Listen, this user is a terminally online anarchist who complains about tankies and calls Stalin genocidal. But shes correct about this one. Mostly. I mean using the term “bedtime abolition” sounds dumb but Im pretty sure she only did that because its a common joke about anarchists. The core point is about how 9-5 work schedules dont work for everyone. As an ND person who struggles with culturally normal sleep schedules, I absolutely agree that society needs to accomodate these things. I absolutely agree that its literally normal talk everyone says that work schedules suck.

People saying “just go to bed on time” or “just pop a melatonin” have never been in the position of trying to do that and failing, just laying awake for hours until you finally fall asleep two hours before you need to be up.

      I’m trying to interpret the point of the order of the flags. I think it’s kind of looped, so US/China are next to each other here, which leaves most of the rest as natural pairs. Israel/Palestine, Ukraine/Russia. But do Greece and Turkey have some beef I’m not familiar with? Because that one still confuses me.

        Yeah, I think they have a bit of the “two cultures with a lot of intermingling who both claim they invented XYZ and used to fight about borders” thing going on.

        They both claim sovereignty over the whole of Cyprus and both control a portion of it, IIRC.

        Of course the Greeks and Turks hate each other. Some Greeks are still salty over the Ottoman Empire. You can tell this poster never listened to the soothing rants of Stavros “The Mind” Halkias.
