Could also be a business you owned for a year after getting a business license. Owned my own for a while from 2012 to 2014, and it’s been my employer on all my resumes since. I never include any shit I did after, just keep that one as if I worked there as a supervisor from 2012 to present day. Works wonders.

It’s the best thing ever!

I meant the phrase, not the font, but yes, you’d need embroidery for cursive to my knowledge. But my cross stitch is often a mix of the two, I use dissolvable lattice so you can stitch directly onto fabric like a pillowcase or a T-shirt, instead of being stuck with just Aida cloth, so a lot of the time it’s both traditional cross stitch and free hand embroidery

Ive been trying to find a new cross stitch to work on at night to help with the insomnia. I think this might be it.

Metropolis has no cell signal, due to the large deposits of Plotrelevantanium in the soil, so they actually do still have a ton of phone booths

“The Canadians are mutilating children. They’re cutting their genitals off, and forcing them to live as the opposite sex. They’re brainwashing children into thinking that this is normal, that it’s good. A cult of child predators has taken over the government in Ottawa, and they’re using their power to mutilate, to brainwash, to destroy children and families. And some of them speak French!”

And that’s all it will take to get plenty of soldiers on board. Whether or not the US can hold Canada I don’t know. A Canadian friend of mine seems to believe not. But getting violent, hateful, transphobic bigots to sign up? It’s that easy. Hell, most of em might not even be service members. Just happy bigoted volunteers, crashing the border and setting off fertilizer bombs attached to department store drones, all for the simple joy of “owning the libs” and “protecting the children”

I’m going to that this at face value and assume you were high or sleepy. Lmao

That is something like a lemon curd or custard inside, and a pink buttercream style frosting on top.

Wasn’t aware of the term, but that’s my mom. She learned to read before she was 3, and was reading books meant for middle school children by the the age of 4. Moved on to grown up/high school and beyond books by the time she was like 7 or 8. She’s also been a life long lover of word and number games, and taught me how to count cards when I was kid. She can count cards in games with 2 and 3 decks. Got kicked out of a casino for it when she was in her 20s. Lol.

Eta:

Her sisters (closest in age is 11 years older than her) taught her to read, and all of her siblings were also young readers, but none quite as young as her.

Probably not in the US, but hopefully it’ll at least be accessible for the insured…

Doesn’t come across as rude! Always happy to be educated.

Okay, so, it was my understanding that the ultimate end goal, say, 200 years after the revolution, the society would be practically the same between anarchists or communist. That just the means and transitonary state would be different. Once the state has withered away, once we have achieved classless, stateless, moneyless, it would be virtually or actually, and definitely practically, the same.

I’d love to know to more if that’s not the case, and how they would differ. To be honest, I knew more 5 years ago, but I’ve forgotten a lot of theory and checked out pretty substantially for a while.

D:

Honest to goodness, it was freaking good. I’m sure the Europeans would absolutely die if they tried it, they’d be so offended we call it cheese, but it was good .

Oh Lord, ask someone smarter than me! Lol. I was clarifying terms more than anything else. Communism is an end stage, an eventual goal. That’s the big sticking point between anarchists (hi!) and communists. Communists believe in capturing the state so that it can be transformed and eventually wither away to become a communist society, anarchists believe in dismantling the state and creating communism directly. There are other differences, including how we define terms such “the state,” but that’s the jist.

I guess firstly, I should probably out myself that I’m not a Marxist leninists, but more along the lines of a syndicalist or platformist. Council communist is a semi appropriate term. I also don’t believe the same system that would work in rural Tennessee would be viable for urban New York. I believe in democratic, worker control. Consensus democracy and direct democratic control. The trouble is, I, and many others, don’t believe that communism is possible in just a single area. It would be subsumed, attacked, overthrown. It, by necessity, must be either a world wide movement to achieve True Communism™, or it would need to be isolated, insular, and completely or near completely self sufficient. The latter option is, frankly, kind of shit, and in my opinion, when combined with more authoritarian means and the “capture the state” side of things, leads to dictators and shitty conditions.

What? I had no idea! I manually migrated my subscriptions over when I switched!

It was hard for me, so I vote everyone must manually do it, for character building or some such bullshit.

We had government cheese in the late 90s and early 00s. Honestly, it was good. I don’t know wtf the difference between gubment cheese and American cheese was, but it was so much better than regular American cheese.

I don’t think money makes a society inherently capitalist, money predates capitalism by a loooong time, but I agree that if it has money it isn’t communist. It can be on its way to communist, a transitonary state, and depending on your definition it can be socialist, but communist is explicitly a moneyless, classless, stateless society. So, yeah, if it’s got it money, it’s not communist, but saying it’s capitalist is to create a false dichotomy of there only being fully realized communism or capitalism, with nothing outside of or in-between the two.

Eta: replied to the wrong person in the thread. Whoops. Meant to reply to the original commenter on this thread.

Disagree or not, let’s not turn “reddit refugee” into some kind of insult. Damn near everyone on this site is a reddit refugee. Lemmy is a great alternative to reddit because it feels welcoming around here, and comments like that really fuck up the whole ethos.

The last one there is my basic philosophy for real life. Magic is real, we just understand it really, really well
