I don't know your exact circumstances so I won't assume anything, but rather make a general statement. Behind the scenes administrative and clerical work is just as important as front facing public outreach. Manual labor is also necessary for many things both above and below ground to get done, and so never feel ashamed about it. The phrase "by each according to his ability" applies very well to us neurodiverse folks- we can find roles that we are good at if we are given half a chance

What liberals fundamentally fail to grasp is that no amount of appeasement of the "center right" will be enough. No amount of Joe Biden murderous reactionary border enforcement or unabashed collaboration in the zionist genocide will be enough for the reactionary forces. The liberals cede ground for nothing, throwing away the lives of those they see as subhuman anyway, and the reactionaries just adjust their positions to be even worse and continue braying for blood as if nothing happened.

Bold of you to assume that Ronald Reagan was still able to process and learn new information.

I love that the uses a bunch of terms they invented, without defining then, really adds to the incomprehensible screed thing.

Lol at Paleo transfeminism

It would take a miracle to last that long in cold water with no wetsuit though

According to the article someone else linked, they do a lot of both their own ships and contracted ships

As of December 2023, Maersk owned 310 ships and was chartering 362

International shipping is generally done through at least 2-3 layers of shell companies to thoroughly distribute any risk of consequences for continuous disregard for safety and labor standards

This particular fight was for sport- our beef is mostly joking.

I had never done this before, but we chose this mode to reduce concussion risk as you said. I would say that it worked, as compared to any form of gloved sparring or fighting we both took far less impacts to the head.

The two issues are finger injuries from punching and lacerations, especially on the face. Hang wraps and careful observance of good form reduce the risks of the first one, the second just requires even more care than usual with regards to hygiene and making sure nothing gets infected.

It is true, a lot of "green energy" projects are transparently massively ecologically destructive grifts, but also, most animal agriculture looks more like massive sheds pumping out millions of gallons of toxic waste

 

Feeling pretty good afterwards. AMA

 
 

My nephew (16, Italian Catholic) and his girlfriend (17, Jew) were at my house when they got into a bizarre argument, the exact causes of which I could not ascertain. She called him a "filthy papist bastard" and a "person of pasta" he replied with something about her still falling over herself for "dago cock" and called her a "fucking red sea pedestrian"

Unsure how to proceed, would teaching them about the 1929 Atlantic City conference and the national crime syndicate be a good way to inspire them to bridge their divide?

 
 

At last

 

I would have to go with turnips. Incredibly versatile and nutritious root, plus delicious greens to fry up

 
 

Apologies in advance for the rant, I just don't understand how my brain works and I need to get this off my chest a bit In the last couple of years, I have generally only gotten good sleep under two circumstances. When I am severely intoxicated or when I have done a genuinely massive amount of exertion such as a full day of hiking with pack or genuinely backbreaking manual labor.

The first I have cut back on significantly, because I an pretty sure getting blackout drunk that often is not healthy long term.

The second is somewhat more sustainable but not really- I work in a specialized field of construction rn, which requires some physical exertion, though not nearly as much as some of my previous less "skilled" work, which generally payed like shit. So i don't fully get my energy out the way I used to, especially when I'm spending a significant portion of my work day driving from place to place. That's not even getting into the time I have off (my schedule often involves many short and intensive jobs which may involve being away from home, followed by significant periods at home not working).

It feels like it drives a wedge between me and my friends and sweethearts when I am still bouncing off the walls when they are all exhausted, when I have difficulty sitting still while watching a movie because my whole body feels like it's twitching, and when I to get out of bed and run in the middle of the night to help me get to sleep.

It was one thing in my twenties when I was energetic like this, I figured I should just enjoy it while I was young. Now I'm 36 and have a daughter. I feel like I'm crazy.

Again, sorry for the rant, I just needed to get this off my chest a little

Just reposting this excellent point from lemmygrad

 

"During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it." Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, The State and Revolution Link
