On the one hand, “think of how stupid the average person is. Then realize half of them are dumber than that.”
On the other hand, an educational system that was designed scientifically with data-driven best practices and not just what a bunch of fundamentalists in Texas think we should teach would also improve things greatly. As would, of course, strengthening the DoE and allocating DoD’s budget to education and infrastructure.
Understanding Marx’s ideas about alienation certainly influences my attitudes about AI but if youve got actual psychosis no ideology is a direct cure, you just need therapy
The Trek shitposting has been STRONG all day. Well done my fellow nerds, Qapla’!
There was that one with a dig at learning Klingon… which ive been doing for the past 5 months 😅 I’ll give em that one
100% and nobody would fault OP
Rip that shit down and ebay it
Married a brit can confirm
Dogpile ruled
Stoner/doom metal is honestly closer to progressive+hard rock than metal beyond sounding like early Sabbath
Ooh I can get it to pull wire for me! Fuck yeah
Raccoon wont lash out if youve got the gym badge silly
Ive been trying to convince my friends its the obvious choice, its got the tankiness of the possum and bonuses to crime
How old are you? Those were frequent in my teens and pretty well stopped after 18 or so. Dont worry.
Like what else is there to say lol
I don’t know what to do about that
Ive met tons of anarchists who had a firm grasp of anti-capitalism
If youre super green (no experience at all) they wont expect much. You wont need much for the first year other than being able to show up, listen to directions, and not hurt yourself or others.
A framing crew will expect you to have basic hand tools more than a general construction company would. One is teaching you a trade and the other just wants a laborer.
Being a good helper gets you started toward something better. A lead, a contractor, whatever. I work for myself now, and that is very achievable for anyone.
Ah I didn’t know! Im a latecomer to Soulsbornes haha
Also just get into anarchism instead. Anarchists are always sexy.
Correct
There were still problems with Lenin imo but im just an anarchist, we all got killed or gulag’d
You can… read Marx? Or find a podcast about him?
It’s economics, “boring” or “dry” kinda comes with the package
If you want sexy you can try Che Guevara or Max Stirner (lol good luck)
Do you mean Marxism-Leninism? Thats what most people mean when they say Marxism, but there are lots of us who appreciate Marx and disagree with the trajectory his namesake took.
Depends on the trade but tape measure and pencil+sharpie is standard. Framers will need hammer and speed square, electrician will need strippers, lineman pliers, etc.
Most stuff will be provided by whoever youre working with but you’ll be expected to invest in your tools periodically. If you have to borrow something twice, you should pick it up.
Also, good protective shoes. Im a big fan of my Keens.
I mean obviously I want my anarchist alternative but I dont see it anywhere, do you?
