You can end sentences with "lan" as an exclamation mark and instantly make it (more) aggressive! Works especially well on questions. But makes non-questions extra spicy.
E.g. ranked least aggressive to most:
"I don't know" < "How should I know?" < "How should I know lan?" < "I don't know lan!"
Other examples:
- Stop getting on my nerves lan!
- What's this lan?
- What are you doing lan?
- Fuck lan!
Or start of the sentence can work too e.g. both of these differ only in where the emphasis is:
- Lan, why is the trash still here, didn't I just tell you to take it out? (You're more enraged about the trash still being there than the other person not listening)
- Why is the trash still here, didn't I just tell you to take it out lan? (You're more enraged about them not listening than the trash)

I am way too stressed out to join an org and wouldn't even know where to start looking. Going to church has become too stressful even and that's just turning up, playing with the kid a bit, chatting and leaving

It made me so much more aware of others around me, non-humans and humans alike. But I'm not gonna lie overall it's had an adverse affect on me. It's more stress mentally speaking, my worries about how to raise my kid got octupled, it opened up space between me and my wife and I feel more alienated from those around me.

Haha welcome to modern kindergarden/daycare and the commodification of child rearing.
The only choice if you want your child to start socializing is which place. We visited the kindergarden based on recommendation, met the principal and toured the building. That's how we made our decision.
My wife met the teachers on the day he started, initially she went with him inside for a couple days but later left him there for a few minutes, then hours and then just brought him there and left.
He did not enjoy that! "Yes my child I know mom and dad were your lifeline in this world that you wouldn't survive otherwise for your entire life but now this stranger we met a week ago is responsible for that, she seems fun no?"
And these people will be responsible for a huge part of his education. They don't know about veganism, best compromise was vegetarian (yes fish counts as meat!) and hopefully they aren't to into cutesy copaganda.

Nono I mean a full-on third, fourth etc. parent. Someone who takes care of the child basically from birth, who is as trusted as "mom" or "dad". Maybe even a second person responsible for breastfeeding the child.

Oh also she is completely stunned. Limp, while he is forcing himself on her. Textbook SA.
Not to say it wouldnt have been SA if she had reciprocated, but it's just so much more obvious.

Actually you know what this comic got me really mad, from the "guilty puppy" look, to the "i just had too much to drink" this is classic SA apologia.

Lights turn green, I step on the road, I have no words for this other than spidey sense tingles, I step back, car shoots past me.
I believe god was with me that day because I did not see or hear the car approaching it was that fast.

That's not cute. The second panel is quite clearly not an invitation. And the kiss is quite clearly not expected. And he clearly knows it was wrong of him to do so. This man does not respect boundaries.

I don't know how much solace this is but genocide already has been an integral part of us-european societies for centuries. The only new thing is that the cracks in the foundation are becoming bigger and more visible. And I don't know how the beast is going to lash out on it's death bed.

