NATO is suspending sharing intelligence with the US lmao the downfall is speeding up
Are they learning that overstretching your military is a bad move (or at least that’s what assume is happening)?
thank you JDPON Don
I wouldn’t count on it
The USA has been on a winning streak
Syria and now Venezuela
Venezuela has not been a win. They kidnapped a man but Chavismo is still strong. All that has happened is that the empire has further unmasked itself.
tru
Venezuela was an expensive PR mission that did nothing to actually threaten the Bolivarian revolution. Maduro wasn’t even in hiding and the government assuredly had plans in case the US pulled some BS like this. If anything, the state will be even more attentive to squashing possible US proxies and collaborators
The US is also literally incapable of occupying Venezuelan territory.
And they lost in Afghnistan not too long ago…
Stay safe, everyone. Keep up your studies and habits, take care of yourselves.
As always, communism will win.
I just deleted my Twitter account.

You too Oppo

You too comrade!
Have a nice week comrade! o7
Have a great week, comrade!
Different ways to say popcorn in Latam!
Muy complicado
I like Guatemala’s best. Poporopo is just fun to say.
Rest of Latin America: “Let’s just use one word.”
Colombia: “Fuck you here’s four.”
Actually it’s two
two terms, three words
Does the rest of Latin America put hot sauce and lime on their popcorn or is that just a Mexican thing? I ask bc it came to my attention recently that not everyone does this…
That’s predominantly a Mexican thing and the hot sauce that we usually use is Valentina.
Do you use El Yucateco a lot in Mexico? I have a bottle of it in the fridge, which I use sometimes.
Personally, I don’t. If I need a spicy sauce, we usually do it from 0 with a molcajete. Like this:
i bought one of these a month ago and it’s totally changed the game
Saludos compa. Yeah I put that stuff on everything, even soup. The maruchan noodles that come with lime and chile flavor just don’t taste the same as adding them yourself.
Hot sauce and spicy spices are predominantly a Mexican thing in regard to Latin America….
Y’all are missing out on chamoy.
Oh I’m definitely not missing out seeing as my work’s taken me throughout Mexico and the American Southwest. TexMex and Mexican food are easily in the top three best cuisines throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.
I do pity those who will never know the glorious chamoy though.
da little korean penguin? pororo?
Elementary school backpack from the DPRK

WAAAUUUHHHHH OH MY GOD ITS SO CUTE (louder and sobbing)
theyre so cute :(
I noticed a blind spot in my thinking today. I have a tendency to go along with the mindset of “good and bad drivers” and “there are bad drivers everywhere”, probably because that’s the point of view I’ve encountered my whole life, is putting blame on drivers themselves as individuals. But what of the systemic influence? The conditions of roads and the difficulties of driving competently for extended periods? In all the places I’ve been in or heard about in the US, roads are consistently inconsistent in design. There are repeat patterns, sure, but it’s evident they were not thought through well into the future, especially for the number of cars on them. Nor for various businesses shoving their way in as something people may need to turn to get into.
So although I’m sure there’s varying levels of skill at driving a car, that doesn’t necessarily even correlate to any given boneheaded decision on the road. People are expected to make snap decisions under stressful and dangerous conditions on overcrowded and convoluted road designs that they are sometimes completely unfamiliar with. Of course it’s going to be bad sometimes. If anything, it’s a wonder it’s not worse than it is.
This is a very clever but simple idea. Back in my hitchhiking days I would obviously spend lots of time standing beside a road watching cars go past and I noticed that some places had significantly more dents and miscolored fenders etc. (like Tacoma, Washington) I always assumed it as just a town of “bad drivers” (like a fucking liberal dipshit) Its so obvious that it must be the material conditions. I’m sure proximity to an international airport is going to mean more fender benders but instead we’ve been conditioned to blame the people.
Thanks for this.
That said there are some really bad drivers, like me.
driving is so scaray. this is very good analysis but also driving is so scaray and i cant imagine doing it. so scaray
I get that. I do it when I have to, but I’m also pretty conscious of how dangerous it is and I kind of resent how many people have to do it in the first place. Especially because I live in the US and it could have had robust high speed trains decades ago if not for the iron grip of the fossil fuel industry. Instead, it’s an individualist car hell.
“Socialism. People’s Power.”
The MST(Movimiento de los Trabajadores Rurales Sin Tierra ) l is holding its 14th National Meeting in Salvador, Bahia, with 3,600 delegates from across the country in attendance.
The agenda includes building socialism and fostering unity among the peoples of the world.
A Dutch dog breeder decided to quit because their dogs were probably being used by the IDF and the increasing (legal) pressure from activists became too heavy. Activism works.
🫵 You WILL have hope, comrade.
Is Sepultura lib?
Goddamnit! I thought Cavalera-era Sepultura was great.
My another disappointment was learning Gojira’s “The Chant” was a “fReE Ti88€t” song.
that’s why I don’t like them anymore. They even dedicated a song to Ukraine, but they never made a song about freeing palestine.
Sad to see how good musicians have bad opinions. To cope with that, I ignore the album with shitlib songs. At least I can keep my enjoyment that way.

Hello everyone, just submitted documents for internship.
