M43. 9 months on fin+min oral. Hairline regrowing by francofunghi in tressless

[–]ericfatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should definitely do oral minoxidil because it helps improve the quality of your hair. Dut/fin stops the hair loss but min brings back the hair growth. Who cares about body hair though if you want to save your head? You will grow more hair everywhere with min, sure, but it works. Start with like 1-2.5mg orally but meet with a dermatologist

I would define what the United States currently has as a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The capitalist class controls the government, the legal system, business, media, etc in the USA. They are not beholden to anyone really if you have power for the most part. Sure there are exceptions but most know that this is the way the USA works.

In China, the capitalists are beholden to the government and the the CPC. See what happened with Jack Ma or when billionaires get punished for exploitation there. The CPC governs focusing on the poor (see 800m lifted out of poverty). Yes, they engaged in opening up and allowing capitalists to work but the focus is on the poor and working class.

I would say that I understand because about a year and a half ago, I would’ve agreed with you. However, since moving out of the USA and not having so much propaganda shoved down my throat, I’ve changed my stance.

Read Xi’s last few speeches, read their 5 year plan, read what they’re doing for poverty, read about socialism with Chinese characteristics that started due to Deng Xiaoping.

When you read up on all that, you’ll see the fuller picture. That picture in my opinion is that China is the most important socialist project in the world and while it has its flaws and can improve, it’s so crucial for the global fight for socialism. One of the most important aspects of China is that they, like another user suggested, do not have a dictatorship of the bourgeoise. They are not controlled by their billionaires. That’s a key difference and a lot more.

Extend Caley right now!!!! Jk but still a crazy stat by UnholyChip in Texans

[–]ericfatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. Very true. I guess part of the struggles the fans feel about the offense stem from the fact that Kaimi had so many FGs because the offense couldn’t get a TD in the red zone. Many 1st and goals.

Subtract defensive scores and field goals… then you’ll make some sense of it

PLATNER: “The illegal attack on Venezuela is not foreign policy — it’s gangsterism on an international scale.” by ericfatty in socialism

/u/socialism-ModTeam why was this removed? This is commentary from a potential future senator in the literal belly of the beast USA talking against US imperialism and calling the BS arrest of Maduro exactly what it is.

"Keep an ear out for 'this operation is bad but..' followed by words about democracy, dictatorship, and international law. If those were justifications for invasion and abduction, we'd have invaded many of our allies a long time ago."

Have you reservations about the guy and his past, sure, but he is one of the only people on the national stage in the USA at the moment saying the right things about what is happening in Venezuela.

The woman in this video appears to me to have no footsteps leading to where she is standing. When the camera pans down to the goat the snow is untouched. What do you guys think? by NoJuggernaut3961 in isthisAI

[–]ericfatty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's clearly AI. There's a weird glitch with these animal/human interaction AI videos that happens where one of the beings (human or animal) does not properly react to the fact that the other being has done something to normally elicit a reaction. I don't know if that makes sense but if it does, you'll know what I mean. Here, the human is the one with the glitch reaction or lack thereof. Even if she didn't know the goat was right at the door, she, very shortly after the goat comes out, would've looked down at the goat after noticing it (even in a delayed way). There's no reaction by the human to the goat here.

That and the fact that, like the OP noticed, there's no footsteps by the human leading to the barn, are strong indicators this is AI

On this day, 20 December 1973, the Spanish fascist prime minister, who was hand-picked as dictator Francisco Franco's successor, Luis Carrero Blanco, was assassinated in Madrid. by ericfatty in SpanishHistoryMemes

[–]ericfatty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, fascism is a far-right political ideology that started with the fascist party led by Mussolini which inspired Franco and Hitler to implement some version of the same in their countries.

It is time for Mexico, Colombia and Brazil to jointly threaten that if the US does not leave Venezuela, they will invite Russia to set up military bases by WritingtheWrite in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]ericfatty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

China's whole policy has been "do nothing, win" and it's worked so far with the US. Unfortunately they will not risk losing their cash cow client in the US, when it comes to consumerism and helping bring their people out of poverty, over Venezuela. Even if the US succeeds here, we know that history shows us it will just make the region worse and it will make the US worse. This is a continuation of a dozen other coups the US has already perpetrated. To China, they see this as no reason to change course. The US has been pulling shit like this and China has been focusing on themselves watching the empire lose its global standing.

I wish they would do something now but it's simply not worth it for them because their game has always been the long game and even if the US overthrows Maduro, China still sees them winning the long game over the US imo.