Walked by a lot of pastures and some of them had horses. Even saw three horses being led by someone right by us. Kid was excited, I'm sad. That's the post. Wish my wife could commit to being vegan... We both don't know how to approach it with our kid though.
👍 or 👎? I'm surprised that it took me this long to stumble on this book, by chance, and that it's not mentioned anywhere when looking for introductory reading. Everyone seems to compile their own reading list on introducing people to ML, but no one mentions that the CPSU went to great lengths to create their own "definitive" introduction. Which kinda begs the question why is it not mentioned (seemingly) anywhere?
I'm trying to typeset "State and Revolution" in german and a lot of sources use a kind of double emphasis. E.g. [marxists.org](https://www.marxists.org/deutsch/archiv/lenin/1917/staatrev/kapitel1.htm) has *cursive* and ***bold and cursive***. These seem to largely match up with the [german translation from 1972](https://archive.org/details/leninwerke_201705/Lenin%20Werke/LW25/page/n409/mode/2up?view=theater) where there is *cursive* and *c u r s i v e w i t h l a r g e k e r n i n g*. This makes the text very weird to read and there doesn't seem to be a proper rhyme or reason to when super-emphasis is used. ~~If I compare this with the [original](https://archive.org/details/derzhavairevoliu00leni/page/n7/mode/2up?ref=ol&view=theater) I cannot make out any such emphasis, there seems to be l a r g e k e r n i n g on some words, that might match up but a) there doesn't seem to be two types of emphasis b) large kerning can often be an artifact of stretching the line to fit the block c) I don't know russian and can barely read cyrillic so maybe I'm I'm imagining things.~~ Not an original, if one has a link to one I would appreciate it. Or [1,500€](https://www.zvab.com/erstausgabe/Gosudarstvo-revolutsiya-State-Revolution-Lenin-Vladimir/31089397865/bd), either will do... Basically I would like to do away with the strong emphasis and just use one type of emphasis, cursive of course, like Knuth intended when he blessed us with T~E~X, but would like someone to confirm whether there is a proper reason for this or if it's present in the original before I do. Posting in /c/theory because it's about books or something I don't know, I'll let the mods sort it out. Couldn't find any such emphasis in any other translation, even an old 1926 doesn't have it so it's gone from "my" edition. Fairly sure it's a weird choice the typesetter made that got copied and then spread. Goes to show how little technicalities like proper spacing between letters can make a great difference in how a text is interpreted and why proper typesetting is crucial.
sitting here like  suppressing the urge to help when I see him mess up in a way that he will only realise in 5 steps and then reverse them one by one. Very proud of his tenacity though.

Is there like an IRC room or forum for help with nonlibre guix? More specifically I installed guix on my laptop and it can't detect my bluetooth device or sound card. Probably some other stuff too, but I don't know how to troubleshoot, what to google much less where to begin a solution. But I can't ask in the official chat because I installed nonguix, and I think the drivers aren't libre or at least it's related to the nonlibre linux kernel I installed.

We have this music box for our 1yo and there are a lot kid songs in different pop music styles and she loved "the one with the trumpets". I never really was into ska so I'm asking the collective for the best ska songs they know so I can surprise her with a playlist.
The last weeks have been really stressful and my exam prep suffered greatly, the last two days I was catatonic with anxiety, I was going through the options of whether it's better to pass with a bad grade or to throw and get more prep time (and more stress) for another attempt. Well the questions were absolute softballs, compared to what I was preparing. My anxiety kept tripping me up so the prof had to give me hints otherwise I would have scored even higher! So even through all the sicknesses, the current high levels of stress and sickening anxiety and 4 hours of sleep I got freaking 85%! Also in large parts thanks to my wife who basically carried me through this period.
This kid is reaching levels of cuteness that might give me a heart attack. He cant purse his lips so he puts his hand over his mouth and then extends it forward while making a smacking sound and then delights in all the adults around him losing any sense of propriety or dignity aahing and oohing and trying to get him to send them kisses as well lol Then he shits himself. I love him so much.
We want to paint a rainbow on a white wall, but dont know what color codes to get. How am I supposed to convert light frequencies into RAL color codes this shit blows. Maths was never meant to be applied to the real world.
I've been going through [Crit's absolute beginner reading list](https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Category:Crit%27s_absolute_beginner_reading_list) and I keep putting down "Elementary principles of philosophy" and skipping ahead to the other books because I just fail to see the value in a deep dive to philosophy in order to learn about history and economy and so on. I would like to skip it completely but don't want to miss important fundamentals. It's such a hard read for me because it keeps rubbing me the wrong way with stuff like > Then there are the scholars, unknowingly materialistic and inconsequential. They are materialists in the laboratory, then, when they come out of their work, they are idealists, believers, religious. > In fact, [the shameful materialists] did not know or did not want to put their ideas in order. They are in perpetual contradiction with themselves. They separate their work, necessarily materialistic, from their philosophical conceptions. They are "scientists", and yet, if they do not expressly deny the existence of matter, they think, which is unscientific, that it is useless to know the real nature of things. They are "scientists" and yet they believe without any proof in impossible things. (See the case of Pasteur, Branly and others who were believers, whereas the scientist, if he is consistent, must abandon his religious belief). so I cant be a christian and marxist? Even worse I'm also a mathematician, I formulate ideas and theories and proofs with absolutely zero regard for any material reality. None. I will take an infinite number of unprovable, non-material statements as true, and to top it all off, unable to show that my axiomatic set theory is at least internally consistent, just believe it to be free of contradiction. Thus if someone proves how some seemingly obvious statement leads to a contradiction in my system I will thank them for proving that the statement must be false. In fact the proof of such nonsensical statements is often the highlight of a math course (I mean [this kind of shit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Tarski_paradox) is awesome). [The poor physicists then have to deal with the fallout of our complete disregard for material reality.](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.08467.pdf) But they're the scientist so what do I (speaking as an idealist mathematician) care, they're the materialists. As a christian I at least double check if what I believe in contradicts scientific statements and amend my belief system, not deny the scientific statement (oh the earth *wasn't* created in 6 days? Guess I will have to revise what I assumed to be true). But why should the scientist care if I believe in a reality outside of the material one, they won't be able to study it anyway. Now if I want to understand history or economy or anything else within material reality, I obviously have to use my senses or rely on the senses of others and study the state of the matter at some point in time that would have existed even if I didn't. Then formulate thought based on those observations. But why is it so important to literally always do that? And what am I supposed to be getting out of this whole mess in order to better understand marxist/leninist/anarchist/whatever else theory????

