I'd say those were made from at least 3 walls worth of wall.

The USSR didn't do much good but those apartment buildings are definitely good. I used to live in a soviet apartment building and the funny thing about that was that every wall was a load bearing wall since all of them could hold up everything. They were thick as hell and fully concrete.

In my parents farm the night sky is perfectly visible. They live far from any town and there are no lights you can't just turn off so sometimes I just look at the sky when I'm visiting.

Plenty of places like this still in my country thankfully.

Very much no. I wouldn't last an hour, let alone 48 and if I did I would be fucked up for life.

Here there's not much to be afraid of so we have contacted politicians to push for our policies and stuff.

What you can do is charity work, that's a great way to meet people and do some good in one go with no risk. That's how the group I'm with got started.

And if you look at it by gdp the US isn't even top 10 and the US, UK and northern Ireland are the only countries with a pact obligating them to help Ukraine.

In that case transactions would take months if not more making it effectively useless.

It would literally break if it replaced all currency. Transaction times would be either measured in months if that happened or bitcoin would consume 10x the current energy production of the entire earth.

This is more true for online spaces. Like the local anarchist group here is really active but the only online presence the members have is one has a blog and I'm semi-active on Lemmy and that's mostly it. Some people do have Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends but I have yet to meet one that's on x formerly known as twitter, reddit etc.

Tankies on the other hand are insane active online but I have yet to encounter one in real life.

I either case though you need popular support before a worthwhile revolution is even possible.

All my friends have pains in places but I guess either I'm lucky or have good genetics. The only issue I have is I will dislocate my shoulder without fail when I try a backhand throw in discgolf but that has always been an issue.

Yea, of course it has, the Budapest Memorandum says they have to help, it's a defensive pact they got in return for giving up nukes. But people are pretending the US is like the instigator and driver of this conflict even though they are literally just one of the countries providing aid to Ukraine.

I haven't encountered Americans getting mad over that but what I have encountered is them thinking everything involves the US, especially lately. For example people claiming the Ukraine - Russia war is a proxy war between the US and Russia instead or that NATO = US. Like chill, your country is not relevant to everything in the world.
