  • Also outdated. Susan Wojcicki resigned 2 years ago and died 8 months ago.

  • Unrelated, but in case you want one more argument to combat the commonplace glorification of Ghibli: https://xenosagaepisodeone.tumblr.com/post/779322203162427392/i-feel-as-if-studio-ghibli-films-being-reduced-to

  • And I thought there was nothing worse than an ifunny watermark.

  • I think it's fine in the way the place is formatted, but the place right now is filled to the brim with low-quality and low-effort content, consisting of random screenshots of youtube comment sections of liberals being liberals, nothing noteworthy that should be deserving of a post.

  • FELIZ JUEVES!

  • They didn't walk tuah to a polling place I think you mean

  • You godless commies should have Pokémon Gone to the polls, now everyone will DIE and it is your fault.

  • Considering the amount of clickbait titles on YT, you should not be trying to turn this instance into an archive of lib video thumbnails to begin with.

  • Because these videos are directed to the audience of a channel with an already established following base, not to someone who wants quick and low hanging fruit to spam a shit liberals say-esque instance with five posts a day.

  • The title is a joke. DPA has been a reliable source for news about the war in Ukraine since the day it begun. Next time please consider checking out if what you are about to post is bait before uploading it.

  • Democrat voters have been insisting since 2016 that Hillary losing to Trump was the doing of Russian hackers and Chinese shills, and not the inevitable result of putting a candidate with the charisma of a shoe against a person with the personality and rhetoric of a used cars salesman.

  • My favourite candidate did not win the elections. Must be the FOREIGNERS.

  • Ants are cool until you get a colony somewhere inside the walls of your kitchen and the bastards keep raiding any piece of food you leave alone for 10 minutes. I will never going to financially recover from all the ant traps I had to buy before I managed to get rid of them completely.

  • No. But not everything you do in life has to be praxis, so you do you.

  • Can someone put me up to date, as a person who hasn't paid attention to Leftypol since 2016?

  • Nazi-maoism

    Lord have mercy.

  • It is not because it looks different. It is because it is le funi.

    Establishing a minimum age to join Lemmygrad

    This post comes as a result of a little talk we had on GenZedong's Matrix servers a couple of days ago and I thought it was a good idea to bring it as a proposal to discuss here.

    There are some strange people in Lemmygrad. I bet you can think of one or two names when I say this. Honestly, I have nothing against it, I don't think anyone should as long as they cause no harm, and quaint characters being attracted to on-line left wing spaces is as much of a natural law as that day follows the night so there's nothing one can do even if they wanted anyway. However, one can tell by some behaviours that the strangeness of some of them come from being young. Too young. And I think it would be nice to limit our list of extravagant individuals to people with a somewhat developed prefrontal cortex, since I think that currently we have none of that.

    As some of you may do too, I belong to the earliest sector of Gen Z. As such, it means that I was part of that experiment of giving unlimited access

    Controlling the creation of minuscule communities and cleaning up abandoned ones.

    Lemmygrad is not a large website. The statistics on the sidebar shows that it has around 10.5k users, with this number being considerably smaller in regards to its active users, with 1.11k users using the website in the last 6 months and half than that in the last month, with 591 users.

    That is perfectly okay: the concept of a small, tight-knit community of active users with shared interests who can recognize each other frequently by name is an appealing one. However I personally think that on a site with a membership so small one should stop to think, before creating a community centered around certain topic, about the chances that exist for such to attract enough users and grow to the point needed to maintain a certain life. I would have imagined that it should be a matter of common sense, but it seems not everyone gets it, and as a result, Lemmygrad ends up full of extremely niche communities that have either no posts nor users except its creators or recieve content solely from the

    What is your gains goblin?

    Gains goblins. Those things in your life that rob you of what otherwise would be your hard-earned gains on strength, muscle size, endurance or whatever other thing you want to develop by training.

    It can be anything: a person (like that gym bro that maybe distracts you more than it's good for you), a medical condition, a commitment, or what is usually most common (and be honest here, because for most people it is one in this category), a bad habit of yours, amongst others.

    Socialist States Iceberg Tier-list

    Just sharing something silly that I decided to put together. Try to see how many of them you can recognize. Optional video essay background music to go along the post.

    Tier 1: The big three. On top of the iceberg due to the enormous impact that they have had in the world's history and popular culture, being known by even the most politically illiterate. It is very likely you have been told more than once to move here by angry people during political discussions.

    Tier 2: Smaller socialist states that stand out more than the rest in their respective regions. Still well known and recognized, but most people have a weaker grasp on them than on the ones listed on the tier above.

    Tier 3: More unlikely to pop up in debates about communism, this likelihood increases drastically if the person you are talking with had a grandmother whose castle, servants and favourite pony were taken away by one of these states.

    Tier 4: This tier ma

    Is anyone here a migrant, or thinking of becoming one?

    Are you someone who has left their country of birth to move and settle somewhere else, or who is thinking of doing so in the future? What led you to take that decision, or what is making you consider it? What have your experiences been until now, and what do you expect and hope for in the future?
