    After a meeting in China, the leader of the DA (white liberal political party in South Africa, part of the coalition government, foreign policy usually consists of copying whatever the US does) actually backed down on the issue of Taiwan and changed their position to be more in line with China. So anything is possible these days.

  • could it be the thing we've known about for over half-a-century* coming to roost in the ways we basically projected it would?

    If the religious YanKKKees had any self-awareness, they'd probably consider their country "Babylon" or the antichrist.

    In Rastafarian circles, the imperialism by the USA and Western society ( culturally, politically, and economically) is referred to as "Babylon".

  • Seeing all the TERFs/SWERFs made me wonder, has there been [B]lack [E]xclusionary [R]adical [F]eminists in the past?
  • aaaaaaadjsf aaaaaaadjsf Now 100%

    I mean the vice president of the United States, in Kamala Harris, literally went on the presidental debate stage and told lies about how Palestinian men/Hamas members sexually assaulted Israelis. "Feminists" fear mongering about non-white men is a tale as old as time itself, and sadly is still popular today, hell it's still part of the mainstream political consensus in the USA, from the "progressive" Democratic party.

  • Is Samsung S24 ultra good
  • aaaaaaadjsf aaaaaaadjsf Now 100%

    Yeah of course it's going to be good, it's the flagship Samsung phone along with the Fold series. The camera, screen, and performance will be top of the line. The main question you should be asking is if it's good enough to justify the price you're going to pay for it, it's a pretty expensive phone.

    I found the chapters on the three Abrahamic religions to be very insightful. Marxism, metaphysics and religion surprisingly working well together. I think I've linked a copy of the full book somewhere else in this thread if you you want to read it.

    The enabler-abuser dynamic is one of those things that once you see it for the first time, you'll start seeing it everywhere. From personal to the political. And yes, it's the perfect example of how politics shift further rightward in times of crisis.

    I swear to god these people would rather die than acknowledge climate change can affect them too picard

    You know they think climate change is something that only affects the third world, if they even acknowledge climate change is real.

    Also shouldn't it be the other way round? Let AI and robots do all the "boring" and "gross" tasks necessary for survival and modern civilization to exist like plumbing, so that people can spend their time being creative and learning new things?

    I like to say it's akin to leaving a set of keys for your front door of your house underneath a pot plant, as some people do so that they can let others access their home while they're away. All it takes for a thief to enter is to know where that set of keys are hidden, or to look under all of your pot plants.

    Yeah we only really know what got hit at one of the three airbases, and 1 of 5 targets total, due to the censorship. But I think there is enough video evidence to state two things. Tel Nof, with all the secondary explosions on video, probably got it even harder than Nevatim, which is why we have no satellite imagery of Tel Nof, and that the attack on Mossad HQ was largely unsuccessful, probably due to two things: Iran not firing many missiles at it because it's in a civilian area, and Israel prioritising interceptions over Mossad HQ.

    I think it's to do with the normalisation of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, which were quite close to happening at the time of October 7. If such a thing had happened, the fate of the Palestinian people would essentially be sealed, similar to the fate of other colonised populations in the past. In that way you could say it was pre-emptive, to prevent such an act from occurring.

    I just posted the section in another reply. It's not really about the holy wars, but about Christianity as a whole and how it breaks from Judaism in key areas.

    It's not the debunked claims. As someone that did compete in sports in high school (albeit poorly), the story does check out. Sports organisations are underfunded and end up becoming circular/annulation like organisations in which athletes parents, loved ones, family, etc get involved and take up senior positions. I've seen it happen before. Even outside of my personal experiences, the stories about athletes having one of their parents as a head coach are pretty infamous, or just famous, depending on how good the athlete is. I don't think anyone cares that Armand Duplantis' coach is his dad for example, he's the world record holder. However, you could argue that when this happens in more "subjective" sports, that there is a high potential for cheating, especially in organisational positions outside of coaching. There's a strong argument there.

    All this is common knowledge amongst anyone that's competed in higher level sports. Also the end of this video is hilarious and dripping in irony. ::: spoiler spoiler the end of the video The end of the video is basically an advertisement for Conte's new doping regiment he primarily uses with boxers, while he very unconvincingly fakes repentance and being an anti doping advocate :::