This is from the leading public-service news program. They are considered to be very objective and reporting without bias by large groups in Germany. **The former US Secretary of State has died at the age of 100. The german-born nobel peace prize winner had a decisive impact on US foreign policy in the 1970s under then President Nixon and Ford.** The former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is dead. The controversial Nobel peace prize winner and diplomat died on Wednesday at the age of 100 in his home in Connecticut, said the consultancy firm he founded, Kissinger Associates. As a security advisor and foreign minister to US Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford the republican significantly shaped US foreign policy. His efforts led to a opening of diplomatic relations with China, to arms regulation negotiations between the USA and the Soviet Union, to an improvement of the relationships between Israel and its arab neighbours and to the Paris Peace Accords with North Vietnam. **Born in Germany** Heinz Alfred Kissinger was born into a Jewish family in Fürth, Franconia, on May 27, 1923; his father worked as a teacher at a local high school. In 1938 he fled Nazi Germany with his family. The Kissingers eventually settled in Manhattan, where Heinz became Henry. After a career in science, the political scientist became national security advisor in the White House and later US Secretary of State in 1968 when the Republican Nixon was elected president. **Nobel Peace Prize for contribution to the peace treaty with Vietnam** In the struggle for a peace solution to the Middle Ease conflict, Kissinger was the first to practice so-called “shuttle diplomacy”. He tried to bring the USA and China closer together through secret channels. Kissinger also initiated talks on the Treaty of Paris in January 1973, which enabled the United States to withdraw from the deadly and costly Vietnam War. Two years later, Saigon fell to the communist Viet Cong. Kissinger received the Nobel Peace Prize for the ceasefire agreement with North Vietnam. **Much-criticized pioneer of realpolitik** Kissinger also advocated a course of detente towards the Soviet Union. During the Watergate scandal involving eavesdropping on political opponents under Nixon, Kissinger's influence grew. He was considered an advocate of realpolitik, according to which the means of diplomacy should be used to achieve pragmatic goals and not primarily to advance noble ideals. His advocates credited him with serving American interests with his approach. Critics, however, accused him of pursuing diplomacy based on power politics, which ran counter to democratic values. His support of anti-communist dictatorships, especially in Latin America, also brought him a lot of criticism. **Publicly active until the end** Ford called Kissinger a "super-secretary of state," but also pointed to his sharpness and self-assurance, which critics described as paranoia and egotism. Ford said, "Henry never made a mistake in his mind." Kissinger remained active after his 100th birthday, attending White House meetings, publishing a book on leadership and testifying before a Senate committee about the nuclear threat from North Korea. In July 2023 he made a surprise visit to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
