Protest against gentrification in Mexico
Is it mostly about expats, or about richer Mexicans as well?
Prob expats since you see signs written in English.
Welcome to the united snakes
Land of the thief, home of the slave
Grand imperial guard where the dollar is sacred and power is god
May the marg bars see many amrikas
I took creatine for the past week or so and doubled my dose of it in the last three days.
Why am I so angry right now? Very angry?
It’s the only supplement I’m taking, btw.
From what I read, past the loading phase you don’t actually want to take more than 5 grams daily. Your body isn’t able to absorb more than that effectively, and it just ends up putting stress on your kidneys.
Tomorrow morning the yearly visit to János Kádár’s grave will take place in Budapest.
To be able to grasp what he meant to Hungary, consider reading something from him from here:

Or check out what life was like in Hungary during his time with us:
You have me interested. I’ll read.
Day #8 of going through the four withdrawals of Guanfacine (lowered the dosage), caffeine pills (now I mostly just drink tea as opposed to the five 200 mg pills I was taking every other day), Lexapro (I’m now taking Zoloft), and vitamins (I was taking more than recommended for over a year, maybe two, and got hypervitaminosis).
I feel… pretty good today!
So femicide is a real problem here. Every other week a woman gets murdered in Belgium, in most cases by a partner or someone close to them. Most of the time for patriarchal reasons.
What’s funny to me is that right wingers shout a lot about revenge killing in Muslim communities but remains silent about the dozens of women killed every year by Belgian men.
I never thought an european country had that problem. TIL
Well I feel like it gets swept under the rug because of Western supremacy views. Just ‘incidents’ rather than a structural societal problem.
As I was making the comment above a dude set his wife on fire while being on parole because prisons are too full here
The rich or more wealthy get parole while the dirt-poor don’t and are left out sight and out of mind.
More prisons beget more crime, tbh.
Another day, another lazy horseshoe theorist meme raking in thousands of updoots.
This is a perfect example of why I rarely pay attention to these topics anymore. Both the OP’s point and the comments therebelow follow the same script, and it is rare for anybody to show up citing scientific journals, interesting-sounding history books, or even amateur investigators like Moss Robeson.
I can understand other communists being angry at threads like that, but after you’ve seen them so many times you become desensitized and too exhausted to be angry. They’re all so boring.
Especially reddit, get off there. Absolutely reactionary pedo infested place. And everyone else are libs (don’t know which is worse)
TIL China has exported greenhouses to Yemen
and the DPRK!!
Never been the biggest vegan activist there is (despite being vegan now) but I got myself some vegan print t shirt. One of them says SOYBOY lmao. Can’t wait to wear them in public.

RIPiss Jimmy Swaggart; I hardly knew ye.

Where from?
I think I’m going to start using Peertube and even put original content on there for the sake of archival.
Try the Tankietube instance, it’s administrated by tankietanuki and there’s a lot of us on it.
Oho, I shall.
I have wanted to put original content on PeerTube as well, but it’s hard with my computer situation and being busy all the time. I hope to see more comrades posting content on alternative platforms, especially exclusively. I’m worried about loss of educational digital media on private platforms like YouTube and Reddit as enshittification continues. I’m also worried about archive.org. I depend on it greatly. I hope we archive and preserve media as much as possible on other platforms before we inevitably lose them.
Fuck, I’m so worried about archive.org, you have no idea…
I’m over-stimulated now, but it may be winding down.
How does one prevent over-stimulation?
I’ve decided to stop taking so many vitamins at once, since that may cause this (and cause brain fog too)