    As someone that always got the creeps from this guy and got tired of seeing him all over social media promoting his nonsense with his whole "I'm a professor at Stanford" act, this article is cathartic and somewhat vindicating to read. The long and the short of it is that while preaching self control, cutting out toxicity from your life, and creating peace, he proceeded to have affairs with five or six different women at the same time, with unprotected sex and potential spreading of STDs/STIs, along with cheating on the woman he was trying to have a child with, as well as ghosting pretty much everyone in his life constantly. He also made up a dubious backstory to hide the nepotism that allowed him to have a career at Stanford: > What does seem certain is that in his adolescence, Andrew became a regular consumer of talk therapy. In therapy, one learns to tell stories about one’s experience. A story one could tell is: I overcame immense odds to be where I am. Another is: The son of a Stanford professor, born at Stanford Hospital, grows up to be a Stanford professor. For context with this paragraph, Huberman talks about the benefits of therapy all the time: > Andrew’s relationship to therapy remains intriguing. “We were at dinner once,” says Eve, “and he told me something personal, and I suggested he talk to his therapist. He laughed it off like that wasn’t ever going to happen, so I asked him if he lied to his therapist. He told me he did all the time.” As a summary for how his podcast is filled with projection: > With repeated listening to the podcast, one discerns a man undergoing, in public, an effort to understand himself. There are hours of talking about addiction, trauma, dopamine, and fear. Narcissism comes up consistently. One can see attempts to understand and also places where those attempts swerve into self-indulgence.

    Can't believe this song is almost 16 years old, the lyrics are just heartbreaking in modern context, especially this part: >And Mary and David smoke dung in the trenches While Zion's behavior never gets mentioned The writings, on your wall And the blood on the cradle And the ashes you wade through Got you calling God's name in vain Leaved the damned to damn it all It's only gotten 100 times worse since the 2008 Gaza war

    Never heard this version of the song until today. It has the introduction from the original version, and the guitar solo at the end from the first redux version. This now makes it the best version of the song.

    [Part 2]( https://youtu.be/CXqjewDACDE) [Part 3]( https://youtu.be/Xn4tBl2IedI) Very interesting comments on Eastern Europe being the Latin America of Germany, and neoliberalism being dead from 2008 onwards, and the ongoing death of neoliberalism leading to more future conflicts as the imperial core tries to maintain balance. And how social democracy cannot win under current conditions in the imperial core. Parts 2 and 3 talk about different issues like the EU and liberation in Asia, Latin America and Africa

    Wasn't sure what picture to lead with so.. [Another pasta pic](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/DgNup15rIi.jpg) [Picture of final dish](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/9flseCDoo6.jpg) Decided to mix some lemon zest into the pasta dough as well for that extra lemon flavour. Will post the recipe if anyone is interested.

    A dessert typically associated with bisexuals on the internet, they're actually pretty delicious and not that difficult to make. **Ingredients:** 1 cup Butter, Vegan comrades can use vegan butter as an alternative, if you can't find it at a store you can make your own using plant based milk and various instructions online (I'm not vegan so I can't comment on how to do this), ½ cup Sugar 2 cups flour, gluten or wheat free comrades can use coconut or rice flour, or a mixture of the two (my preferred method when making for wheat allergic friends, I'm not gluten/wheat free myself),  ½ teaspoon vanilla essence/extract (optional), 4 Eggs, Vegans can replace this with 2 to 2  ½ cups of coconut milk, 1 ½ cups of sugar, ¼ cup flour, gluten free comrades can use the same substitute as before and vegans can replace this with corn starch/flour as it binds to the coconut milk better, Enough lemons to make between  ½ to 1 cup of lemon juice, usually between 2 to 4 lemons based on personal preference. A bit of confectionery sugar to sprinkle on top (optional). **Directions** Step 1 Pre Heat oven to 180°C (about 350°F). Step 2 Line the bottom of a 23 by 33 centimeter (9 by 13 inches) or similar size oven proof container/pan/dish with baking paper or a little bit of butter and flour or non stick spray to prevent the base from being stuck to the bottom. Step 3 In a bowl using a whisk, mixer or blender, blend together the butter/vegan butter, 2 cups flour/gluten free substitute, 1/2 cup sugar and optional vanilla essence/extract . Do not melt the butter before mixing as this will make the crust less flaky and compact. Press and compact into the bottom of the pan/dish. Step 4 Bake the base for 10 to 15 minutes in the oven, or until the edges start getting golden and the middle is firm. In a bowl, mix together the 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour/corn flour/gluten free substitute. Whisk in the 4 eggs/coconut milk and lemon juice, made by cutting open the lemons and juicing them into a cup, and using a sieve to filter out the seeds and "flesh" while adding to the mix . Pour over the baked base/crust. Step 5 Lower the oven temperature by 10°C/20°F and bake for 20 minutes in the oven. Leave the bars to cool a bit before cutting them into squares or rectangles or what ever shape you want really (Anarchy means no rules!!!:anarchy: ). If you want you can sprinkle a bit of confectionery sugar on top (I don't like doing this). If you like them cool and want them to firm up more you can store them in the fridge. And you're done! Eat away. Hope everyone enjoyed that one! If the ingredients are too expensive or the recipe is too large remember you can halve the quantity of all ingredients and use a smaller container to make less lemon bars. Cheers and lots of appreciation and love to everyone!
