my 2c as someone who isn’t in a position to give financial aid but could help with some things like helping teach skills, review CVs, drive someone places, be a fake reference, help with shopping etc, potentially put someone up short term, and the like:

• the comm seems to incentivise only financial aid. Fine, money solves a lot of problems, wish I had more.

• Because of the competitive nature of posting users seem incentivised to dramatise their needs. Some posts have seemed medically implausible, which does not mean someone doesn’t need help it just makes it hard to understand where you can be effective and potentially drowns out folks presenting their needs in a more low key fashion.

• People don’t list the currency they need which makes it hard to know if you can afford to help

• One off vs expected chronic needs are not differentiated. Stuff like “For the forseeable future I need a place to live” and “I am sick and need cash to see a doctor” have vastly different scopes and solutions, and put very different degrees of obligation on someone willing and able to help.

I dunno what the solution is, life is hard as fuck. Hoping there’s a way to help more people get what they need.

Like I said, paper might be friendly idk. But hankies are effective either way.

You can put lavender oil on them and RP a Victorian Lord among the peasants.

I don’t want to cramp your style bro, but I know that making clothing from bamboo involves some pretty intense chemistry and that the waste isn’t kept in a closed system. I don’t know of paper has the same issues, like whether it’s in making a polymer fibre that they go nuts or digesting those sick arse culms

There’s nothing more brawsome than working out your hygiene brosem. You can’t hit the gym if you’re sick.

Brotherhood’s gains are so sick it can flex on gender divides. That’s gnarly brosef.

Pick me up some carbon fibre print “no issues” tissues for manly men bro.

Don’t they also have broader definitions that similar countries so the stats look worse in a naive comparison?

Ah yes, Sweden. aa country so ruined everyone I meet from there insufferably constantly talks about how good it is. Truly a cesspool of crime and violence.

Can you believe that in the past people used to use corporal punishment? So much more civilised to force people to ingest drugs that change their body, mind, and possibily even identity that have historically resulted in suicides at times.

edit: at this stags it seems voluntary. If course in the legal system/healthcare many voluntary things are ‘voluntary’.

Idk what libs expect resistance to look like. I’m not saying I’m in favour of killing people, I’m just saying if you are a privileged state employee and the state you work for is doing evil shit and you don’t want to be a target it’s kinda easy to quit your job.

It’s actually difficult to reliably OD. Not that I would recommend suicide but I would especially not recommend routes with a good chance of leaving you alive with organ, inc brain, damage.

Don’t intentionally OD.

Ah yes, advocating for scientifically supported vegan cat food is extremism that needs admin intervention but they’ll shelter misanthropic death cults.

How’s that marketplace of ideas working?

Shit happens, nobody cares enough about work to remember this except as just another “haha technology amirite” story in a few months.

Learn a lesson about having a backup plan for presentations and move on. She’ll be right.

Forgive my ignorance but does this really need spelling out? Don’t all states do this? Like that specific scenario is a bit a silly but in times of crisis or when interests conflict governments always without crap from rivals. Isn’t there specifically a block trying to stop BRICS getting their hands on magical machine god apotheosising chips?

Seems like the nats want to bend them over the barrel and force them to embrace bribes for the regions + insane culture war stuff and the libs are like “we’re 19 votes behind in our most secure seat in histo wtf are you doing?”

But since neither party can hold power without the other, and the nats play so well with morons voting against their own interests, I think there will be enormous pressure for ‘moderate’ libs remaining to stfu and fall in line.

It would be extremely funny if the party splintered and the right wing vote got split between the fundies and the bougies.

I just want proportional representation so my fantasy daydreams about having an actual democracy one day can seem even slightly plausible.

Extremely funny news from Australia. In the wake of a historical loss the coalition that makes up the current conservative opposition has (temporarily) dissolved^[1]. This has happened in the wake of the right wing liberal party being unwilling to commit to policies that fucked them, which play well with reactionary elements in the regions.

They will likely rejoin together once it is politically advantageous, having largely been together for the better part of a century, but currently this means the center right welfare state labor party has basically no resistance except the leftish greens party to passing its bills. Severely diminishing the electoral power of the far right for the forseeable future.

Whether the liberals will embrace the trumpism that cost them the election, hemorrhaging the rest of their moderates, or try and tac towards the bourgeois policies of the so called “teal” (blue + green, environmental policies) independents that have been eating their lunch in the wealthy liberal heartland remains to be seen. My money is on the former because the moderate faction lost most of their seats and they’ve but a numerology^[2] donothing clown in charge as a seat warmer while the factions rally.^[3]

Hexbear in a nutshell

Yeah man idk if we should be copying the behaviours of Japanese student cults that lead to them progressively murdering themselves off.

A lot of hexbear skews young, if there’s a time in your life you’ll enjoy making grand declarations and sweeping generalisations it’s when young.

I propose a hexbear tradition of the great eye. Every day one user is randomly selected by the gaze, each other user sees one of their posts at the top page and has to rate it ideological pure or unserious liberalism.

If the user is not rated at least 2/3 pure their name is revealed and they are banned, if the user is rated 90% pure they get the crown of the 1 true leftist until someone else replaces them.
