AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Bit of a raw rant I'm reporting here, over the miniscule company I work at.

Today we had to finish this Virtual Machine with a DNS resolver in it.
Yesterday my direct superior instructed me that this morning I should finish testing the partial domain update procedure, and then test the overall performance in another location that we have
Thing is, this morning I arrive at the office
And before I even had the time to touch the power up button of the PC, the boss of all bosses comes in and tells me to come into his office so we can test the domain upgrade script
Yesterday it took like 6 people to not make the VM explode during load testing.
We were load testing the whole machine by running the entire script, from head to bottom
Today my boss tries to repeat that, except that as soon as he sees the number of solved DNS queries drop even by the tiniest bit, he immediatly stops the load testing tool
So basically the loss rate is 96% instead of 99% as he wants, because in that particular section that lasts 2 seconds at most the machine slows down
So he sends me to fix that
I spent the whole morning trying to get that fucker to work with a 99% rate
And when afternoon comes he arrives in my office complaining that I didn't update him (about results I didn't get)
Meanwhile the best I managed to get that fucker at is 97.5%
So now it also arrives my direct superior who tells me that I didn't test the VM in the new location
AND ON TOP OF IT ALL
A DUDE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMES IN AND ASKS IF I HAVE AN HOUR

Beauty

How can socialists bring beauty back into the arts, especially in music?

Beauty has transcendent qualities which are as important for socialists as they are for Christians and the peoples of old. When you are surrounded by nothing but ugly, you start to see the world as nothing but ugly, and begin to lose faith in your fellow working man. Beauty thus builds a sense of solidarity between workers as much as it builds a connection between the spiritual and the material. "Beauty is truth."

Our music today is disgusting. Most of it is chaotic, distorted and off-kilter. Music sampling, which makes up the backbone of hip hop and electronic music, has turned producers into god-men and has completely destroyed the collectivist element of music creation. The Soviet Union, meanwhile, had public orchestras play for the people out in the open free of charge. China bans hip hop and teachers its youth classical music as any socialist nation should.

Beauty is crucial to socialism and we must use socialism to bring it back.

Watched Evangelion with my mum

I just finished watching Evangelion with my mum and dad (well my dad sat in the room with us but refused to even look at the telly and instead scrolled football forums instead on his laptop). I basically told about every production quirk and lore detail all the time it was really fun. She liked it but didn't think it was that deep, and she said it repeated itself too much towards the end and she liked the beginning more (a very interesting opinion imo). She hated the last two TV episodes and also didn't seem to care about Kaworu that much.

She liked the elevator scene a lot, that was the standout part for her. I think the character she was the most invested in was Asuka (maybe because I am a bit like Asuka). Lastly she liked End of Evangelion but didn't love it that much, she thought it was just repeating what the show said and didn't think it was the most artistic film ever or anything. She liked the mech battle the most.

I think my mum likes fight scenes more than wierd abstract character moments and she doesn't really understand the intricate parts of animation. This is all very interesting to me tbh as someone super into anime since it shows what a normal person thinks of it.

Mangaka that are touted as leftists

Why do people constantly call the saga of Tanya Mangaka a communist? just stumbled upon the guy's feed and it's full of boomer takes, SDF shilling(this is the complete antithesis of the JCP), and anti-communist retweets.

On top of that, Riyoko Ikeda(The Rose of Versailles) who was a member of the Japanese communist party in her youth is now doing interviews with LDP and butt buddies with a senior member. The Riyoko one is far more shocking than the nazi anime girl

I can’t bring myself to start hrt

There’s so many things that seemingly make it impossible for me to start hrt.

I have an extreme phobia of needles. It’s genuinely ruining my life. I know that there’s other forms of hrt that aren’t injections, but either way I would still need to use a needle on myself to do blood tests.

And then there’s the effects hrt has on the genitals. I would love every effect of hrt if it wasn’t for the effects it has on genitalia. I know using it will prevent atrophy, but it still won’t prevent my balls from shriveling up and the dck from shrinking. I don’t have bottom dysphoria and my genitals are one of the few parts of my body that I don’t actively hate.

