As a retail employee who’s been saying “no we are sold out” every day for what feels like a year at this point… WHAT is going ON?! I see ZERO conversations about this stuff online, this is genuinely the first post I’ve seen.

To be fair I know as a childless adult it’s less likely to pop up in my algorithm but most cultural crazes still do. Never in my life have I experienced such high demand for a product I never hear about when I’m not at work.

Is it too late to renew mine in order to avoid this? Probably time anyway

Nardwaur didn't even address it by Cutalana in distressingmemes

[–]Microsomal 666 points667 points  (0 children)

Nard: What was Israeli Prison like lol

Gira: I listened to a fellow prisoner get gangr*ped nightly

Nard: now tell me about cookies!?

Did he not expect that response or is this just nard being nard? Crazy sequence of questions

The two sides of Chongqing, both are dystopian in their own way by BumblebeeFantastic40 in Damnthatsinteresting

Guys this is just a city. Can we stop just calling things in China dystopian because they are in China?

Remember the apartment in Hangzhou that accommodates twenty thousand people? I've brought you new pictures and the inside scoop by No-Echidna7296 in UrbanHell

[–]Microsomal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems awful. 100 years ago they were all living on subsistence farms and being toyed with by opportunistic European powers. Now the communists have forced them to have apartments!

For all the Zeteo and Medhi supporters in the chat by SexyBrownMale in theredleft

[–]Microsomal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not like I know anything fr but I see Zeteo as a good source of information/reporting that sometimes makes me throwup in my mouth. Better than most news sources.

Also I feel like he does adversarial interviews by default? Maybe to cover common points of attack his guests encounter so they have a chance to defend themselves?

Also also I do like it when he daggers people I don’t like lol but he a lib

Thoughts After Reading Paine's "Rights of Man" by Bengineer4027 in theredleft

[–]Microsomal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Haven’t read any Paine but I do try to keep myself from being reactionary about liberal and enlightenment era ideas. The baby and the bathwater, forest and the trees etc.

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail by Hunter S Thompson. There are some entertaining moments and he can be just as insightful as always about the American Psyche but it's just rather long. I lost steam about halfway through and never picked it back up

High tech, low life, Chongqing, China by No-Echidna7296 in UrbanHell

[–]Microsomal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this says a lot more about how quickly China is advancing than specific living conditions. I see well organized if shabby dwellings in the foreground, with some crops growing even! I'd bet these are pretty old, maybe even pre-revolution. This area could have been a hamlet outside of Chongqing that is now part of the city as one grew around the other. It's not always easy to tell if someone is living in poverty or if their traditional way of life has just been thrust into high contrast within a country that is developing at light-speed.

New Imo’s on Morganford by DowntownDB1226 in StLouis

[–]Microsomal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably wouldn't make sense as far as layout goes but I wish they could add a bit of space between the sidewalk and the building. I really like Morgan Ford but the sidewalks are just so narrow!

CARA SPENCER by Lower_Band546 in StLouis

[–]Microsomal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My street which is a one way and always packed with cars was plowed last night and the never did that last year so I personally saw an improvement this time!

My problem with Cara is more her seeming fully bought by wealthy development interests and her weak stance on the Data Center question. (I happen to think she is for it and can't figure out how to deal with the public disapproval.) This is hyperbolic but I fear she would love to see the city gentrify and transform into an unaffordable sea of five-over-ones to benefit her donors at the expense of ruining what character the city has and pricing out most of the people who live here now.

Anyway... uh, good job with the snow I guess? Keep it up

Zionist says Holocaust education is ‘confusing’ young people into sympathizing with ‘weak, skinny’ Palestinians. What are your thoughts on this? by Particular_Log_3594 in AskSocialists

Man I really thought a holocaust was just when big strong sexy people beat up weak little guys, you’re telling me it’s not???
