    Yeah they produce insanely well.

    Potatoes for calories / nutrients + beans for protein / nutrients + (I havent tried this yet but) high-producing grain like Amaranth for calories seems the best combo, but you’ll still need community to survive no doubt

    I mean those are just rules that some asshole made up. Make up your own.

    Nothing is illegal in any way that actually matters except harming another person. All other laws are just words. It’s just a question of whether someone is willing to hold you at gunpoint to make you stop what you’re doing or not.

    Which, for downloading pirated copies of old games, is almost certainly a “no”. Especially if you use the most basic opsec but even that probably isn’t necessary. (Don’t use Torrent without a VPN though, ISPs really look out for that, especially shit-ass Spectrum.)




  • …Yeah man I’m American, don’t worry, you’ll never catch me arguing that America isn’t a racist country lol. This place fucking sucks, and that’s one of the big reasons why.

    Like I said I truly do not care about Pewdiepie. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him, I wouldn’t go out of my way to make anything good happen for him, he’s just irrelevant to me and that’s fine for both of us I imagine.

    Though I will say that if you elect to “not give a damn” about other people being exposed to racial slurs which make them feel dehumanized though, you’re an asshole and a privileged one at that. Just because it may not be particularly relevant in your culture (though, back on 420chan [I’m old], I remember Swedish people whining nonstop about the Somali immigrants in their country, so I’m not sure I’m entirely convinced that it isn’t a Swedish issue too) doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about how it can hurt other people. Especially when said by someone with a global audience, especially when that global audience is largely children or teenagers.

    But also, to reiterate my reiteration: I do not care about Pewdiepie and am not suggesting he be exiled from humanity, only that he probably shouldn’t do that again. Which it sounds like he hasn’t, so… good?

    I got arrested for possessing a dust-amount of cannabis when I was 13

    then I had to work through the pandemic as a cannabis dispensary manager because we were “essential medical personnel”

    with no medical benefits. Earning less money than I would’ve if I had been able to go on unemployment.

    It’s a shit country. The social contract does not exist anymore. Thinly-veiled threats of violence are the only thing still keeping the population in line, including the threat of homelessness which is also a form of violence.

    Once, when I was on acid, I asked myself - how would I define America? The answer I settled on is, “America is everyone who is stuck here” (or forced by economic or otherwise imperially-orchestrated hardship to come here, even if they would prefer to remain in their home country otherwise). Everyone who lives in America and cannot comfortably escape lives in a prison. You may get the equivalent of a Nordic prison if you’re privileged, but look how many wealthy celebrities live miserable lives - it’s still a prison.

    And so I live by advice I heard from a prisoner. I wish I could remember the source, but I can’t. The advice, as to how to survive in prison, was: “Take everything they give you. Give nothing in return.” It’s important to note that this applies to the government, to corporations, to capitalism, NOT to your fellow prisoners (Americans). The only way we get through this is each other.
