Megathread pasta in the body
Mandatory listening material for today:
Lenin’s The State and Revolution
You have now been press-ganged into the revolution, comrade. Today you choose if fash gets the wall or Davy Jones’ locker.
Comrades, I think I just won reddit bingo. I was called an "iPhone commie" for pointing out that Venezuelans actually do have food. Where do I collect my prize??
From this Onion comic
I just found out myself like two days ago lol
Oh my god lol I thought it’d really be funny but this is so mediumwhelming
I like it because it's the exact face I make staring at my phone watching the "..." in my messaging groups after saying a really edgy commie-adjacent declarative statement.
Biden going straight down to $10,000 for student loan forgiveness BEFORE INAGURATION shows that the Dems don't give give a fuck about compromise or the mechanics of politics.
They are fucking LOSERS.
So I did mushrooms on Thursday and it immediately and dramatically alleviated the severe bipolar depression I've been experiencing for like 8 months now. I'm just reveling in the experience of being not-depressed right now. If this ends up being a reliable, repeatable thing I'm going to Tajikistan, climbing down the burning hell-mouth in to Hell, and I'm going to find Richard Nixon and drag him out of the underworld and then strangle him to death again for starting the war on drugs and making my whole life an unbearable hell when I could have just eaten some fucking mushrooms off the floor and been fine.
the internet itself has fucking doomed humanity. i thought it was a great idea for a while, because information is so free, but propaganda is free-er. it's like a fucking brainwashing square dumbfucks hold in their hands constantly.
i dont know whether to upvote you or down vote you, because a lot of people use this as a fucking insult, but with the way cocporations have taken over the internet, yes we would be better off without it.

it could have, but with the way for some reason most people are, where they'll just accept shit without thinking, outlooks not so good.
well, i won't try to convince you to be a doomer on it or anything if all that's driving you is hope, but remember that even if people aren't quite optimistic and know they're going to fail, to fight a losing fight if the purpose is righteous is still a decent thing to do.
So I’ve just started working my first real job post-college graduation. The reality that I’m always going to be this miserable, this tired, and this stressed is really starting to set in. It wouldn’t be that bad if there just weren’t so many hours. I work 45 hours in a week plus an hour commute one-way. Which might not be as much as some people, but I’m just too tired after work to enjoy the 4 hours o have left in the day. I’m considering that I might just be more happy if I work a job with less hours and have no disposable income. The dollar could collapse on itself any day now anyway and it would’ve all been for nothing

Even the people who like capitalism cant abide that one.
I have been in your exact position, and three years of it almost killed me. Took another position that pays way less but I have my time back, and I'm infinitely happier
DAE remember back during the primary, around the Nevada caucus, there was a native Japanese dude who traveled to America just to canvass for Bernie, imagine that. And when during the Iowa Caucus, the Bernie campaign convince a bunch of meat workers and small immigrant communities to vote for the first times and help secure his win there. Or when the union members in Nevada voted overwhelmingly for Bernie despite their leadership threatening them. Call me a lib, but those kind of little stories like that really made me hopeful back then. And then SC and the Super Tuesday happened, all that efforts, all that positivity and hopefulness just up and disappeared, how fucking sad is that.
Redditors have been talking about how hard it is to get a job on /r/dataisbeautiful. Quite a few people have been saying stuff like "I applied to 300 to 400 places before I got an offer", one poor soul has been looking for years and estimates they probably have sent easily over 1000 resumes and got 2-3 interviews. Brain dead PMC types are saying that that can't be possible and something must be wrong with their resume or something, lol.
I hope Chomsky lives to witness Biden doing absolutely nothing what so ever about climate change while pandering to the republican party.
I like having two presidents. Not the turmoil it brings, but from a cosmic literary standpoint it's absurdly funny. There's a strong pope/antipope energy to it and also illustrates the inherent ridiculousness of the POTUS' status as "most powerful man in the world".
Anyways I got my fraud accusation cleared up, so in theory there is nothing stopping me from finally receiving PUA payments, except it's Thanksgiving week, so the Department of Labor might be closed and just not send payments anyway.
Allow me to kick off this admiral megathread by saying a quick ahoy to all of my scalawag comrades and I hope your day is shipshape
