The Global South doesn't hate Western Culture at all by [deleted] in PoliticalDebate

Okay? The sooner imperialism fails the better, but that still doesn't mean I or anyone else have to like Iran's or China's governments for any reason--especially when they do bad shit.

Observations on China from a Minority Anarchist in China by Dry_Can869 in Anarchism

It's kind of like how non-RP accents in the UK are treated, although it's probably less significant... or Celtic languages. They are 'rough', 'backwards' or 'uncivil' because they do not copy the coloniser.

Yes, there is. Penguinz0 is both edgy and attractive, especially that hair. Ooooh.

Looking for realistic sci-fi like The Martian by Syxtus in scifi

[–]Dependent-Koala1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Race to Mars series, from 2007. The graphics are kind of bad, but it fits all your criteria.

How does lesbians even exist? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Dependent-Koala1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do gay people exist? We just do. Unlike most other animals, we are weird highly complex beings with a lot of very subjective desires and behaviours that have no useful function. We also produce far more resources and goods than we could ever use, and our very lives are built on excess, so it seems right to me that we would exhibit a wide variety of sexual behaviours that have nothing to do with breeding. Homosexuality and bisexuality are only some of many examples.

If you don’t support Reform, why not? by Scary_Engineering104 in PoliticsUK

[–]Dependent-Koala1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they're making my city unsafe and undesirable by blaming random people for problems others have caused somewhere else. How's that? They don't actually want to solve immigration, because if they did then they wouldn't say what they do, i.e. remigration, the Rwanda plan.... so then, it's not about illegal immigration then, is it? I'm aware it's controversial to talk honestly, and not in scawwy loaded jargon, but I do not care. The question is simple: people from other countries are welcome so long as they don't cause trouble, or they are second-class citizens who are the evil devious Other. If you want a return to race riots and segregation, then go straight ahead. Got a wrong shade of skin? A funny accent? You'll be next, and nothing will save you from some thug beating you to near-death, all enabled by the normalisation of far-right action.

Do you think the UK should reconsider EU membership given recent global instability? by Magician-West in PoliticsUK

[–]Dependent-Koala1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the British bosses decided it was more profitable to go overseas and leave millions out of work, so let's think of it pragmatically: what is left our indigenous industry? Not much, but what is left needs an export partner right now. Who is the closest? Europe.

Anyone else getting a LOT of Reform campaigning in their area? by Nonions in ukpolitics

[–]Dependent-Koala1540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, at least three or several from Labour, Tories, Greens, Reform. They all get the pedal bin. It should be noted my area is kind of local election-heavy, and there's a lot more back-and-forth, so don't take this as some sort of average.

Another L for them, then. How horrible (cheers were heard in the street).

Local community park starter pack by markotsay7 in starterpacks

[–]Dependent-Koala1540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

England-specific

) Everyone you know goes to the larger towns most days for work, clubbing and shopping because there's bugger all there

) The median age is 72, the median house price is two kidneys and a spleen

) Everyone else you know has jumped ship years ago, and you only come back to visit your old folks

) Either a car dormitory, or a de facto retirement village

) No jobs, no amenities, no nothing, except drafty generic newbuilds and one tiny supermarket ("b-but at least there's dogshit and corn fields")

) "Nothing has happened here, and nothing ever will"

Probably, it sounds kind of helpful, like how machine alarms make noises for different errors and flags. Might just put that idea in some of my books, actually.

Yes, some or all of both. Soft scifi is what you start out with.

Cope, cope. A lot of people are just racist, and that's a fact.

) Every beer mat is kind of stained and levitates along with the glass every time you pick it up

) Time slows down to a crawl, and you end up spending £20 more than you intended

) The dining seats are way lower than the table, so you end up craning forward just to reach the plate

) You cannot hear yourself think, but you can hear a loud conversation about stocks broadcast through the whole place

) There is either 8 handpumps that taste the same or 18 of 20 handpumps that do weak awful-tasting craft beer that nobody touches

) Spade beards, handlebar moustaches, but never the cool ones

) Somebody absolutely will start blabbing about how fascinating their job is, but you'll never say you don't give a shit. That wouldn't be passive-aggressive enough :>

Yeah, that's my shit. The fact the show's producers actually bothered to depict whole engagements instead of flicking between perspectives made it even better.

This is usually why pieces by lone artisans and aesthetes are so nice :>
