Protestation
  • The hypocrisy of this post or the rude replies that I’ve got from your „comrades“ is what must bother you really, not the way I reacted to this pic. I am not an anti-communist, it’s just that I don’t like when people of one ideology make a refference to the bad things that another ideology did, while their own people did things that were just as bad. The soviets are exactly the same to me as the nazis. And if some of those people replying would be smart enough to do so adequately, they would later find out that I have always lived in a post-soviet country, and I know pretty well the whole story behind the way it got into USSR, and how it got there, and what the communists did, for example, with more than 40000 people in one night from 6th of July to 7th of July 1949, in Bessarabia.

  • Yes, I do. I also think that they largely contributed to the beggining of the WWII, hence it’s name that’s pretty self-explanatory. The thing is that, in academic history, any war starts with an event. That event is the invasion of Poland on the 1st of September, 1939. I hope you see where I’m going... We could trace back the causes of this war years, maybe even decades before it began, but that’s simply not correct (when talking about what pact/document led to it’s beggining).

  • Have you read the secret protocol that was attached to it? How can dividing the Eastern Europe into „spheres of interest“ and occupying the territories of foreign states (the pact was signed a month before WWII started by both nazi Germany and USSR that invaded Poland, after that the Baltic countries, Romania and maybe a country or two more that I cannot remember) a „self-preserving, non-aggression treaty between a rising fascist empire hell-bent on destroying workers movements like communism as all fascists are and a young workers movement“? Pardon me, but your statement is full of shit. Just like USSR, that’s why it was „besieged since it’s inception“.

  • AI cannot and should not be isolated from art, whether you like it or not.

    It can be and will always be used as a subject of art, at the very least and unconditionally... The best thing we can do as a collective is try to isolate it in order to make it „learn itself“. Or make it non nonexistent, which will be pretty hard.

    Lemmy, how bad for an individual can consuming cannabis be?
  • Anything that can be produced from cannabis of any strain, not laced and not something that’s glycol-based or a dry-plant vaporizer; and consumed via inhalation of it’s smoke or digestion (ex: edibles). Thank you for the remark.

  • How do I quit smoking?

    any piece of advice is welcome

    P.S. Thanks to all the people that have taken their time to help me (and not just me, but others as well). It is much appreciated, and, from what I‘ve read, the „cold turkey“ method seems the most appealing to me. I‘ll quit smoking today, on the 7th of November 2024.

    in need of any advice related to my career path

    I am 20 years old and studying to become a sculptor. The problem is that... Eh... I‘m not really into it. Not that I dislike it, it‘s just that I don‘t really care that much about sculpting. And the issue is that I kind of know what I want to do with myself, but I am also too afraid to do it. I‘ll try to explain. Ever since I was little, I was an artsy person: I drew a lot, and got actually really good at it (I mean it, "academic art" type of good), finished one art school, then another and then got into the university that I am currently in. The thing is that studying here for more than a year got me thinking if I really want to pursue this career: I feel like wasting time, I live abroad and am sometimes homesick (my granny now lives alone), my dad keeps on telling me that he has no hopes for me (props to him for helping me financially tho), I started popping pills from time to time etc.. Meanwhile, this summer two of my closest friends got me into fashion design (one of them is currently studying to become a fashion designer): we did some clothes together, I sketched a bit for both of them/with them and actually enjoyed it a lot. And they‘re some actually talented guys; they know their way around a bit and are inspired by trap and punk culture. It just feels different. And I do realize that it might be a passion of mine only for a few months or so, but still... I also care about the way I look a lot more now than I did a few years back. I do not care about sculpting nearly as much. The question is: should I leave sculpting and try to get into fashion design; or should I finish studying here for another two years and see what‘s next?

    P.S. My dad will, most likely, get mad at me for leaving sculpting. On the other hand, I might stay in the same university and study for a fashion designer or come home and do the same thing. Hmm... I‘m not sure.
