Call it Mecha Israel

We just keep it wrapped?

Usually, it ends up in the hands of the elite.

Otherwise they wouldn’t lobby for it.

Don’t be shy to put up a book donation flyer in the local wallmart or something if allowed.

Lot of people have books rotting away in basements they wanna offload.

So am I kitty, so am I

✨Abolish Property✨

tell the rent extractors to fuck off

Yeah, until they flew over your house. If you think living near an airport is bad these days…. Concorde begs to differ

The comments on that are pretty awful. Bunch of reactionaries using it as an excuse to dish on marginalised groups.

The tool measures distance with vocabulary. Afrikaans may be closer in vocabulary but pronounced very differently (since there’s way less cross talking since it’s so isolated), which would make it harder to understand to a Dutch speaker?

Yes. This is often true. But Flemish and Dutch are far far closer in linguistic distance than dutch and german.

And they are completely mutually intelligeble. Unlike Dutch and German, (which I prefer to call hochdeutsch, since german is a nationalist contruct that erases many other languages spoken by peoples living in Germany-Switzerland-Austria.)

Like here we get a distance between Flemish and Dutch of 5.6, that’s the lowest I’ve ever seen with this tool.

While 13.5 with Dutch and German.

Compare that to French and Occitan, Occitan is a Romance language in southern France, which got erased and often claimed it’s just “part of french”. The distance between them is 20.

Edit: Playing round a bit more with the tool, Your point is proven. The distance between Dutch and Afrikaans is lower. Only 2. Yet that’s considered different languages.

a traditional English term used to describe a political community as having been founded for the common good,

Ah yes, sure the indigenous peoples agree

Suprised no ones attacked you for calling Flemish Dutch ahhaha.

(They lowkey are the same language but many people in Flanders hate it being called dutch ahhaha)

The indigenous people were doinf controlled burns and had this all under control.

But then the colonisers took over and were more woried about protecting short term property value than long term sustainability so we got overzealous fire protection as a ticking time bomb.

I heard Mint and Elementary both mentioned a lot for switchers.

Any reason you recommend mint over it?

Never tried either of them myself so just curious.

Oh totally, wasnt saying they were the same. was just adding an interesting thing to the discussion.

It’s like Catholic Church vs Protestant Church. 😭

Although it’s technically not lice, this is called swimmer’s lice in many languages.

Or you know, abolish capitalism.

Totalitarist capitalism is not my cuppa tea, but suit yourself ;)

Probably lucky he didn’t get disappeared. Actually he lowkey did, but they released him after.

In any case, fuck Billionaires (but also fuck totalitarian governments like the CCP).

That’s kind of you.

There’s not much unfortunately. If you have a couple bucks free you could donate to one of the better labs. Ie. this excellent genetics team. But I realise that isn’t feasible for most people.

Otherwise just maybe reading a short article about how politically marginalised the illness is could be helpful. In having more people “woke” on this issue. This article by Monbiot is short and works quite well.