And lastly, I’m afraid I’ll miss out on the experiwnce of being a gay guy. I’ve never been in a relationship as a man, but mlm relationships seem to be much more loving and deeper than straight relationships are. I’m scared I’ll never experience true love with a straight man if I transitioned to being a woman. (Especially since many men who want to date trans women are just chasers)

All of this shit just piles up to make me feel too much fear and anxiety to start hrt. I don’t know what to do

Having trouble relating to other trans people.

Why can’t I relate to other trans people? I just can’t relate to the level of comfort and pride and self-love many of them have. It genuinely seems like so many of them don’t have the part of the brain that makes them cringe. They’re just so unfiltered and unapologetic, I just can’t relate at all, I constantly feel like a gross disgusting excuse for a woman and feel scared interacting with the world as one. I don’t know why I cling so strongly onto this meekness, maybe it’s misogyny, I just associate being boisterous and loud with being masculine. I can’t relate to how willing they are to make cringy niche trans memes to their cis friends. I just am so anxious to discuss transness in any open forum where I know cis people might see it. I admit I still have this kind of backwards view that being trans is something shameful and it would be better to stealth if possible. Idk what to do, I want this level of comraderie other trans people have but being in trans spaces, especially trans women spaces just makes me cringe, it either feels like it’s full of very bro-ish sorts of trans women who are unapologetically masculine, or trans women who feel sort of overly preformatively feminine. I genuinely just can’t relate to most of trans culture right now.

"Em 11 de setembro de 2025, a Primeira Turma do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) condenou o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, por quatro votos a um, a 27 anos e 3 meses de prisão, com início em regime fechado. O tribunal considerou Bolsonaro culpado pelos crimes de tentativa de golpe de Estado e conspiração para assassinato. A corte concluiu que, após sua derrota nas eleições de 2022, Bolsonaro articulou um complô que incluía um plano para assassinar o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva e outros líderes, com o objetivo de se manter no poder"

Travel is Kinda Bullshit

We have no history of travel.So many people out there say they love traveling and will happily tell you about all the places they been to and sights they’ve seen and where they want to go to next. It’s also one of the first things people say they would do if they had more time and money.

But traveling sucks. It’s expensive and tedious. You have to pack, organise a passport, deal with airports, security and there’s just so much waiting! And that’s if everything goes to plan and to schedule. Things can easily get canceled or postponed. Then you’ve got jet lag to deal with, different currencies, language barriers, etc.

Even if you’re not going overseas/flying it’s not like road tripping is any better. Sitting in a car for hours on end just plain sucks.

And don’t think I’m only hating on the actual transport, being away from home sucks too. Whether you’re staying in a hotel or an Airbnb or camping or whatever, you’re away from home and all your things; you’re own bed, your own room, your pets, all your other bits and pieces that make your home your own.

I really want to like it but the author is just fucking horrible

The setup of the world is original, the lore is interesting as fuck, the uncensored brutality showcases an interesting take on violence that feels genuine to what something like this in real life could occur and the plot is overall entertaining

But fuck the amount of other garbage in this pretty much “makes a perfectly baked caked bathed in the shittiest frosting you could’ve gotten”. Child nudity that only exists to satisfy the authors god awful fetishes, crying and death when it isn’t needed or doesn’t do anything to contribute to any form of character development, major figures like bondrewd, wazukyan and his crew or just reg and his origin in general either gets sidelined completely or just flat out abondoned after less than a single episode and it fucking sucks and makes trying to be entertained or even gain any cool ideas like how ethics are considered when the promise of discovery is near or how people respond and develop tools to new threats or just how nature itself adapts to the geography that surrounds it doesn’t truly feel like it got the attention it deserved in a series that felt like it was made for it

Wonder Woman vs Goku thread

Yeah that’s right, I think this matchup is actually one of the closest fiction has to offer and is far more plausible than the decades long Goku vs superman debates. Superman is a lazily written brawler whose strongest forms (one million and cosmic armour) aren’t even canon to the main plot. Superman has also lost a lot of times in canon to Diana in open combat just off the fact that Diana is far more skilled and experienced in close quarters combat than superman could ever dream to be. This ultimately makes the debate between who would win in this matchup a lot more interesting. A literal demigod trained by gods possessing untold levels of martial prowess and power vs an alien whose trained in martial arts his whole life developing some of the strongest powerups and fighting techniques known to fiction who has also been trained by dieties.

