<3 the people who stay to put away chairs/help pack


Stacking chairs is incredibly satisfying and i wish i had more opportunities to stack chairs for cool events again

if i had a tolerable life i wouldn't be posting at all lol



all the best there... but in my experience this is usually just a minor version of the idea that you'll be motivated to fix everything else about your life once you're in a committed relationship. from the same experience, ups and downs, i just assume i'll keep posting forever and if i'm wrong, what are y'all going to do, track me down and drag me back here to prove me right?? b-because it won't work.. baka....

my pc catastrophically blew up and through a rube goldberg conjuction of various different hardware failures the only functioning access to the internet I have left is a clunky XP laptop that is like 15 years old, it's neat seeing which parts of the modern internet are completely inaccessible to me right now.

it's a cool world not being able to use twitter because everything is broken and each page takes 15 minutes to load, discord isn't compatible with XP and the webapp barely functions, facebook and mainstream news sites are completely impossible. all these places bogged down with 500gb of tracking cruft and ads on every click that I can just blissfully ignore because even if I wanted to look at them I couldn't. at the same time it's striking to me how much of the old internet has been completely consumed and erased, a ghost town outside the walled gardens.

the rhizzone(blessèd by the posting gods) still runs like a dream

im running arch on a sandy bridge thinkpad (x220 specifically) and it really struggles with fb messenger. firefox eats all my ram and i have to close it and reopen it constantly. one night i left it open while i fell asleep and awoke to the same 2-second loop of some dnb song i had left on repeating because the computer had run out of ram and uhhhh kernel panicked lol. that seems weird to me though, that i have to manually monitor my ram usage. i leave top open 24/7 basically lol. back when i was still using a mac my computer might slow to shit cause of browser memory leaks but itd never uh kernel panic over it

i did the troll on facebook and a bunch of idiots who dont understand irony tried to turn it into an awful discourse thing which i hated. some asshole had the balls to say i was doing holocaust denial shit? wtf lol. i told him off and somehow this turned into a 200 comment thread where i wrecked a trot who came in swinging mercilessly til he stopped posting! it all sucked. people who dont understand irony frustrate me badly

anyways stalin killed at least 100 people and possibly more but its very hard to say. what is almost certain is that he killed more people than hitler

if you think about it really, all that would mean is that youd be more powerful than small hitler (literal hitler) and large hitler ("stalin".. whos really just another hitler) so youd be uhhh like mega hitler i guess. the biggest hitler in town

if i say stalin killed at least 100 people, which he deinfitely did and probably more than that even, whats the implication of that statement if you think about it. its absurd, its a joke about how stupid that shit is

Not that it matters but I wasn't aware of anything like a reliable "Stalin Death Count" by which I mean, an actual number of people killed on his orders - like, traitors or whatever, not nazis obviously, i did say People... Would it even be 100? Are we counting people ultimately executed after trials he organised? Because it all starts to get a bit six degrees of kevin bacon. AND thats before you even get into whether all the people convicted in certain trials were actually executed or just received death sentences

ooh.. it used to be in my bookmarks but i got the grey 90s looking stalin death count examination website somewhere. i could probably track it down given the time but id have to look around a bit. thats what i read that convinced me that stalin did indeed kill less than 100 people, potentially 0

#117

in fact, id go so far as to say that stalin was a hero of the working people, the holodomor is a nazi lie and the death count is approximately 0. sorry this post isnt sufficiently ironic!

Stalin only killed one person, but that person was a utility monster so it was the moral equivalent of 100 million people
