The point I was trying to convey is that the only democratic socialist countries that I’m aware of are rich off of either abundant natural resources or rent-seeking from more exploitative countries like the US. Is it a sustainable model for poor countries too? Historically they’ve fallen into autocracy. I want it to work everywhere because I believe in justice, but I can’t prove it with math or precedent.

That global democratic socialism can work. Currently the only states successful in implementing it are oil-rich nordic countries, and I want to believe it can work elsewhere but it’ll be hard to prove.

Yep! Just slice it thin so it cooks in the oven. I do about 2mm thick slices.

I recently discovered flammkuchen, which is a thin crust pizza with creme fraiche instead of red sauce, bacon, caramelized onions, and potato. I can’t get enough!

The Spine by Darren Korb and Ashley Barret, from the Transistor soundtrack. Not my kind of game honestly, I never finished it, but I keep coming back to the soundtrack ❤️

Oh wow, me too! In my local grocery store I can only use my phone (particularly Todoist) about five seconds at a time before the UI crashes to the lock screen. I’m on a Pixel 5 with CalyxOS.

I heard a great talk with Sian Sutherland on plastic reduction recently, specifically around brand agnostic standardized metal bottles: https://youtu.be/jTs6KejhSg4?feature=shared
