Yes, both the new engine and the core program do.

Multi-threading allows making use of multiple cores for processing. Not all features in GIMP make use of that, it’s something we intend to work on further. A point of interest is that multi-threading happens through GEGL processing, but also in core GIMP itself, for instance to separate painting from display code.

I'm human and I prefer communist, I also accept leftcom just to not be associated with ML.

The meme is that leftcoms are armchair socialist, that do nothing but Critique actually existing socialism.

Leftcommunism is a historical term applied to members of the second international that stood left of the Soviet center. They were characterize mostly by opposition of Parlimentarism, Critique of the Soviet Union and other things that I forget.

Now, it's a meaningless term with the death of workers movement and the fall of the Soviet Union.

In the internet, they usually have meme/scapegoat status by ML(M) for critiquing their ideology while actually reading/quoting Marx.

Thanks, I won't make any changes in policy. Only the theme, it's an eyesore.

The other day I was playing ranked in Splatoon when tower control was on. All nice and good until I see my teammates weapons. The were two snipers on my team, meaning offensive (which I suck at) was going to fall on me.

I resign myself to get a majority early and fight to keep it. But things simply couldn't be more different. We had awesome synergy, the snipers were amazing at keeping everyone at bay. We even managed a KO, such is rarely happens in that stage.

Those are effects or corollaries to capitalism.

The opposite really, capitalism cannot exist without them. Exploitation and subjugation are needed for it to function and expand.

What you describe is exchange, and exchange is not a market. In a market, things are produced exclusively​ for exchange not for use.

What I'm fighting against? Everything, for the abolition of the current state of things.

Oh, and read Marx's Capital to understand why I mean when I say capitalism.

I say because individual action is meaningless and inconsiquentional. Lasting success can only be achieve by a group of individuals.

More personally, in too old to go around trying to get rad cred. I have a family to maintain and a job to keep. Over here things can be very Draconian, we're requested a crime record for everything and traffic ticket gets you an automatic travel ban. So unless things really require it, I wouldn't risk it. And the people calling for action usually have a very strict no vandalism rule, so protests are mostly walking down a route and nothing more.

Unless you're willing to read Hegel, and Marx and Engels' influence from it, it's not really necessary.

It may get you a better idea of Marx's thought process in his writings but it's not needed to understand them. And it's specially unnecessary when discussing the communist movement.

This month I forgot to save money for rent, I spent it on food and a few modest nights out to celebrate my wive's birthday. Even after my full payday, I will be missing a fourth of the rent. Oh, and I'm out of food.

no one seems willing to sacrfice their own lives to achieve their goals.

Before answering, I would like you to expand what do you mean by this.

Yesterday I saw a borrowing owl early morning in a University's campus outside its nest. A security guard told me that he saw the hatchlings basking earlier too but the mother call them in just as he was to take a photo. I only saw one of the adults, couldn't manage a photo either.
