  • It just happened fucking again! Not with my weight but the "that can't be true". Friend of mine had a collapse. She took her temperature and it was 33° C, which is 91.4 Fahrenheid, which is waaay to low and extremely dangerous. She took the temperature under her arm, so maybe it was 0.5 dagrees more. She is in another country, so I could only be there over the phone. I looked up what do to and told her to drink a tee. A friend was supposed to come and help and it took him half an hour to get there. She kept drinking tee and kept warm but didn't want to see a doctor because she had to pay half a month salary for a corona test. It didn't get better and she went to the Doctors today. When she told her, that she took the temperature under the arm and is was only 33°, she told her that wasn't possible. She sent my friend home without any further inspection but measuring the heart rate. It's rediculous, this girl can barely walk and is being told to go home because her sympthoms were impossible and her heart rate is fine.





  • I have been way too skinny all my life. In school we once had to calculate our BMI (school is a fucked up place) and our teacher told me my BMI was impossible and NOBODY could live with a BMI like that. I tried everything to gain weight but nothing worked. Then I found out I have been depressed for the majority of my life. My doctor put me on antidepressants and for the first time in my life I understood people who could always eat. I ate more than ever before and gained more than 20lb in three weeks. What I'm trying to say is: Your hunger, your drive to eat something and all these things are determined by your hormones, nothing else. Every person has unique brain with a unique mix of hormones. Eating less has nothing to do with a lack of will. You can't decide how much you have to eat, your hormones do that and dictate your life. So don't be ashamed when your the one eating the most at a dinner (or every dinner). Maybe don't eat too much sugar tho. The sugar industry made fat the villain when actually a high fat, low sugar diet is probably the best for humans.




  • In a capitalist society, the Bourgoise will give the worker just enough to not start a revolution. That's why we got the 40h/week and then nothing changed anymore. Therefore, I have two hearts beating in my chest. One, that wants revolution and one that doesn't want to see people dying. UBI would change our society but the biggest winners will not be the workers but the landlors. If you have a UBI without any further regulations you would end up with living spaces that start at the UBI. I'm afraid UBI would strenghten capitalism instead of weakening it. I'm almost sure it wouldn't be a stepping stone to overcoming capitalism. However, it would make capitalism more liveable and maybe that is a good thing. I dont know.


  • Ah I see. I'm honestly sorry, for attacking you. I agree, that some of the "lets not talk about it" is propaply an op. I know it sounds stupid that a state department would create bots or spam forums but what happened online, when the GME stock went over 100 the first time, was just crazy. There were like half a million new accounts on reddit and twitter with an _ in the user-name. When hedge funds do it, the government can. Plus, everthing they accuse China of has turned out to be projection. I think, we (as leftist) should not step back but step forwards and do what we can to debunk imperialist propaganda. The thing is, there is almost no winning possible. People don't accept that they have been exposed to propaganda all their lifes. Nobody is willing to admin that everthing ones oppinions were based on were lies. I mean, it was the same for me. I had to learn that I have been lied to, mostly from comrades providing good information. Now, that I'm sorta aware of what's going on, it's easy to see. We have to be vocal about their lies and we have to educate people.

    I really don't get it. What is the auction for. A gif? Really? Or is it like a copyright thing? In Germany one company bought the brand name "black Friday" and now we get black week sales or something
