Rub the blade into fecal matter, wait till she nods off and then stab deeply before quickly returning to the hut. Repeat a few times.

Now just wait for the sepsis to kick in and collect the prize.

Violence against nazis ought to be legal. These are monsters who have committed genocide and routinely kill their target demographics. Punching a nazi is self-defence, this lady is a fucking hero.

  1. You are being needlessly confrontational. Not everything is a fight and not everyone is against you.
  2. I don't see this as propaganda either way. You have a guy fed up with war having witnessed his friends violent deaths trying to get away from all the killing. It's melancolic in a way that shows how we aren't supposed to be doing this, and that we are hurting ourselves in this conflict.

I used to work for this major company, biggest in my country by far.

Whether it was going well or poorly, they tended to offer severance packages to "cut back" on their staff, to appease the grotesquely overpaid consultants that analysed their finances.

What tended to happen, was that the most qualified people, who had no issues finding another job (often better paying), took those packages (I took home a one year salary after having worked there almost three, then had two months vacation and started a better paying job), which left those who didn't really have other options, those who did the bare minimum and had a lot of useless meetings.

I guess that's what reddit is heading for. They are alienating those who contribute the most, the content creators, the mods and the ones who like to engage others. They will be left with their bots, lurkers, racists, reposters and porn-spammers.

Good riddance.

 

I am about to finish Will Wight's Waybound, and it's just an adrenaline fueled blast of a conclusion to a series that I was not prepared to enjoy as much as I have.

I'd love some suggestions for progression fantasy series like Cradle, so if you have any please let me know!

While I have to admit that I've been frustrated by the tankies during my short stay on lemmy.ml, I don't think that's a fair representation of their views.

Most I believe seem frustrated by a western world that seem entirely too content in accepting a narrative heavily biased in favor of laissez-faire capitalism and right wing narratives, to the extent that it has blinded them to the cruelty of regimes in China and Russia.

I think that in order to foster a fruitful discussion here and avoid the trenches that often form between differing political views on the web, trying first to understand and empathise with an opposing view is crucial. It's been a good heuristic for me at least, except in those cases where there is zero intention of even trying to understand each other (where just ignoring works well).

Considering that Reddit's capitalist shenanigans is what brought redditors here, having socialist devs is not necessarily a bad thing.

You'd probably also be shocked at how many communists are strongly involved in FOSS development, and just how nice and great people they are on average.

In any case, don't worry too much about it, their software is open source so if they suddenly turn evil, a fork is enough to fix it.
