I remember these guys coming to my school and dumping a bunch of sand on the table. It was supposed to be impressive or something. They were sold as exiled monks who just wanted to be holy and practice their religion. It was dumb. The world wasn’t going to be worse off without their sand art and if they wanted to do it and we cared so much they could do it here, but it didn’t seem reasonable at the time that China was banning sand art or quietly humming to yourself. I found a video of the Dali Lama and didn’t see a man with sacred knowledge. The idea of picking some random child to be the pope of the mountain was never sufficiently romantic enough to make me care.

It’s like the people who say China was oppressing them for doing yoga in the park. “That’s all we were doing, I swear”. You’ve got to be a certain kind of person to buy this.

I’m going to Cuba just as soon as my passport comes in. I’m so done. There’s not much left to save here.

// as an aside, I just watched the last of us. Great show, but this sort of world isn’t what people here think people would be like after the apocalypse. It’s how they think they already are. It’s not just the government that’s the problem. There’s something wrong with people. They are stupid, pig-headed, servile, fantasy minded people who hate and fear everything and everyone but their masters. The whole lot of them, and there’s nothing to be done about it.

It’s basically the same as wearing a kilt.

Lol. I love this new Mexico. NAFTA days are over

If you buy a digital book you should rip it and share it.

A nice long terror is essential to longevity

I’m sure it’s helped Africa to decide who to align with

Better to drop it. You made a dumb comment. We all do it. Trying to defend a bad position is a bad habit.

JFK is running I’ll vote for JFK: back for blood.

This is not the way brother. Come with me. I will show you the way.

The web should be broken into nooks of a thousand gardens. The superficial web should be entirely smashed. The majority of the web should be crazy, personally hosted websites off of someones personal computer. There should be no more cloud, no more server farms. We should land an artillery shell into the middle of google’s, facebook’s, etc, warehouse and see what happens.

It’s a sin to speak that name in vain

Steam and emulators work great but somethings are more complicated. As far as games your confined inside the steam environment unless you’re willing to do extra work.

It doesn’t contain nuclear components because we defined it to be outside of the definition of nuclear components. Just like the US isn’t involved in gain-of-function because it would defined beyond the definition. That’s how they smugly say their bullshit thinking anyone else is going to play their game

Are you really going for the fact that they aren’t using s,d,p orbits? You can still use a simple orbital map where it’s practical to do so, the only thing that maters at most levels is the outside orbital and how far it is from complete in which direction. But it’s an artistic depiction of an atom. You can find pictures that have the same structure. It’s meant to be immediately recognizable. If you were going to be critical it would be for how bloated the nucleus is. You wouldn’t do that though because it’s an artistic depiction. It’s not trying to convey an accurate model of an atom. It’s trying to model a geopolitical relation while harking to the atomic model.

First you misidentify it as planetary and now you’re saying that the problem is that it isn’t accurate enough. Talk about a headache

It’s atomic

Yeah it’s a Chinese show

This all reminds me of petition.org. let’s all sign a petition to have Putin arrested and have Russia pay to rebuild Ukraine. That’ll show them. We’re doing something guys

It’s a tv show about the anticorruptiom bureau. It’s on youtube

What do you think? You think with all the meth in the US we’d be the most revolutionary society.

It’s just going to rot your brain, no matter how great it makes you feel. You’re going to spend all night tinkering, busily spinning in circles and getting nowhere. By the end of it you’ll be jerking your head, looking for phantoms. That’ll be the end of it for you one way or the other.

I do that sometimes to avoid popups or article subscription locks

It’s all fun and games until the grass is staring at you.

“I, as most people, assumed the banks weren’t interested in playing stupid games after 2008”

I don’t remember that being the common consensus.

No

I think it will come back. They have a memory of the Soviet Union. They have the largest communist party inside of capitalist nation. They’ve already nationalized, centralized their core economy, though privatized government-bourgeois relations still exist. Primarily they’re tying themselves to China. Capitalism insures itself with NATO terror. If Russia started massacring communists, China wouldn’t be backing those massacres up. They’re in a position were capital is forced to capitulate to socialism.

Socialism is guaranteed simply by not having an external terror campaign.

Yeah that was great

The left most picture has Trump with three legs, simultaneously moving backwards and forwards. The cop in the foreground is reaching through perspective to grab Trumps dick. The right most cop is in his own world, freakishly in focus, and can’t be placed anywhere in the physical world.

The other picture also makes no sense of the same reasons. Legs look twisted and broken. The cop seems to grab hold of Trumps leg at the knee for it to spill over into a liquid before reforming in a totally wrong position. And physically it would make no sense to have your hand there.

