I'll start, I missed the outdoor cats struggle session so i don't know what its deal was except a vague idea that outdoor cats were bad, so I've let my two cats stay being outdoor cats because I feel bad locking them inside, like I want to give them some experience of freedom to go where they please so they can live more fulfilling lives

Edit: also kruschev is imo a lot better than most hexbear users give him credit for

Alright, for a serious question: I have always wondered and never really found a satisfying answer to why something like Cybersyn doesn't currently exist in any socialist states. I'm sure that it's complicated and multifaceted and there's a lot to say about material conditions and internal politics and all that jazz, which is surely a lot of juicy stuff to get people arguing over.

I'm also specifically wondering about the role that 3D printing and CNC might or should have in a more automated Cybersyn-like society. It feels like that technology has the potential of creating a shift towards extremely local production for a lot of things, which I think would be really good for the environment, for building local community, and for strengthening individual freedom.

not being an avid anime fan myself, i would like for people here to have a polite discussion regarding their personal interpretations of goblin slayer and shield hero so that i have a better idea of what the party line is regarding these and similar works.

I have a good struggle session but I’m worried it will tear the site apart.

Maybe not now that we’re all united against the libs in the other instances, but I’m still scared to post it

I think history gave him too much credit actually. The seed of the destruction of the USSR was planted during Khrushchev’s rule. If there hadn’t been a de-Stalinization campaign and if someone had just continued Stalin’s policies, then there was a very strong possibility that the USSR would have surpassed the capitalist West in terms of prosperity and living standards in just a few more decades.
