change is jarring but the events are the catalyst for the rest of the series, I wasnt into it the first warch either but it grows on you. No honey, I was just talking about the show itself, im mot saying your dick is jarring until you get used to it. What about season 3? Can we agree your dick is as good as season 3? I like that one a bit less than 2 myself but if that's what you wanna hear..."
I was unaware that "conquer your demons" meant you should go outside and stab a demon to death. That sounds a lot more doable than self improvement.
Cri du chat is kind of a super messed up name for a disease.
The resident evil movies are the perfect game adaptation because they somehow suffer from ludonarrative dissonance even though it shouldn’t be possible for the medium.

I still find it wild that Trump was so much more willing to do ceasefires in the Middle East than any of the important Democrat politicians. Wild that he could even be close to being the harm-reduction candidate.
Has to be balanced against the internal persecution, but it's hard to say how different that would have been in practice vs. just in optics with KKKopmala. But largely I agree
Getting called a Scrooge for hating christmas is fucking bushit cause I hate it for the exact reason he would fucking love it nowadays. Cause it's an orgiastic frenzy of consumption and grift. Rich fuckers love christmas, capitalists from the biggest to smallest probably love it more than anyone cause they're taking the cash from our pockets by the truckload. I am a GRINCH motherfuckers! I want to take every representation of christmas to the top of a montain and hurl it off.
I think it would be cool for the smaller comms to have month-long megathreads that are only pinned in the comm, not sitewide.
I need a fucking portable tire pump with a straight connector on it because the L shaped plugs won't fit between the hubcaps on my partner's car but searching for that shit on amazon or whatever just yields a bunch of straight connection ADAPTERS AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I FUCKING WANT I NEED A TIRE PUMP THAT IS THE SAME AS THE ONE THAT I HAD THAT BROKE

I don't really aim to keep my doors unlocked, but I do leave them that way occasionally and it's never been a problem, it's just so rare for people I don't know to come by. The last "random" person to try my door was already in my phones contacts, even. I've been burglarized before, but never here.
I sometimes forget to lock the door on the way to the grocery store or something. Never been a problem here either. I've never experienced a burglary, never heard of one in the entire neighborhood. One time like 15 years ago my car was unlocked and somebody dug through everything overnight presumably hoping to find cash, drugs, or valuables and didn't bother taking anything that was in there. That's the closest I've got. A thief who doesn't even want what I've got lmao
Oh yeah, almost that exact same car thing has happened to me too, not where I live now though. I'm lucky enough to not need a car anymore, I find driving so unpleasant, it's a shame it's a necessity in so many places.
I did get my car stolen once, but I'd had it for decades so it was a bit of a junker, so they just took it for a joyride, stole the doors, and basically brought it back, to a few blocks away. If I remember right the doors were technically worth more than the rest of the car, because of the spare parts market or something?
Back when I had a car, I once had the hood stolen. Just the hood, nothing inside, nothing that stopped it from running, car wasn't moved an inch.

Did it deserve to practically sweep the awards, while other notable games from this year did not receive the recognition they deserve? Probably not.

so I hit a button that gives me -15% bureaucracy in exchange for the rural folk not opposing me passing this law, well guess what? I got -15% bureaucracy and they're still opposing passing the law!
oh, and cool, they made it start with Great Britain possessing Fernando Po instead of Spain? For some fucking reason? so now Great Britain is just going to beat me to colonizing West Africa 100% of the time now instead of just 80%? cool great game
