communism

Idk about an informal word but I call it butt crease. Probably not the medical term but it's what I call it for medical contexts (as a patient)

I'm not sure about a dedicated website but you can already do that by just having a blog and sharing your blog posts to a link aggregator (like Lemmy or Hacker News). You could possibly create a Lemmy community that only allows "grassroots" "journalism", ie no professional news articles but only amateur/hobbyist blog posts.

Is the furry in the background also for old people?

The implementation is cute. I would like that plushie.

I use the same font everywhere. At two different sizes because it's a bitmap font, but I'd have more variation for a vector font. Looks the same to me 🤷 Maybe it's to do with the shape or size of the container of the text?

Is it illegal to film police where you are? If it's not illegal then just use your camera app. You can probably configure it so that you can open the camera app from the lockscreen without a password, but then of course make sure you can't e.g. access anything from your gallery from the camera app. I have always just used my camera app to film police. There also used to be "secret recording" apps for Android at least, but I believe modern Android security doesn't allow for that kind of app behaviour anymore.

Once in a blue moon? Not habitually though

Depends on context but generally no. I use it myself to either agree with or acknowledge messages if I don't have anything to add. I don't see why you should interpret it as rude if the person you're speaking to, or people in general, have stated they don't intend it to be rude.

A job (assuming it's one I've not already got): they don't want you, move on. It's the same thing as a rejection. You can chase up once but I don't see why bother more than once.

A person you're talking to romantically: check in on them, if they don't respond after messaging a few times over a few days it's deliberate and they're not interested. Move on. It probably wasn't that serious if they ghosted you, or if you're actually in a serious monogamous relationship and they ghost you then I'd either worry they've actually gone missing or something's happened to them, or they are just a massive asshole to not be able to actually break up with you properly.

Keep telling yourself that. Thanks.

Masterfully refuted. Great engagements with all my points. Really convinced me to be a baby making machine.

I also did not make many assertions for you to agree with, I only stated what communists believe for most of it. I expect you to disagree with most things as you are a liberal. I just thought you don't seem to understand what communists actually think so I explained for you.

Communism is not concerned with "left" and "right", bourgeois ideological categories. Communism is the political programme of the revolutionary proletariat, or the real movement to abolish the current state of things, etc. I have no more in common with the liberal politicians who call themselves "left-wing" than I do with a fascist, so it makes no sense to place communism along a linear scale like left/right where it is suggested that communism holds more in common with a political position the further "left" it is. And whether or not communists hold a certain view has no relation to how "left-wing" it is; for instance, in the US, they consider being anti-gun to be a "left" position, but communists are pro-gun.

Communism arises out of an especially politically conscious stratum of the proletariat, and is generated more broadly by capitalism itself, which creates the conditions for its own demise. If communism could only come from already existing communists then there wouldn't be any communists anymore given all the massacres of communists throughout history.

Communists would not agree with you about politics working like a marketplace of ideas where each idea proponent has to convince enough people of their idea to get a foothold. We see politics as class conflict and communists coming from the militant working class. Capitalism creates the material conditions for a communist movement to arise, and communism will continue to spring up again time after time of suppressing, mass incarcerating, massacring, etc communists.

Finally, it is obviously a very reactionary take that anyone should be obliged to have children. There's a reason why it's mostly ethnonationalists who are big on that stuff... Doubly so if you mean actually creating children and not adopting existing children. It is incredibly misogynistic to expect women to give up our bodies for your fantasy of popping out "leftist" babies. Pregnancy permanently changes a person's body, is often disabling, and humans have one of the highest childbirth mortality rates in the animal kingdom not accounting for modern medicine. Not to mention that even if your body popped back to normal after giving birth, it's still fucked up to expect anyone to dedicate 9 months of their life to being essentially disabled and then go through agonising pain at the end of that 9 month period. Even if you only mean adopting children, those children have to come from somewhere, and implicit in that expectation would be the expectation for, primarily women, to have to sacrifice their health to produce children.
