My brother is joining the marines, and idk how to interact with him about it. He’s in bootcamp and my parents want me to write and support him but like… I hate what he’s doing, idk what to say.

I know that downvoting makes me a lib of the Nth kind, but does it count if I’m downvoting warmongering libs?

Last time i went to the beach, i went for a walk around 3 AM while there was a full moon - it was like I’d stepped into an alternate dimension where i was the only person alive, even the beach cops had stopped patrolling. I wish i could slip into full-moon night-beach world on-demand.

Yeah he didn’t get hit at all thankfully

Nah, we just need to remove all those pesky “regulations” impeding the free market. Once we so that, the invisible hand of the market will pummel the price of the big mac into the ground

Their last upload was 9 hours ago, has something changed since then?

Damn thats awesome dude, everything I’ve heard about applying for disability sounds nightmarish. Hang in there comrade

If you want to learn rhythm you could always pick up some drumsticks and a practice pad and practice some basic rudiments and techniques. Bass Guitar is also pretty nice for this, I found it pretty easy to at least pick up and play, but it challenges my rhythm abilities a lot. I think they best strategy for any instrument is to learn to count rhythm, and play with a metronome as much as possible

Similar boat. Went on a weekend trip with some friends, as soon as we get back last night one of them tests positive for covid. I haven’t gotten it at all yet, so im hoping this isn’t the time it finally gets me.

Getting really sick of the transit situation in my area. My partner will never be able to drive, so we either need to live close to her job, or i need to drive her (I WFH, so its doable, but I cant reliably guarantee my availability). But even when applying for jobs, they’ll ask shit like “do you have a license” and turn you away for saying no on the grounds that you need reliable work transport. When i talk to locals about public transit, the sentiment is that it’s either not doable because we “Aren’t New York” or that “nobody wants it.”. I suppose we could move to a city with transit, but they’re all significantly more expensive to live in.

Idk I’m just venting. My partner is job searching and only finding hybrid jobs in other cities. Anyone else living in Amerikkka manage to get by w/o a car or license? How do you get around when there’s limited transport/sidewalks besides risking life and limb biking on the road?

I condemn Hummus

Honestly it hasn’t impressed me yet, but maybe i just haven’t had good hummus

Wait isn’t that the plan? My private line to our Chinese HQ has been blowing up with Xi Jinping repeating “Mobilize the pigs” ad nauseum.

I stand corrected - I must begin studying the spear.

They are disarming the proletariat because they know how hard we have all been studying the blade. The sword is the true worker’s symbol of liberation. Only a multi-thousand-times folded blade can cleanly slice through the chains of oppression.

I only vote for candidates that I know will lose

I think Redditors would be full mask-off if their usernames were anonymous like on 4chan. Not all that different, but Reddit feels more “Polite” than 4chan.

This will repeat yearly until Communism is achieved

Im gonna be reciting this shit from memory when the revolution finally comes to the imperial core lmfao

US right-wing politics has a real 4chan vibe to it these days, it’s been weird to watch 4chan ideas and vernacular become mainstream

I appreciate the response - I understand what you are saying. I do want to clarify that I’m not trying to argue from an arbitrary moral/idpol perspective. In the article in the linked thread, they interviewed a person who is a part of the Navajo nation, who argues explicitly against the consumption of Mescaline for outsiders, synthetic or not.

“How would Christians feel if Jesus Christ was cloned?” asked Justin Jones, a Diné peyote practitioner and legal counsel for the Native American church of North America, a non-profit organization that advocates for more than 300,000 members. “And while the real Jesus is protected, people could do whatever they wanted to the clone.”

Creating synthetic mescaline in a lab or growing peyote in a greenhouse is a violation of natural law, and interrupts the unique symbiotic relationship with the plant. “What western scientists call mescaline is for us the essence of the medicine,” said Jones. “It is the soul of it and what makes it holy.”

If I am understanding you correctly - that would shift this from being a purely value-neutral form of appropriation, to being actively harmful and disrespectful.
