It absolutely makes sense. For us who want to game but also need a computer to do day to day work and meetings. I'm not buying two computers, so what I buy for work is what I have to game with.

As an adult, I pay for winrar purely because it helped me so much for free as a kid (especially pirating other software).

Their policy should just be to reset the password immediately and have the user set a new one. This is one hell of a risk.

Scientist when their AC is set to 70

Communism isn't about exegesis. It's not about who understands the source texts or believes in the correct unadulterated virgin idea. There are many schools of communism and they have all changed with history in some way.

Lmao source please? For the church/zealots-part. Also I don't think you understood the concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the way Marx uses language to get his point across. Maybe you should read more secondary literature?

Lost of syndicalists see themselves as communists. Including myself. I've been on the board, on the administration team and the negotiatiok team for my syndicalist union. All communism isn't leninism.

I (a European jew) usually tk about assimilation and struggling against assimilation. I don't know, maybe anti-assimilationist?

Iirc it's volunteers fighting with Rojava against ISIS

That's actually pretty cool.

Made me wishlist just now

What is it?

I'm just happy to be here. I care less and less about reddit. Using lemmy and mastodon for a while, it's gotten more and more important to me to just build a great, fun, healthy community and less important (emotionally) to bring down the giants. I still care about it politically and theoretically, I just don't feel it as much.

I have the same crime on my record 😎

Picard is a real quote machine. The one closest to my heart is:

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There's no greater challenge than the study of philosophy.

Wesley Crusher : But William James won't be on my Starfleet exams.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained in the mechanics of piloting a starship.

Wesley Crusher : And Starfleet Academy...

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Takes more. Open your mind to the past - art, history, philosophy. And all this may mean something.
