My mom send me the vote suggestion she got based on a quiz she did for the Dutch elections and it is a split between D66 (neolib) and the Green/Labour fusion and she said that for the Greens she didn't really support their 'radical' side.
Mother in Christ what radical side
Days without leftist infighting: 0. Dutch party Bij1 posted a video on Instagram about a cheese salesman and it got the vegans mad.
Now, as a vegan, I must say commies themselves like to stick their head in the sand on veganism as well.
Don't you just hate it when your mortality gets shoved into your face? I just noticed that my hairline has started to recede and my hair is starting to thin out on top. Its not a vanity thing, its just the reminder that my meat suit is starting to degrade and I can't get a new one.
One of the biggest reasons I work out tbh. Both my grandpa's died mid seventies so K always saw that as old. They were old for me when I was a child as well but they were actually like end of fifties / early sixties then. But they were like old grandpa's already, just sitting inside, having health issues and whatnot. Years of smoking, drinking and bad diet caught up to them.
Then I met my father in law some years ago who has since embarked on a four month bike journey to Northern Norway and is also currently renovating a cabin in Sweden all by himself. All at the age of 66.
My point is: even though we are mortal, we have the option to get the best out of it as possible. It might not stop a receding hairline or decreasing eyesight all together but it might be the reason you can still cycle thousands of kilometers when you are far above 60.
alternative lesson: Don't look in the mirror for more than a moment and you won't see death coming up behind you.
My hands are numb last night because I was carrying heavy load of laundry and assisting my grandmother to take a bath.
Hey, new to Lemmygrad, but if I have an account here, I can't post on hexbear, for example? Because I see some people with @hexbear.net posting here, but if I go there, I'm unable to. Or do I need to enable something somewhere?
You have to access the posts from Lemmygrad. You can use the "All" view, or visit specific communities (e.g. lemmygrad.ml/c/news@hexbear.net). You can also subscribe to communities and then use the "Subscribed" view.
I feel like my friend (one of my oldest and dearest both in general and in the city I live in) is making great and visible progress in his recovery from mental health and substance abuse problems, and I can't help but feel somewhat proud of myself too because I had been going through the same process a few years ago and have been helping him along with my own experiences of the same issues as a paraller and my experience in therapy on handling the emotional side of things as guide.
This same friend also agreed to join me and my partner tomorrow as our nation's president is coming to our city to gloat over his peasants to ask him about our nation's business with Israel, last time he was asked about this the journalist was stopped by his stooges and apprehended by cops on account of "seeming like a threat".
Also ngl, seeing how much Mamdami is pushing ahead in New York is giving me hope. Not hope of him like single-handedly bringing about the revolution, but more hope for humanity, you know. When a person can communicate the issues with capitalism clearly for the current audience none of the proletariat can disagree, even those with years of western propaganda over their eyes. And also seeing him stay resolute on issues, and not falling for the usual rhetorical traps that policians use there has been refreshing.
All in all life seems good despite everything that's going on.
You are a good friend
Thank you, I try my best. Not everyone gets the chance to go the same therapy I did, parts of which should really, really be in public school curriculum, and universally taught to parents to teach to their kids. But alas, it is not.
Anyone watching The Lowdown staring Ethan Hawk? Its really good. It constantly reminds me of The Big Lebowski. Probably one of the best shows I have watched in a while.
Watching Mearsheimer and Sachs on Glenn Diesen about “Spheres of Security”…Sachs saying he agrees with what Stalin wanted to do with Germany after WW2 and Mearsheimer saying Germany should have been broken up to pieces after WW1 made me chuckle. It’s like reading takes from Lemmygrad and Hexbear. 😄
Saw an ad for a funeral service and immediately thought they must be hedging their bets on an invasion of Venezuela happening and going very poorly.
Has there been any sort or post or anything regarding learning theory by
alternative means?
i.e. not reading. Listening or watching or even playing?
And is there any recommended way to
learn theory?
Like picking a physical book over an e-book because it's a more sensorial experience and helps you understand it better. (And would videogames work any better by the same logic?)
My question in both about effective learning methods, aswell as gaining a better understanding of it. And it could also encompass probably the habits aspect of reading
purposefully and consistently.
Which I believe is what is said on the general rules for independent study.
i havent see any post, but i think the usual methods of self study apply, for instance taking lots of notes, using study questions etc.
The best way to learn depends on the individual. Some people learn better by reading, others by listening. For some, alternative media like videos and games may be more effective (if anyone knows of any educational games for Marxist theory, let me know). The main thing I'd recommend is taking notes, regardless of the medium
Much as I hate Bluesky it was great for shitposting.
Shitposting on Mastodon just doesn't hit the same. It seems like nobody uses it which just feels odd after having like 5k followers on Bsky. Like I'm literally screaming into the void.
How are bulks moved in the imperial core? 25kg/50kg sacks i mean or is everything moved in big bags with machinery.
pallets, forklifts, palletjacks, etc