Apologies in advance for how stupid this probably sounds, but just an idle thought:

We all know globalization gives US workers less leverage than ever before, but what if it could be turned around in their favor? What if a bunch of workers in some company in the US decided to form a union and go on strike and they reached out to a competing company in China and made a deal with the Chinese executives where the Chinese company will send the strikers money via Bitcoin or something and in exchange the US workers will not show up at their jobs and the Chinese executives can short the US company's stocks and profit from their decreasing stock prices from the strike.

/ditg/ Dead Internet Theory General

Talk about why every single site except reddit and fbi.gov has been complete and utterly abandoned.

>Interesting things going on

Browsers are all forcing https by default. On the surface this sounds like a good idea but in reality it's part of a larger plan of control.
Website owners are now at the mercy of the cert authorities. Host something they dont like? you cert gets revoked and now your site wont load on 99% of web browsers.
you have been shutdown.

>What is the dead internet theory?

Dead internet is partly caused by a generational problem, zoomers just want to be where they're friends are. it's understandable, we even did the
same back in the 2000s. everyone was on AIM and myspace. The only difference is those platforms actually did allow free speech back then. now the
internet has become more centralized and a handful of big corps run it all. they are in charge of what gets said on their platforms. not you.

>big techs goal

Big tech is fighting a future war. They know the young are the future. It’s about indoctrination. They are building their vision for the future. A dumbed down controlled population.

>What is the purpose of these threads?

To start a community outside of those corporate owned platforms.
To have a place to discuss things without having to self police yourself.
To discuss and share decentralization technologies.

Pansexual

Why do people hate pansexuals? Like, im not bi, but ive met some men i would be happy dateing but most disgust me. Same thing for women. Ive also dated trans folks but i never dated anyone JUST for their gender or gender identity, it seems like meaningless peacokcing behavior to me. I like who i like, regardless of what their identify is or anything else. What i dont understand is the hate toward the term, apart from the normal hate you get from being openly queer. Im a closeted pan sexual and i only really talk about this stuff with my partners, who also are almost always pan.

Call me woke, but I do believe XXXtensioncord’s popularity is what inadvertently lead to the rise in Gen Z conservatism.

X was frequently lambasted for being a wifebeater, misogynist, homophobe, New Age woo believer, social conservative (he spoke out against anti-racist activists), and pretentious asshole. The mainstream media didn’t want to touch him because he was too controversial. Yet, the more he was “cancelled” and despised for all his ills, the more it added to his allure among zoomers. X’s image was that of a deeply disturbed troubled genius whose pain and anger lead him to violence and nihilism. He was cold and cruel but that’s exactly what made him so appealing as a rapper to begin with.

This, I believe, was the gateway drug that turned a lot of zoomers (in particular, zoomer men) into far-right conservatives and fascists. All those zoomers who were listening to X back in 2017-18 while in middle school or high school voted for Trump in last year’s election. They are the same people who listen to Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, and Jordan Peterson. It’s identical to how all the Gen X nonconformists who idolizes Kurt Cobain went on to become a Big Tech innovators or how millennials who spent their teen years listening to emo rock ended up becoming SJWs (since the essence of emo music is trauma and mental illness/neurodivergence). It’s all because X was cancelled time and time again before he was clout martyred, then smeared over and over again after death. Zoomers who loves him saw that and began internalizing X’s persona as well as resentment towards a morally-obsessive cancel culture.

It makes perfect sense once you think about it.

Trans people and communism

On the other hand though what’s the sociological explanation for millions of grown men becoming obsessed with a little girls cartoon in spite of hegemonic Western gender norms?

