  • Do you want to share something you've done in the previous week? Everything counts, nothing is too small.
    	I read 8 hours this week. Very happy with that.
    	
    Do you have any plans or goals for next week?
    	Game Development and start looking for a new job
    
    Do you have any streaks? For example, "sober for one day." Feel free to post your streak every day in this thread.
    	No yet, just thugging it out at the moment
    	
    If you don't have a continuous streak, did you manage to abstain from something for a day or more?
    	I'm staying away from sugar, I really want to get shredded by this time next year
    	
    Did you come across some useful information or resource that might help others?
    	Nothing insightful, I just want all the comrades and homies to reach their goals
    

  • That's the thing that always rustles my jimmies. Whenever the lowly ghouls of the media class or economists say "The economy is strong, we even have data to show it. The Kings, Lords, and Barons are wealthy why don't the surfs, slaves, and peasants say otherwise?", I got in to a rage. When you talk about averages and means in a society built on vast inequality, it's really easy for the numbers to skew upward. It's just really disgusting that media try to whitewash the average person's downward trajectory.




  • Especially when you are a dude, we aren't taught how to have good friendships

    I have been thinking about this a lot, particularly during the heights of COVID, but fellas aren't good at being good friends. We can certainly be good friends but I often feel like give each other too much space cause we all sort of figure "if something was up he'd talk to me". Which is often true, but you shouldn't need a reason to talk to your boyz, their your boyz. You like them and they like you so talk to them.


  • This generally lines up with capitalist profit-seeking making everything worse, more vapid and bland. I agree with him largely. Mainstream shit is dumber and dumber.

    Agreed. It's really a bummer that "The Arts" (movies specifically) are so totally captured by MEGACORPS and Capital Vampires. I love supporting independent arts (again specifically movies), but it's an ceaseless uphill battle for anyone those people to make it and even harder to get in front of people. Even if the people would like it, it's just so damn difficult to get your art in front of people if you're operating outside of the ever encroach domain of the modern Robber Barons.

    The whole game is fucked up, and it's fucked up because Hollywood (and of course Capitalism at large) made it that way. Art under capital sucks so much.



  • This week was pretty good. I had a pretty good. Keeping my room clean, keeping my diet on point, and staying active.

    I'm FINALLY reading "The Autobiography of Malcolm X", it's been on my "I'm a black dude and a leftist so I should read black leftist dude books" list forever. Trying to get more "theory" in my brain as well just reading more and listening to podcasts less. I'm trying to just read the books that shows, podcasts, and YouTube channels talk about rather than just hearing their sparknotes.

    I also made sure to call some of my homies. Just to say what's up, tap in with them, make sure they are all good (even if they aren't).

    I have very far to get to I do feel a building of forward momentum, I like that feeling.





  • I've been punching one in for them the last few times I was able. I don't even believe in voting, at least on a national level. It's easy to do where I live, so I do it for down ballot stuff.

    Same here, Howie Hawkins and Jill Stien were my picks in my last two elections I think. It sucks knowing that pretty much every leftist thinker ever has some form of "Real talk, voting is kinda wack bro". However still i wish there were meaningful alternatives to "Our party will make your life worse and we are Red" and "Our party will make your life worse and we are Blue".





  • Been playing since the EA. One of the few games I'm 420% certain that early-access was necessary. The game has really evolved and improved with each iteration. Just glad to see it hit that 1.0 release and getting the love it rightly deserves. It's just classic good-ass video gaming. It's weird and wholly itself which is what I want more games to be. I love when a game is committed to whatever it's trying to be, and succeeds at it. Dread Disillusion to me feels like a video game version of TTRPG that never existed, and I mean in to be a good thing. It rules.

    It's crazy this dude is 78, dude look like he's in his mid-50s. This further proves my baseless though thoroughly scientific theory that it's not time that ages you, it's impurity of heart. If you're a good dude, you will remain healthy and hot for all your days. If you soul is free of the toxic venom of bigotry you will remain youthful.

    It's corny to say but it makes me think of EL-P on the RTJ4 album.

    Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group So when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too
