Worker cooperatives prove the important but limited point that while capitalists need workers, workers don’t need capitalists. Most ‘employee-owned’ companies in the US and UK are mainly owned by the highest levels of management with some more buy-in for middle management. It’s typically done with some kind of vesting scheme that keeps junior employees on the hook for years.

These firms still exist firmly within a capitalist context and require workers to become their own exploiters.

Definitely not climate change you reactionary hog.

If you like your instance, you can keep it.

I think unfortunately you do need to have a lot of pre-emptory remarks prepared. The key things to cover are to establish your self-awareness and then discuss some of the triggers of your difficult behaviors and how you want others to feel empowered to address them.

This isn’t one-to-one with a cluster b disorder, but I struggle a lot with compulsively making mean comments. With new friends, I have a short speech explaining it, how I share my true thoughts, and encouraging them to directly speak to me if they feel upset or offended. Sadly, it doesn’t work all the time and more people bounce off sooner, but the people who do stay around it has been possible to build more secure and healthy friendships with.

It might be helpful to find a similar process for yourself.

my anxiety is too bad for video games anymore

See if it’s any reconstructionist congregations in your area. They tend to be more non-to-anti-zionist and more mystical in a beautiful way. If it isn’t any, Kol Tzedek in Philly and Tzedek in Chicago have a lot of virtual services.

I am in my femme bara era fr

Yeah lol. I’m still shrimpy but did 5 lbs more than I planned to on the bench press. Progression is easier since the dumbbells jumped 5 lb each which doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Yes it’s going to be on the concrete foundation. I will put down some rubber matting over plyboard so it’s not just straight hammering on the foundation but that should be another $50 or so.

lmao!

No need to be stinky, they’re just asking for advice. If you’re annoyed don’t respond, but why be rude?

I don’t doubt it’s more to be found but what aren’t you doing that you have the time to read Capital like 8 times? This seems like so much western ‘marxist’ ‘my part to play in the revolution is intellectual masturbation!!’ I have never heard of one of these guys taking meaningful risks in organizing or action.

I have been using the same $20 alcatel flip phone with little degradation in quality for 2 years sounds like a skill issue.

It’s to measure insulin response in diabetic people. Also it’s not plain, it’s pumpkin spice! :p

The goal is to give someone under monitoring a very large volume of sugar in a controlled environment and measure their body’s insulin response. This is particularly a test of Phase I insulin response when your body responds to sugar intake by releasing stored insulin as opposed to Phase II insulin response where your body secretes insulin as it is produced to bring down elevated blood sugar after the Phase I stores are depleted.

That said this is a nutty amount of sugar and I had no idea that they made them this large.

I love your style!

I wanted to buy $100 of bitcoin in HS and couldn’t figure out how. Would have been like $60,000,000 :ccc

I’ve only read the two, but I remember being skeeved out when I read it and feeling very validated when I read Galatea.

So it’s acceptable for Elselvier et al to milk academics blind? At the minimum, authors should not be charged.

I think Richard Powers is a sex weirdo who comes up with elaborate novel structures to contain his tulpa gf’s in. I was really put off by the woman in the last short story who goes from bimbo to sexy ghost. That felt prototypical for how he sees women. He also admits to stalking and creeping on one of his grad students in his autofiction Galatea 2.2. The short stories were beautiful but the novel itself felt poorly executed with a lot of cut plot threads.

Alright but look at how much they pay the authors. What other business pays ZERO dollars for their core product?