Treating hetmoids like garbage on your daily life is literally praxis

Let me explain to you which is something I apply on my daily life: hetmoids are literally over 90% hateful violent subhumans who want us gone (either dead or forcefully repressed), treating this particular demographic like vermin is the best thing we can apply to our daily lives. Show kindness and empathy only to women and queers. However these subhumans are violent by their very nature and will always look for excuses to assault you so adopt a passive-aggressive stance against them. Let me give some examples:

Some hetmoid tries to start conversation with you? Go monossilabic with a harsh tone, make them understand how unpleasant and unwelcome their presence is to you until they fuck off, while engaging and being kind with queers and women.
Hetmoid delivery, waiter, cashier? Don't thank it, don't engage with it and NEVER tip
Hetmoid hobo? Ignore it completely and tell it to get a job if it harasses you
ALWAYS look for any excuse to fuck over an hetmoid at school or work, see them doing something wrong? Breaking rules? Don't hesitate for a sec to report them


In short, be harsh, abrasive and apathetic to these rats, don't engage with them, don't speak to them unless strictly necessary, NEVER compliment them for anything, NEVER help them, but don't make it too obvious, understand they're violent creatures and will look for any excuse to assault and try to murder you. Bonus point if you act the completely opposite with women and queer men near them

Show kindness and solidarity only to our own and Women who are mostly allies regardless of orientation.

The Alliance Among Washington, Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley

https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/09/the-alliance-among-washington-tel-aviv-and-silicon-valley.html

<Posted on September 4, 2025 by Curro Jimenez


<Curro here. The main thesis of the following article is that the Military Industrial Complex, which Eisenhower warned about, has expanded to include the governments of the U.S. and Israel, as well as major Silicon Valley tech companies. If Eisenhower could draw a line between the MIC and the government, today that’s no longer possible.


<This new alliance, referred to as the ‘military-digital complex,’ is characterized by the blurred lines between the public and private sectors, with corporations playing a crucial and often unaccountable role in geopolitical affairs and military operations. Out of this, a new power system is emerging.


<The theoretical core of this article is the short fourth subheading. It refers to a talk given by Peter Thiel at Stanford University in 2004 entitled ‘The Straussian Moment,’ in honor of the leading neoconservative thinker.


<In it, Thiel outlined ‘the foundations of the new global power architecture. He based this on the premise that ‘the brute facts of September 11 demand a re-examination of the foundations of modern politics,’ given that ‘Western political philosophy can no longer cope with our world of global violence’.


<The author states that this new global power architecture ‘called for a new compromise, and this new compromise inexorably demanded more security at the expense of less freedom’.


<Not only was Palantir born out of that theory, but the current genocide in Gaza and the conflicts in the Middle East at large—as well as Ukraine—are proof of the existence of the ‘military-digital complex’ bringing together the MIC, the U.S., Israel, and Silicon Valley.”


<I would have liked to write this article, but I could not have done it better than Stefano Ali Azzali, a prolific author and my professor of Roman History while I was at university. The text is thoroughly researched and referenced and although it can be read as an article, if you have time and I encourage you to check the footnotes, because they are a wealth of contextual knowledge and further proof the thesis (that’s why I decided to leave the number references).

Romance & Love thread

Figured I made a thread to share our romantic experiences – or lack of thereof, – opinions, wishes and advice. That is part of the whole LGBT experience besides the sex and gender.

I reached mid 20s with barely any experience, autism made sure of that. Kissed a drunk lesbian once, I don't even think I looked that cute for a guy in his 20s, so I was honored more than anything. Broke up a friendship with a trans girl after some hasty choices, but she was crazy anyways. Now focusing on friends, making and deepening them.

Wish I had a man I understood and was understood by, someone light-hearted and whimsical to have fun with on the short time I have here on Earth. Femboy-ish ig, not masculine, but takes care of himself, with a touch of femininity to him. Impartial on sex, willing to do it, might be fun even.

