It's called Homoerotic Ambiguity and is even more common in fascist propaganda.

That day has come.

The 'compulsion for stealing' has survived the era of hired agricultural hands. Socialism has not only sustained it, but extended it to the entire society. It became a built-in part of the whole system. Stealing (and I use this term in its broadest sense) in all its ritual, symbolic and other implications, has become an engrained element of peasant culture today, as much a part of it as, say, Maypoles or Easter eggs. Stealing these days is not done by just some people but by almost everyone. The chief accountant steals just the same as the animal-feeder who hides groats in his trousers or in her bra, or the watchman who knows full well what goods workers smuggle home, or the swine-tender who deliberately breaks the animal's leg on the trough so that members of the cooperative may buy it cheaply. ('You want a suckling? You shall have it tonight ... ') Everyone is familiar with the system. What a cooperative member finds demoralizing is not the fact that the whole system is based on stealing, but that he cannot steal enough (Sozan, 1985: 95-6, this author's translation).

No plans. I die like a real man.

One friend of mine does that. I think it's because his parents weren't very close when he was growing up.

The world was an easier place to keep it together back then.

Then you should police your users better.

Also, most of the communists believed in international socialism from the start, that they will all unite against capitalist countries. Only to start fighting between each other later.

Not fully, but it has some people who's political opinions are out there. And the admin tends to simp for China themselves.

And lemmygrad. And probably db0.

If you found it in China, then its native there. I read about some plants of this family being invasive across some Pacific islands.

In that case it might be something like Achyrates Bidentata or one of its relatives. A lot of those are used in traditional medicine.

During the Chinese Liang Dynasty, Achyranthes bidentata was used for its abortion effectiveness. Chinese folk doctors would take the juices of crushed up Achyranthes bidentata and insert them into the vagina to induce abortion.[4] This abortive technique was common among folk medicine practitioners in southern China during the Republican period.[5]

Yikes.

I've heard that OpenAI loses money even on their most expensive plans, which are 400$/month.

Do you remember Dancer Bus? The Lithuanian Oem (Vėjo projektai consortium) had landed on the market in 2018 with a revolutionary bus: transparent and wind-powered. Then, in 2023, at Busworld in Brussels, it was back to make headlines with another very special vehicle: a 12-meter electric, with an unladen weight of just 8.6 tons, thanks to a strong and lightweight composite body made from plastic also collected in the oceans.

Lo and behold, unfortunately, the Lithuanian Oem has declared bankruptcy. The official announcement came on Linkedin, with a post by founder Alvydas Naujekas. A lightning bolt out of the blue? Almost, since from Busworld 2023 2023 to date there had been no particular news, neither of new products, nor of orders and deliveries from Dancer Bus, despite the company’s proclamations and plans, such as the construction of a new factory that would allow the assembly of more than 500 pieces per year.

Why Dancer Bus is bankrupt?

The pandemic hit Dancer Bus hard, and a key step came in 2022, when – as reported by the Ukrainian media ain – the company turned to the investment fund NuCapital for a 1.8 million euro loan; a loan granted until July 2025 and obtained by pledging the factory as collateral.

According to what Naujekas wrote, it was NuCapital that caused Dancer Bus to go bankrupt. The fund, however, returned the accusations to the sender, saying it was simply working to recover the loaned capital.
