Fwiw, that is nowhere near $10 worth of candy. You can get 5x that much for $8.54 on Amazon

My parents constantly fucking brag about how they've saved enough to take out $6000 a month to live on in their retirement - this on top of their THREE FUCKING PROPERTIES. Like, glad you got yours, thanks for denying Climate Change and voting Conservative - me and your grandkids are fucked, but enjoy your boat!

Meanwhile, my Retirement Plan is the total collapse of society.

Conclusion: Burn It Down. God, I want to read this now. In the meantime, there's always The Burnout Society (everyone should read it).

I highly recommend the book Better Never to Have Been: The Harm Of Coming Into Existence, by the philosopher David Benatar.

Buy a domain, this isn't hard, https://domains.google/ and then put up a BS but valid looking website using whatever floats your boat, Google has cheap services if I remember right, but there are plenty of options youtube tutorials can guide you through.

Make your art gig into a "real" business, once it's all in order, that business will look good on a resume to most, some will see through it, especially if you don't take care to make it look like a viable place to commission art; done right, it'll work.

Whatever you choose to do, good luck!

"24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep explores some of the ruinous consequences of the expanding non-stop processes of twenty-first-century capitalism. The marketplace now operates through every hour of the clock, pushing us into constant activity and eroding forms of community and political expression, damaging the fabric of everyday life.

Jonathan Crary examines how this interminable non-time blurs any separation between an intensified, ubiquitous consumerism and emerging strategies of control and surveillance. He describes the ongoing management of individual attentiveness and the impairment of perception within the compulsory routines of contemporary technological culture. At the same time, he shows that human sleep, as a restorative withdrawal that is intrinsically incompatible with 24/7 capitalism, points to other more formidable and collective refusals of world-destroying patterns of growth and accumulation."

Read Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein if you have time. We just spent 2 trillion dollars over the last 20 years in the Middle East and you are wondering why we don't have a better health care system or free college tuition?

I think workplaces shouldn't exist. By that I mean the workplace as a political entity, as a tiny dictatorship with a CEO/capitalist ruling their ~~citizens~~ employees.

What has made me suicidal is not any specific workplace, but living in a world where going from place to place to beg for an opportunity to sell my time is considered 'freedom'. It's not something we can make workplaces accountable for, it's an antagonism that can only resolve in the abolition of the workplace.

Man, I love Nietzsche. This has been on my bookshelf for a while now, I think I might start reading it now.

And a note for those who are unfamiliar with Nietzsche: he is a famous philosopher who has gotten a bad rap because the Nazi's cherry-picked his thoughts out of context and then used that as intellectual justification. You have to be very careful reading Nietzsche out of context. The style of his argumentation means that you have to read his books in their entirety, otherwise there is a high likelihood for misrepresentation. Anyone interested in reading Nietzsche for the first time should start with this book.

My preference was tunneling via port 443, using an OpenVPN server I setup on Digital Ocean for $5/mo. It was fun and useful, but eventually I just subscribed to NordVPN. So far it's been good, but I might switch to Proton when my sub is up.

Here are some sites with free leftist literature. The common recommendations are Lenin's "state and revolution" and Kropotkin's "conquest of bread". Dont try to read Das Kapital as a starter, even tho its pretty much is the foundation of this whole thing, you will literally have a heart attack and die. Listen to the podcast "marx madness" about it instead, waaay easier

Look up into what anarchist-communism is actually about. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works I can also tell you that there are various anarchist differences, such as anti-civ or post-left. Basically you could see anarchism more as a tradition. The values every anarchism direction (except anarchist-capitalist, fuck that!) shares is: Mutual aid, Autonomy, no hierarchies, voluntary association, direct action, no reformism because only these with power make changes to forever have hold of that power, and self-liberation.

The book mentioned above also mentions various societies that were anti-authoritarian and how they managed to stay anti-authoritarian.

Now, there's also the post-left critique of specific anarchism such as anarchism-communism: https://raddle.me/wiki/postleft

I’m reading a great book about this: The Homework Myth by Alfie Kohn: Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing

> just as ignorant as the people you’re criticizing

never once did i criticize anywhere or claim it as “the way out” (idk why you quouted that, its nowhere in my comment) but okay pal. this might help you in the future. highly recommend you utilize it.

> It is amazing to me that economists and politicians and regular old people miss the fact that more than 50% of the jobs that are never going away are unpaid.

They don't miss it. This is a field of study in economics.

I recommend A Little History of Economics. It's an easy read that walks through economic thought throughout history.

It's an actual long-term problem. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_People%27s_Association_in_Manchuria got conquered. There are several ways. Post-left Anarchism for example thinks that there will never be the revolution. https://raddle.me/wiki/postleft

I guess anarchist-communist society would build up a temporary army like Rovaja does to defend itself against capitalism.

