@Lussy@hexbear.net talked with my old neighbor who just got back to the island after a NYC trip and she was talking about how she hadn't eaten rice in a week. Asked her why she didn't try eating Chinese, sushi, Indian food, or anything that should've been available over there. "Nah, a mi no me gusta la comida rara" ??? Why even travel?

Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

"who are you" is so funny this show is so good
Damn, Michael Porter Jr. doing all that with one shoulder. It'd be cool if his politics weren't terrible.
I should've paid someone to build this fucking computer 
But if everything eventually turns out well I will feel very proud
What if General Zod was one of us?
Just a hexbear mod like some of us?
What if gen Z actually meant general Zod?
Every time there's police violence or overreach or corruption or just plain old harrasment, you hear the chorus "it's just a few bad apples." Mother fucker, what is the saying about a few bad apples in a bunch. Is it "a few bad apples does nothing to the bunch actually" do we keep a spoiled bunch. Why has did it enter as an idiom to say a few bad apples for thin blue line types when cops do something horrible

it is may 9 and stalin saved the world from fascism
Turned on the radio today like some freak and hear an ad for a hardware store 2 towns over, they selling guns now. I know it shouldn't be shocking living in 
where you can get one at walmart but it did phase me a bit.
depression/suicide/alcohol
I've thought of getting a gun before but money makes it not an option not to mention I worried if I ever get big sad that you know. I'm feeling fine now and trying my best to make a future instead of the passive living I used to do but old habits are hard to break. Been hard sober now for probably 2 maybe 3 years now, been trying to eat better and exercise consistently and I got some plans for the future if somewhat hazy. Idk thinking about the somewhat ease of firearms has put me in a mood.
I look forward to the collapse of this cursed land just sucks I have to live through it/my spite means I'm gonna enjoy seeing it burn.
Can't handle the smarm of the last Remember Shuffle episode. How is the movie-exclusive alliteration speech by V more "dumb guy's smart guy" coded than quoting Shakespeare? It's about the same. If anything, just quoting something else perceived as smart is the lazier way to do it.
I prefer the comic too, but V For Vendetta is better than 300, dudes.
Getting late early for Taillon
Iβm sorry for my last comment I just want to promote peace and love I was just ordering food in support of peace βοΈ Iβm very worried with the conflict
I love listening to your little piss-ant fascists trying to talk tough. They make me laugh. If Stalin were here, he'd laugh too.

14 years ago, I rented a 3 bedroom apartment for $700 a month π, I rented it just for myself. Didn't even have roommates.
Feels weird as I'm looking for places to rent today.

-Sees nice looking apartment at a reasonably priced rent
-Scheduling tour is relatively painless
-Get sent the application, which asks for rental offer
This is my first time seeing an application asking what you are offering to pay for rent. Considering the area and the amount of people that seem to be interested I have a feeling I'm going to be priced out of this one
Two can play that game. Put a big number then negotiate down before you sign.
They ended up canceling my appointment to view the apartment because so many applications were submitted.
Honestly, I'm just tired of how scummy the real estate market is. Aside from the fact that everything is overpriced, the brokers out here just straight up try to rob you blind for their own pay days.
I've toured apartments that I kinda liked and wanted to apply to only to have the broker ask for a huge deposit before even being approved.
This one, from one of the more well known and "respected" real estate brokerages, was pretty much a bait and switch. They listed one price, but pretty much auctioned of the apartment. For a rental...
I would imagine these practices have to draw complaints but all the local politicians are in the pockets of real estate.
Company is not renewing the enterprise license for some tool I have never used once. Might threaten to walk over it, mostly just bored.
If the democrats really wanted this to get weird they should run the pope for president. He's over 35 and born in the US
