I’m still dealing with the consequences of burnout almost 5 years later, so yeah, I go heavily on the “life” side of work-life balance now.

Burnout can have serious, long-lasting mental and physical health effects. Killing myself for most of my 20s in the name of “getting experience” and “making money” was definitely not worth it, especially because now I don’t know how to work without falling into unhealthy patterns.

It’s a self-sustaining business model for the cruise company, I’ll give them that.

If it’s bad rhymes, then Pitbull has this person beat.

Idk what song you’re referring to, but I just remembered “Turnin’ Japanese” and how fucking gross it is.

Little drummer boy isn’t as bad as some other spanish folk Christmas songs

Yeah, it’s all neoplatonism (thank you Augustine)

Thesis: island boys

Antithesis: landlocked boys

Synthesis: peninsula boys

(I have no idea who the island boys are)

This has serious Kraftwerk compilation CD vibes

I guess I gotta stock up on non perishable groceries, just in case.

Esto es en la casa rosada? No es que me guste la opulencia de la clase dominante, pero esto parece la decoración de un salón de ceremonias donde hacen quinceañeras de mala calidad.

Like a pita bread smeared with too much tzatziki

I can’t blame you, they’ve been irrelevant for almost 20 years now. Back when they were big, they were well known for putting up these hugely expensive, elaborate, high-concept live shows, that really pushed the limits of what people thought a concert could be.

But now, they’re creatively spent, and just use expensive gimmicks to justify the crazy prices their mostly Gen X audience can afford to pay for their shows.

No, it’s perfect. It’s the archetypical band whose live performances are bombastic and completely superfluous (therefore wasteful), in the dumbest, most unnecessary venue possible.

I think non-imperialism doesn’t necessarily mean production autarky, that’s more of a mercantilist/localist perspective, which isn’t necessary for a Marxist economy to flourish.

Trade can, and I could argue should exist between socialist projects, in order to make the working class conditions better everywhere in the world. The biggest question there, is how to do trade differently than the way it’s been for the past 300 years, that is, how it can be set up such that it’s not an unequal exchange of material and embodied labor.

And most importantly (to me), how does this kind of trade it not perpetuate colonialist tendencies that even other AES states have demonstrated in the past, taking local communities’ free and informed consent seriously, even if we “need” the resources in their land, as is the case with many indigenous peoples and small communities, and renewables.

If anything, the fact that he didn’t play often and now just started again is going to make Trump like him less lol. He likes when people kiss up to him, but he hates people who are too obvious about it.

This person reinvented the reformation, (shitty) printing press and all.

Meat simulator or whatever their name is is one of the best creators out there in my opinion. Really great presentation and content.

Such a banger. I have a soft spot for the Frente! Cover, too, even it’s a bit sappy.

Kill la kill, the anime famously bereft of any homoeroticism
