I think I want to switch from learning Portuguese to learning Spanish. I noticed I come across more Spanish and I enjoy speaking in it a lot more than in Portuguese

[–] davel@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 day ago

An easy switch. Spanish & Portuguese mutual intelligibility is not symmetrical. Portuguese speakers have the advantage.

Protest against gentrification in Mexico

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is it mostly about expats, or about richer Mexicans as well?

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Prob expats since you see signs written in English.

So femicide is a real problem here. Every other week a woman gets murdered in Belgium, in most cases by a partner or someone close to them. Most of the time for patriarchal reasons.

What's funny to me is that right wingers shout a lot about revenge killing in Muslim communities but remains silent about the dozens of women killed every year by Belgian men.

As I was making the comment above a dude set his wife on fire while being on parole because prisons are too full here

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 days ago

The rich or more wealthy get parole while the dirt-poor don't and are left out sight and out of mind.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 4 days ago

More prisons beget more crime, tbh.

I never thought an european country had that problem. TIL

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 days ago

Well I feel like it gets swept under the rug because of Western supremacy views. Just 'incidents' rather than a structural societal problem.

Tomorrow morning the yearly visit to János Kádár's grave will take place in Budapest.

To be able to grasp what he meant to Hungary, consider reading something from him from here:

Or check out what life was like in Hungary during his time with us:

You have me interested. I'll read.

Another day, another lazy horseshoe theorist meme raking in thousands of updoots.

This is a perfect example of why I rarely pay attention to these topics anymore. Both the OP’s point and the comments therebelow follow the same script, and it is rare for anybody to show up citing scientific journals, interesting-sounding history books, or even amateur investigators like Moss Robeson.

I can understand other communists being angry at threads like that, but after you’ve seen them so many times you become desensitized and too exhausted to be angry. They’re all so boring.

Especially reddit, get off there. Absolutely reactionary pedo infested place. And everyone else are libs (don't know which is worse)

Day #8 of going through the four withdrawals of Guanfacine (lowered the dosage), caffeine pills (now I mostly just drink tea as opposed to the five 200 mg pills I was taking every other day), Lexapro (I'm now taking Zoloft), and vitamins (I was taking more than recommended for over a year, maybe two, and got hypervitaminosis).

I feel... pretty good today!

I took creatine for the past week or so and doubled my dose of it in the last three days.

Why am I so angry right now? Very angry?

It's the only supplement I'm taking, btw.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

From what I read, past the loading phase you don't actually want to take more than 5 grams daily. Your body isn't able to absorb more than that effectively, and it just ends up putting stress on your kidneys.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Actually, I should be honest: I went above 5 gram, doubling it for seven days straight...

This is my 1000th comment on Lemmy and I think it's a good time to take a look back. It's already been 2.5 years, and although I haven't participated much, I feel I have started to learn a lot and grow politically thanks to Lemmygrad, Hexbear more recently, and a few comrades on lemmy.ml and other instances (even the occasional .world). 2 years ago I was very much a lib. Now I sometimes take the time to read through articles, made a list of books to read and bought a few, to my family and I. To reflect, time passes too quickly and I haven't read the tiny Engels book on my night stand. I'm lucky enough to not have a physically demanding job but at the end of the day I'm still exhausted and drained. I wish others in my branch could realize we are very much exploited, even though it is at different degrees. Another bothering point is that even the leftist of my friends has a hard time challenging the non stop propaganda we are fed, and it's depressing

This comment was a mess. Thank you Lemmygrad, keep it up, and for those who have the energy to explain basic things to liberals: yes, it matters

The mosque in my city that got send a letter with a bullet in it the other day just received another one and it shocks me to see how little people care.

[–] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 6 days ago

In a world where antisemitism holds so much weight, islamophobia apparently doesn't matter at all.

(yeah I know that real bigotry against jews barely matters too and that the word has been coopted by zionists)

Alright.. Be Honest Comrades..

I dont Trust Zohran.. Yeah...Yeah He Make Right-wingers Meltdown..

I just Hope He's Not AOC 2.0

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

in a vacuum he seems like a great guy but it's hardly relevant in the grand scheme of things. at best he is going to implement policies that marginally improve NYC people's lives, which is something i could hardly care about. heck even if lenin himself were to become mayor, it straight up doesn't matter, the imperial core won't be reformed through liberal democracy.
