Isn ' t that great when a mistake actually improves something ? <| sep |> We ' re going to buy a second car soon as necessitated by work , still going to buy it but I ' m cutting back what I ' m willing to spend significantly . On our income we could afford more but it just doesn ' t seem wise . <| sep |> Don ' t post shit on the internet if you don ' t want people to talk about how ugly and dumb your kid is then <| sep |> There ' s literally no info on his wellbeing though . He could be a vegetable or already relearning how to walk and talk for all we know . <| sep |> Uhm . what ? <| sep |> I ' m assuming no until I hear a yes . <| sep |> I ' m not Lenin ' s psychologist . Historically , their contribution was to dismantle every last vestige of anything even remotely resembling socialism in Russia . The amount of socialism they instituted afterwards was nil . Well then I can assure you that their commitment was largely sincere . The problem was that it was pretty much unworkable in practice . That ' s why Lenin initially instated the NEP and later on Stalin defended increasing wage differences between different types of worker . No doubt both well , maybe not Stalin believed that it would lead to something greater in the future . Later Soviet leaders made even greater concessions to keep the dream alive . However , as we all saw , the economy just degenerated into corruption and cargocult imitation of market economies . The promised end goal never came , not through lack of trying , but because it was quite simply too difficult a task .
