Just steal them from Hobby Lobby. They don't have anti-theft towers or LP.
Edit: also if you want a nice back patch but the band you like doesn't make them you can buy a T-shirt, cut the graphic, sew it on, and go over it with clear nail polish or something similar and voila. Or you could staple it on if your hand starts to hurt from hand sewing a whole back patch on, not recommended but it's what I ended up doing when I was a punk kid.
Edit edit: You can also fill in empty space with safety pins, they look edgy but they also serve a practical purpose if any of your patches (or someone else's) start to come off.

I have a hand-me-down from a friend, it's pretty nice but I hardly ever use it in handheld mode which is where it really shines. I use it docked with a kbm+monitor setup. I am using a 4k monitor that I found for free in a Walmart, but I don't know if it was the optimal choice. The Steam Deck was really only ever intended to play games at 720p or 1080p so I ended up lowering my resolution a pretty large amount just to maintain 30fps in more modern games.
I like it overall though. It runs everything I need to run at a fine enough level and using it has taught me a lot about Linux, it's a very fun computer. I don't know if I would pay for it personally because I'm broke as fuck but I appreciate owning it.

Here's my advice for you as someone that's worked in a few factories and a warehouse: Get insoles for your shoes if you can, they'll help a lot. Prioritize protein dense foods, maybe take a shake to work. I basically abused acetaminophen when I was working my 12hr shifts, try not to poison yourself with painkillers. Some factories or warehouses have massage chairs in the break/lunch rooms, if your's does remember to use it! A little less ethical depending on how your factory handles breaks but try to take a little extra time than you're allowed if you can. In the same vein, if you have time to clean you have time to lean! Take every chance you can to rest.
You said you're in storage and I don't know what that means specifically but in any case, optimize your movements, especially if you're palletizing or something. Do not twist your body left or right to lift, remember to use your legs to lift, and keep objects in your power zone! The core of factory and warehouse work is about optimizing your movements to minimize pain and last longer.
Oh also if you can sneak earbuds into work and you're able to do your work safely with them, use music or podcasts to power through the shift. My best shifts were when I was able to sneak my wireless earbuds onto the factory floor. If that's not possible for you I'd recommend getting some nice reusable earplugs. They should be more comfortable and more effective than whatever your work is giving you, if they are anyways. Save your hearing!
And one more thing, remember to be careful outside of work too. Something as small as an RSI in your wrist can be enough to not make it through a shift, jeopardizing your job. That's all the advice I have, stay strong comrade.

This is probably eventually gonna get to the Toki Pona community I tried to get going and I'm fine with it, I tried getting it off the ground but obviously there just isn't a big enough audience for it.

I'd like to add context here that they're talking about the Assassin's Creed controversy, not actually hate crimes against Asian americans or anything of the sort. You can confirm this by looking at their Reddit account where they've posted about it and then regurgitated this exact comment into a post on /r/TheDeprogram.

There's still coercive sterilization being done too. Doctors on reservations are quick to pitch sterilizing procedures for women for issues that can be resolved in other ways.

Correction on blood quantum: the vast majority of tribes still rely on blood quantum for enrollment. The requirement can range anywhere from 1/32 to 1/2. Blood quantum is still in use because it's often a necessity to receive federal recognition that opens up the tribe to certain forms of economic support. Most tribes that use blood quantum also require proof of lineal descent. There is a movement to do away with blood quantum in favor of lineal descent as more of us wake up to it's genocidal purpose. But this is a slow battle as we still have to get this knowledge into the minds of our comrades and then past our tribe governments, councils, etc. which tend to be stacked with corrupt liberals.

Yeah the school's grants were embezzled by some dude and then they didn't meet the minimum amount of students so they were shut down. It was a pretty awesome school besides that, I enjoyed learning there.
Hey comrades, I'm thinking about getting a degree. About 7-8 months ago I made a post asking about the process of obtaining citizenship in China and I was met with the expected response that I should continue my education if I wished to stay there long-term. Initially I dismissed the advice and just put away the idea of living in China long-term, but in the past few months I think I've come around to continuing my education. This is a big deal for me, I dropped out of highschool when I was 18 and just two years from graduation because the school I was going to would shut down and I couldn't stomach starting over again at a new school in the middle of the George Floyd Riots and the COVID-19 Pandemic. I eventually tried to finish my highschool diploma but when the school went under a bunch of my credits just vanished into thin air and I was looking at another 3½ years of highschool so I gave up again. Now I'm 23 and with the support of my comrades on the commune I am finally feeling confident about picking up my schooling again, I'm planning on biting the bullet on the GED (which I should have done in the first place instead of going for the highschool diploma) and applying for college. I'm looking at mycology, I've had an interest in it since I was 18 and I love microscopic organisms. Fungi are extremely interesting to me and I'd love to learn more about them in ways that are not from the pervasive pop-science or spiritual/psychedelic angles that dominate in the West. I just wanted to share this with others, I'm excited and I've already started crawling through my old textbooks!

