I need to get a “Do Nothing, Win.” tattoo to remind me of his wisdom

“Wartime presidents always get reelected, its a sure thing”

peeling away allies is the only reasonable course for China. there’s no benefit for them to be the first to strike. drawing out peace for as long as possible is also beneficial for the international proletariat. it gives us all time to get into an advantageous position for when the empire is overextended and can be effectively stepped on.

I’m trying to date again, but it’s scary af to put myself out there and I get more scared when someone does like me 🙃 I’m doing OK at making friends tho so maybe i should push myself less and just try to have a social life to start with.

struggling to be organized enough to go do stuff vs. 🧊 but the little I’ve done feels good

no ig in those cases it was assassination and infiltration mostly

not that we shouldn’t try this method, but I reckon historically the reaction would involve bombings and reactionary riots burning down the socialist enclaves. Civil defense against such would probably be seen as insurrection tho so it would probably escalate quickly.

are DMT vapes real??

I don’t really know what their motivations are, but they may have some reason for avoiding open conflict with the US. Yemen and the few other early resistance nations don’t have much to lose. They can’t really make any political moves, but China has the ability to engage diplomatically in a way that the US really can’t counter. Maybe China sees their actions as the best option to draw out the Americans and deplete their resources and good will.

I feel u tho, I do wish someone was in a position to directly counter US Israeli aggression and able to sway other nations to oppose genocidal imperialism.

was China under a lot of pressure? it seemed to me like they held all the cards the whole time. they used the situation to have a political and trade related motivation for stopping eare earth metal exports, knowing that us military assets are dependent on those resources. I might be giving China too much credit tho

all my heavy bags keep me grounded

they really should stretch them thinner. the US is the greatest nation on earth surely they can handle it.

if you have the means to operate them (tens to hundreds thousands of dollars worth of computer parts) plus maintenance you could probably do a lot even if you didn’t run AI models on your fancy gear.

Do we think its possible to counter-coopt these events? Yah or Nah?

There’s a lot of hardware (especially arm socs) that have out of tree kernels and drivers. I totally see these chips not being in mainline, but you will probably be able to run a Linux kernel even if it isn’t the Linux kernel. I hope so anyways. It seems doable and somewhat likely unless they are going full custom os.

Stuff like CUDA would also be challenging, but no worse than maintaining a Linux fork if you designed the GPU.

My dad introduced me to the sunchokes the other day and I’ve been lowkey obsessed with finding the cultural roots of the plant. I really liked this article, there’s some info from a Lakota perspective here as well.

I’ve been getting involved with lately. The local comrades are dope

I’ve started making friends in my area finally! Its been a rough couple of years getting established. Mostly it was a lack of trying and other life shit getting in the way, but that’s all behind me now!

Aren’t they saying, “that’s not our guy” and “we don’t support adventurism”? Organized armed resistance is very different from an unaffiliated rando assassinating Israeli functionaries in this way. The action isn’t even unambiguously directed at the state of Israel or Zionism. What would be the benefit of supporting it at all?

idk makes sense to me that different people have different gods and have their own ways of living and seeing the world. i don’t really try to create a unified concept beyond like mutual tolerance and co-existance. creating universal avatars is kinda fun from a magic the gathering-like perspective, but idk what kind of spiritual value it has.

I got married to my friend so she would have access to medical care.

Can’t afford it. It was nice knowing y’all. Sort of.
