    Oh!? Well this is my head-cannon of the diffences…

    US Communists - Just buses? Are you kidding me? We need at least 50k km of highspeed rail, make rail travel free for all, even tourists! And seize all gigafactories and data centers to pay for it.

    US Democratic Socialist - Let’s do what Europe does* and provide free bus passes next to free healthcare.

    US Progressive - Let the free-market decide for men. Free bus passes only for people of minoritized identities and only if the bus will combat climate change, so diesel buses are out of the question.

    US Liberal - Let the free-market decide. Free bus passes if you can prove that you’re using it to go to work.

    US Right-wing - Rob the poor blind! Those who don’t contribute to society, should be punished for it. And no buses. If you need a ride, buy a car. If you can’t afford one, then get a job you filthy commie! Also, it’s the rich that contribute to society, so it should be the poor who should pay the most taxes in order to help those who keep the US economy thriving.

    US fascist - Transportation should be free for everyone, but especially for the native Americans. We believe in the power of the native Americans. And this all the fault of the rich. So kill the rich, kill the rich, kill the rich…Juice! Buses are part of their (((globalist elite))) agenda, the agenda of “you will own nothing and be happy”. Look up who runs the WEF. Pay good attention to their ((( affiliations ))). So let us native Americans, who speak English and aren’t brown, unite against the Khazarian (((billionaires))) and their brown globalist allies. We should provide free bus passes for non-native Americans however, under the condition that they’re run by ICE and only with destinations outside of the US.


    • Very few countries in the EU provide free bus passes, so this group would actually be more to the left than EU social democrats and more close to EU socialist parties.







  • People who choose to suppress a growing power with the idea that they can easily win,
    then make it look like they’re the victims when the victims decide to fight back,
    with the ones standing up to themselves becoming stronger and stronger over time,
    and the suppressing people choosing to never negotiate a losing battle/war
    apart from demanding that the winning party makes concessions to let them win,
    deserve to die through the consequences of their own actions.

    Bonus points for those people who fly banners of freedom and progressiveness
    while their organizers get paid by doing the bidding
    of oppressive conservative foreign agents
    who want their country to regress for their own gains of power.
    And while displaying their wicked pop-culture chants, posters and gestures,
    are often demanding their government to retract a reasonable proposal such as
    ‘murder, and that includes any incel strangling his perceived girlfriend to death,
    should be made illegal, even if you’re on a vacation’
    or ‘stop taking money from foreign agents’
    that are mild copies of laws from said foreign agents’ country.

    And even more bonus points for the appointed new leader
    legitimized through a so-called international award of good behavior.

    And I say this because while all the hypocrisy is absolutely infuriating,
    to top it off by trying to chop off the hand and head
    that tries to give you mercy, then there’s no redemption,
    only more and more defense against
    a more and more deadly risky liable escalation

    Yes and the manual install taught me how to deal with DEs refusing to start without having to do a full reinstall.
    It’s such a pleasure to be able to save your setup no matter what the issue, apart from the time I accidentally erased my hard drive with a sudo rm -rf * command that was supposed to wipe a USB drive.







  • Lojban for now
    Certainly not Esperanto

    1. Lojban like Esperanto has been created to be a neutral lingua franca.
    2. I’ve heard that it’s a logical language that tries to do away with ambiguity and that sounds interesting to me.
    3. Esperanto feels like a language made for the EU rather than the world and so do all Esperanto look-a-likes.
    4. Lojban sounds like a cross between Romansh and a lost native American language. Not good compared to my two favorite sounding languages, Japanese and French, but at least more neutral than Esperanto. Esperanto sounds Spanish and Interlingua sounds like an Italian that thought that Esperanto should sound Italian and I don’t like how either of those two languages sound.

  • Yeah, so I have a problem with #1 and #2 as to what we were taught.
    Because what usually happens is…

    1. Observe a phenomenon
    2. Wonder how that works
    3. Search for information on wikipedia
    4. Gain knowledge

    You don’t need to raise questions then.
    The only time you raise questions is when there’s a lack of knowledge on the thing
    and I think it’s more often the case that your theory starts when there IS knowledge,
    but you think it’s either externally wrong (that’s not how the balls fall when I drop them from the leaning tower of Pisa)
    or internally wrong (This author is saying balls and objects in general fall due to air pressure, but in another book the author says balloons float due to air pressure, huh?!?)
