Mine is like thick sauce under saran wrap, every once in a while I have to poke around the screen to stir the pixels back into place

Let me introduce to you the Brazilian hot dog:

In my region of Brazil we have three flavors (!!!!) of hot dog: beef (filled with meaty Bolognese), chicken (shredded chicken cooked in tomato sauce) and mixed (both; yes, BOTH!!).

Things Brazilians put in hotdogs:

• Hot dogs. How many, you ask? Well, how many do you want?
• Corn
• Peas
• Ground beef
• Chicken
• Cheese
• Cabbage
• Vinaigrette
• Mashed potatoes
• Bacon
• Crispy straw potatoes
• Olives
• Cooked quail eggs

2021 was vaccine and mask year for me, as a healthcare student. I remember it because I started my internship period, and the human contact got me out of my 2019 depression. I got a pretty good order of rotations and didn't get COVID so I can't complain.

Thanks for the sauce! The Nordic argument gets used far too often by center-leftists in the core imperial countries because they already assume a level of available wealth which can only be sustained by the exploitation of the colonized rest of the world.

The greed of the rich will never be sated. They may retreat or bide their time but they will come back for more, until they have sucked every drop of your blood.

Left toe on clutch, right heel on brake, right toe on gas. Good for revving the car at the traffic light if the engine's cold or if you're a jackass.

Can't hate what doesn't exist

Israel will build some very nice Jewish beachfront colonies over the bloodstained rubble. It's what they've been doing in the West Bank and Jerusalem, at least.

Coming genocide? It has been escalating slowly for a while. The amount of blood already on the hands of the IDF before this attack was already enough to drown them twice over.

Much like that UN report classifying Israel's action against Palestinians as Apartheid (which is criminal in international law), much will be said and very little will be done about this. The state of Israel has been going against international law and agreements for almost its entire existence: see its support for illegal colonies and the walling and ghettoization of the West Bank and Gaza. Israel's government has confidence that the US and NATO won't do anything to stop their criminal actions against Palestinians because that is what they've been doing for the last half century. They will continue to coddle Israel until it fulfills its goal of completely exterminating or expelling Palestinians from the land between the river and the sea, forging a state with a single ethnicity, culture and religion out of Palestine.

PS: just before anyone claims it: no, I do not support gratuitous acts of terrorism by Hamas, just as I don't support Israel's terrorism against Palestinians. All I'm trying to do is point out the historical context of the current conflict, so that nothing is distorted.

It's not the end of the world, it's the end of the world as we know it.

Reddit is becoming a harsher place for the kind of community-driven, higher investment content that made it what it is today (which is less profitable) and a better place for mindless scrolling and sleazy engagement-baiting mostly fed by automatic content aggregators (which is more profitable).

Plenty of communities will remain due to inertia: switching platforms is hard. As far as I'm concerned, I will keep using reddit for two reasons: and to check in on a few communities that I am actually engaged in.

IIRC, leftists were some of the first people on Reddit to start exploring Lemmy as an option. I found out about Lemmygrad a few years before the APIcalypse, but there wasn't enough motive to compensate for the inconvenience before.

Anyway, gotta love a platform that hasn't been drowned in the tsunami of sewage that is 21st century imperialist ideology (yet).

I recently got a cat that I named Fraldinha ("Skirt Steak" in Portuguese) because the person that gave it up had named it Li-Fraumeni after a genetic syndrome. He is now called Felipinho (Lil' Phillip), but also answers to Pest and Toe-biting son of a b****.
