now i've never used a sickle in my life but every time i see the Chinese hammer & sickle, i think: that's a really impractical handle on that sickle.

every other hamsic has a decent rectangular handle, but the CPC just has a little nub. what gives

From the Mississippi to the Pacific 🤔

i, for one, support the annexation of California into the People's Republic of Nevada

This is why we keep the "critical" in "critical support", comrades. What a hellworld we live in where this dumpster country is the second biggest threat to american hegemony.

REST IN PISS

here's the original publication: meltingasphalt.com/ads-dont-work-that-way/

…i'm not sure what you're getting at, maybe i didnt summarize properly. give the article a read and see if it makes sense to ya.

rules-based order (i make the rules and order every one around)

the article very clearly explains that. Give it a read, it's not that long.

…but if you aren't going to read it, the summary is that the way we think ads work, associating brands with positive emotions (termed "emotional inception" in this article), is bollocks. Instead, they rely on "cultural imprinting", i.e. associating the brand with a kind of person or situation. For example, corona is the beer for relaxing on the beach, nike and gatorade are for athletes. So, if you want to relax with some homies, you drink corona. If you value athletic performance, you drink gatorade and wear nike shoes. Major exceptions apply, please just read the article.

why is Russia blank? does no one in Russia edit wikipedia??

those links don't work. also i noticed i follow @prolewiki@matapacos.dog perfectly fine, though a lot of the acct's follows/followers dont show up from kolektiva. are you sure it's still defederated?

matapacos defederated from kolektiva for what security concerns? i too am a kolektiva user hiding my power level and looking to migrate, but i dont want to lose the comrades ive met on kolektiva :(

it's the "i'm almost enjoying my anger!" mood, the deliberate exposure to things you don't like for the catharsis and/or sense of superiority that's not unique to internet libs, see also 'shit X says' communities that exist everywhere under the sun.

…and liberals once again thinking their votes matter 😎