"Instead of approaching modern illnesses as personal pathologies that must be treated professionally and cured medically, we should recognize that the stresses of work-centered society have created situations in which it might, in fact, be maddening to be sane." David Frayne - The Refusal of Work

I'm in a different situation, but also not working. I've taken up baking my own bread, which is amazing, delicious, and frugal. I've become an avid cyclist, which gets me outside and exercised. Hiking, running, inline skating, et al achieve this as well. I've grounded myself in a meditation practice, which helps with my moods and perspective. I've taken over most of the household duties, because my SO is still working. So I do a lot of the cooking and cleaning. Pro tip: Maintenance cleaning is a lot easier, takes less time, and basically prevents ever having to do a deep clean. So I carve out thirty minutes a day to give things a once over. Other than that, I figure out what sounds interesting for the day and do it. Be it reading a book, watching a nature documentary, playing online poker, or taking a walk, I just sorta do whatever I want -- whatever sounds good.

Edit: I'd like to second u/AbolishWork 's suggestion of Meetup.com , I've used it several times and met a lot of great people

Well, there's the anarchist library, which has an incredible wealth of information.

There are also youtubers like zoe baker who explain it all pretty well. Zoe is amazing and makes everything very clear and easy to understand, i think she goes by anarchopac on YouTube. She also has some good stuff on feminism.

Mostly, though, you can see it based on what they do, who the do it to, and who they do it for.

Not really, as others have said its more about problem solving than anything else.

Learn basic Java or python so you have a grip on syntax and basic data structures, which really doesn't take very long, and then you can specialise in whatever you want.

Good practice to start coming up with simple problems and try to solve them. Like, take a string of text and determine if its a palindrome. If you look up interview coding puzzles you can try your hand at these, most of them aren't super challenging once you think about it.

Its more for web dev but The Odin Project is amazing for dipping your toes in.

Early medieval peasants did work less hours per year, but take a look at these stats by century.

I'd rather work an office job 1900 hours a year now than as a medieval serf 1620 hours a year. Yes, there's less hours total. But most of those hours are in the harvest months where you work 12+ hour days. Keep in mind many people couldn't do much during the winter months.

We are both arguing for the same outcome! Fisher’s key point is that we have to move through capitalism, by harnessing it’s levers of power to benefit society. It’s not meant to be pessimistic, but optimistic for what we can do with better-considered priorities.

I encourage you to look into the book I mentioned if you do feel strongly about this, because Fisher does a much better laying out the argument than I can in a Reddit comment!

I'm not convinced that it should be, at least not from an anarchist perspective. If politics really is "the art and science of government", or "the affairs of the cities", then maybe I don't want any of that.

Alejandro de Acosta put it well:

>I have always considered my inclination to anarchy to be irreducible to a politics. Anarchist commitments run deeper. They are more intimate, concerning supposedly personal or private matters; but they also overflow the instrumental realm of getting things done. Over time, I have shifted from thinking that anarchist commitments are more than a politics to thinking that they are something other than a politics. I continue to return to this latter formulation. It requires thinking things through, not just picking a team; it is more difficult to articulate and it is more troubling to our inherited common sense. I do not think I am alone in this. It has occurred to some of us to register this feeling of otherness by calling our anarchist commitments an ethics. It has also occurred to some of us to call these commitments anti-political.

The anti-political approach to anarchy is well-established.

All work is a social issue, a topic that can't be reduced to individual decisions. But I feel we're really not doing ourselves any favors by naturalizing the political framework.

Here is how it's phrased in the article:

> This idea that poor people are lazy and irresponsible is an inherited one and requires some historical learning (Chaim Waxman’s book “The Stigma of Poverty” is a good place to start). Briefly, this myth emerged in the 1300s in England and was then codified in the English Poor Laws of the 1800s.

Here is how you phrased it:

> This is a really mangled description of history. John Calvin lived in the 1500s. This article attributes a mysterious starting point in the 1300s then three words later skips ahead to the 1800s.

While I can't claim to know this well enough to be able to agree with your conclusion or formulate a concise and informed refutation, I can't help but notice that there's a source cited there for that claim.

Would you care to produce a similar citation to support your conclusion that the book - rather than the article, which merely cites it - is wrong in asserting that 1300s is indeed the period when this myth emerged?

People here don’t know what they’re talking about.

This is annoying, but doesn’t sound illegal or unethical.

