- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 5 days ago:
They’re getting downvotes for “not like it matters”. Every little bit matters and “limit eating red meat” helps too. You don’t need to completely stop.
Also the claim sounds weird to people who don’t know facts about shipping and how horrific it is for the environment. Most people think “plane bad” not “ship bad”.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 5 days ago:
Not really, check out their claim on google. Ships are polluting a shitton. They have huge engines that run on the crappiest fuel known to man. It’s so bad, that they have to switch to diesel by law when comming close to the shore / port so as to meet any semblence of environmental law. Something like the top 10 ships pollute more than all cars on Earth combined (exhaust gasses, not tire wear / brake dust).

Gog doesn’t have this. They specifically market it that you get to download a binary install and keep the game forever.

They did spy on their own people, and to get ahead, a lot of people collaborated with the government to report other people.

Going 20 is the definition of “letting them pass”. Or should she have ran off the road so the tailgating ahole could continue on going 90 in a 50 zone?
- Comment on Maybe someday 😌 1 week ago:
They’re not here to see “more nuanced takes” nor they care about them. They are here to brigade posts, spread propaganda and make any discussion a pain. You can’t even imagine how often tankies tried to tell me the history of my country is fake and they know the ultimate truth about it all, way better than the people who actually lived that history.
- Comment on Size Matters 1 week ago:
Everything is skewed, even the measured studies. Most insecure people won’t go to a literal dick measuring contest. Which means even the measured ones trend “upwards” of the actual average.

You are not recalling it correctly.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 2 weeks ago:
It is not a “polak joke” in any way, but you do you.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 2 weeks ago:
Jesus christ, yes, there are no jalapenos in the pastry. Because there are wasps on it. Making it “spicy”. What your post and the petulant “hint” glosses over is the fact that it is a professional bakery selling pastries, with Polish text on it, Polish currency and Polish units on it (szt). What it glosses over is the fact that had the text been in German, it would’ve been a German spicy pastry. Had it been in Greek, it would’ve been a Greek spicy pastry.
As I said, I have seen this EXACT thing hundreds of times in Poland, it isn’t anything new and it isn’t a “haha Polak so stoopid” joke.
So chill out and stop being outraged just to be outraged.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 2 weeks ago:
There is no joke, the text is in Polish and this happens all the time in bakeries with sweet shit laid out like this. So you want it to be a “polak joke” when it isn’t. This isn’t someone being racist / nationalistic / making this about haha those stupid Poles, this is literally a bakery in Poland with wasps on it, which isn’t uncommon to see.

The great depression has never starved millions of Ukrainians to death.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 2 weeks ago:
You gave me a singular anecdote from a state that didn’t exist for even three years.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 2 weeks ago:
If someone gives you an example of a communist country and then you go “no no that’s not communism” when in fact yes, it was communism, because otherwise as you yourself said “no country in the last 2000 years was communist” then that’s the true scotsman.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 2 weeks ago:
Cool. Yet you are ignoring the very tiny fact that collective farms started famines. They didn’t “just underperform”.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 2 weeks ago:
And yet people work in huge corporations and those are succeeding fine. Yet the collective farms that I mention led to famines and underperformed severely.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 2 weeks ago:
“I don’t believe your country was under communism, that’s not real communism” is EXACTLY the scotsman fallacy. But by all means, go for a lengthy post that says nothing.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 2 weeks ago:
It is Polish. No idea why the dude even went there, it is a Polish bakery with wasps on the food. Not uncommon to see over here with some places that are outside or keep doors open.
- Comment on A Polish jalapeño pastry 2 weeks ago:
The text on the pastry is literally Polish. It is a pastry in a Polish bakery. You don’t need to be outraged on behalf of someone else.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 2 weeks ago:
No true scotsman fallacy. I could say that no country was under ideal capitalism so you can’t criticize it either. You have to look at reality, not make believe nations that never existed.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 2 weeks ago:
And yet over here it is exactly what happened. So we have 3 years during a civil war, and 60 years of a failed state.
- Comment on We live wasted lives 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, people didn’t. They didn’t give a shit about the “collective” farms. They worked because they were forced to and fucked it up for everyone because there was no difference between giving it your all and slacking off. Hundreds of microfarms worked better than one large collective one because they didn’t think it was “ours” they thought it was “nobodys”.

Why would I EVER want communism to work? Would you “sit down” and start thinking “how do we get Nazi Germany to work”? Of course you wouldn’t.
- Comment on Just blocked hexbear 2 weeks ago:
Uh huh, forgot tankies like you think Poland doesn’t the right to exist as an independent nation. My bad mr overlord sir

“wHaTaBoUt”
- Comment on Just blocked hexbear 2 weeks ago:
Yeah defo a tankie. The absolute gall of these people to lecture the descendants of the victims of communism, about how great it was.
- Comment on Just blocked hexbear 2 weeks ago:
Nice strawman dipshit.
- Comment on Just blocked hexbear 2 weeks ago:
Sure you did read up on all the attrocities. But all I need to do is read an online article that will be a total 180 from what my grandparents, parents lived through, their struggles. Grandpa’s family will totally come back from Siberia and they will be 18 forever.
Dude, fuck you. You know nothing about communism. It is a scourge and you are part of the problem.
- Comment on Just blocked hexbear 2 weeks ago:
Yup, pretty much. Tankies are a scourge and the world would have been better without them in it.
- Comment on Just blocked hexbear 2 weeks ago:
I recommend you read up how communism actually worked, how oppressive of a regime it was and how many people died because of it. And yeah, communism is just as bad as fascism.
