I would love to incorporate local Dutch elements in my clothing, but Dutch traditional clothing is so ugly, impractical, and region-specific so don't want to do that. Don't know what else I can do. If only there was a contemporary Dutch style of clothing I could use.

17-18th century Dutch Calvinist Burgher Drip. Just dress as the last (successful) revolutionaries in Dutch history.

Ew, drippy burghers are gross, way too much sauce, and probably not a good idea if they want to dress in nice clothes, it'll stain them.

I got like bronchitis or something and man is it beating me down hard. I was better for a day or two but it RKO'd me outta nowhere again. Feels like inhaling glass shards.

[–] Weyland@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

"Or something".. Get checked? Also, don't leave home with bronchitis. Comrades shouldn't infect other comrades, even if it's just a flu. Get some symptom relief drugs prescribed just in case, and if it still isn't gone after a week get some antivirals (most doctors don't know about antivirals, so you'll have to mention it).

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It’s because using antivirals on non-serious conditions, even if they kick your ass, is how we get super bugs and ineffective anti-vitals.

[–] Weyland@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 months ago

True, but Dankzedong said it has been going on for weeks at this point. I'm just making the suggestion, in the end it's up to doctor's discretion.

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have been checked twice now as it has been going on for weeks. First I got like an ionized mouth wash, the second time I got an inhaler and some numbing spray for my throat. I felt better for two days but it's back again. Called in sick and I'm now trying to contact my doctor for yet another review.

I was given a box full of books today and among them were Animal Farm and literally 1984. Should I read them?

[–] Weyland@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Why not? First time I read it was last year when I bought it through a vending machine at a Chinese train station. At this point it's just a meme, and won't give you any insight to the oppositions psyche.

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 5 months ago

Reading books to understand the liberal psych is impossible today, I don't think they read books

[–] DarthCaedus@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Book vending machines are so cool.Contrast that with the reddit vending machines elsewhere.

[–] Weyland@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nahh, it still cost a multiple of the initial asking price.

China does have smart libraries strewn about the place, especially in cities with low income, that are located along city streets and parks, which provide free Wi-Fi, charging and air conditioning. You can borrow books with an app for almost free (albeit with a required deposit that gets charged if you don't return it)

Those two would be better used as toilet paper.

Is it just me, or does the page now repeatedly scroll up while creating a thread?

ETA: Seriously, half of the time when I click on the preview button or on markdown it immediately sends me back up the page. Is anybody else getting this? It’s fucking annoying.

How is Snyder being quoted here? Isn’t this historian a shitlib?

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 5 months ago

Luckily she's gone from the party.

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Snyder isn't a shitlib, he's a fascist, same as Anne Applebaum. They repeat Nazi propaganda about the Soviet Union and whitewash the crimes of Nazi collaborators, mass murderers and butchers of civilians under the excuse that they were just "brave anti-Soviet freedom fighters".
