Find what braincells you got left and rub them together and maybe you'll be able to make some real points.

Just steal them from Hobby Lobby. They don't have anti-theft towers or LP.
Edit: also if you want a nice back patch but the band you like doesn't make them you can buy a T-shirt, cut the graphic, sew it on, and go over it with clear nail polish or something similar and voila. Or you could staple it on if your hand starts to hurt from hand sewing a whole back patch on, not recommended but it's what I ended up doing when I was a punk kid.
Edit edit: You can also fill in empty space with safety pins, they look edgy but they also serve a practical purpose if any of your patches (or someone else's) start to come off.

No one cares to know what you mean because you're treating political ideology like theme park attractions, like a child.

I have a hand-me-down from a friend, it's pretty nice but I hardly ever use it in handheld mode which is where it really shines. I use it docked with a kbm+monitor setup. I am using a 4k monitor that I found for free in a Walmart, but I don't know if it was the optimal choice. The Steam Deck was really only ever intended to play games at 720p or 1080p so I ended up lowering my resolution a pretty large amount just to maintain 30fps in more modern games.
I like it overall though. It runs everything I need to run at a fine enough level and using it has taught me a lot about Linux, it's a very fun computer. I don't know if I would pay for it personally because I'm broke as fuck but I appreciate owning it.

Here's my advice for you as someone that's worked in a few factories and a warehouse: Get insoles for your shoes if you can, they'll help a lot. Prioritize protein dense foods, maybe take a shake to work. I basically abused acetaminophen when I was working my 12hr shifts, try not to poison yourself with painkillers. Some factories or warehouses have massage chairs in the break/lunch rooms, if your's does remember to use it! A little less ethical depending on how your factory handles breaks but try to take a little extra time than you're allowed if you can. In the same vein, if you have time to clean you have time to lean! Take every chance you can to rest.
You said you're in storage and I don't know what that means specifically but in any case, optimize your movements, especially if you're palletizing or something. Do not twist your body left or right to lift, remember to use your legs to lift, and keep objects in your power zone! The core of factory and warehouse work is about optimizing your movements to minimize pain and last longer.
Oh also if you can sneak earbuds into work and you're able to do your work safely with them, use music or podcasts to power through the shift. My best shifts were when I was able to sneak my wireless earbuds onto the factory floor. If that's not possible for you I'd recommend getting some nice reusable earplugs. They should be more comfortable and more effective than whatever your work is giving you, if they are anyways. Save your hearing!
And one more thing, remember to be careful outside of work too. Something as small as an RSI in your wrist can be enough to not make it through a shift, jeopardizing your job. That's all the advice I have, stay strong comrade.

This is probably eventually gonna get to the Toki Pona community I tried to get going and I'm fine with it, I tried getting it off the ground but obviously there just isn't a big enough audience for it.

I'd like to add context here that they're talking about the Assassin's Creed controversy, not actually hate crimes against Asian americans or anything of the sort. You can confirm this by looking at their Reddit account where they've posted about it and then regurgitated this exact comment into a post on /r/TheDeprogram.

There's still coercive sterilization being done too. Doctors on reservations are quick to pitch sterilizing procedures for women for issues that can be resolved in other ways.

Correction on blood quantum: the vast majority of tribes still rely on blood quantum for enrollment. The requirement can range anywhere from 1/32 to 1/2. Blood quantum is still in use because it's often a necessity to receive federal recognition that opens up the tribe to certain forms of economic support. Most tribes that use blood quantum also require proof of lineal descent. There is a movement to do away with blood quantum in favor of lineal descent as more of us wake up to it's genocidal purpose. But this is a slow battle as we still have to get this knowledge into the minds of our comrades and then past our tribe governments, councils, etc. which tend to be stacked with corrupt liberals.

