#JetDidNothingWrong and ofc he’s the only one in all of the Last Airbender that dies. I can’t wait to see how badly he’s fumbled in the shitty Netflix adaptation
Students around Belgium are starting to occupy campuses this week. Hopefully it goes well
do american liberals think that people occupying campuses rn are only a us thing? seems like it
Its definitely more noticeable in the US. In my country there isn’t a single one yet afaik.
Might visit one of them this week
Please do, it’s a good experience and makes you feel like you doing something worthwhile. And you learn a lot about organizing as well
I will probably visit tomorrow after work!
I did? lol
Funny mystery innit
In the Netherlands, two more campuses have been occupied now as well. Groningen and TU Eindhoven
I hope you all have a nice week :D
You too Oppo :D
Im on his side
And what if I do not want a nice week?
A bit weird but I won’t judge
Oppo
I am being condemned by the proletariat of lemmygrad for not giving you an animal video would you like an animal video?
An insect video would be cool too
Gonna have to go deep in the archives for sn insect video
This looks like that log bug thing from Kong: Skull Island, I didn’t notice it wasn’t a stick lol
Kirby once they learn stick insects are real
‘Insert shocked emoji’
Found it, I was thinking of this:
What’s next, Skullcrawlers? Bamboo spiders? Giant apes?
Thank you, very cool. I had them as pets when I was a child. It was a Sinterklaas gift.
They are cool

Why doesn’t he get an animal pic
Because he just like said my name and didn’t do a “you too” or a “:D” and I figured if he wanted one would be like “no animal D:?”
I see how it is, if someone meets you in person they stop getting animal tiktoks
:D
What if raccoons were called rizz goons
Washbears are the best animal
:Dn
Cute lawnmower!
You too Oppo!
so cute 🥺
I can’t wait to get in the psl!

Another week on this planet
A blessing and a curse
Question for comrades here:
Brace Belden that host of TrueAnon, what’s this dude’s background? From what I saw from recent twitter discourse, he was doing war tourism in Rojava and likely killed people. Any thoughts?
I remember when Rojava was a thing and chapo including the sub was really onboard with it so a lot of well meaning western left got swept up with that nonsense because of their propaganda banners and symbolism.
Killing people doesn’t make one a bad person. If he was killing ISIS he was killing US proxy forces. If he was killing Syrian government troops or their friends on the other hand he was doing US dirty work.
Some people say it’s proof he’s a US intel op and he could be. But he could just as easily be some weird idealist dude. I don’t think he’s harmful to listen to. He doesn’t have awful politics even if his professed bent isn’t quite ML, doesn’t really punch at AES states to my limited knowledge.
There’s a competing podcast or two that like to accuse him of being a fed which is also something feds might do to someone who isn’t so be careful about believing any random unsourced claims that are too over the top.
I am getting around to setting up a matrix client on my machine; I created

but my window only looks like this. It’s been like this for several minutes. Did I do something wrong?I mean it looks like light mode… I have only ever used dark mode so I cannot help you.
It’s been some time since I used Element. But I don’t think so. It seems like you just haven’t joined any rooms or started a conversation with someone.
Oh! I think I got it. I needed to join a channel.
Omg new person joining soon™️
Do people here have any experience with AliExpress? What’s the stuff one should look out for.
Like any online marketplace, too good to be true things are probable not true.
I’ve bought a lot of random guitar junk over the past couple of years. Never had an issue. Longer delivery times maybe.
Look for seller with longer history and good ratings. I’ve bought hundreds of dollars of random little items there, 100+ packages, and only 2 or 3 had issues or lost due to lost in transit after reaching my local area. If broken upon arrival, received refund, etc.
Another week in a world where the crackers haven’t gotten the only thing they deserve yet :/
While protesting on Dam square, one of us was chased by police and dragged into a police van. Either he was already targeted or the police singled out a random person to give us a warning. So crazy, never seen this before with my own two eyes. I’m safe now, returning home
Wild, hope he’s okay. Stay safe, scary stuff happening with these protests.
Hope so too, don’t even know who it was. It happened so fast.
feel for my pk bros
🤢🤮
was speaking to a family member who mentioned her coworker talking about “standing with Israel” which sent me into a full blown rant about how fucking evil Zionists are and how Palestinians are 100% justified in their attacks on Israel and I think my indignant rage kinda shook her a bit lol.
I feel like I’ve had this anger boiling just under the surface for so long and I finally opened a release valve and just went off about how Israel and the US are unequivocally evil. I ended up apologizing to her because once I cooled down I felt bad about blowing up on her but man it felt good to finally just release all that anger. I need a better way to channel it though
Apparently the Asian Hornet has won the battle against extermination here and the government and exterminators will just accept that the invasive species will thrive here. Money is also a big issue in this. It may or may not decimate native bee populations, but based on news articles nobody really seems to care.
At this point, I´d say have a nature battle galore. Introduce wild scorpions as they kill hornets. Breed millions of birds to kill them. Have exterminators put on three suits and fill their nests with fireworks. Have some fun, it’s not that anyone even cares anymore.
Capitalists will not let us win the fight against invasive species since it’s not profitable enough for them
Hornets and wasps are threat to society and flamethrower is the solution most of the time.
I’m at least willing to defend wasps as there are a lot more of them then just the standard yellow jacket. Lots of solitary wasps, for example, are great pest controls and some even help with pollinating. Even yellow jackets are useful as pest control.
The Asian Hornet however is invasive in Europe and is damaging other insects populations and even humans.
Yes, but wasps are also invasive in North America for example.
So are white people
Exactly
