be cay do grimes

that’s what it does now

oh, i’m not blaming you, it’s actually always the same for me:

1. I see a pic
2. I zoom in and drag it all across the screen to read
3. i scroll down to se comments / the rest of the post
4. I see that it had image transcription all the time

guess I’m just a dumbass :D

so what’s the nuance here? While striving for communistic utopia on paper, Stalin’s regime is quite fascistic from my perspective.

I don’t like to do that, but here’s quote from wikipedia:

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Stalin’s regime does not correspond to the definition of fascism only in terms of how nationalistic it was, since the USSR was quite multinational, and had an objective to give prosperity to everyone regardless of one’s nation, although a number of actions were performed in order to preserve cultural and linguistic uniformity. Supression of Ukrainian poetry (see “Executed Renaissance”), linguistic bans, deportation of Crimean Tatars - those are the examples that i know of, but there were more in other regions.

Fascism is a broad term, and sometimes it’s used to refer to literally any authoritarian regime. While i don’t quite agree, and think that we should call it fascism only if it’s made in Emilia-Romagna region of Italy circa first half of XX century, otherwise it’s just a sparkling totalitarism, most people find the modern definition quite handy, and being that pedantic equals to being buzzkill anyways. In other words, i think it’s ok to call Stalin a fascist if you’re not a history geek (in the latter case i kinda feel your pain tho).

So… Presumption of asexuality?

Sounds nice

oh, there was a transcription I could’ve read instead of inspecting the image with a microscope :D

i believe y’all need to check this out

all migrate to kavone now! >:3

same lol

you just woke up, but already up for violence?That’s the attitude i respect

damn bro, you didn’t have to call out me like that

Well, i mean, if mint works for you, its perfect! My suggestions come from my personal experience, demands and regrets, so be ware that they might not suit you, though i believe that one should try everything.

Welcome aboard! I did same like a year before, and it’s been a blast!

If you were me from the past, I would’ve definitely recommended you to try out tiling WMs (Guess AwesomeWM is a good start) ASAP! I can’t stress enough how good they’re, especially if you prefer using keyboard shorcuts over mouse navigation.

Also, if you’ll find linux mint problematic, I want to suggest you to try out EndeavourOS (i wish i would’ve done it sooner myself). It’s installation is as simple, but it’s based on arch, and arch has one of the most comprehensive wikis, which allows you to troubleshoot basically any problem. Also. newer software versions get there faster, and finally AURs, that will allow you to forget about manual software installation at all.

Ah yes, the fabled ‘Task succeded failurely’

if i were to guess, i’d say that for people it’s not a problem with those hobbies in particular, but rather with the fact that the question implies you to say the most exciting things you do in a free time, therefore if you answer “anime and playing games” they consider you boring and uninitiative.

sounds like an unnecessary overcomplication tbh

it’s either you’re too paranoid about the attacks, or i’m too careless

it’s funny how there’s this kind of meme for every eastern-european contry. It’s not funny that i live in one, but still yet to meet a cute feminine boy:(

guess, you sould’ve kept your joke a bit simpler, stupider even :D
