Every good that is produced has to be immediately consumed. There is no way to stockpile goods. I believe this is the primary issue that mostly causes the other problems. If you consume more goods than you produce, the price of the good goes up. On the contrary if you produce more than you consume, the price goes down. That's it. If for example you produce 100 fabric in cotton plantations and then consume 180 to make clothes in a factory, the only drawback is reduced profits due to high fabric price. 80 units of fabric missing won't harm the production of clothes in the factory whatsoever. Railways chug engines (apparently the trains have to be replaced with new ones every week). (note: IG = interest group) The personal ideology of IG leaders dictate what laws the entire IG supports. If for example a reactionary ass IG gets a progressive leader then the whole IG suddenly becomes progressive. The Armed forces IG gets its political strength from wealth and votes just like anyone else, even though they should probably have more due to controlling the unliving machines. --- Thanks for reading my ramble. Does anyone else get annoyed by these type of things?

Nova 9.0 (Cuban Linux distro) is out! I uploaded them to Pixeldrain for your convenience.

I'm really curious to see it in action so I downloaded it. There are two versions, Nova Escritorio (Nova Desktop) and Nova Ligero (Nova Lite/Lightweight). Curiously Nova Ligero seems to be only 200MB smaller than Nova Escritorio. (1.9GB vs 1.7GB) Here's some download links in Pixeldrain, for faster download speeds and in case the original servers are down when you want to download. --- ::: spoiler Nova Escritorio 9.0 https://pixeldrain.com/u/jf1TivHd ::: --- ::: spoiler Nova Ligero 9.0 https://pixeldrain.com/u/7SipXJ2b :::

This is how responsibilities make me feel most of the time. I know I should stop neglecting my responsibilities but it's just so hard for some reason... I wonder if other people have a similar problem.

I'm going to study social integration

I like helping people, and I think that due to my circumstances I would be able to understand more and be more empathetic towards the people I help once I (hopefully) complete my studies. I hope working as a social integrator will make me feel fulfilled. Wish me luck.

On a r/thedeprogram post joking about some war criminal being fat

Someone correctly pointing out that calling people fat is bad is downvoted, and someone called "literally_himmler1" replying with a nerd emoji is upvoted. I am going to commit sudoku.

Do you think that organizing support for unhoused people would be a good proposal to make to the party I'm in?

I'm in the PCPE, and they seem to focus a lot on educating and radicalizing people. That is important of course, but I thought that organizing material support for people that needs it would not only actually improve the lives of people but also show the general population that "the commies" aren't some bloodthirsty monsters but instead actual people that want a better world. What do you think? I think it's a good idea.

Been trying Void Linux

I'm liking it a lot, it's very barebones which is something I was looking for, and the package manager's command to install stuff is kinda hard to remember but does its job well. This might be my new daily driver now. Only issue is that since it's not as popular as other distros finding information specific to Void Linux might be inconvenient. Did any of you look into Void Linux? Do you like it?

Are kids even treated like humans?

So I've been thinking for a while about this subject, and I finally decided to make a post about this some time after I saw a YouTuber say what I put on the title of this post. Thing is, I've noticed that very often young people and especially kids are treated as lesser beings, like if they were not humans beings with problems and lives of their own but just an annoyance that people have to keep up with. I remember when I was a kid and I wanted to cross a zebra crossing cars would just pass by without stopping more often than not. Now that I'm an adult they stop pretty much every time. I suspect it was because they didn't want to stop for someone they consider to be lesser than them. Also, a lot of people seem to think that being a kid means that you just play videogames or whatever all day, but don't these people remember when they were kids? I sure do. Going to school has been the worst thing I've ever had to endure. The only difference with having a job is that you don't get paid.

Pigeon Spanish_Commie • 1y ago • 100%

Pigeon chilling on a fountain

A group of people approached the fountain to get water and the pigeon did not seem scared at all. I think I remember them closing their eyes for long periods of time, I assume as a sign of relaxation caused by the relatively cool water during the heat wave in Spain. I wish this pigeon luck and happiness.

In case anyone doesn't know, it's basically a survival game with realistic mechanics. It takes a lot of inspiration from Minecraft and more specifically the TerraFirma mod. I was wondering if anyone else plays it, or at least know the game exists. It has some rough edges sometimes but it is very fun.

Just told my mother that I'm a communist, she took it well

I think that hiding my political views hinders my ability to organize, so from now on I will try to stop hiding. I told her through WhatsApp because I'm not good at face to face confrontations. Not sure how the rest of my family will take it. Thanks for reading 😊

Being gender neutral in Spanish

In Spanish everything is gendered, so being gender neutral is not as easy as for example English where you can just use 'they' or 'them'. Sometimes people use the 'e' instead of the o/a (which often mark the gender of words, for example gato/gata, cat in Spanish) but it can't always be used and it just sounds really weird for a lot of people, though that might just be because it is barely used. The other way to be gender neutral that I know is to say both the male and female versions of the word you are trying to make gender neutral, for example "trabajadores y trabajadoras" (workers[M] and workers[F]) but it's also not ideal as you have to say one of the genders first and it is pretty inconvenient to have to do that every time you refer to a group of people that is not guaranteed to be composed of one gender only. Anyway thanks for reading my post and I hope I find out about a better way to be gender neutral in Spanish. At least in Spanish there is never doubt how shit is pronounced, unlike in English. (Fuck English all my homies hate the English language)

I've been trying out Gentoo, but imma hop to another distro

Everything just feels way more complicated than it needs to be. I tried installing Openshot (a video editor) but I couldn't figure out how to fix the error it spits out when I try to emerge it. I will now try out Arch and hope I don't need a master's degree to install packages. Edit: Gentoo isn't the first distro I've tried, I've been daily driving Debian for more than a year and just wanted to try it out since I heard good things about it. And also I didn't really need to use Openshot, I just wanted some video editor and arbitrarily chose to install that one. Also I guess I will just stick with Debian since apparently Arch is also complicated.

My mother wants to kick out a tenant, how to stop her?

So my mother is a landlord, and she wants to kick out a tenant that isn't paying rent. I asked her if she was seriously going to kick someone out to the streets, and she said that the tenant has family and they could seek help from them. My mother threatened the tenant saying that if they don't give back the key, she would go to the civil guard. I need some ideas about what to tell my mother to try to stop her from putting someone on the streets. Any help is appreciated.

Should we make a pinned post in here that explains the basics of Linux?

I think it could be very convenient. I can make the post if you want, just comment here what you think the post should have and I'll try to put something together. Edit: It seems that [@polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml](https://lemmygrad.ml/u/polskilumalo) is already working on one so this won't be necessary lmao

That noodle you see there is Yugoslavia. I had given up when I saw that I was being pushed back on all fronts and I lost most of my factories... But when my borders went ^w^ I just... held. And then time passed. My allies were supplying me with much needed weapons the whole time and later they ended up liberating my land. The power of friendship, comrades.

What should we do with what currently is my de facto house?

At first I was thinking of making it into public housing, but that became unnecessary before I could finish the building. I currently use it as my place, but it feels unfair to pretty much have a mansion while everyone else have smaller houses. I have finished two floors, I would post a pic but images don't seem to work on the grad currently. Any ideas?
