I’ve literally had a friend I hadn’t talked to in over a decade show up out of fucking nowhere to pitch me on vibe coding as a career. Wild shit.

In through the nose, out through the mouth. Your nose is the first step in ‘processing’ air for the lungs. It warms, moistens, and filters the cold, dry, and dirty air for you. You exhale with your mouth because it’s bigger than your nose, which minimizes resistance.

Learn to steady your breaths. Practice, and I mean practice, breathing on counts. That’s inhale for X seconds, hold the same amount, then exhale on the same count. Start at 4 seconds, work your way up. You’re focusing on an even breath, so don’t accelerate or decelerate and if your lungs filled up before you hit your count then try again, but slower.

Learn to breathe from the diaphragm, as you mentioned. Expanding your diaphragm gives your lungs more room to expand, thus increasing your lung capacity. Plus it’s always good to be engaging your core muscles in every little way you can.

Practice a cleansing breath. An incredible tool against anxiety and panic, you’re essentially storing a bank of calm for a rainy day. When you’re feeling fine, breathe on counts, but instead of pushing yourself you close your eyes and focus on how you feel while you’re breathing. Do that, daily. Build the association. Then, when you need to settle tf down, you can take that same breath and connect to that same feeling.

You keep saying I referred to their gains as ‘fake’. You even put it in scare quotes I haven’t said that. I am assuming it is because you have to flatten and pervert the things I’ve actually said in order to respond to them

Holy shit hahaha did you really just link me an article that agrees with me? Bro mortgaged 70% of what was left of the German economy to hit Vegas and bet it all on lebensraum, only to discover that invading farmland destroys the farmland. He couldn’t even keep his shit running with slave labor, lmao.

Never learn how to read, bud. This was precious.

Except he didn’t. His plan to ‘rebuild the economy’ was military conquest. He stole enough from ‘undesirable’ German citizens to get the government liquid again, reneged on all the war debts that were keeping the German economy depressed (I’ll give him that much), then kiboshed all the social and economic programs he’d platformed on to go all-in on one titanic military push.

They simply did not build the infrastructure for a sustained war. And they certainly didn’t build the infrastructure for a functional economy.

Because the aforementioned billionaires, and previously multi-millionaires, have been spending untold billions over a period of nearly a century to keep them trapped in a propaganda bubble.

Hey not to ruin your fun but did you know Hitler embroiled Germany in an unwinnable war and ordered a few million people be executed, as well?

I’m sure you’ll see the light by then.

Oftentimes, devs are practically the only person who can. Especially small hobbyist devs. They’ll spend hundreds, if not thousands, of hours playing their own game as they build it and forget they have to then circle back and tune it for people who haven’t.

And that’s the question they bottlenecks the whole discussion. Have fun in “Europe” and we can come back to this topic when you can actually describe a European country.

Your lack of knowledge about your home country

If you’re not gonna take him seriously, why should I take you seriously? Your response was literally “nah bs” without any supporting evidence. We have entered clown land. Do better or I will tell you that you smell bad, too.

The funny thing is that between the fact that you’re not particularly attached to your supposed home country like every other European I’ve met and the issue of you not wanting to produce any specifics about any given European country, I’m pretty sure you’re not actually from Europe. Which means it’s reasonable to assume you’re making shit up to fit a narrative.

Which means I can safely assume you’re wrong by default until you can produce some sort of evidence other than “trust me bro I was there”.

Fabulous country

Which country

Bro is losing the ability to form coherent sentences. I think whatever he took finally hit.

Realistically, yeah.

Putin has always been a dictator, but he hasn’t always been a fascist. He started his career as a moderate technocrat that happened to have incredible access to KGB resources. Very handy if you’re in the market to be forever president. As time went on he’s been mixing and remixing his stances and aims.

As far as NK, I’m not sure they’ve ever been fascist. They’re just a vanilla authoritarian police state.

A major component you can use to point out fascism specifically out of the rogues gallery of evil ideologies is the notion that a fascist government specifically derives its power from endlessly designating and promising to destroy out-groups. If it lasts long enough to run out of targets, it goes on to consume itself.

Participation in the leaderless, lateral organization necessary for an anarchist society requires an ability to understand the praxis of both yourself and of others. You don’t necessarily need to accept and adopt it, and consistently challenging each other’s goals and methodologies is going to become the bedrock of the movement.

That being said, stone-wall history to a comrade working towards similar goals is how authoritarianism creeps in. Ultimately, you’re among friends, here. Talk on the actual points, we’ll participate in good faith.

You’re not wrong, the ‘fight like hell’ approach would have worked if we applied it in the 1900’s-1930’s. In America, at least. Back before the cult of wealth was properly established and the average Joe still gave a shit about the poor and the needy.

Today, you can really only expect coordinated civic participation to be able to fix small local problems. Which is still absolutely necessary if we’re going to fix larger issues, because our neighbors will believe in the thing they see as putting food on their table and a roof over their head.

Even just working at the individual-to-individual level is still worthwhile. Bringing one person into the fold, protecting one person from harm at the hands of our economy, or at this point even just dragging one person out of fascism, makes an admirable comrade.
