  • GFD Jonathan! I know it sucks! You could have read it already though and Ms. Virgilio wouldn't give us extra homework! GAAAAH! You always DO this! I wish I was never born! GAAAAAAAH!

    Ahh being a teenager again. Nah... I'm good. That shit sucked. XDXDXDXD

    Much love homey. No shade.

  • How do we get people to read theory?

  • "How do I get Christians to swear off the Bible?"

    Same shit. You don't. They're going to do what they do. You're going to do what you do.

    Nobody needs to "read theory," honestly. People naturally come to these conclusions when exposed to a system that isn't intentionally bleeding them to death. I cannot count the number of "right wingers" I have sat down and had beers with that absolutely agree with me on every single point right up until I use a scary word like "anarchism," or "socialism," or "communism." Then their brains shut down and they go directly into flight-or-fight mode. It doesn't matter though.

    It's not your job to "convert" people to leftism. It's not a fucking religion. Help people. Volunteer at kitchens. Volunteer at mutual aid networks. If there aren't food kitchens or mutual aid networks where you live, create them. You want people to be leftists? Show them why they should. This is not an impossible task. We do this all the time. Be the leftist you want to see in the world, and people will follow you. Sounds lame as fuck, but people are sheep. Give them something to flock to other than mindless consumerism.

    So... "turning its focus" on OpenAI, that buys all their shit from nVidia. OK cool. One step removed from Kevin Bacon. Still paying Kevin Bacon.

    WTF is even happening?! "This isn't a bubble!" Are you sure? Really? Are you sure?

  • I wish I wasn't. I wish my entire life wasn't based on essentially gambling. Get that job? Go to school? Get sick? "Choices" you make that can make or break you. Maybe it pays off, maybe you end up homeless. Who knows?! Works great for the people that have enormous cushions to live off of. Most of us are living paycheck to paycheck. We have no padding. Now they want to jack up our healthcare to even more unsustainable levels. It was already unsustainable and covered nothing. Now it will cost at least three times more and still cover nothing. "Best country on Earth." Sure, sure.

    Why are you even here, homey? You are literally a meme. You're drunk. Go home.

  • I'm not even trying to get people to read Marx or Graeber. I'm just trying to get people to read anything at all. It's not that they won't read theory. It's that they just refuse to read anything at all unless it comes through twitter or tik tok. They look at books like they're used band-aids. It's fucking wild to me.

    At this point I literally don't give a shit about "theory." Just read a fucking book!

  • I can't even with these motherfuckers anymore. It's a 67-page book in 18 point font, Jonathan! It'll take you like 45 minutes to read at most. You've spent more time complaining about it than it would have taken you to just read the fucking thing.

  • Dude as someone who uses a lot of dashes, fuck chatgpt

    Jump

  • Yes. I've been called a bot because I know the difference between a hyphen and a dash, and I know the esoteric arts of alt-numpad-ASCII and character map. Knowing how to write basic English and knowing the difference between a dash and an em-dash is apparently indicative of being a bot now. FML

    Also thank you for bracing that impressive dash with spaces. Only hyphens go full-contact.

  • One decent egg is around 33¢. One round of 5.56x45 is around 30¢. One round of 7.62x39 is around 48¢ (sorry Warsaw comrades.) Food is going to keep getting more and more expensive. The US is a country that prioritizes the production of ammunition over the production of food. Bullets are not going to keep getting more expensive. ATC is not getting paid. The military is not getting paid. How long until quartermasters start "losing" barrels of ammunition to the market to keep their family fed? Draw conclusions from that as you will. I am not suggesting or condoning anything actionable, but the circumstances as they factually are do not bode well for the ruling class given historical precedent.

    "Only [ x ] meals stand between the status quo and a revolution"

    —{an amalgamation of over a hundred years of variations on this same quote1}, 2025; where x is the untested, but certainly low and absolutely finite number of meals that prevent revolution.

    1 - Farthest traceable original variation is attributed to Alfred Henry Lewis in 1896:

    "Those of us who are well fed, well garmented and well ordered, ought not to forget that necessity makes frequently the root of crime. It is well for us to recollect that even in our own law-abiding, not to say virtuous cases, the only barrier between us and anarchy is the last nine meals we’ve had. It may be taken as axiomatic that a starving man is never a good citizen."

    1896 October 24, The Irish Standard, Murderous Hanna, Quote Page 8, Column 3, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

  • He could have been. I didn't think of the abbreviation. Amended short story: "[Thinking about all the paid PTO you'll get from being wounded in the line of duty, you] drive over to the ATM machine to deposit your paycheck. The simple life of a Department of DHS worm just doing ICE enforcement."

  • PIT maneuver a few random civilians into a sidewall for no reason. Arrest the occupants as they crawl out of the burning wreckage of their over-turned vehicle for non-compliance. Stub your toe getting back into your cruiser and issue an all-persons APB requesting medical assistance from the EMT techs for an officer down that then gets SMS serviced to every cellular customer within a 300 mile radius so they know how heroic you are. While you're waiting you whine to them over the radio demanding an estimated ETA because your toe really hurts and you need an ouchy-strip and you're hungry. Then drive over to the ATM machine to deposit your paycheck. The simple life of a Department of DHS worm just doing ICE enforcement.

    Bunch of ACAB bastards if you ask me.
