  • Good on you honestly and if you have a migraine, you arent supposed to work.

    If I'd have to do any sort of Increasing Shareholder Value-type of work I'd do maximum absence. I had a lot more sick days when I worked for a small business tyrant with shitty benefits and shitty conditions as well.

  • The coffee won't be right if there are no coins on the hotplate.

  • When I'm sick or completely burnt out. But I am in a very lucky position where I can just email my manager that I am sick and they can sign off on it with a "ok" for the first 3 days, no doctors certificate needed. Sick leave is also 100% wages. Unionized public service.

    But on the other hand I am 100% responsible for my clients alone and if I'm sick, nobody does the work. Somebody might go without safe housing or other bad stuff could happen and I am responsible for my folks, nobody else even knows the situations. So I typically at least work from home no matter how sick I feel, did that last week.

    Also if I have to be on sick leave all the work is just waiting for me when I go back without enough time to do it. It just piles up and everything goes to shit.

    I get sick maybe once a year, sick days 1-3 per year. But I do remote days as much as I can to compensate for the drain. And I will not go spread disease to my clients no matter what so if I'd be asked to do that I'd have a lot more sick days.

  • Yeah me too. It worries me as someone who was a bigger kid like him that this attention will make possible bullying so much worse. Don't know what its like these days in schools, but I expect not much better than in the past.

    As a kid I was put into a local newspaper and in a small town the bullies got so annoyed about this positive attention that I was bullied for it for years after it happened and ridiculed about everything I said or stood for in the article, including the clothes I wore. I hope this kid has adults and friends in his life to mitigate stuff like this, the attention here is on an entirely different level.

  • Absolutely, had not thought of that. Checks out completely.

  • Haven't touched it since the SH shit came out.

    Also realized I mostly hated it long before this trying to do mythic raiding and live life. Not compatible with my audhd brain at all.

    It also started to get me down how the same farming addicted guild members spent most of their waking hours in the game, while their kids were growing up, partners moving out, world burning and all of it. Realized it's the kind of escapism I don't want in my life anymore, I'd rather read theory.

  • THE quote from Blackshirts and Reds gets read out loud.

  • Yeah same. Was harassed and bullied by this one girl for months, she'd follow me around and keep on pestering me about the way I look and am.

    One day, when she was following me around in the hallway and poking me, talking shit, blocking my way and all that I finally turned around and pushed her away from me. She fell on her ass and I was punished for my "violence". I touched her once. I was also made to apologize to her.

    I saw this person in a bar as a adult once, she came up to me asking for forgiveness for being a shitty person back then. I told her that it isn't my job to make her feel better about it and asked her to leave me alone.

  • Interestingly one of the eye opening DPRK moments for me was when my kid made me watch the BoyBoy "getting a hair cut in North Korea" video. It really made me realize how unserious all the propaganda is.

  • Yes he has, it's the route from witch I originally got rid of my DPRk brainworms via my kid long ago.

  • No but imagine if Trump was actually got. There would be the liberal condemnation of violence and theatre after with all the spectacle that can be spun up over such a "tragedy". What a farce it would be to witness.

    We'd get a teary eyed Obama or some other lib on the news saying how Trump was a statesman and how violence is wrong and all the classics.

  • Had a pretty depressing discussion with a tech bro just now that sort of went from him thinking that ai coding is now so good that ai agents will replace all work to him starting a weird little fight with me over violence and how he wants to choose non-violence.

    It was in a chat so I got sort of exhausted and sent him the thing about bourgeoius pacifism and he just came back with "if violence is what is needed either way I want no part of either". He seemingy read it, but it was way too fast, probably didn't read it or fed it to a llm. And came to all the wrong conclusions because he really did not get the substance of it at all.

    He finished by declaring that on this we are completely on opposite sides.

    This guy has never read theory. Probably never will. He thinks he knows it all just by sort of vibing with leftist ideas. His idealism and white man brainworms fail him all the time. The nihilism really gets me down sometimes.

    But thankfully my illness seems to be getting better today.

  • This is the way. My son got me to watch Hasan years ago. It had a domino effect.

  • Misha ❤ This guy was also a plushie and made into other toys and a porcelain figure, was going to buy one for my kid for Christmas. You can still find these in the second hand market here.

  • No. I read this book by an old communist who did all the work possible before, during and after our local civil war. She had been through imprisonment and the works. Kept study groups all the way to the age of 75.

    She stated that even though revolution was not won in her lifetime she is content and assured that the work for a better tomorrow continues and will continue as long as it takes.

    She said:

    Sosialismi on niin suuri aate, ettei se toteudu minun elinaikanani, eikä lastenikaan. Mutta sen puolesta kannattaa tehdä työtä ja pienetkin saavutukset ovat tärkeitä.

    Translation: Socialism is such a big project that it won't come to pass in my lifetime, or in the lifetime of my children. But it's worth working/laboring for. Even small acts count.

    My take away from it is that this is a process and she understood that. Nobody knows how long it takes or how many times it fails or if it succeeds. If we read Marx though we know it is inevitable. Things are always in motion and will continue to be.

  • This is amazing. I don't have the bandwith for this this year, but I hope you post again next year and then I can participate. This is something I've always wanted to learn.

  • I'm so sick.😭 Had relatives over, the same ones that got me sick the last time, in 2023. Haven't been sick since, but they always seem to deliver in their endless choice of living like its 2019 and consenting for illness for everyone they supposedly care about. Famously they gave us covid in 2023 that led to diabetes for my partner. They got him sick once in between here too, it's been fucking great.

    So stressed with my work and studies, I'm the busiest and most stressed I've been in years and I needed the weekend to write, but here I am. Feels like my lungs are trying to jump out of my chest, I literally almost pee myself a bit the cough is just so violent. I have accumulated a whole trash bag of used tissues today. Make it stop omg.

    Hoping my partner does not get this. He spent time with them too but is ok so far. We are in different rooms and I'm just so worried he gets this. And I am worried this is covid again and now that I am so stressed all my longcovid stuff will come back and life goes to shit. I can't afford that, I am the only wage earner and if I fall, we fall.
