Also NK already has anime. Squirrel and Hedgehog slaps and it's from the 80s. I'm also pretty sure NK must have furries as a result
I moved this weekend and I am sore as fuck now. Always a stressful thing, moving. But it was worth it I think. It's a nice new place. Life is sort of tiring at the moment and I hope things get better soon. At least it is supposed to be better weather soon. Can't wait to start my herb nursery on my new balcony.
I hope everyone has a nice week.
Now that you said "I hope everyone has a nice week" did you prepair the capybara video for @graineater
My capybara collection is still in a box somewhere. I have to unpack it still.
I just noticed the text in the post am I the weekly general thread? @graineater
what do you mean, there is no mention of you in the post
I can't believe you are gaslighting me
I only use LED lights
Hey why is there a secret link in this post? For how long have you been doing this
clearly you have hacked into the Lemmygrad server and manipulated the database

For any of you following the events at Columbia University:
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the carnation revolution in Portugal. Libs seem to have forgotten what the revolution supported.
It’s unfortunate how forgotten this piece of history is outside of Portugal. I also find it funny that I’m the only person in my family that “celebrates” this day.
Yep, April 25th marks the day when the Portuguese working class, with the MFA (movimento das forças armadas) took down fascism and almost made Portugal a socialist country.
The lack of focus I was having last week is only getting worse, I sit down to work and I just...don't. And I'm having memory problems, last week was even more of a blur than the weeks before it. Going to see a doctor about this soon, hopefully it isn't anything too major.
I hope you all have a nice week :D
Got in a discussion on Reddit about sex work and the whole white, male 'WOMEN SEXUAL LIBERATION REEEE' crowd came crawling out of their basements to downvote. To them, sex work is this perverse fantasy of a white woman being empowered instead of the reality in which 99% are human trafficking victims in horrible conditions.

Are conservatives actually also libs? They're also proponents of capitalism and are idealists, but are they really just conservative liberals? I can see how they would be, cons also believe in nebulous ideas like human rights, they just don't even pretend that they should be extended to the out-group.
yes, both "liberals" and "conservatives" in USian terminology are liberals
maybe 9/11 was just a marketing ploy for general motors to increase white male anxiety and sell more big pickup trucks ten years later
Got a couple questions for the e-bike users. We got some here, I think.
Are they usable in winter? Not california winter, proper winter. Knee deep snow, - 30C, the whole nine yards.
How much space are they taking up? I understand there are foldables, but they still look big-ish.
Depends on how your local roads/side walks/pathways are maintained. If the snow is cleared, e bikes work just fine, but your range will be hurt a bit. A bad headwind will also mean your range goes down a lot (wind seems worse in the winter where I am, but that could be some sort of confirmation bias). The times I've biked through Blizzard conditions/extreme wind and cold I was very glad to have the e assist on the bike. Those days are rare though, and the primary consideration in my mind is how well things are maintained the rest of the year.
That being said, a path that hasn't been cleared in days is basically unusable for any bike. Maybe a fat-tire bike could work, but I don't have experience with that.
In terms of space, I use my bike all the time so I've made space for it in my apartment.
Maybe is should ask, what type of ebike are you looking to get? There is quite a range of types. Mine is basically just a normal bike with a motor assist.
First they give you the bible, and by the time you finish reading it they've stolen all of your land.
i keep seeing merch and sports gear that college students are wearing here with america and taiwan flags attached to them. in japan btw.