Yeah the school's grants were embezzled by some dude and then they didn't meet the minimum amount of students so they were shut down. It was a pretty awesome school besides that, I enjoyed learning there.
Hey comrades, I'm thinking about getting a degree. About 7-8 months ago I made a post asking about the process of obtaining citizenship in China and I was met with the expected response that I should continue my education if I wished to stay there long-term. Initially I dismissed the advice and just put away the idea of living in China long-term, but in the past few months I think I've come around to continuing my education. This is a big deal for me, I dropped out of highschool when I was 18 and just two years from graduation because the school I was going to would shut down and I couldn't stomach starting over again at a new school in the middle of the George Floyd Riots and the COVID-19 Pandemic. I eventually tried to finish my highschool diploma but when the school went under a bunch of my credits just vanished into thin air and I was looking at another 3½ years of highschool so I gave up again. Now I'm 23 and with the support of my comrades on the commune I am finally feeling confident about picking up my schooling again, I'm planning on biting the bullet on the GED (which I should have done in the first place instead of going for the highschool diploma) and applying for college. I'm looking at mycology, I've had an interest in it since I was 18 and I love microscopic organisms. Fungi are extremely interesting to me and I'd love to learn more about them in ways that are not from the pervasive pop-science or spiritual/psychedelic angles that dominate in the West. I just wanted to share this with others, I'm excited and I've already started crawling through my old textbooks!

The controls are slightly different and there's little bits of QOL over the classic version too, but yeah it's basically the same game and the developers are working hard to keep them at pace with one another for people interested but not willing to commit to the $30. The remaster also has an ASCII mode which I like for whenever I wanna play a little old-school. :)

Try to solve it yourself before revealing the answer! ::: spoiler Answer ___ The first portion "他涉嫌犯罪.” is "Tā shèxián fànzuì." or "He is suspected of commiting a crime." The second portion "犯罪头目!" is "Fànzuì tóumù!" or "Crime boss!" :::
i think the ingredients bit is very funny lol
"owe is a joke word used to satirize Orwellian and totalitarian concepts and accusations. It was coined by nano in 2021. Its sitelen pona glyph is derived from the glyph for lukin with emitters above, representing the global surveillance of the fictional Oceanian government in Nineteen Eighty-Four. As a number word, it may refer to the quantity of 1984, especially when referring to the year, as in *tenpo sike nanpa owe.*" Taken from the sona.pona.la article [here.](https://sona.pona.la/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four#owe)
I just wanted to express my appreciation to everyone here for making Lemmygrad what it is. I love reading your analyses and seeing the memes you share. You always make me feel better and give me the motivation to keep fighting when something horrible is going on in our world. No other online Marxist community has been such a positive influence on my life like this one has, love you all very much. <3
There was a translation project a while back trying to translate The Communist Manifesto into Toki Pona and the folks working on it eventually decided to simply tokiponize communism into nasin Komunisi, and I think it makes a lot of sense personally. Communism seems like one of those concepts that benefits from clarity. Someone said "doesnt make sense to me to tokiponize 'communist' [because] you wouldnt tokiponize 'commune'" but I don't agree with this because while yes all communes are kulupu, not all communes are kulupu pi nasin Komunisi (I'm not good with grammar but I hope you can see what I was going for.) Furthermore there are many languages that do not have their own word for communism and instead choose to alter the word such as the Spanish translation to "comunismo." I think while it's true that a hypothetical native Toki Pona speaker may not have come up with the term for communism on their own, that they would still benefit from having a clear term for it. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts as I am still super duper rusty with Toki Pona since coming back to it for the first time in like 4-5 years!
# We need your help! I am suddenly responsible for 3 new baby goats and probably 2 more on the way so I urgently need help sorting this community out! I'll list things out that need fulfilling and you can comment or DM me here or on matrix to volunteer in whatever capacity you're comfortable with! - Weekly threads, we're looking for someone to come up with weekly thread topics or discussions in or about Toki Pona. - Matrix set-up/moderation, I am not very proficient in Matrix and would like a hand making sure things are operating smoothly. - Sidebar renovation, we're looking for a somewhat fluent speaker to prepare a sidebar in English and Toki Pona to keep things accessible for comrades that don't understand English but know Toki Pona! I think that's all I can think of for the moment but if anyone has any tasks they'd like to work on for this community lets talk about it! Thank you everyone for showing an interest in this community! Remember we have our brand new Matrix [here.](https://matrix.to/#/#toki-pona:genzedong.xyz)
