(Copypasted from a previous 4chin /g/ thread as a foundation to making these generals on leftypol)tttt vs ballroom
Thoughts on this discourse currently raging on xitter? Personally I don't really like either, but I don't understand how rejecting ballroom / drag terms is racist. It feels very american to say that when in my country drag is mostly a gay male thing and the closest thing to ballroom is only white people.
STEMtards
Stemlords are actually picrel. Its no surprise stemlords are complete retards. Im doing a masters in STEM and can't believe how intellectually barren math and this field is. There is no critical thinking involved, just memorizing some garbage symbols and their rules. Solving some dumb problems with some dumb patterns and repeat.Western Animation
A general for "western" animations/cartoons.Need help
Hey /pol/. It’s come to my attention that a known Zionist music producer is coming to my town of Montreal this summer. The Alchemist is a known Zio who has produced songs for “Israeli” artists and even made an instrumental album a few years ago entitled “Israeli Salad” ;after a stolen traditional Palestinian dish). Him being invited as part of Montreal’s Jazzfest is a BLATANT violation of BDS. It is an insult to all the Palestinian musicians who lost everything in the genocide. I need help organizing something against this guy when he comes. I’m thinking a protest outside the venue but I don’t know how many people will show up. Any suggestions?Nostalgia cartoons that hold up
I was watching a cartoon from my child and realized that the saturday morning cartoon generation lucked out. Other than some outliers like avatar or adventuretime, the good stuff was 90s-early naughty aughties. This is not just nostalgia but demonstrably true as merch from these cartoons is still popular as ever for kids. I work as a substitute teacher and they still watch our old cartoons and it's actually super weird, I didn't watch captain kangaroo or whatever boomer crap my mom watched when i was a kid.Has anyone here ever played the British anti-extremism game?
I have and I sucks. If you didn't know the British government in response to all of the white nationalism growing in their country mad a computer game to encourage kids not to be Nazis, ill link it here https://www.shoutoutuk.org/pathways/ but the thing is that it backfired and Chuds started making rule 34 of the female antagonist, since it became a meme I wanted to play the game to see if it is any good and its not. Since its a liberal game instead of being able to confront your Nazi friends and make new leftist friends if they part ways with you you just fucking loose all of your friends! I don't know what I expected, this is the UK after all and its been amerikkka's cuck for decades.how do I radicalize my Union Local
Morning, Leftypol.
Post left-wing redneck music.
Rednecks used to be based, I used to call hogs Rednecks before I learned of the origin of the term “Redneck.” During the Battle of Blair Mountain which was the biggest labor uprising in American history the striking West Virginian coal miners wore red paisley patterned bandannas around their necks so the cops and national guard members called them “Rednecks.” So we must Make Rednecks Based Again by posting their music from before they became chuds.Buddhism doesn't get enough flack
Buddhism is fucking predatory as shit, only saved by the fact that its buzzwords are parroted around. Seems like it was rightfully criticized since early Hinduism until the 1900s where it got syncretized because of opportunism. Really don't believe it's compatible with socialism, especially with it's buzzwords like "mindfullness" and "manifestation" becoming commonplace./PROLE VENT/
Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.Permaculture v2

I convinced a quite a big amount of Muslim friends and even Elder Muslim folks in my community that Capitalism is Haram with one simple argument: Usury is a sin under the the rule of "Riba" being Haram, literally meaning "infinite" or "excess" in Arabic, due to financial exploitation and taking advantage of the person.

/leftypol/ has been nuked Edition (Remade the thread because of it)Are we in the worst possible world?
I've been thinking about this for a bit. Our universe might be the most depressing setting physically imaginable, there's no magic (or at least no widely available not heavily frowned upon magic), no other intelligent species, we only live for 120 years at most but most of us die at 80 or so, our country is ran by pedophile elites and no one even cares, we don't even know how our world is made and we kill eachother over it, your value as a person is decided by how much paper you have, our lives suck so much we make up other realities and look at screens all day to cope with just how perfectly catered our framework for modern day life is to being the most unfufilling menial tedious painful task possible. I don't want to be a misanthropist, I don't want to be negative, I don't want to be a nihilist, I want to see the good in life, I want to see the good in people, but it's just not there, there is nothing. My life is an endless string of pain and suffering occasionally broken up by short-lived dopamine highs and indifference. No one shares my interests, beliefs, hobbies, taste in music or humor. No one loves me for who I am. God has either completely abandoned us or wants us to sufferShould /dead/ be on the main page and header?

I seriously cannot understand how monster hunter games are still the only games with a coherent ecology for their over worlds. From a developer standpoint, they shouldn’t be hard to implement—at least on a highly superficial level. Just separate neutral mobs from hostile mobs based off a zone so players have a choose between venturing off into places with dangerous territory vs venturing to hunting grounds. Ffs, we already have level bands and levelled areas, how hard is something like this to implement? I’m not even going deep on this like with realistic day/night cycles or mob migration. This is purely the superficial stuff.RISC-V open source HDTV?

Liberal Crime Squad
I wish there was a Communist fork of Liberal Crime Squad, which is a game created by the Dwarf Fortress guy Tarn Adams way back during the Bush Era which has had multiple forks, but none which change the fundamental liberal pretenses. LCS is basically about building a network of clandestine cells to oppose an Arch-reactionary government, but it is fundamentally framed in terms of US liberal politics, which reveals its contradictions and ideological flaws. Tarn Adams also says he intended it as a GTA-style satire rather than something truly critical of the USA but I don't really believe that. I think he is "hiding his power level" which radlibs tend to do, to the extent that they have a power level at all. Someone made an update in 2024 that can be played in a web browser and posted it to the Dwarf Fortress forums, and while in some senses it updates it culturally from the Bush era, it still is fundamentally based on the same ideological pretenses.The only safe way to use a cell phone (open source friendly)
Get a Motorola C123 and flash OsmocomBB on it. This is the only widely working open GSM stack for real phones. Then take a LMS7002M / AD9361, wire it to a board, with ECP5 FPGAs, LiteX SD chips, and so on for a Hybrid-SDR GSM Phone (2G wireless) which is PhD-level work because of timing mismatch and no existing glue layer. You’d basically be writing a GSM PHY from scratch. Let me ground exactly why it jumps to “PhD-level,” because it’s not just complexity—it’s specific hard problems:Favorite subject for catastrophizing?
Hey /dead/Name of a Pre-WW2 German Author
what was the name of that pre-WW2 German author that wrote how stereotypically non "aryan" germans were typically the most fanatical Nazis because they knew that they were on the fringe of being considered racially acceptable. Note how the entire high command of the nazi apparatus were a men who were mostly dark-haired, brown-eyed and somewhat short by german standards and who personally proved the lunacy of the aryan "race" as a concept by their mere existence
