It’s not bad, but it’s not really good either. Sure, mayo has proteins from the eggs, but it also has a lot of fat (oil), so… some lettuce or a tomato would be nice, not just water 😒. He freaking loves water, you have to have a water bottle with you at all times. That is good, I know, but you can’t replace veggies with water.
Me, mom resisted cooking when possible and understood she was bad at it. Eventually my sister and I became better cooks but by then the family fell apart and the parents couldn’t sit together for a whole dinner peacefully every night.
You’re correct here, though It’s hard to take you seriously when you don’t understand what communism even is lol
Bummer, you just deleted your post where you clearly indicate a lack of understanding of communism. Your lack of accountability would siyt a communist system so it’s starting to make sense to me
Bro, you think the government controls the means of production in communism. Where do you get the audacity to claim anybody else doesn’t know what they’re talking about? 😂
I know I’m wasting words with this, but genuinely, read some theory.
Interesting that you think it doesn’t. I suppose that’s why you support it. That is the textbook definition- you know, those things you’re supposed to be reading?
Communism (from Latin communis, ‘common, universal’) is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement, whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society based on need.
It’s tough to get past the first paragraph, so I understand. If you had continued reading you’d understand that this common ownership needs to be enacted by the State. I’ll wait while that sinks in.
I would agree Mr PP Boy, but my self proclaimed communist friend from childhood loved Stalin. And last I ran into him he was reading Maos theory. Guy was 27 years old at that point too.
So for those of us following along at home, you know a guy who believes a thing, therefore you have applied that belief to all people who proclaim to believe a different thing?
And his friends. And the people in the Marxist Leninist instances here.
Also, another really smart dude I talk to regularlu, he says he would consider himself a Marxists. Probably not a Tankie, but still says stupid shit saying that the war un Ukraine is the US fault and its a result of NATO expansionist. Which is wrong for so many reasons. And his grandma was a communist China apologist.
Communism is stupid, and the people that follow it are dogmatic and have no pragmatic basis for their “theory” other than their feelings. If it offends go cry about it.
Or apparently not replying at all, in this case. My favorite is the Jordan Peterson response, though: “I had over 6 months to prepare for a debate on this topic after decades of claiming to be an expert and showed up to admit I could only be bothered to read his manifesto”
Not fond of them either, and I’m a white people too. It’s probably because we’re not working hard enough that we’re constantly miserable. So work harder, ok? That’s our identity, our cultural history, what we and nobody else do the best, because we’re so strong.
It’s not like all our cultural history has been homogenised through the imperialism of capitalism. Absolutely not. I love rebuying crap all the time for the sake of yearly money making events. It’s great! I don’t need to learn how to make things, despite it being critical to personal and local cultural development. Definitely not soul crushing at all. I absolutely love it. Being fed through an exploitative machine that spits me out every day. It’s the best.
Especially looking at other white people, with their dead eyes, living in little boxes, little boxes, sacrificing all their individuality to freight kids too and fro, the women getting the worst of it once more, having to live half their life in the goddamn car, perhaps meeting with relatives maybe once a year, like some reunion with people you don’t know anymore so you can “catch up”, eventually leading to the the kids feeling isolated so that they can one day be chewed up and spit out by the same very same machine. It’s the circle of the nuclear family.
It’s just the bees knees. Definetly not creepy at all. It might sound like the makings of a bland dystopia, but it’s growth… and growth is important… just not personal growth. You gotta be rich for that. Eat, pray, love. Remain beige. Remain nondescript. Be culturally incognito.
90s mascots were so random. Like why an owl with a graduation hat? He just graduated, so now he is wise, and can offer insight into lollipop licking? Was that his major?
“Until the second half of the twentieth century, mortarboards were often worn by schoolteachers, and the hat remains an icon of the teaching profession.” [source]
So they weren’t saying that he just graduated, they were saying that he was learned (the tortoise even says, “he is the wisest of us all”).
That’s how it used to be. You asked questions to people who were believed to be wise, and then their answer was what the truth was. And most of the things we “knew” were just wrong.
Work is pretty much the same, but depending on your job it can be way worse, or actually not that bad. I’ve had both.
Started off in a repetitive job with highly demanding monthly targets that we’d need to hit to get our full bonus (which was a significant part of total comp, salary was low as hell). It was an endless cycle of “X more days until Friday”.
I transitioned into software engineering. Ya know what? Occasionally I was EXCITED for the next work week. It’s still work and it’s hella stressful and sometimes you wish you could take the next 5 years off and have no obligations. But a lot of the time, you’re not actively waiting for the weekend anymore. Helps that my commute before I transitioned fully to home office was a 12 minute walk and I had after-work activities on weekdays to be excited for.
School for me was living hell for 5 days a week, working for me is alright and at least i also have money to use in my free time. Which I have less of of course, but even if school hadn’t been hell I’d never want to go back.
Which is to say, if anyones reading this who’s still in school and is getting discouraged from people saying working is worse, don’t be. It’s very subjective and depends on your job too. If school feels like torture, work will probably be an improvement.
Honestly the worst thing about school were the other kids. Everybody are little psychopaths and are utterly ruthless. At work everybody just wants to get paid and no one really gives a shit about other’s business (YMMV though).
Also there’s no homework, which is a godsend as somebody with ADHD. Just show up, work your little butt off and go home, nice and simple.
Yep, the other kids traumatized me for life lol. And they didn’t even hate me or anything, as I found out by them becoming generally fine to interact with in like 11th grade when they were 17+.
The homework I was thankfully able to just flat out ignore. But that along staying up way too long and as such struggling to stay awake in class lead to friction with teachers, so once the other kids weren’t a problem anymore, it was instead the classes themselves. Which were also just mostly very boring and very slow, and I’m suspecting I also have adhd.
