This is my last week of semester 4! I have two finals, one for history and one for polisci. The history one is a take-home, open book, exam and it lasts two days—I have to write two essays; the polisci one is in-person and on Friday, I have to write two essays for that one too. After this I am free for two months and then back to the grind in September. The professor of my genocide history class from last semester is going to be my prof. for this new class so thats cool… hopefully it goes well 😬
Anyway, I think I’ll try spending July and august reading theory.
Good luck comrade !

There’s a discussion going on on the Dutch football subreddit about a non binary person playing with a women’s team. The team won a match after which their opponent filed a complaint.
I again had some discussion with some nerds who immediately went that trans women should not belong in women’s sport with the standard arguments, you know the drill.
The best were the comments from redditors saying they (the NB person) shouldn’t be allowed because they might feel like an NB, but biologically they are still a man.
Which brings me to the best part: the person was born a female, wanted to transition to male and then found out they were non binary instead. So, there is absolutely no advantage for them. But Redditors won’t even read an article which clearly stated this and instead give their expert advice anyway.
I want to dispel a myth here. There is generally no advantage for trans women in almost all sports. If you know trans women you know that almost all of us are not athletic at all. And those of us that are have a significantly lower VO2 max than cis women athletes. When trans women are allowed to compete as women we do not see an unusually high win rate and we usually lose. Trans women were mostly allowed to compete in the Olympics for a while and have never won a medal. The whole notion that trans women have a biological advantage in sports is nothing but absurdity and transmisogyny and does not have any basis in reality. And even if we do win, or even do better than last place, people act as if the sky is falling. It is not the end of the world if a woman wins because she had a biological advantage in the biological advantage measuring contests.
very much

Progressivism has yet to reach the stage were trans men exist within the minds of cis people
A person who was assigned at birth as a female? and IS ALSO TRANS? THE WOKES HAVE GONE TOO FAR, WHAT’S NEXT A BLACK PERSON?
come out, ye black and trans
- the cis
tired of having friends and family who want to do things with me (and also a job) instead of being able to just post up and watch 4-5 matches of football per day
Careful what you wish away!

A sad day for us all
As of, I can’t recall exactly, a couple of days ago? The “Next” button at the bottom of the feed page just takes me to the same first page of results. Is anyone else experiencing this?
works fine for me – are you using the desktop/mobile version of lemmygrad.ml, or something else?
Hi, I’m on desktop, Firefox browser. Though now I’m thinking about it, maybe I do need to look into updating my browser. I might have disabled updates at some point in order to keep things the same, but that might mess with it if depends on something newer? Hmm.
Barring any info that it might be something else, I might look into browser update later today to see if that makes any difference.
I’m using a Firefox-based browser too. I don’t think the “next” button is using some new functionality but you might as well update the browser (for security fixes, at the very least)
So, thanks for the back and forth on this. I ended up updating and it seems to be working again now. Since you figure it’s not using new functionality, my best guess is something old got deprecated in a way that my version was depending on in some part of the process.
Either way, working now, so yay.
I love my Keffiyeh, not only for political statements but it’s great headwear for against the sun. But don’t have the courage to wear it casually.
Here’s a song about the Kuffiyeh that I like https://play.samaanetwork.net/music/lof-3eqalak/
Honor of Kings is out yesterday! Finally, people will move on from ML: BOING BOING.
Elden weekend approaches
One of my dreams is coming true as tomorrow I will buy a van which I will convert to a sleeping area so that I can tour around a bit. The world may be going to shit but I will at least have had some adventure before that.
Brand and model?
Citroën Berlingo
I have an uncle who drives one of them, one of the most vans
Yeah there’s a lot of them on the road. Solid car.
Probably going to follow in your footsteps in a year. What kind of van is it?
Well maybe not van as in the kind of vehicle you’d think about when you see these van life people, but it’s a Citroën Berlingo. It has enough space to add a bed and with some thought you can also add storage and a system that can be modified into a bench and a table.
My father in law has one too and despite it not being the biggest van model out there, it is surprisingly spacious and you can comfortably take long trips with it.
Citroën Berlingo
I’m guessing a 2m length bed would be difficult?
I tried laying down in the back and if I slide the front seats forward it is big enough. You wouldn’t be able to constantly have the bed installed I think but that’s why I will build a convertable setup. That way I have room to sit during the day and at night I can unfold the construction so that it is a bed.
With a smaller van you just have to be creative. My sister in law also has a van but it is one of those moving vans, like a small truck. She can fit an entire kitchen, seating area, bedroom and bathroom in there. I will never get that in a Berlingo but based on the vids on YouTube and the build my father in law has I should be able to manage.
Basically something like this should be doable:
Tomorrow I am going to explain how the British Empire inspired the Third Reich. It is a subject that I have been wanting to discuss for a couple of years now but I lacked the material for it.
Looking forward to it! We’ve all heard how the US inspired them, but their relationship to the British empire isn’t talked about nearly as much.
Copium in the comments of this post
Apparently Redstream are anti-China, shit sucks. Thought they were ML, but turns out they’re probably Maoists
Yeah, they had a post praising the Shining Path. The comments tore it apart for obvious reasons. It sometimes covers the war in Ukraine as “inter-imperialist” too.
never trust media by looking at their aesthetics.
There was a post recently also about how Pamphlets was being cringe and was saying some really weird things. I take the same view on them as i do on Redstream: yes they have some bad takes and no they are not completely aligned with our views, but they are nonetheless useful as a source of agitprop content. We can take what’s good and discard/criticize the bad.
Luckily they got called out in the comments for it
