Honestly off to a bad start. I have to get up in 3.5hrs and I am not at all tired

The idea of spontaneously exploding anthills due to mass ant war is a very funny idea to me

Not yet

Surely the original timeline wasn’t worse than this?

Shirley temple was similarly abused by the movie industry and its disturbing how accepted it was

As god intended

I was a physics student for some time (got to quantum and realized it was not for me lol) and one of the smartest, most hardworking students I ever met was a 27 year old who had been in and out of rehab since he was 18. He is working on his masters now.

No but it could be far far worse

Get ready to have ads in your dreams folks

I enjoy the deprogram because it’s mostly lighthearted but the discussions generally revolve around radical politics. The members are an American communist propagandist, A Serb who experienced the destruction of Yugoslavia, and an Iraqi doctor who experienced being Iraqi in 2003. Its an interesting mix of perspectives and they are charismatic/entertaining people. They sometimes have guests on the show for when they want to discuss topics they don’t have experience with. Solid 8/10 podcast

Oh my god is that why I have been so gassy?!?! Are chickpeas known for that? I was fucking wondering.

It isn’t super fast because dried beans need to soak but buying beans and rice in bulk is huge. I also recommend making roasted chickpeas, I use a premade indian spice mix for chana masala on mine and it is delicious. Just soak, boil, coat in olive oil, season, and roast at 350-375 for 30-35 minutes. Tons of calories for very cheap and high protein. Only major drawback is that you can’t roast chickpeas in bulk because their texture changes significantly after cooling.

You don’t understand how much this hurts me

Establish or join mutual aid networks and learn practical skills like gardening, sewing, or mechanics. Ideally don’t live in a city (assuming total trade collapse)

Plenty of people before the cold war as well imo. The indian famines are a great example.

It should have been obvious that he was willingly in the pockets of the ultra wealthy. They crave immortality like an old chinese emporer with mercury poisoning.

Its an acutely exploitative labor relation that should be heavily regulated within a capitalist system in order to reduce the amount of abuse the people engaging in it experience. Ideally I want a system where no one feels a need to sell their body for a living. No one should be coerced into sexual relations.

Should I have?

He was first and foremost an opportunist. So, just like any american bourgeois.
