Authoritarianism isn't a very good measure of government, when a monopoly on violence is one of the defining characteristics of a state. The difference is often more perception than it is reality, and even then tyrants can be vastly different from each other. Abraham Lincoln had Northern dissenters killed, and suppressed peoples rights, yet he was still a peak president.

Richard Nixon is the Shah. Saddam Hussein is the Shah. Modern Spain had death squads killing political opponents in my lifetime. Where isn't lead by the Shah?

what is a “teapot refinery”?

My understanding is it's a non-state-owned (and therefore relatively small) refinery. The term even seems to originate from China?

Yeah, the artist should've done something classy and definitely not fascist, like two lightning S's, a Black Sun, or a Wolfsangel. Would really go to show how much he supports Ukraine, who's war is extremely relevant to American local politics. His first act as mayor could be to ban the letter Z from use!

Congrats, that's not easy

Half of it is that we don't want more LEO attention, actionable threats of violence just aren't really something we can keep online. Hexbear is also supposed to be something of a refuge for Hexbears, where we don't have to deal with the toxicity and reactionaries that pervade real life and the wider internet. We've had a rule against harassment of users that we've enforced for years.

As long as you don't violate the ToS and CoC your stuff won't be removed. I can advocate violence against slave-owners, or say "Death to Amerika" all I want on Hexbear, since they don't violate the normal rules, and those aren't targeted at a user, a specific person, or a specific organization. After all posting about killing slaveowners (as in even specifically Civil War slave-owners, John Brown type posting) is why r/chapo was banned, and had to migrate to Hexbear.

I hope I'm explaining this well. I don't mod in this comm, but I mod a bunch of other places on Hexbear, so I like to think I understand the rules and their reasoning.

Yes, the main Lemmy devs, Dessalines and Nutomic, are Communists.

 

If they don't know you use Hexbear, you might not end up on a list for that

Holy shit, that's pathetic. There aren't even going to be any big elections anytime soon.

 

It's a gathering where a whole bunch of leftists that have successfully infiltrated the right get together and talk about politics. Major Antifa trans super soldiers who organized the event include Nick Fuentes and Jake Shields.

Infiltrators obviously don't want to give the game up, so they'll probably call it something different when they aren't among friends. America First Political Action Conference could be one example of a made-up name they use to cover for their Antifa activities.

 

Not my nails, obvs.

Some (beginner-focused) tips for painting your nails:

Lighter colors and solid colors are easier to work with. Pick a good color or few, you don't need to start too fancy.

Don't shake nail polish, that can mess it up. Roll it slowly if you ever need to mix.

Don't just do the coloration and call it a day, put clear nail polish on first, and put it over the color. That will protect your nails.

Consider getting nail polish remover when you get your nail polish, mistakes are easy.

Put your nails down on a flat surface, clean your nails (maybe with that nail polish remover?), and apply the clear base coat (doesn't need to be perfect). Stroke from the base of the nail to the top, until the nail is covered. It might get on your skin, that's normal, anything on your skin can be dealt with at the end. Let it dry, like you would any other kind of base coat.

Now that it's dry, do like what you did with your clear polish for colors. Base to tip, going from the center outwards. If you can still see through after it's covered, wait for it to dry a little, then do another layer.

Then apply your top coat to make smooth, shiny, and somewhat protected painted nails. Wait for it all to dry (very important), which could as long as normal working hours + commute. Don't mess it up. If you do, you might have to restart on some nails.

Now that it's dry the polish on your skin should act sorta like glue, where you can just peel it off, but if it's stubborn you could use a cotton swab with nail polish remover to carefully remove it (don't let it touch your nails!).

Now you should have nice smooth nails.

I finally got around to seeing "I Saw The TV Glow", and it definitely lived up to the hype.

Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you love with a burning passion based on more than vibes. Very preferably not large.

A good example is Cathode Ray Dude, who makes long videos on older technology. He doesn't seem to have done anything reactionary, he's got a personality far beyond "the algorithm", and he doesn't associate with any terrible people. And I enjoy his videos.

 

Warning: Grapefruit can interact with drugs, such as decreasing the effectiveness of estradiol, making Oxycodone last longer, increasing blood levels when on Viagra, and much more.

Grapefruit inhibits multiple enzymes in the small intestine, most notably CYP3A4. CYP3A4 is involved in the breaking down of a lot of drugs, so when it's inhibited Oxycodone becomes inactive slower, and estradiol won't break down all the way into estrogen. Drugs that are affected by grapefruit will often have warnings on their packaging

Personally, I like putting just a little bit of salt on my grapefruit, to counteract the bitter flavor. Dumping sugar on it doesn't help. Grapefruits are about half as sour as lemons, since they have half the citric acid content.

Grapefruits were accidentally created as a cross between the sweet orange and the pomelo, in Barbados. Those fruits originate from Asia, but were brought to the Caribbean in the 17th century. Since it's parent fruits are native to Asia, it grows well in Asia too.

some-controversy and peekaboo (China and Vietnam) are the two largest producers of Grapefruits, producing collectively 6.3 million tons out of the 9.8 million tons of worldwide production.

The painting was made by Robert Papp, who has a website here: https://robertpapp.com/. I don't really know anything about the guy.

The lemon things with all of the recipes was really cool, but to be honest I just like grapefruit raw, cut in half and ate with a spoon.

"He's a foreigner! A foreigner!" - A real quote, from a real liberal

 

"Nearly every social event I have attended with [communists] has inevitably had some conversation about linux, furry culture, obscure leftist history, tabletop games, or other equally nerdy subjects"

Xenia, the fox girl mascot of Linux, was first designed in 1996 by Alan Mackey. She was meant to be an alternative to Tux, the official mascot.

She had fallen into obscurity, but was noticed by a Twitter user in 2019 and was redrawn as a fox girl. But as it turned out, Xenia was originally meant to be male! The original creator, Alan, was cool with this, saying "It matches the transition of a lot of the smartest, nerdiest Linux users I know" and "And sure, you made her trans!".

So now we have a trans Linux mascot. And I think that's neat.
