  • Thanks. Glad someone typed this so I didn’t have to.

    In addition to what you said. Most “aid” organizations, especially when it comes to those with a billionaires name attached to it are used strategically by corporations to flood local markets with the crops or resources the country would need to sustain itself independently.

    Meaning, they flood the local markets with rice for example, so that no local farmers can reasonably make any money growing it. This forces the local farmers to grow the most profitable crop that the corporations can best exploit for profit. Sugarcane, Bananas, whatever is a very climate dependent crop usually.

    Those who come with wheat, millet, corn or milk, they are not helping us. Those who really want to help us can give us ploughs, tractors, fertilizers, insecticides, watering cans, drills and dams. That is how we would define food aid.

    -Thomas Sankara (Pan-Africanist revolutionary)

    This is the “soft power” of imperialism. It is about forcing dependence in under developed countries to keep them from becoming self sustainable.

    Allowing billionaires to decide who gets aid and what they get is a fundamental part of imperialism and capitalist exploitation.

    Billionaires are parasites. If they wanted to help people they’d jump infront of a bus.



  • Best thing I’ve done for it is to use a single blade (safety razor) and shave exclusively in the shower. The steam opens your pours and helps reduce irritation.

    Also, shaving “with” the grain. Which is easier said then done since it kinda goes every direction.

    But the biggest difference has been shaving in the shower. My skin goes crazy otherwise.

    I have a full beard so I avoid shaving most of it. I’m so hairy that I have to shave most of my neck and my upper cheeks though otherwise I’d look like a Yeti. Seriously, some hairs are nearly to my eyes.

    My genes are apparently just pure European (almost a flat mix from Ireland to Ukraine). But my hair is extremely curly even on my head. My friends use to say I had a “jew-fro” but I’m not Jewish from what a DNA test said.



  • Yeah. The expensive hardware raid setups are just too much money and too much work. I like the dual parity and variable drive size unRAID uses. Don’t have to worry about drive size differences.

    You don’t get increased write speeds like some raid setups would have. But a cache drive and a scheduled mover make it even faster. I setup a 10G direct connection from my NAS to my main computer and it’s awesome for video editing.

    I could see why you’d use a hardware raid if you have like 20 users or something all writing video. But I’m never going to fill a 2TB cache drive in a single day before it can move them to the array while I sleep.


  • Personal local NAS (Network attached storage).

    Or install Tailscale on your home computer if it’s always on.

    I’m a Linux nerd but I use Tailscale just because of how incredibly easy, secure, and reliable it is. And it’s free obviously.

    Can access your files anywhere from basically any device. It essentially just lets you have access securely to any of your devices as if they were sitting on the same home network.

    I got rid of cloud storage and just run a NAS with unRAID (paid but not a subscription. But worth every penny imo) There are alternatives that are free though.






  • But all the liberals joined us in protest a little while ago. Don’t they just have to do that once and it’s fixed?

    Seriously though. We need that turnout every day. Maybe once the masses learn that “violent” protest is a response to violence from the police.

    Cops were especially behaving on that No Kings day. At least in my city. Think they didn’t want the libs to find out how they actually instigate everything.

    I’m not an accelerationist. But I think at this stage it’s the only answer. The public won’t do anything until they can’t have their material distractions. Economic collapse is in the best interest of the people at this point.

    Start breaking shit at your job. Every little bit helps. :)

    Seriously. Economy doesn’t work for us. Why would we want it to be good? People vote on “the economy” but don’t realize that their just voting for their own exploitation.

    Fuck the economy. Let it burn.
