Losing old friends over their support for genocide Joe. Worst thing about it is that they're not even American. Stupid fuckers.

Currently residing in a cabin in the woods and I only have a radio (and wifi lol). But I accidently stumbled upon a classical music channel that is having some sort of medieval theme today. I didn't know medieval music could be this fire.

Have you heard of Birds on a Wire? Some of their music has a medieval theme and I love it. They sing in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French, too.

Canada was colonized and federated by the damn railroad, you can connect 90% of the population with two straight lines, but we will never get HSR

Makes my week every week seeing your pup

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A puppy that even manages a tail wag in a still photo.

[–] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She often wags her tail so hard that she hits herself in the face with it.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Aww haha that's what I like to hear.

In case you needed it to start your week, here's an IOF tank getting blown up.

I had to watch it a few times to figure out where I needed to be looking. I couldn't locate the little red arrow.

The irony of having to make 14-15 hour days volunteering for a party that fights for better working rights is not lost on me. Working towards communism may actually give me a burn-out.

Burnout helps no one comrade, take time for yourself.

Shoutout to the French antifa squads who are out in the streets every day to beat up fascists

I'm active on a number of local reddit-logo communities, some of which are mostly English-language, and some of which aren't. Demographically though, it's pretty much the same people.

In the English subs the amount of Zionist glowposting is maybe twenty times higher. It's staggering.

All because Israel's troll farms and bots don't speak my language.

[–] zephyreks@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

The IDF doesn't even speak Arabic well.

Surely climate change must be happening much faster than we think. The last few years have seen much more extreme weather. Over here it's been raining non stop for days now and parts of the country are again flooded.

[–] zephyreks@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Absolument. I did a deeper dive of US "emissions" here: https://hexbear.net/comment/4246041

In short, the US significantly under reports their emissions from natural gas because they don't sufficiently consider the short-term impact of methane or the degree of methane leakage occuring.

[–] MaoZedongThought@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Even the best climate scientists have been underestimating feedback, which is amplifying and accelerating the effects. A ton of models are linear when reality is exponential. We're finally in 2023 seeing more climate scientists admit that they've been far too conservative/optimistic.

Avant, pendant et après moi, le déluge.

My region is experiencing a lot of problems this year. We had no rain in summer so we had really low water levels at the dams that supply water for farming thus water will be limited and thus yields will be lower, our entire economy revolves around farming so this hurts everyone. Also some tropical storms hit us during planting season, which hurts planted crops and delays yet-to-plant fields

[–] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes it is. Much much faster.

There are several reasons, among which (the list is not exhaustive):

  • Many positive (and negative, but the overwhelming effect is definitely positive) feedback processes are known to exist, but cannot be quantified. If they cannot be quantified, they are not taken into account into the models, only as vague "climate tripwires" with no certainty of when the trigger will be pushed or in some cases if it has or hasn't already. Some of those have the potential to rival human emissions in scale if we do trigger them.
  • Many other similar feedback processes likely exist but we are not even aware of them.
  • The source of governmental decisions is the IPCC; when an IPCC report is published, the research it uses is already years, sometime more than a decade, out of date (this makes sense but it does mean there is a lag between current reality and decision-making).
  • The IPCC report itself, once actual scientists have finished writing it, is then provided to political actors (the US, the UAE, etc.) in order to reword or rewrite parts of it they deem incompatible with their strategic objectives. There was a leak of the politically-unedited IPCC report about two years back, and the wording was very different.
  • Many scientists self censor, consciously or not, because they'll usually end up being called "alarmists". This, among other things, results in the models the IPCC designs and uses being highly optimistic.

As a sidenote, and only somewhat related to your initial question: for a few years now, all IPCC trajectories that do not end up in widespread societal collapse and potentially human extinction rely on imaginary technologies.

Wikipedia on wartime deportations within the Soviet Union: "100 bajillion people died on account of Stalin being evil and bigoted and a member of the Russian KKK."

Wikipedia on the English enclosures, the Highland Clearances, Siege of Drogheda, etc: nOOance

two bottoms sexting:

'sorry...' 'exactly.'

[–] nour@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Picked up a magazine about "carreers in engineering" not long ago. The level of liberal brainworms in there was so unbelievable. Not going to take photos because that might dox my city, but it was basically:

  • Advertising for the imperialist army
  • Technology is going to save us from climate change
  • You should work more than 40 hours a week (says guy who would benefit from you working more hours a week).
    • What is interesting, they ended it with a sentence like "If your work is for the benefit of society and fulfilling for yourself, it doesn't make difference how many hours it is." Which... I can't say I disagree entirely. But under this society? Lol no.

I did get some pointers I was hoping to get from there, so it wasn't totally pointless. But still, the entire time I was reading that, I was thinking "How can anyone take this seriously?"

I hope Hamas takes special note of the seed-thirst of idf-cool and aim's directly for the balls. Forget the head. Shoot the balls. Least armoured part. Most effective hit.

Is the sapiens guy Yuval Harari a zionist?

This whole article is proof of the failure of settler-leftism. This guy, as critical as he has been of Israel's fascism in the past, is now practically indistinguishable from a fascist.

An equivalent of the population of Soweto/Frankfurt from a city the size of Stockholm has been displaced and the body count in 40 days is triple the annual homicides in the Gauteng Province despite being 1/7th the size.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

More tragedy. It's every day 😔

Is it the hail storms or something else?

[–] absolutefuckinidiot@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It may be early yet but I do not rate Week 46 of Juche 112 very highly as it stands.

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nothing especially wrong work is just busy and annoying, and i've been more or less disassociated for the past 6 or so weeks so I need to try very hard to reassociate because I have a lot of things to get done

Abu U-bae-dah 😍

[–] SexMachineStalin@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

The South African Parliament has FINALLY called a vote to formally suspend all relations with Isisrael, which includes de-colonizing the 5,100 square meters in Pretoria and ~~extraditing Eliav Bellend to Cape Town to have the penguins carry out sentencing by guillotine~~ expelling the Pissraeli ambassador.

But there's of course plenty of room to disappoint. PIGPOOPBALLS

This recent Letter to America discourse is so fucked. I completely abhor the idea of news stories and documents being censored and purged but also, I'm not going to praise Bin Laden. Guy was still a monster.

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I swear the only reason Americans care at all is because Bin Laden was on TV for years (either him or people talking about him) and in America, TV man = serious opinion. It's ironic blowback from trying to portray bid laden as the "King of All Terrorism" a decade ago.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

It really tells how uninformed the average american is.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Something something you have not in fact gotta hand it to him

[–] Mzuark@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I'm actually starting to buy the whole "Psyop" thing. It's just too coincidental