The images are painful to look at. Arguing whether they’re convincing is so far afield as to be confusing.

I started watching “in the name of the people” on youtube, but I’ve been too busy with other things to watch much since the last time this came up

The problem here is genocide, them barely speaking the same language, or sharing the same culture with proletarian Mexico, or even rural Mexico for that matter.

All of these things that you want to have happened have happened Mexico and exist in the Mexican under currents.

Why are you putting all of the eggs in one basket as if the rest of Mexico had no sense of self or class conscience? It’s because you don’t know what you’re talking about. All you know is the Zapatistas so you expect a bunch of indians in the jungle with no industrial base or capacity to wage an armed struggle against a far greater foe.

Again, Mexico has a massive history of socialism, ML, strikes, general coalitions, and everything else you’d be expecting but you don’t know that.

You don’t know anything about Mexico but you read a thing on the internet. It’s not even that you put too much weight into some hold-out indigenous movement; it’s that you do it at the expense of the rest of Mexico.

Mexico in general has a much greater history of general strikes and coalitions between the various groups: peasants, peons, slum dwellers, industrialists, teachers, students, christian, Marxist.

They also have a much greater history of state repression.

If you’re going to be skeptical, be skeptical of your own expectations of others and mind to your own affairs.

You don’t sound like you understand Mexico. It sounds like you just heard about the Zapatas from the internet and excited yourself without any due regard for the history from the civil war onward. Now you’re frustrated that reality doesn’t align with your misconception.

That’s not the Zapatatista’s fault. That’s your fault. They’ve been alive before you and regardless of you.

Zapata was a socialist alive at about the same time as Lenin with Zapata and Poncho Villa being around the same time as the Russian Revolution. The PRI (party of institutionalized revolution) is comparable to the provisional government of the bourgeoisie in Russia. Mexico is it’s own thing with it’s own history. It makes sense that Zapata be held up as a national hero in Mexico and not be subordinated to foreign revolutionaries of his own time.

At a certain point action and behavior matters more than the name you call yourself.

Who exhibits their leader as a frightened child? I remember this when it was in the news

It’s insane Linux is still at 2%. There are distributions that are more user friendly than Windows. They come with preinstalled tools that meet user needs you didn’t even know existed. Linux, as it stands today, is better than Windows in every category, not even considering all of the reasons to not use Windows. So why is Windows still dominating the PC space? Maybe because this shift in layman-utility is only a few years old, you often have to go out of your way --requiring the knowledge of how to install an OS – to use Linux, pre-builds mask the cost of Windows and remove the choice, and a general bias against the unfamiliar.

I generally will do a lot manually, say I download a movie using transmission. Those torrent files are under ~/hrd/downloads/transmission

I have to leave that file there exactly as it is for it to seed, but I don’t want it there, I don’t like it’s name, and I don’t like the extra files.

ls *string*

ln “name” ../../movies/“new name”

Now I have two files of the same inode (taking up a single amount of physical space), one readable and one serving the purpose of seeding.

I wouldn’t do this for everything but for things I want to keep more permanently.

It also serves another purpose: I can delete the file from the Transmission directory and it will still exist in the Movie directory, since an inode isn’t overwritten unless it has zero files pointing to it, so hard-linking provides an extra level of redundancy to prevent accidental erasure.

This is also useful for indexing and creating playlists.

celluloid .cel/unleashthearchers &

Instead of

celluloid ~/hrd/music/unleash_the_archers/*/*.{flac,mp3} &

I’d be careful with /media since /media isn’t automatically mounted on boot, and is customarily used for temporary filesys. If you soft-linked to media the link would appear broken if the device was missing, usb, cd, external. If you have a permanent drive in media you should move it to mnt.

mkdir /mnt/“name”

lsblk

# find /dev for /media – dev/sda2 mounted at /media/“user”/“name” –

unmount /dev/“name” # if mounted

mount /dev/“name” /mnt/“name”

# For instance

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/“name”

Alternatively use the gui. Mine is called “disks” and works well.

If you prefer bash it’s important that you make the directory you intend to mount the device to first, as you can only mount to an existing, empty directory.

But soft-linking to media will end up with broken links, which, at the very least, will look ugly.

I think I saw it in theaters and liked it. It was the first ‘found footage’ film I had seen, and the only one that really caught me

Things just are

Imagine if 55% of the press followed the same line

Spanish very slowly. I think it’s important to be able to speak with the rest of America. But it’s the hardest thing I’ve put myself to.

Lol without a doubt
