Motorcycles are over 100.
Only in America, where motorcycles are a toy people with too much money and issues with their self-image buy to play with on weekends, 1/3 of which involve drinking, a significant number not wearing helmets, and are mostly dipshits who drive off the road taking a corner incorrectly. It’s much safer in the rest of the world.
Well does ocelot taste good?
If the children are biting you when you attempt to pet them, skill issue.
OK, but chickens are assholes who refuse to let me pet them.
Every cow I’ve met has been affectionate towards even random strangers.
Boycott, Divest, Sanctions, he’s saying we should create a similar movement to what was used to isolate Apartheid Africa and is being used to isolate Israel
I was, and people from his state saying he is a piece of shit, but probably better than the alternatives in the primary.
There were a bunch of signals, like him setting his pfp to hammer and sickle that let us delude ourselves into believing he wasn’t the same guy who chased down 2 black people with a shotgun because he thought they must be trying to rob houses and that his support of Israel even when AIPAC was funding his opponents in the primary was just because he didn’t really know anything and we could push him left.
Fetterman was always a racist, zionist piece of shit, we just didn’t want to see it.
Correct, literally the more power capital has, the less power the people have. This isn’t just power within the government, since any power the capitalists are allowed to exercise is an extension of the government enabling it.
China does get some utility from the capitalist class; their national bourgeoisie, who can be controlled somewhat, has helped develop the means of production without totally selling out to foreign bourgeoisie, who can’t be controlled at all. One of the stars on the Chinese flag is for the national bourgeoisie.
It remains to be seen whether they were right or this turns out to be some class collaborationist horseshit.
Honestly I think it is inaccurate to even call it a people’s democratic dictatorship; the influence of capital isn’t zero. It’s less than other countries, but for example, Cuba is a much better example of a place where the people have dictatorial control over policy.
it’s now looting the environment
It’s much better today than it was even 20 years ago. There is still significant work to be done and remediation of places that have elevated cancer rates due to lack of regulation enforcement will take a lifetime, but you’re talking about the wrong China.
minorities in its own borders
This is a fabrication. Minorities have special protections and autonomy. It is exploiting its own people though, while there has been significant reductions in extreme poverty, they aren’t doing nearly enough here. [random Chinese people I talk to in China and border countries]
Land is taken by the state to build mines. Little regard for the people or the environment.
The answer is yes, it is a bourgeoisie democracy; a dictatorship of capital.
The original article has been deleted, but here’s an article about the article: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/may/15/australian-millionaire-millennials-avocado-toast-house
It’s wild to me that anybody can believe a judicial system can be non-political.
If that’s what they needed, just remember an equation that turns easily remembered numbers into a 384 bit key.
Which book have you had recommended at you?
Primaries are for getting the candidates you want. General elections are for picking the candidate who is closest to your values. If you
The 2026 primaries were over the last few months, progressives made some gains, the DNC turned all their guns on the progressives, their media telling boomers “Yeah, we want <progressive policy that helps everybody> and you want <progressive policy that helps everybody>, but imagine a conservative suburban woman who hates good policy. You should vote for who the Bailys would vote for in the general.”
Since then the incumbents who didn’t get primary’d have been either passing ghoulish policy that will decrease their chances in the general election now that they’re safe from the left, or complaining about a twitch streamer.
They’re downvoting you instead of engaging because they literally do not care about the struggle of trans people beyond its utility to punch left.
You did genocide and you still lost, so what was the fucking point of it?
Was losing worth it?
The problem is everyone drinking then riding a bike with a phone in 1 hand and a cigarette in the other, wearing a thin plastic hat with zero protection instead of a helmet and ignoring red lights.
But if the anti-drunk-motorcycling initiatives are a bit more successful like they have been for car operation in the US, and they continue to expand the bus system while lowering cost, it will be much safer than the US, just because everyone rides so slow and cars watch out for bikes. I have literally never seen road rage or people being a dick by trying to block someone from passing in Vietnam, meanwhile every motorcyclist in the US has had cars intentionally block them from filtering/splitting, yell at them, or try to push them out of their lane. Hell even on Lemmy I have had random car-brains tell me I am endangering them by splitting or passing traffic in ways cars can’t.
Over the last 2 years, since cops starting watching the worst lights and put cameras at a lot, I’ve seen many fewer people going 3+ seconds during a red light. I think it will be uncommon in a few more years.
