This made me realize two things about Harry Potter. 1: why do the wizards not simply use magic AND guns? 2: oculus repairo is a stupid fucking spell. You're telling me there's a specific spell just for repairing glasses? That's just bad writing.

So, obviously research this yourself and don't listen to some dumbass on the Internet. As I understand it, there's a difference between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is good for your cholesterol and blood sugar. Insoluble fiber is good for digestion. It's very likely that any fiber gummies are gonna be soluble fiber. I take the metamucil capsules for insoluble and fiber gummies for soluble.

This has been my nerd rant.

I used to love that dude, too. I also used to go on Reddit though. Thankfully, I've outgrown both.

Or we could just build up the working class with unions and worker co-ops

Yeah, that'll never happen.

It was many factions. I'm just saying all of them were trying to have third revolutions while the people starved to death. At some point, revolutions end with a unifying government that isn't trying to murder each other. Lenin was not the villain you're painting him to be.

That's not true at all. The Mensheviks wanted to cooperate with the bourgeoisie and were therefore a bad representation of socialism. Lenin formed the Bolsheviks because the Mensheviks were being stupid. The country was also fractured after the revolution and many groups of counter-revolutionary groups were trying to overthrow the barely formed government. Meanwhile famines were ravaging the country. Understanding the historical context of Russia in 1917 and the economic struggles the people were dealing with is very important to understanding why things happened the way they did. Looking at the aftermath of a revolution where everyone is vying for power and killing each other doesn't automatically make the winner of that power grab the bad guys.

Weird, I was under the impression that the purges happened after Lenin died. Can ghosts lead a purge?

At some point it's really up to the consumers to stop buying shit games

Okay, here's a real article from Stanford actually explaining the breakdown of state owned vs private owned equity in China. And this is a "China bad" article, so you know I'm not cherry picking data from some bullshit website. https://sccei.fsi.stanford.edu/china-briefs/rise-state-connected-private-sector-china

It will never cease to amaze me that people can have the full power of the Internet at their fingertips and have the wherewithal to not look something up before saying something stupid.
