A lot of words but not many sources here. So here’s a few:

Marx defined socialism as: “…Socialized man, the associated producers, regulate their interchange with nature rationally, bring it under their common control, instead of being ruled by it as by some blind power; they accomplish their task with the least expenditure of energy and under conditions most adequate to their human nature and most worthy of it. But it always remains a realm of necessity. Beyond it begins that development of human power, which is its own end, the true realm of freedom, which, however, can flourish only upon that realm of necessity as its basis.”

— Capital III, translated by Ernest Untermann, Charles H. Kerr & Co., Chicago 1909, p. 954

To understand Marx’s definitions you have to realise he was writing mostly in response to the Paris Commune uprising and therefore saw ‘communism’ as the practical application of a theory of socialism. However, the terms and their meaning were radically reshaped by Lenin, Mao and Stalin.

— The Paris Commune: First Proletarian Dictatorship, Revolution, Vol. 3, No. 6, March 1978.

In March 1918 the Bolshevik Party was renamed the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik) in order to distinguish it from Social Democratic parties in Russia and Europe and to separate the followers of Lenin from those affiliated with the nonrevolutionary Socialist International.

I’ve run into multiple websites like this in the last 6 months. It sucks.

“I love Hitler” – (Kan)Ye, December 1, 2022

slrpnk.net is great

I’ve also started hosting my own at prxs.site

Ok that was good

The issue was later found to be from sunlight streaming into the spacecraft through a tiny gap.

This would be so frustrating. The problem solving process would be a nightmare.

It seems like it’s an issue with manufacturing consistency/quality. The report said some cars were getting literally half their advertised range on daily commutes. That’s not an amount that could be accounted for by driving styles.

Maybe if all the employees presented a united front. Like a sort of joint group of just the employees. Together in a union of sorts.

Yep. It’s tough to feel like you’re directionless and lacking purpose. I get it. I felt this way about my job. Personally I found solace in volunteering and doing things that helped people.

Superhuman patience.

When the weather hits 40⁰ around here I might head to the cinema. They’re usually really well temperature controlled, dark and allows you to get out of the sun when it’s at its height. Nights when it doesn’t cool down are harder.

The Hooligans of Kandahar by Joe Kassabian.

I’d actually add the new DnD movie to the list.

Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. 189 hours attempting to create a sustainable, green powered, communist utopia.

Every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Being legally required to not serve intoxicated people is pretty much the standard across Australian states and NZ.

I enjoy it in that I find it helps me disconnect from work. Not even consciously, I just find after running for 40 minutes any lingering mental hangover from my office job are gone. It’s similar to what happens when doing volunteering or community work.
