Yeah it's called "purchase leave" in a Australia, it's not super common yet, but it's like a payday loan for paid holiday leave. You take time off paid but make up for it later by salary deduction over a period of time.

Yeah it's kind of dialectically linked, for a material to be that useful, it is going to be bad if you inhale it.

A crank belief of mine is asbestos could probably be used completely safely at some point under a later stage of socialism where we don't have the perils of capitalism or even minor bureaucrats making quotas to risk lives.

It's a coin flip whether a trans person is a based communist or lib. (Landing on the side is rightwing grifter). This is still a better ratio than the cis though.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any wild takes from conservatives or pro-Russia nazbols about Iran's (nuanced) trans rights, during this conflict. lathe-of-heaven

I really like thin linen short-sleeve shirts or shirts with rolled up sleeves, buttoned or open over a singlet, especially those with flowers or fruit embroidered on them. With short shorts and colourful hightops with ankle socks.

What does what my top wears have anything to do with it?

Peter Singer

Oh no!

So you may not know this, but this site has had a user go off the rails like 2 years ago and spam the opening paragraph of Peter Singer’s Wikipedia article hundreds of times using vpns to avoid being rate limited in creating accounts.

We also had a pretty vitriolic struggle session about veganism and zoophilia based on an article of his around that time two.

I'd love to adapt 1984 extremely faithfully but secretly adhering to that theory that 1984 has a biased narrator, and that Oceania is actually a quite effective and benevolent socialist state especially when given the context of a recent devastating nuclear war and an ongoing three way cold-war that Oceania cannot win outright. Show Winston as the petty misogynist with SA fantasies he is in the book. Show the peaceful and comfortable living conditions of the proletariat. Make the fanatical party members cool and given them amazing uniforms like a reverse empire from Star Wars, that tricks nerds into thinking state socialism is cool.

My Children of Hurin

Not that any of the adaptions they're making are going to be good, but my understanding they are basically only allowed to adapt whats in the original Trilogy (Including appendices) and the Hobbit. So that's why there's a dogshit Rings of Power amazon show and the Hunt for Gollum.

It's 2025 the trans woman with a unicorn profile picture is telling you to read Stalin.
