One of the key tasks of any Communist Party is to prove itself a force capable of seeing to the needs of the people, that it is a group from the people and of the people that recognises the problems faced on the ground and can be relied upon to address them more than any liberal organisation.

Ho Chi Minh distributed rice, the Black Panthers ran breakfast programmes & literacy groups, meanwhile every communist group in this country just spends its time going on marches and (not) selling newspapers when if any of them were worth the red dye of their banners they'd be actually trying to help any of the myriad struggles faced by the proletariat today. This is just a brief thought, not a formulated plan, but frankly I think if a Communist group put up flyers offering a free (or at least at-cost) cleaning service to help people with mold issues they'd do infinitely more good than any number of recruitment flyers & protest placards.

Oh, hey, we've (sort of) got something similar here!!!

Well, they're more like alligators, but still.

Gator buns.

It's supposedly just one guy who makes them, but they've definitely spread quite a bit. I see them mostly sold along the coast, for whatever reason.

I think it indicates a very specific sort of chauvinism to engage in open acts of aggression against another nation and immediately follow that with "We got what we wanted and now there can be peace". You'd need to think that your country is so mighty that your victim wouldn't even think of going to war with it, that they'd accept any peace offer no matter how disadvantageous or humiliating. The idea that you can de-escalate a situation through limited violence only makes sense if you think that you're capable of a lot worse and that the target both knows and fears this.

Either that or one thinks of their initial violence as clearly justified, and so makes an offer of de-escalation less because it's likely to be accepted and more so one can take the moral high ground when their victim rightfully retaliates. Either way, the fact Trump and his clique saw it as a good idea to directly attack Iran then immediately announce they wanted peace indicates a pretty distorted view of the US Empire's current degree of material and moral superiority in global geopolitics. It's the sort of action one takes when they are or want to assert themselves as undisputed hegemon; it's a bad idea to act like that when ones hegemony can be successfully disputed. I wonder how much longer until the USA's political leadership collectively realises that they're no longer living in the end of history

If she has an eggshell made of diamond, remember that even the hardest stone in the world can be broken with the right angle. Never give up

If you say shit like this to a questioning trans girl, you're committing transmisogynistic violence. Like what the actual fuck is wrong with you?? You see a girl expressing fear and pain and your response is to tell her to shut up and deal with it??? You're not helping or warning anyone, you want this woman dead.

Stupidest high stakes run ever

Have literally zero idea how I even managed to win, Runner is super fucking broken and all but I only got it halfway through

Spent the first six or so antes relying on little more than straights and planet cards lmfao

Having to win on the last hand and hoping for a straight was the single most nerve wracking feeling I’ve had in a loooooong time

Fun fact: the VERY NEXT round I failed to get a straight on the last hand and promptly lost
