The same US that perpetuated its own crimes against humanity during their 20 year long campaign of illegal occupation and destabilization of the Middle East? I'm shocked they'd just turn a blind eye to it in the name of war profiteering

first anyone who would call themselves a pinko isnt a communist, ur probably a rad lib

She basically has no chance of being Trump's VP now...

Disagreed. This cements her as the front runner. She's had the cosmetic surgery to give her that far-right plastic bimbo look, she's cruel to animals and brags about it (Trump famously hates animals and pets), she's a woman and someone who wont upstage him in the spotlight, she kisses his ass religiously, and she's generating controversy to take away heat from whatever insane shit he's doing this week. She's the lock in. You think Trump gives a shit about traditional "electability?" It's been clear since he started campaigning the second time that any and all guard rails that may have been there the first time around are gone. His entire platform is just cult of personality. There is no policy. He doesn't care which traditional voter block she can attract/rebuff. She'll be there to look pretty, back up everything he says, and not upstage him. Nothing else matters for him.

Take it from a self-identified pinko commie and someone born in one of those regimes, it was not real communism. It was authoritarianism with a strong (but at times selectively applied) social safety net. To say that their grandparents deserved it when you know nothing about them is fucking absurd. You're not helping your point or cause. You're just being a child.

Imo, your friend, and some in this thread, misrepresent, or simply do not grasp beyond the very surface meaning, the nature of Karma. It is not good or bad - it simply is. It is the cause and effect in all of universe and existence as we perceive it. It is not that your individual bead on the chain will suffer or be rewarded for actions your previous bead form took (if you even believe in reincarnation), but rather that all of nature and all of existence is inextricably tied together, the influence and impact of one bead reverberates through the string that connects all and thus impacts all. Put another way, suffering and discord put into the universe will impact all future events, some to lesser degree than others. That impact may not necessarily be negative on the micro level for any given individual or life being, but on the macro level it nonetheless adds to the overall entropy and disharmony in the universe. The idea of nirvana is reaching a state where one is attuned to a state of consciousness and existence that does not generate Karma, but rather simply exists and floats on a universal wave, existing as an inseparable and fully necessary part of the wave, simply observing and letting what was, is, and always was going to be be.

I ask bc I'd be interested to take a crack at it, free of charge. It's been a while though since I've done a commissioned piece and with life things it'd be a week or two at the earliest before I could get an initial draft to you, but if you'd like to share the details and have me put something up I can start this weekend

What kind of design/style and timeline did you have in mind?

I've been using storygraph for a year now and couldn't be happier. Worth checking out as well if you're shopping around.

This is the shit they're spending their time on. Smh

You mean you dont want to watch a 30 minute video on "how to change a lightbulb" with only 30 seconds of actual content you need/were looking for shoved somewhere in the back that you spend more time searching for than if you had actually read the manual?!

It's not the fact they're showing the victim but moreso the fact that they're using the victim's image as propaganda to paint a disingenuous argument that immigration itself is dangerous, that all immigrants are dangerous by the very nature of being immigrants, and the only way to save young white women is to stop immigration. If anything, they're defiling her memory by using her as a cheap prop in their lies and hate speech instead of focusing on the actual problems that perpetuate crime and the cycle of violence. It's all bluster and no substance.

To add to this, on Lemmy I often find myself both agreeing and disagreeing with a user depending on the topic and community. It adds a layer of additional context and nuance to that user. If I was just to follow the user vs. community, however, I may get the impression that the user is not worth following if I happen to run across them on a topic that we have disagreements on.

Wouldn't have minded a little drizzle of gravy on top tbh 😜

This chain went in a direction I did not expect but I'm. here. for. it!

TIL

The basil added a nice light lift against the onion jam and goat cheese.

Cool! This was my "lucky 10k" fact today

The hardest part was just having to wait to cut into it

Highly encourage it! If you have any other combos you'd recommend I'd love to try them
