    As per last Putin’s speech “The DPRK military, acting shoulder to shoulder with the Russian military in the Kursk region, showed resilience and heroism.”

    So basically DPRK are now officially destroying Nazis again, and I’m really happy they are helping us. Lot’s of people in Russia are propagandised by the west and think that DPRK is a prison, so maybe the fact that they’re liberating Russia will change something?

    Also it’s good to know that DPRK is finally getting some modern war experience, that’ll for sure help them in the future.

    I need a “office job simulator” game where all you do is engage in office drama through email chains.

    I just want to take a moment to thank those I’ve encountered here and elsewhere who set a good example for taking the time to talk through things in detail, with patience, in spite of knowing it won’t always go well or have a desired outcome. We all have limits on our patience and some of us more than others have stricter limits on our time, but when possible to take that time, it can have benefits and I appreciate the time others have taken with myself and others over the years, and the lesson from that.

    Just downloaded Ublock Origin so I could filter out the Reddit search bar. When I procrastinate I type in stuff on Reddit a lot, so I’m happy I could find a solution for this.

      Have you used uBlock Origin before?

      It’s indispensable to me!

      Honestly, I really like extensions for browsers in the modern age.

        I hadn’t used it before! It was through asking Deepseek that I found a solution for my problem. And yeah I like extensions as well. They make browsing the web fun again.

    I just went to my first union meeting. It was on a thursday morning so there were a lot of retirees. But there were some younger people. I was very nervous since it was my first time and I didn’t know anybody. But eventually I could connect to some people.

      Did you like what was discussed? I have no idea of the ideological framework of FNV and I always wondered how radical things are over there.

        It was a small meeting for Worker Memorial Day, and a lunch afterwards. There was not much discussion on their ideology but one person did call herself leftist, and another person talked about discrimination women and LGBT people face in Amsterdam, and others were in agreement about what was said. I heard nothing bad.

    I’d like to express how astoundingly great this platform is. Especially if one compares it to Reddit (since that’s where I had heard about this platform).

    Like, I was already on board with the whole idea of having federated groups and not be reliant on one massive corporation that, among other things, can treat its users and communities however it deems fit. But also, just the quality of conversations here is on a completely different level.

    Just to give an example, after being helped so much with a question I had here, I made the mistake of trying to ask a different question I was curious about over at Reddit.

    While here I received truly helpful replies, comments and resources that actually helped me with my question (in addition to giving me food for thought to challenge my own ideas), over there I was belittled for not knowing enough about the very topic I was asking questions about lol.

    Y’all are some seriously smart folks and I wanted to appreciate you and this platform for all the precious knowledge you’re willing to share! <3

    I visited the Royal Palace today since they have opened their greenhouse for the public for a few days. My love for plants transcends my hate for the monarchy so I had to have a look.

    It is absolutely obscene the area their palace occupies. Like, you could walk a 5km round through their gardens and still not see half of it. Paired with a ginormous palace. And not a single piece of grass is cut in the wrong way.

    The most ironic moment I had there was when I overheard some guy talking about refugees being privileged, while walking around the palace gardens of a literal nepo baby.

    We should 100% make this a public ground in the middle of a 2 million people city.

    I’m a bit worried about the anti-prescription drug sentiment that’s sweeping the nation, or seems to be seeping into it.

    It’s lowkey, but I’ve noticed it for years now, and now I see YouTube videos and articles saying “RFK, Jr. is crazy but he’s right about one thing!” and it’s usually pretty stupid or, well, factually wrong.

      I wonder if you could get it in front of a “true crime” demographic in a more mainstream space. That might be a way to both broaden audience and make it easier to find people who would tip. A potential issue in a place like this is people may be more money poor, even if they’d like to be able to tip (though couldn’t hurt to try anyway).

      Currently I don’t have any disposable income, but if I manage to get my shit together this year I probably would contribute a little bit. I find your posts really useful, and I hope they keep coming and are properly archived for future reference.