Assuming this is a smaller mom and pop restaurant (or a chain that has to set up their own payments system), they are probably using a payment processed and paying 2.9% + 30 cents on each transaction. (See https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/6109-fees-and-payments-faqs and https://stripe.com/pricing). Larger companies can get lower rates, but they either need to pay a large upfront cost to set up their own rails, or negotiate with payment processing companies (both of which aren’t usually feasible until you’re making 100s of millions of dollars in revenue).

This means that your employer is probably not stealing your tips for themselves, but is just charging you the processing fee directly (and using that to pay the card network directly). If they didn’t charge this, they would be indirectly paying you 3% extra on your tip (e.g. if you made a $100 tip, they would contribute $3). This is of course assuming that you aren’t paying the 3% on the total bill, and only the tips, that you are in the us, and that this fee only applies for credit card payments.

I think most restaurants eat this cost since it’s pretty minimal (for the restaurant), and probably causes more hassle in employee frustration than the processing cost. They’re kind of being cheap with you, but as long as there aren’t any other flags it’s probably fine.

Also, ideally they should be charging you 2.9% and not 3% (or whatever they’re being charged by the cc company) but I imagine .1% isn’t meaningful and they rounded for simplicity.

I am very pro the anti work movement (and generally pro simple loving/low spending), but please be careful with the advice on here since people seem to bring out the pitchforks really fast. If the pay is good and they treat you well, this is not a reason to quit or try to sue.

(Source: I work at a payment processing company)

Do it! Something I have found really helpful is having a small personal project you want to bring to life and then working out how to get it done. For example, I decided to make a discord chat bot and learned so much in the process.

Free Code Camp is a decent resource I have used. There are tons of others (probably many that are better), not to mention the endless resources on youtube.

Good luck and happy coding!

It's writing web "apps" (pretty much more interactive websites). Usually after learning the things I listed above, you'll learn a framework (React is a popular one) that makes building fancy interactive sites faster and easier. Usually includes building desktop and mobile versions of sites, making them compatible across different browsers, maybe some design work (but that's usually left to designers), and eventually some server-side programming and database stuff (but you can totally get roles that are front-end, HTML+CSS+JS only).

Demand is pretty high right now. Most people don't stick with web development long-term and prefer to move into more specialized programming, but you totally can just stay in web dev. I prefer it because I suck at math and it's not heavy on that.

I do have some modicum of disdain for people that don't want to work smarter. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with someone that doesn't know or see something a certain way, but if what they are doing is way less efficient or more dangerous and they refuse to even try another way, that's when I decide they are a true moron. We're all ignorant in one way or another, but stupidity is a choice to stay ignorant.

PYou read that article about "omniviolence" too? I nearly shit my pants reading that. Hundreds of thousands of 1 inch drones with a 1 gram charge. It'd only take 3 people to program the code to kill thousands from anywhere in the world.

I missed the part of reading music, check this out for basics https://www.musictheory.net/lessons

You can combine this with the "ear training" part, and for example try to write down a simple melody from a song you like in notes, so you have that "2-directional" thing

And I highly recommend just falling into the rabbit hole of music theory youtube. Not all of it will make sense, but you'll just sort of pick up stuff as you go along and start piecing the puzzle together. Adam Neely and 12tone are the first that come to my head

For writing this is where all this thinking about music will both start giving you ideas, and give you the tools to "make them concrete". You can use words or sheet music to describe the things you're able to hum or play on your instrument, and you have some vague idea of "what goes well with this" to turn fragments into a full song

Another cool thing: if you use a sheet music program like musescore you can listen to what you just wrote, which is a great way to see if what you write on paper lines up with what you heard in your head

>Anarchy is above all a practice, not a theory. It is about actively working to end authoritarian relationships wherever they exist, and build non-authoritarian alternatives. It is not about trying to prescribe a way of life for an imagined place and time, and imagined people. It is for real people and dealing with real problems.
>
>Anarchy is a living and breathing praxis that we incorporate into our everyday lives. A personal stance against authority that informs all our decisions and thus shapes the trajectory of our existence.
>
>There is no end-goal to anarchy. It is an ongoing fight against hierarchical systems and the authority figures that construct them.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I don't think it comes off as insulting or humble bragging at all. I think something important you can do with a chance like this is just (cliche' incoming!) seize the moment. Try to find out what you love. Enjoy the outdoor? Go hiking! Always wanted to get into coding? There's online stuff for that.

Try to look on Youtube and elsewhere for some skills you can develop. Think about creative and "productive" art like music, crochet, arts and crafts, or whatever else you might be into. Take up some martial arts classes or join a local community group for sports. Maybe look on Meetup.com for some easy groups to find.

Hopefully some of this was helpful!

>The few who make it out (it won’t be you or me) aren’t really going to be in a position to automate all labor and create a post-scarcity society, will they?

