Man, Hexbears search function sucks. I can never find what I'm looking for, and often it shows my stuff outside of the bounds I specify. Time in particular, it just shows me from whenever despite time limits on both sides. I've tested it, even have a really big time window, like 3 years or something, and with words that I copied from the message, and my first result will be outside of the time window, have only some but not all of the words, and not be the right thing.

Y’all ever find it funny that chuds love angrily railing against “condescending elites with their ‘experts’ and ‘fact-checking’.” but the second you start discussing anything in the realm of economics, they all get smug-ass grins and start their long condescending lecture on how they’re smarter than you because of their vicarious expertise?

Chuds “fucking love economics” the same way they accuse the left they “fucking love science”.

So bad times. My landlord is kicking me out in 60 days and I have to figure out how to swing a safe place for me and my cats again.

I might start posting craigslist spare bedroom ads just for ragebait. All I want to do is contact these people and verbally shame them.

HEY! ANYBODY WANT TO LIVE IN A TRAILER IN SOME GUY'S BACK YARD FOR A FUCKING GRAND A MONTH??

Have a bit of a belated new years resolution: be less misanthropic. It’s easy to assume people are just jackasses by nature, so of course fascism will win. But I really want to challenge that paradigm. Thankfully there are three things not even I can deny are weak points for chuds:

1. Israel. Supporting it is also being seen more and more as cringe as being pro-Palestine is undeniably counter-culture

2. Incels. Even back in the day r/cringeanarchy mocked them.

3. Economics (as always). Here chuds go from trolls to the self-appointed “experts” and love giving academic dunks on why it is good the rich get everything and how us dumb poor rubes will never understand their genius! If you’re explaining, you’re losing.

Today's discussion of Lemmy and piefed made me want to learn the basics of Rust I guess carcinization also applies to lefty software devs

I fucking hate Europe. I just had a great job interview which I nailed for an electronics-related company, but of fucking course there are military projects. The conditions are good, but I don't think I can accept a job related to the military field seeing what Europe has been doing in Palestine

Vent post: last week, a big ass truck plowed into my car in the snow. The truck was fine, but totally fucked up the side of my car. The dude was nice enough, admitted fault, and we exchanged info (I opted to NOT call the police, because, fuck that).

Now his insurance has admitted fault, got me a rental, yadda yadda but they claim that the cost of the damage (13k) is more than the value of the car. Similar vehicles to mine are selling for $20,000...but they are trying to give me a check for <$8,000. I told them I am in a chapter 13 bankruptcy, and giving me a check would be the same as giving it to the court...I told them this is the ONE thing I own, I jsut want it fixed, and they just keep brushing me off like I am nothing. This is so infuriating. My friends are telling me to get a personal injury lawyer and try to get more money. I don't want more money, I just want my fucking car back. Now State Farm is offering $4k and I can have the car as is with a salvage title. This country fucking sucks so god damn much.

feel like shit I want summer time back

e: ooo sorry I didn't realize that word was banned (I saw it elsewhere when I was browsing. maybe it was a different instance? I don't really fully understand the fediverse.) although it makes sense. sorry mods.

I either have shittier insurance than I thought or I unintentionally picked a really expensive form of birth control because turns out I was prescribed the generic and its still almost $60 a month

Thankfully I have a Costco membership and can get it for like $25 a month through them

Plus it justifies my costco membership by saving me like $300 a year

I hate this country

Did some gud lighting and poses for other gunpla, knowing how to tske pictures is paying off

ive shoveled six parking spots, because instead of burying people for taking a spot I cleared, im just gonna make another. Now everyone has more spots!

I need, like, socialization training. I've no friends, only my partner, and my social anxiety has been allowed to get out of control. Covid + autoimmune disease really fucked me socially, and I don't know what to do to fix it.

(pretend you’re seeing this post a few days ago when ye put that apology in the newspaper) he’s trying to take the yeezy way out

How I feel waking up that the richest person in human history is literally the “quirk chungus” meme but a fascist.