The controls are slightly different and there's little bits of QOL over the classic version too, but yeah it's basically the same game and the developers are working hard to keep them at pace with one another for people interested but not willing to commit to the $30. The remaster also has an ASCII mode which I like for whenever I wanna play a little old-school. :)

Yeah so adventure mode has actually been in Dwarf Fortress Classic for a very long time! What just entered beta is actually adventure mode for the new remastered version of the game which you can find on itch.io or Steam.
The latest Dwarf Fortress Classic version is at 50.12 which is up to date with Dwarf Fortress Remastered. I think you can only access the new beta version for adventure mode on Steam though. If you want to play Adventure mode on Classic you just open up a world you made and a screen should ask if you want to start "Fortress," "Adventure," or "Legends" and from there just select Adventure. Happy to help!
Here's a little video for folks new to adventure mode by Blind!

This is currently the most efficient method for slaughtering livestock for consumers. It's efficacy can be measured by the amount of stress hormones released into the meat. The animal doesn't have time to process the pain of the pneumatic bolt before it is stunned and exsanguinated.
Here is a sciencey article on the subject: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7463084/

I would say you're for the most part correct but we should all be very well aware of the dangers of our anthropomorphizing of animals. These negative reactions in the public tend to lead to horrible things being done to organisms like sharks and bugs that are important to their ecosystems and the world as a whole.
Projecting human standards of life and morality onto other organisms is inappropriate and a net-harm for both humanity and animals. People doing this behavior would do well to be reminded of how most of their favorite animals like cats, dogs, ducks, goats, etc. reproduce in ways that would be considered absolutely horrifying to our human cultures.

Reminds me of a story a comrade told me, in one of the Zapatista territories they saw someone piss in a river and get hit in the back of the head with a shovel once.

These are countries where not too long ago people shat and poured piss out their windows. Anglo castles had a potty house that sat over the castle walls and they'd hang their clothes in it because the unique environment killed the fleas and bugs on their clothes. They have never been known for their hygiene, Native Americans said the first colonists stank to hell and wouldn't bathe.

"Extinction was caused by persecution (mainly for specimens), land use changes, and the introduction of predators such as cats and stoats. Until the late 20th century the species' disappearance was generally accepted to be due to competition by introduced predators for the kiore, or Pacific rat, a favorite prey of the laughing owl (an idea originally advanced by Walter Buller). However, since the kiore is itself an introduced animal, the laughing owl originally preyed on small birds, reptiles, and bats, and later probably used introduced mice, as well. Direct predation on this unwary and gentle-natured bird seems much more likely to have caused the species' extinction." - Wikipedia

I hope you find what makes you happy, I know the feeling too. Sometimes I feel more native and sometimes I feel more Irish pagan like flipping back and forth. I was really into Sikhism at a point too, I think a lot of what the Guru Granth Sahib says aligns well with Marxism. I have faith that you will find what works for you cousin and comrade.
I just wanted to express my appreciation to everyone here for making Lemmygrad what it is. I love reading your analyses and seeing the memes you share. You always make me feel better and give me the motivation to keep fighting when something horrible is going on in our world. No other online Marxist community has been such a positive influence on my life like this one has, love you all very much. <3

I believe going off of what I see in the bottom left that the painting is probably post-2000 but I can't be sure. I can really feel the camaraderie of these two comrades.
Hey just wanted to see if anybody had any news about Niger, it's been quiet in my circles and I hope things are going well. If anyone has any news sites they could share that touch on Niger that would be appreciated. Edit: I accidentally typed in Nigeria instead of Niger. I changed the title and body to reflect that I'm trying to learn about the situation in Niger.
Hey comrades, I'm looking to hear experiences from people who've received visas or citizenship for China. I'm thinking about moving to China in the future but my resume isn't stellar. I've never graduated US highschool and my only work experience is as a farmhand, in a warehouse, and in a factory. I don't think I have any extremely marketable skills for something like a work visa. Interested to hear from y'all!

Hey comrades, I just want to make sure we're all aware of some basic opsec when it comes to leftist firearms. Whenever you take a picture on your phone or on a camera, Metadata is stored in the file. This metadata can include a lot of information like what phone you're using or the location it was taken. We all care about this for obvious reasons so it's very important that we're making sure to wipe the metadata and any identifiable landmarks or information on images we plan to post here. Take a moment to learn how to wipe and read metadata on images, you can find information online of how to do this. I personally just use an app on my phone to do it.
