      So jealous. Here in the Netherlands they are planning a neighborhood in Utrecht, where they will only start building in 2035.

      Thank you! This went viral on twitter and I found the name of the project, it’s the ragwon offshore fishing farm. With this I was able to find more pictures, going to see about making a page for it on prolewiki

      There’s a LOT more pictures on google but I won’t saturate the grad’s server with them lol

        I am glad that I was able to help!

        If there is interest for this, I can probably make posts of my findings along with pictures on c/korea

          non-editors can edit content pages or even create them now on ProleWiki (it just logs your IP), however you can’t upload pictures but you can use them if they’re already uploaded. I just need to get around to uploading a bunch of pictures about it on PW and then anyone will be able to add to the page. If you google ragwon county offshore farm a lot of information comes up so there’s plenty of sources to pick from.

    Had the honor to create a garden for a friend this weekend. It was my first garden I have done for someone else. I made a border with native bee friendly plants. I go to the gym quite often but there are some muscles that the gym can’t train that only manual labor seems to target lol. My forearms are sore as fuck from removing grass, lifting tiles and stuff.

    Political wise things seemed to have died down a bit for some reason. Maybe because of the holiday but then again life goes on and things can be done. Bit of a bummer.

    We managed to stop a weapons shipment going through our port. Even a judge has now ruled it illegal. A while ago one did go through and we increased pressure, with success.

    At this point anyone who supports AOC is an open fascist in my view. No nuances, no buts, no ifs. Death to America and death to Israel.

    With me living in the Benelux, it amazes how little I hear and know about Luxembourg. I feel like as someone living in the Netherlands I feel like I still don’t know enough about the country, even though I was there for a couple of days last summer

      A tax haven full of french speaking germans. The left-wing movement died once the steel industry went kaput.

        They speak their own language called Luxembourgish which developed from a German dialect but it seems they speak French more. When I was in Luxembourg I heard more French. Kind of a shame.

          Luxembourgish is basically the dialect they speak in trier but with more french loanwords mixed in - it was constructed post-ww2 for obvious reasons. French is more popular due to the large Portuguese, french and belgian diaspora/commuters, so luxembourgish is only prioritized by like the local right-wing culture war people.

          Fun fact its also spoken in Arlon in belgium but is practically extinct there.

      I mean it’s a country with a population the size of Rotterdam only most of them are living pretty comfortable, so no real outrageous shit happens there.

      Last I heard they do have free public transport though. Good hiking trails too.

      Also: Belgium has a part of Luxemburg too. Nothing ever happens there either. Just small villages in between rolling hills.

    So the main stage of a festival nearby burned down just now (Tomorrowland, huge festival). Not only are people treating it like some 9/11 (festival didn’t start, nobody hurt), the media were spreading fake AI images of a burned down stage as well. Scary stuff. Guess that happens when you need to be the first to get the clicks.

      Blackshirts and Reds from Michael Parenti is a good book to include in your plans!

      Also, I am sorry for your loss in your job. Hope this opens a door for a better future for you.

      If you have the space plant a herb garden. Once established herbs are generally low maintenance and fresh herbs are an easy +10% bonus to your cooking skills.

    I’ve been using an MMO to help distract me from emotional eating, which as odd as it might sound, has worked so far (albeit not without some hard days). But I think the forums for the MMO are making things harder. It’s sort of habitual for me to want to involve myself in forums for stuff, but the forums for the game in question are tinted by corporate bootlicking as many western forums for products are. I was thinking about it today and what a lot of the behavior there reminds me of is the Narcissist’s Prayer. Somebody will post a complaint about the game, or a polite ask for something to be added to it or for something to be different about it, and the spirit of like half the replies will go something like: “That’s not a valid thing to say. And if it is, it’s not a big deal. And if it is a big deal, it’s not the company’s fault. And if it is the company’s fault, it’s because you deserved it. And if you didn’t deserve it, well fuck you anyway for saying things about other things, I am mad at the world and hate everyone and everything.”

    Then these same kind of people will suddenly remember what a valid complaint or request is when they have a complaint or request of their own. It very much mimics the reactionary stuff you see in USian politics.

      idk why but this reminded me of those pro gamers that ask for the games to be changed but ONLY with changes they claim as “good for all players” when in fact it helps them

      like dream fortnite asking for glowing tentafish in square buildagame (i mean dream apparently making his fans vote for the glowsquid instead of anything else because it apparently hinders speedrunning less, i heard shit like this)
