I use Mint and I remember almost having a crashout over not being able to install a certain app so… being technologically illiterate I think I'm staying on the second stage xd

p.s.: i still haven't found a way to install that specific app but i'm anyhow more used to Mint now since the time I switched

Thanks! and sorry for late reply; I don't own a 3d printer so I just draw the designs on the piece of paper (better the thicker one, almost like cardboard), and glue them on a base made of plastic bottle caps. Basically I just take the bottle caps and cut them with the hot knife (i believe using something like paper knife would be easier). I cover it with nail polish after i glued the designed i've drawn on the cap, and of course I put a safety pin on it with hot glue on the other side. They don't always look elegant, but I'm mostly happy from just the fact that I actually finished the project for once.

Another way I make the pins is by cutting off the bottom of a metal can (like the soda/energy drink one) and draw on it with acrylic markers (i recommend Posca markers although they're not very cheap) and cover it with nail polish/acrylic varnish/gloss. These also turn out well and they're larger than the bottle cap ones. So far I have one with the pride flag made from the can of dr. Pepper :3

Maybe there are artists out there who you can order, but if you're asking me, I'm afraid at the moment I can't, I just started with this and I need a bit more skill and materials to do any sort of commissions

This word also exists in Polish, Lithuanian, and Russian, as a loanword from French. Because I imagine speakers of Svobenian living somewhere in central Europe (i even have the whole althist thing where i made Svobenia, country of Svobenians, being located in what is now Kaliningrad oblast), i find it sensible that they'd also borrow this word.

And yeah, it's a Germanic language, developing separately from probably originally Eastern Germanic branch, somewhere in what is now Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, but then got heavily influenced by some early West Slavic language. I'm gonna elaborate on the whole history of svobenes once i actually "finish" the language

I'd add to that, even though teachers are not doing these exams, they have to inspect students by sitting there for hours and miserable salaries. They aren't even allowed to leave the classrooms during the exam. So overall these exams aren't beneficial neither for student nor for a teacher, but yeah, for those on the top

I can suppose you don't have any problems with landlords, bosses, or discrimination, you're the member of the class that has the best or at least good quality of life under the current system. Your main problem are some shitty bikes, while some have to deal with the fact they don't have a roof under their head just because some greedy owner doesn't allow them to live in an unused house, or a sick person who cannot afford treatment again because they have to pay some absurdly large sum of money. Capitalism is not a system that sustains everyone or gives equal opportunity for everyone's growth, no, it's just for a small, lucky group of people, it concentrates wealth at the top of the hierarchy.

The communities I mentioned are self-sustaining and anti-hierarchical, they grow together for the good of the community, and at least trying to be those places where there's no discrimination, and not the place where basic needs are a commodity (like your beloved Belgium). They're poor by the standards of modern capitalist countries, which is all about money, so in my eyes, there's no such thing as "poor", just a person who is born in the system where their class is treated unfairly.

... and never working a day?

How scary!!! /s

What's the largest amount of people that tried this moneyless stateless society stuff and how long did it last

Many indigenous peoples lived so for millennia. In Europe, the attempts from the past were Paris Commune most notably, Makhno's Free Territory, etc. Those which stand today are Rojava, "Exarcheia" in Greece, "Christiania" in Denmark, areas in Mexico controlled by Zapatistas, hundreds of small intentional communities, and many tribal communities.

Ussr was state capitalist, north Korea is Kim's paradise. Cuba is state capitalist. China is capitalist.

Yeah, I know?
