prob my most asshole move but i constantly remind people in agriculture that call themselves "engineers" that they're not engineers but glorified salesmen. like dude you have never ever used a tool in your life, all you do is drive around selling pesticides or whatever that you didn't even develop or anything.
Hey, don't hate them so much. 🫠
Los ingenieros agronomos do work depending on the project. Actually, I could have been one in another life.
Here is a rice field in Cuba!
I have no doubt that there are some actual agronomists out there but in my region every freaking vendor calls himself engineer but all they do is resell products.
You need to up your asshole game if that's the best you've got. You should be telling liberals that they are rolling out the red carpet for the next hitler, yelling at old ladies in the hair salon for their complicity in climate change.
When are we getting the ProleWiki podcast where twice a month @CriticalResist8 along with different contributors and editors talk about everything ProleWiki from updates, news, challenges, the "On this day..." event etc. with a section at the end of each episode highlighting some of the goofiest edit attempts in ProleWiki history?
Of course, there would also be a Q&A section to plug the Patreon/Liberapay, as only patrons would be able to submit questions. They'll also get exclusive access to a compilation of bloopers from the last 2 episodes every month.
And it goes without saying that once a month there will be a special episode with a section where @CriticalResist8 invites esteemed guests from Lemmygrad to discuss the featured article and essay on the ProleWiki homepage from that day.

I once knew a Neo-Nazi who was an amateur MMA fighter. Just looked up his record the other day: 0 wins 6 losses, 2 by Unanimous decision, 2 by submission (got choked out), 2 by KO, 4/6 ended in the first round. 😂 😂 😂 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC0DKieA4sk
Ooo i had been thinking about getting into MMA does this mean if i do I'll get to beat up Nazi's legally?
From what I have heard its almost impossible to find an mma gym with no nazis and the second the nazis know you are a leftist they will hound you.
I heard of that as well. Thought it was an exaggeration until I found an open Nazi in one gym that I go to(I have multi branch gym subscription).
I was thinking of looking for a gym with a good queer community figure if they advertise as queer friendly it probably turns off Nazis from signing up.
I wouldn't really be doing MMA to socialize anyway. I'd just learn what i need to learn, and cancel the membership after.
Being a vegan activist might unironically be harder than being a communist one. You'd have the most rational people losing all critical thinking ability the second you say vegan.

I saw this in a magazine and got it as a holiday present for my uncle yesteryear. This thing has been a pain in the ass since I got it. I remember the evening when it was lethally cold outside and we slowly walked into the shopping mall (which was playing abysmal music) to pick up a copy. I was annoyed being in the LEGO shop and bringing it home, but whatever. That was just ill luck.
I started assembling it a day or two later. It was very boring: the process of assembling it takes several hours, and at one point I had to stop working on it for a day because I was so bored (and sweaty) putting it together. Seriously, has anybody ever noticed how boring it is to assemble a LEGO set that has over a thousand pieces? I don’t mind a few hundred pieces, but a thousand or more is obscenely excessive.
Anyway, after I finished assembling it and giving it to my mom so that she could gift it, I thought that that would be the end of it. Nope. Some prick released a third-party add-on that hooks lights up to the set and my mom insisted on buying that. We returned to my uncle’s house and I thought that applying the add-on would be easy enough, but the vague instruction book (written in broken English) and my uncle’s real cat whining repeatedly caused me to leave his house in anger.
It was in-between this and the time when I finally installed the add-on that I learned that one of my uncle’s students knocked over the set before trying to reassemble it, making the add-on’s instructions even harder to follow, and somehow my mom or my uncle lost a few LEGO pieces in his car. That thing is almost as fragile as glass.
So after procrastinating for several days, I finally installed the fucking lights on the imperfectly reassembled and incomplete set and my mom takes it back to my uncle’s house. (She insisted that the add-on installation be secret because she wanted to ‘surprise’ him, but he undoubtedly wondered why it suddenly went missing, so my mom must have spoiled the surprise.)
Fast-forward a few months and I get a text from my mom asking where the instruction manual is because they somehow lost it (WHAT‽); the set needs to be reassembled again and this time she is going to use glue even though the LEGO Group discourages that, and I’m not doing it myself because she knows that I’m fucking sick and tired of handling that overpriced heap of plastic.
I am so sorry that I ever got that set and I wish that I never got into LEGO. I hate LEGO now. Overpriced boxes of shit.
Come to think of it, I hate toys in general now, basically. Tom Hodgkinson can explain it for me.
I'm sorry for your misery but this kinda made me laugh.
I believe I'm on Day #12 of going through my four withdrawals (dramatic lowering of Guanfacine dosage; Zoloft instead of Lexapro; no more caffeine pills amounting to 1,000 mg, just tea and coffee every now and then; and recovering from overtaking vitamins for the past 1 or 2 years).
There does seem to be a marked improvement from, say, a week ago.
Oh damn hope you feel better. Honestly electrolytes rich diet & b12 will have you way higher energy than the caffeine pills after a while. Is it cool if I infodump about substances that revivify me? I wish you guys had tianeptine in your pharma system in the states
How can somebody be a human shield if she or he is standing alone in the middle of Bumfuck, Nowhere?
