I’d be interested in more articles!

There is 100% no way that author is a real person

Cute!

Beautiful! Where is that?

The Monk and Robot series by Becky Chambers is really good. Her Wayfarers series flirts a bit with describing anarchist-ish and collectivist space society, especially in Galaxy and the Ground Within. She’s a good read all around.

Libraries are not a whole society.

They are funded by property taxes, harvested under capitalism, and beholden to a web of reactionary shitlib beaurocracy.

What is your understanding of communism?

Socialized civil services aren’t communism. Communism is more like worker ownership of the means of production. Typically here it’s used to signify the potential end stage of socialist building, a “stateless moneyless society”.

Libraries are cool, but they’re not communism.

Whole flower snow chrysanthemum is really nice. It brews up to look kind of like regular tea. Iirc it’s supposed to have respiratory benefits in Chinese medicine.

I’m not arguing against masks. You’re using me to let off steam from frustration in your actual life.

I get an extra $5 if you use “showing your ass” or “I hope you catch COVID and die” in the reply btw

$10 says you don’t have anything approaching this energy for people in real life, who actually pose a danger to you.

You will never meet anyone here in real life.

I hope this is cathartic, though.

In the U$, yeah it’d be in the top 3.

That’s super fucking sad

Goodness

300?

That’s a really frustrating position to be in, I’m sorry you have to deal with it!

I can delete the post. I don’t disagree with masking.

It’s very frustrating to live in a world where masking is generally not accepted (not even AES countries require masking atp, not to mention my reactionary region of the Empire), and to be “in trouble” for even acknowledging that world exists.

It’s basically not a thing in my area, so I feel like it’s a constant social struggle. I mostly don’t, now. I will to the grocery store, or to places the people I live with won’t be. I don’t feel like my actions are meaningful, if I’m going to be exposed to their germs from school either way. I would traveling, though.

I’m weaker than I’d like to be.

I like CGTN.
