“Low income”, as defined by the state, is anything below $70,650 in Los Angeles county.

Seconding Flonase. It opens me right up, even when I’m sick.

Empress has a long history of narcissism and delusions of grandeur. I hate to link back to reddit, but there’s a good but outdated writeup on hobbydrama. She’s only gotten worse since and is now going hard on bigotry. She’s trying to form her own little cult too.

It’s nice that there are no baked-in subs, but the quality there is pretty bad and it’s missing 5 episodes. I appreciate the help in any case.

Communism is the communal ownership of all means of production (not just the workers owning the place they work at like socialism) and communal distribution of resources based on need (ideally). A hippie commune where everyone works a job and everyone is distributed food, goods, etc. based on their needs without money being involved is a solid, small scale model of communism, though there are a lot of issues and various theoretical solutions when it’s scaled up beyond a group of like-minded individuals who all know each other. In theory such a society is classless and has no use for currency. The reality is such a society has never actually existed and things fell apart along the way, usually by someone seizing power in the transitionary period and the state becoming a dictatorship instead.

For small scale references, worker cooperatives are a good example of socialism and communes are a good example of communism.

Metal tracker is the best around. Now if only I could get a signup confirmation email to go through.

If you’re into Tabletop Simulator they have the whole thing there. Check the comments for other versions with built in scripting and such.

Hypernauts (1996). It’s an old TV series that was cancelled part way through airing. I found a complete season on a TV archive project website, but it’s 480p and has baked in Japanese subs that obscure a lot of the screen. The show itself isn’t great, it’s just something I’d like to collect.

I’ve only found very dodgy quality rips. It’s been a constant struggle and my wife and I are huge Stargate fans. I currently have a lot of mix and match files that I’ve selected as the best quality ones from many, many different season packs, and I still wouldn’t call my collection anywhere near good.

When it comes to defining economic systems, no. Unless the workers own the means of production, it’s not socialism. Even social democracies like the Nordic countries is just capitalism with safety nets and strong unions, not socialism. Calling such a system socialism only muddies the waters, which is exactly why Republicans do it, to conflate basic welfare systems and unions with evil socialism! We shouldn’t empower Republican talking points.

Much the same way people on the left have been adopting the Republican definition of socialism, as in any time the government does anything. Like having basic welfare or some such suddenly equals socialism.

Now people have been overusing neoliberal so much that the ill informed have started using it for people that are clearly pro government spending, pro social safety net, pro regulation, etc. Discussion becomes unhelpful when people redefine the means by with we identify ideologies.
