The "Hand of Timba", erected to commemorate those killed during the Pidjiguiti Massacre
On this day in 1959, the Pidjiguiti Massacre occurred when Portuguese police (PIDE) fired on striking dock workers in Bissau, Portuguese Guinea, killing 50 people. The incident led anti-colonial activists (PAIGC) to abandon non-violence.
When dock workers went on strike to seek higher pay, their manager called the Portuguese state police (PIDE) to the scene, who fired into the crowd, killing at least 50 people.
The government blamed the anti-colonial group "Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde" (PAIGC) for the labor unrest, arresting several of its members. The incident caused PAIGC to abandon their campaign of non-violent resistance, leading to the Guinea-Bissau War of Independence in 1963, which culminated in independence for Cape Verde and all of Portuguese Africa.
Today, near the Pidjiguiti docks, there is a large black fist known as the "Hand of Timba", which commemorates those killed that day.

Okay I am happily in a very long term relationship, and would not change that, but I need to get this off my chest:
When I was in high-school, I was friends with this woman who was just incredibly hot. Like, probably a 1 to 1 Christina Applegate lookalike. Of course i had a crush, but I did the decent thing, wrote her off as out of my league and carried on with our friendship.
She would do this funny joke where she'd kiss me or look me dead in the eyes and say "Nagarjuna, I am in love with you." Other times she'd suggest we take a nap together.
Of course I wasn't sleepy, so I told her that she could and I'd make her coffee when she woke up (I was a good friend.)
It's not that I didn't know what was going on it was that I had written myself off as unlovable and was really anxious about any relationship because I hadn't been in one and I had intense social anxiety.
I ran into her again a few years ago and told her about my relationship, and she was livid! She yelled at me and said "I thought you were asexual!"
She has not talked to me since...
So the moral of the story? Sometimes by being a socially anxious wreck you're actually being incredibly rude and burning one of the closest friendships you've ever had.
Yeah I never had it that bad but I have done it on a smaller scale.
feeling better about myself. one year ago i was a 28 year old virgin with no friends and no job. now i'm a 29 year old virgin with friends and a job.
Congrats on maintaining your volcel pledge for another year! Other stuff sounds cool too.
when you see someone talking about the seolites getting advanced technology from the future
Just 4 working days left in my current job. I'm well into the "what are they gonna do, fire me?" phase.
The guy directly above me is leaving in a month and I can tell he's in that phase. But I can't say I blame him even if it inconveniences me, I'd do the same thing.
ong the freedom one feels in the twilight of a job they already put in notice 4 is one of the most underrated blissful emotional spaces out there in this world
also im actually watching the g-witch show now. I'm not suuper sure how I feel about it, I dont think I'm a huge fan of the whole gundam thing. But I'm still interested in seeing how it goes

This is like the most romantic circumstance to meet anybody id imagine
Re: this girl
It sounds like you are in. Just make a move. If yer nervous just say "I'm not good at this but can I kiss you?" The butterflies in your belly will try to kill you before you can get the words out just tell yourself that they are a good feeling and then out with it.
not me

ShowHow does everyone miss the part that hexbear is intending to build bots that mass vote and troll other instances and their communities by exploiting the way federation works?
What the duck is wrong with people. They explicitly said they were building a bot network that couldn’t be blocked except through defederation… I feel like I’m taking crazy pills
Don’t make bots to break other instances and destroy their communities. Problem solved. You won’t get banned or defederated.

God that comment was so funny, they somehow confused that lemmygrad post for a hexbear post, and even then it was a post from a year and half ago from a user who barely used lemmygrad and hasnt used it in well over a year
Edit: and it was talking about a bot network to manipulate reddit haha

Look at top comment. Hey if anyone has a .world account could you let them know how big of a moron they are? This is the post they’re referencing: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/158656
Make sure to point out that this is 1) about reddit 2) a post from well over a year ago by a user who used the instance for 1 month and hasnt used it since
