When is it "enough" money? by Flyberius in c/[email protected]

I never liked Ray Winston, but seeing him in all the gambling ads in the UK made me want to car bomb him. A self-satisfied, wide-boy EastEnder conning working class people into wasting their money on an addiction. Fuck him, I hope he has a stroke

Why has there been such an influx of idiots lately?

I have no obligation to struggle on on your behalf. Nor anyone else.

You'll be pleased to hear I'm fucking off, as you and your ilk love to tell me when I voice my opinion on the state of the country.

Good luck voting your way out of this mess. I'll be back when you guys realise the need for a revolution.

There will be no difference no matter who gets in. You will get poorer, they will get richer, and we'll continue to backslide further and further right.

Why Britain is the world’s worst on homelessness by Flyberius in c/[email protected]

Yes, but they are all landlords, and ultimately they don't give two shits about the voters who helped them into power. They are beholden to capital.

Should we just stop oil? Well, let’s look at what happens if we do! by Flyberius in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

Is this a bit? It's so incredibly stupid that you would think anyone would just turn the oil off rather than transition to clean energy. They even call the process Green Transition

Rishi Sunak hints he could stay on as Tory leader if he loses General Election by Flyberius in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Honestly rishi, do whatever the fuck your want. The people of the UK are so fucking gullible and politically illiterate that in some ways I think they deserve him as a leader.

I'm getting out of here

Friend just made me aware of this ongoing shittery in the UK. Ongoing demonstration in London at the moment. I said I would spread the word.

Pretty sure this is straight up illegal.

I'm a beekeeper. Fuck this stupid "humanity fuck yeah" bullshit. We trick the bees into staying in the hive. They do not accept or know anything about us stealing their honey. I work very hard to ensure that they don't leave the hive via swarming. I participate in bee eugenics by controlling which queens I allow to continue laying, executing those that are not laying enough, laying too much, or producing offspring with bad temperaments. It's a constant battle against their will to be free.

I'm a bee slave owner.

Does ACAB include the city watch from Ankh-Morpork? (hexbear.net)

I'm leaning towards yes, because despite their inclusivity and the general feel-good vibes of the stories, the characters themselves flirt with police brutality quite a bit, and who knows exactly what they get up to in their lives outside the novels.

Any more nuanced views from my fellow hexbearians (and lemmings)? I'm slightly less articulate than Detritus on a hot day, and I wonder how much the politics and views of Terry Pratchett comes up in leftist discourse.

Biden calls China a 'ticking time bomb' due to economic troubles by Flyberius in c/[email protected]

I don't think a world order built by China would be better than the shitty one we got from the US

I do to be honest.

Any good listening resources for Mandarin? (hexbear.net)

Hi all,

I've been learning Mandarin for just over 6 months but I am having trouble with my listening comprehension. Does anyone have any good resources for listening practice? I am looking for HSK 1/2 level stuff. I basically just need to immerse myself in as much content as I possibly can until all this vocab and grammar starts to cement itself in my brain.

I already use Hello Chinese and a few other apps. Ideally I would just be looking for quick fire phrases and conversations that I can listen along to. Youtube has some stuff but the quality is always a bit up and down.

Thanks