One thing I like is the idea of relations as temporary, serial monogamy if you will. I'm all for loyalty while in a relation, but that doesn't necessarily mean it must be forever and ever. People change, why shouldn't their relations? Admittedly I do see the romance in a lifelong relation, sticking with someone and changing together with them. Besides looking for a new partner every x amount of years sounds exhausting.

Hey everyone, so I was told it would be for the best to make a new thread and that's what I'll do. I'll upload some updated artwork too and some other stuff that I'm sure you'll like

Old OP:
Sup everyone, for a while I've been working on this comic idea and I would like to share some stuff I've been cooking up for it.

The setting is in Mexico City and the protagonist is a working-class, Nahua girl, living in a working-class neighborhood. This comic will explore issues regarding gentrification, child labor, systemic violence, class struggle, and different kinds of discrimination. Think of it as a social commentary and slice-of-life comic.

Sadly, I'm drawing this on my free time in between work and my studies, so the process is slow, but I'll try to release the first chapter sooner than later.

Here are the character sheets of the three protagonists, I posted them in the previous thread but they are now all complete and updated. Also, a neat drawing I did some time ago as an extra.

Finally, I will try to do the comic both in English and Spanish.

I love this cartoonishly over the top comic.

Servitude and service work

I used to think differently about service jobs for years as I wasn’t one of those “if it isn’t blue collar it isnt a real job” socialist nut heads, but my feelings for that idea has shifted towards it for different reasons.

I dont think a socialist movement is possible of servitude and service work is allowed to continue. It took ages to illegalize slavery and yet there is more of it than ever—mainly through the never ending flood of terrorist and kidnapping groups that make eradicating the problem fucking impossible without eradicating kidnapping.
Service work doesn’t fair much better as it is only barely above servitude and slavery in terms of dignity but falls back to that status if public services are ever bought out and stolen by private actors.
Outside of being undignified, these jobs just flat out and do not have to exist in a socialist society. They’re just bad jobs period and it would be better for everyone if they went away. No one really needs a consultant, housekeeper, motivator, receptionist, gig workers, restaurant service workers, or whatever other petty job that a person—a normal person—can do themselves without guidance.

Michael Jackson

Materialist analysis of Michael Jackson?

When I look into his life, it seems glaringly obvious to me that he was both an obsessive artist driven by all the anxieties he suffered as a child, and a nefarious abuser. The allegations of pedophilia seem more and more evident. But there's a reason for this: Michael Jackson was the most famous pop star who ever lived, and all that money and fame made him believe he was a god-man who was entitled to everything and anything. Assuming the CSA accusations are true, it would be a telltale result of abuse of power.

The characters were good and the cinematography excellent, so overall it was a good film, but god, the plot went absolutely nowhere.

I can't believe they sequel baited with the fucking Telly Tubby Rangers!

Has rap gone woke?

Back in the 90s and Bush years rappers loved conspiracy theories, the Nation of Islam, liberally using "faggot" and "uygha", indulged in virulent misogyny, etc. Even in the early Obama years Killer Mike was rapping:

"Step and fetch funky ass, flunky ass uyghas
Dick in the booty for your Massa' ass uyghas
I don't fear no man
Not Bush not Clinton not Osama"

During the Bush years Immortal Technique had lyrics like this:

"But you know what the fuck I think is just pathetic and gay?
When uyghas speculate what the fuck 'Pac would say
You don't know shit about a dead man's perspective
And talkin' shit'll get your neck bone disconnected
Disrespected
uyghas don't show no love
Why you tryna be hardcore, you fuckin' homo thug?"

He also praised revolutionary suicide bombers in Point of No Return. But in his 2022 Civil War single, he censored himself saying uygha in his parts of the song, but its uncensored in Killer Mike's portion.

Eminem won't even use faggot anymore.

So TBH I think a lot of the labor aristocracy holds pretty detestable views wrt the demoralized and slum proletariat. Also blaming fascism on jobless schizos is just retarded as reactionary as they may be at times. Fascism is a top-down deployment of the armed forces of the bourgeoisie. Reactionary NEETs and incels are beside the point.