Won't they? Do you have any inkling of an idea of just how much waste this society produces? And we record everything in books. A pocket reference, a bag of tools and landfills full of scrap steel and various motors gives anyone that gets to the other side everything they need to rebuild.

But you're being alarmist. The center is already falling apart and the parts that are holding steady are actually doing their part to mitigate disaster. There are more people attempting alternative means than ever before. One more economic collapse and the biggest climate offenders will find it impossible to avoid nationalization. They already can't remain solvent without government funds.

Given, a few governments will have to fall before we're in the clear, but we're getting there.

I recommend reading "The Sum of Us" which covers in great detail how a bunch of public good projects were derailed by racism: public pools, labor movement, and even more. It closes with suggestions on how we can dismantle many structural issues by working together.

Railroaders were the prototypical union in America, at a time when the railroad itself was the hot technology. It got that way because of the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, when Hayes had to send in the United States Marine Corps to Camden Yards, Baltimore to free the Maryland National Guard. This was at a time when your average steel mill had 80 employees and was run by a few, local people.

Railroads also had the telegraph, the importance of which we can barely comprehend in today's world: when one silk mill burns in a riot somewhere, the news didn't really travel to workers in other mills. When the shit went down in Batimore, it sparked a whole summer of choas, summed up best in this book:

Citation needed: who has tried this? Under what circumstances? What did they do right and what can we learn from what they did wrong?

Mao's Great famine by Frank Dikotter

It goes over the role of the black market during The Great Leap Forward. It has been over a year since I read it and can't give you the exact page # or chapter, but it does dedicate a decent portion to how the black market proved to be a prominent fixture in Chinese life despite the Communist Party outlawing unregulated trade.

The second economy of the Soviet Union can be glossed over here.

AprikaLife organic matcha green tea powder is probably the best culinary grade matcha I've used so far. I get the culinary grade because it's cheaper and the quality for this brand is great for the price as it's more green than others I've used, even beating some latte grade powder. They have a ceremonial grade that I've yet to use, but that's $113 for 1.1 lb while the culinary grade is $77 per 1.1 lb.

Another I recommend is JadeLeaf matcha. It's pricey but the barista edition is great though I've haven't tried the ceremonial one.

Accommodation requests for private office are incredibly common for neurodivergent employees. Unfortunately, it's not always possible based on the constraints of the building, so it can be denied. In those cases, I've seen people get things like cubicle dividers, moving their desk away from foot traffic, noise cancelling headphones, privacy shields to reduce visual distractions, etc.

I helped a client who requested an accommodation of a quiet room and her accommodation team denied it because there just wasn't a space for it. We found that her leadership team was interested in supporting neurodiversity so she went to them and pointed out how everyone could benefit from having a quiet space in the building. They ended up creating a 'quiet cafe' where people could go to work in silence and comfort.

It's an example of curb cuts and how everyone benefits from universal design. I still think her original accommodation request should have been considered differently though!

Have you ever tried Albanese gummy bears? These are my favorite, they are slightly less rubbery than Haribo, and the flavors on the ultimate pack are amazing. Their regular gummies are also really good, and a lot of places use them as their house brand that they repackage. You can identify them by the A marking on the chest of a gummy bear or on the back of a gummy worm.

On Android, I use Podcast Addict but I haven't looked for new apps in years. That one has a search feature that allowed me to add/follow any podcasts I looked for.

NPR puts out some decent podcasts but it will depend on what you like listening to.

It goes even deeper than the grip they have over our local industries. Brunswick News, the privately owned media arm of JDI, own every English newspaper in the province

Not only do they exercise practically unilateral control over every major industry in the province, they control how events are portrayed in local news

Buddy.... no. (Also link your sources!!) That is one instance of the use of redneck but it is most definitely not the colloquial meaning. Its meaning stems from the sunburn found on farmers' necks dating back to the late 19th century. Its usage is similar in meaning to cracker, hillbilly, and white trash.

From Dictionary of American Slang, page 459By the 1970s, the term had become offensive slang, its meaning expanded to include racism, loutishness, and opposition to modern ways

A Short History of Redneck: The Fashioning of a Southern White Masculine IdentityA Short History of Redneck: The Fashioning of a Southern White Masculine Identit by Patrick Huber explains that, "The redneck has been stereotyped in the media and popular culture as a poor, dirty, uneducated, and racist Southern white man.

That is how it has been used throughout history. Nobody thinks of miners when they think of rednecks.

ADHD, as research indicates, was an advantage for hunters. Disorderizing what we are is whats stupid. You have it backwards.

Can I make a book recommendation? Read or listen to American Nations

Much of what confuses you is deeply entrenched in the cultural values of the people who originally settled the varying regions of the United States, and explains the political divides among those regions.
