Completely out of character I will fly for my holiday soon and funny enough I am nervous that the airport will be blocked by climate activists lol. Guess it is easy supporting when you’re not the one being targeted normally.

Friedrich Engels owned a factory, making him a capitalist. Sure, it might not be the most ethical thing to do when you consider yourself a communist but it’s not always that black and white. Also, you owning one appartment and renting it out for whatever reason will not make you comparable to big property owners that own 600 houses.

It’s better not to own an appartment that you’re only going to rent out though.

Clearly, as they are not Gen Sigma yet

In communist Belgium I am forced to take my vacation days throughout the year 😔

Considering I was suffering from bronchitis for three weeks and I will soon go on a 2 week holiday to what is basically a vertical only island I am starting to wonder why I ever registered to run a marathon in october lol. But I will keep training and inshallah

Keep in mind this is a much smaller scale than any bigger society but there are some Belgian communes for example that use time as a metric. For example: I work x amount of time doing stuff for you, like working in your garden, and you then owe me x amount of time to do something for me. Basically everyone trades their time to meet the needs of the commune.

Basically something like this should be doable:

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.

Yeah there’s a lot of them on the road. Solid car.

Citroën Berlingo

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.

Lmao I still can’t access RT due to sanctions

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.

I’m guessing most advanced countries have advanced surveillance techniques and they are 100% using them to check on their people. ‘Surveillance’ is also such a container term. Everything from national security to counterterrorism to spying on dissidents to just collecting data can be seen as surveillance. But China bad because it is developing a system on their own outside of the US sphere of influence, I guess. The former head of the Dutch Secret Service has now become Dutch Prime Minister but you don’t see the media losing their shit over it. Meanwhile, imagine a person like that becoming the head of state in China.

My Chinese friends always tell me the security in China can be pretty intense, especially going in and out of the country. But they never felt threatened or anything. Anecdotal for sure, but sometimes it seems people forget you can actually talk to Chinese people about their experiences.

Babe, the Wearable Worksurface stays on during sex

Luckily they got called out in the comments for it

That sub consists of very vain people wanting to get some compliments mostly. I don’t mind banter between friends and family if the banter goes both ways. Roasting random people because of their looks is just weird behavior.

You know what some people do need to be bullied even harder
