This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Don't you just hate it when your mortality gets shoved into your face? I just noticed that my hairline has started to recede and my hair is starting to thin out on top. Its not a vanity thing, its just the reminder that my meat suit is starting to degrade and I can't get a new one.

One of the biggest reasons I work out tbh. Both my grandpa's died mid seventies so K always saw that as old. They were old for me when I was a child as well but they were actually like end of fifties / early sixties then. But they were like old grandpa's already, just sitting inside, having health issues and whatnot. Years of smoking, drinking and bad diet caught up to them.

Then I met my father in law some years ago who has since embarked on a four month bike journey to Northern Norway and is also currently renovating a cabin in Sweden all by himself. All at the age of 66.

My point is: even though we are mortal, we have the option to get the best out of it as possible. It might not stop a receding hairline or decreasing eyesight all together but it might be the reason you can still cycle thousands of kilometers when you are far above 60.

alternative lesson: Don't look in the mirror for more than a moment and you won't see death coming up behind you.