They all act like badass war gods, but Muskrat’s personality is all the negative stereotypes of millennials concentrated in a gen X manchild. Bro is literally the “how do you do, fellow kids?” meme.

i'm gonna become an asian version of "ethnic" white americans who are always like "my ancestors are from ireland and sweden and italy and" but instead it's flaunting that i'm 1/8 chinese

Capital is beating my ass i wont lie

Still on chapter 1 lol and hoping I understood what hes saying about the abstraction of use value

I think hes saying if you remove the 2 factors of the commodity then their only trait left is that they're products of labor. But if you somehow seperate a commodity from its use value youre also separating it from its raw materials and the labor used to transform it into said commodity.

This separation for use value and thus labor would result in the distinctions between different types of labor to cease existing, reducing all types of labor to just a general, abstract human labor

New mega!

How is everyone today?

I got my license to use the internet

Really wish the energy economy would hurry up and collapse already, ideally in the next 10-15 years.

I hunger for $2/kWh electricity prices and $15/gal gasoline prices, which will unravel the Western lifestyle, make daily driving prohibitive, and force people to think conservatively about everything they plug into an outlet and every switch they flip on.

A world without cars or AI, brought to us by natural economic consequences. All it takes is for us to run past the barriers, peak oil and peak 'every mineral resource we use to bypass oil'.

I wish unlimited Special Economic Period on North America and Europe.

I enjoyed camping. Short but fun. Sumburbt. Don't want to work tomorrow. Also newpipe not working on phone anymore so maybe who knows try to kick the watching YouTube over meals habit

107 pages into my edition of Capital and I'm finally starting chapter 1

I had a really great bowl of lentil soup for dinner from a local hole in the wall restaurant. It tasted kinda beefy, even though they definitely didn't use any beef stock in it—the chef said they added marmite to it??

Set me back $5. I am very full and very happy.

Fucking livid organizing with children anarchists. Fuck them.

it is january 31 and stalin saved the world from fascism

: “TaKe ThE rEdPiLl!”

• Ironically a rallying cry for the privileged and well-pedigreed to reaffirm their elite status, to demand MORE comfort.
• The ‘truth’ they claim seems to not cause them any discomfort at all. In fact it’s very comforting for them
• Literally has been corrupted to just mean self-servingly go along with whatever you want to be true.

: “Put on the shades!”

• Get to see the doublespeak elites are really trying to say
• They Live addresses the fact your enemies have the best PR money can buy
• Creator explicitly told chuds claiming antisemitic conclusions to fuck off. It’s fair game.

God damn I had a dream last night of an Elon Musk themed childrens park that was just so shit that nobody liked it.

There was this activity where you had to throw a ball through a hole, but instead of being able to just throw the ball yourself the idea was to use this shitty human shaped wooden dummy and make it throw the ball using a lever. Of course it never worked.

The best part was this pond in the middle of the park that had small boats floating in it with fake elon musk look a like rubber dummies sitting in them. The funniest bit was when I properly saw one of the dummies up close and it looked like a banana shaped person, like the pilot in Airplane. Which for whatever reason made me think in the dream that musk has no neck.

Yesterday I had a sharp pain in my foot, like a tendon was tearing slightly or something but it wasn't that bad, so I continued to stand for a few hours and dance with high energy, and now my foot is fucked and I can't walk. This is a PSA, listen to your body if you want to prevent repetitive stress injuries.

Honestly though a really attractive person took my hand outta no where and danced with me for a bit so I don't really regret it

Logging in to make my once-weekly, court-mandated comment on chapo dot chat

Had a fun day of shouting insults directly into my manchild landlord's face the other day. During which, he insisted that he WASN'T a worthless nepo baby parasite because he bought the house himself with his own big boy money back in 2009 when the market was at its bottom.

In 2009 he was probably fresh out of high school. I looked up the history of the property and it did indeed sell that year for about 200k.

This is the self mythology of these kinds of people.

Dad gave me some older speakers he had that sound great! But they don't have Bluetooth oddly, and I've been trying to move more towards locally stored music... this might be the thing to finally get me to start a home server

Bears make such lazy sounds for such a powerful animal. Like tigers are all "FROWWWL!" meanwhile bears be like "Ugggghagh"

Technology Connections starts ranting

"That's why you need to vote for Democrats!"

it's almost annoying how more lib south american leftist are than american leftists, yelling at us to buy guns like i haven't just lived a week with no heating.

actually no material analysis with them
