GenZedong

Almost got into a fight with a 50 something year old boomer at the gas station today. Was buying my typical poison at the gas station and with four people behind me this fuck cuts right in front of me.

Dude cuts in front of four people for two lottery tickets and I just step up aside him and start pressing him about how much he spends per month on those things and why he acts like a crackhead. Got a jolly "Ohhh so I'm a crackhead now?" and he stepped towards me right in front of my face. At that point I just shoved him back into lottery machine that was right next to the cashier till and he kinda half-crashed out and stood up and walked out holding the tickets in his hand waddling towards his big-ass truck.

Was probably on camera, not sure if I'm gonna get into trouble but at these days I'm at a certain breaking point where I just don't give a fuck anymore. Hate these dumbass motherfuckers around here that grew up in petit-bougie homes that think the whole fucking world belongs to them.

Does anyone get these feelings? I have so much empathy for so many people in my life I work with, I deal with on a daily basis. I've volunteered for FNB and my local orgs. Does anyone else have this near homicidal rage when dealing with these blabbering caricatures of the truck driver from Disco Elysium? Just dealing with pure, selfish, unbridled pieces of fucking shit where you want to drive your thumbs to the back of their eye-sockets?

I’ve really been slacking off lately with /c/capitalismindecay. The main reason for that is that I have been focused on teaching myself Judezmo, which was easier for me to do from my smartphone than accessing writings on history was. I know that there is no ‘rule’ saying that I need to update that subcommunity daily, but I managed to keep at that for so long that I don’t want to disappoint somebody by taking another break despite having a working computer now.

Tragedy occurred today as I very unexpectedly lost a family member. The day has been kind of a blur and of course I am in a state of grief.

Despite all this one of the things I keep thinking about is work tomorrow, wondering if it's deserved for me not to go. If anyone came to me and asked me a question if they were in a similar situation, I'd say of course you should stay at home. For myself it's often more difficult, I find.

I just hate this system in which a natural and human thing to do, grieving, becomes a questionable thing because god forbid you miss out on a day of work. Fuck this system.

bruh did biden really say that the good news was that he became a great grandfather during the california fires? LMAO

Welcoming committee on Red Note is something else...

Good thing I already have a WeChat / Weixin account

that xhs app in japan. today morning

night

it was at 13 yesterday

Hey comrades, I made an Arabic lesson on hexbear's c/languagelearning if anyone is interested. Here is a Lemmygrad link.

Random thought: The vanguard party for a socialist state are kind of like astronauts. They have an understanding that:

• The stakes are high for any mistakes

• Logistics and scientific process are critical

• Discipline, principal, and training are critical

• No one is above criticism (no room for being egotistical)

• Any kind of corruption in the system has to be dealt with very seriously

One of the reasons I like this analogy is that in space, you're all depending on each other, whether you like it or not. There is no "I got mine" in space; you thrive and suffer together.

Anyone else expect biden to do one more escalation in ukraine to poison the chalice? I'm not sure what it will be but I feel he will make a military move of significance to try to force Putin to fight back.

Mr Beast trying to be a hero saying he will buy tiktok to stop the US Gov of banning it has to be the most stupid PR act ever, dude ITS GETTING BANNED PRECISELY BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO SELL IT TO AMERICANS INVESTORS.

Are looters even a thing in the US or is it copaganda? I feel like its crazy that looters are a thing, its a sign the US is broken society.

Known as Xiaohongshu, which translates to “little red book,” RedNote features a layout similar to Pinterest and is often described as a Chinese version of Instagram. According to TechCrunch, the app’s focus on short-term content, similar to TikTok, has helped it emerge as a viable alternative.

I can't believe this is real.

China does nothing: wins It’s amazing to see people downloading red note and causing it to reach number 1 in the iPhone App Store.

REDnote (小红书, XHS), the Instagram of China, mistaken for TikTok of China (technically it's Douyin), is getting more hype among American users.

There's a massive general strike in Belgium today. 30k strikers are in Brussels right now, mainly people working in the public sector. The strike today is against retirement reforms among some other things.

It's part of an initiative of the unions to strike every 13th of the month from now on. I participated in last month's strike and I was a bit sceptical about today's turnout but it's great to see so many people on the streets today. I decided to sit this one out though. But I work at the union so I'm at least somewhat involved.

I wonder how Hexbear is doing since i got banned from there

That's an incredible picture. Wish i could go there one day. Speaking of which, if any comrade here still hasn't read When Serfs Stood Up In Tibet, go do so asap (i linked the chapter on the visit to the Potala Palace cause i thought it fitting here, but you should probably start at the beginning, haha).

I hope you all have a nice week :D

With the TikTok ban coming (and probably gonna go through), do you guys think there'll be a local competitor pop up? Or will everyone just be on the cesspool that is Instagram? Or perhaps move to the other Chinese app RedNote?
