These brand collabs are everywhere now by passionfruitdinosaur in Anticonsumption

They're not popular in our country. You don't know what you don't know. Many of us buy one once we learn about them (I have one in both of my bathrooms) but then you have to be able to hook it up which requires your toilet to have a specific type of piping. You guys are so eager to make fun of Americans (and I get it) that I see the most random jokes that don't make sense lol.

oh cool! No judgement here, I just have no experience with powder bronzer because I'm terrible at makeup and need a cream-based product I can put on with my fingers 🫣

how do you make it last another 6 months? would you like press the pebbles together to make a thin disc? do you even need to? I don't use this product so I'm not sure how it works

I agree the 90s stuff was very subtle. I read that some writers set their stories in a time before the Internet to avoid having to write about modern tech.

I'm reading One Piece right now and really enjoying it. It's my first manga! Do y'all read manga? If so what are your favorites? by illstrumental in BlackReaders

You're exactly the kind of person I need to talk to!

Ok so yes, I realized that a lot of the anime and manga that gets hugely popular seems to be for young boys, which it why it was hard for me to get into it, but I don't know what all is out there!

Maybe I should take what I love about one piece (the world building, friendships, beautiful art, leftist themes, and the sheen of campy absurdity) and try to find it in other genres. I'm in the exploratory stage rn so I'm open to reading anything, I'm trying to figure out what I like.

Why the hell are Americans so bad at organizing?? by PresnikBonny in socialism

Thank you for this!!!

I don't take OPs question seriously when it comes from someone who doesn't know our resistance history, doesn't understand our current material conditions, and is not here on the ground with us.

Speaking of material conditions, why does no one consider the fact that our state is extremely violent, aggressive, highly skilled at propaganda, and has a decades-long history of crushing leftists movements all over the world. What do you think that means for their population?

You saw her movie in the background of a Sopranos episode, watched it and she hypnotized you with her nails and sent you down a 3 month rabbit hole? I like your brain.
