There is a tinge of that, but you can also look at it as the family being bad people due to immense wealth and privilege. Being forced into the same circumstances that the majority of people are born with gives them the opportunity to learn the value of community and grow as people. It definitely has mixed messages on that however, and the main reason to watch it would be if you like the characters and find it funny.

Professiomal-Managerial Class.

This group of middle class professionals is distinguished from other social classes by their training and education, typically business qualifications and university degrees, with occupations including academics, teachers, social workers, engineers, managers, nurses, and middle-level administrators. The professional-managerial class tends to have incomes above the average for their country.

Probably a dumb question, but is it the hormone changes that make you need to pee more or something else in the medication? Anecdotally, women tend to pee more frequently, and I always assumed it was about the physical size of the bladder but I guess hormones could influence that too.

How come the price differential between more expensive cuts and less expensive cuts is so much smaller for the cheaper brands and grocery stores? It seems like eye round, brisket, or tritip will be like $5 and a ribeye or strip steak only slightly more at $7 or $8. At fancier stores that sell better stuff, the cheaper cuts will only be slightly higher in the $5-7 range, but the steaks are all $14+.

It's a trans comrade that accidentally got caught in the original purge. They got banned in this case after saying that they found it personally invalidating for TC69 to imply that only cissies criticized the moderation policies and that her only regret was not banning more cissies.

They basically waited until he had no real power, and in many ways

More specifically, they waited until they knew which party was going to be leading the congressional committees that oversee them for the next few years. Everyone thinks this is a reaction to the buffalo guy, but I think it's a lot more likely that it's a reaction to the Georgia runoffs.

It would be cool if we had a /c/theory comm where people could ask questions and discuss ideas about what they're reading.

EDIT: I just put in a comm request for this. Leave a comment there if you want to see it happen.

Bodyweight fitness routines are great if you don't want to buy a lot of equipment or go to the gym (doubly so during covid). A lot of the exercises can be done with stuff around the house, and at the most you need a cheap pull-up bar and set of rings. The exercises also naturally adapt to different levels of difficulty, so it's easy for beginners to get started. The recommended routine on reddit is decent.

I don't get it... am I not drinking hard enough if I don't pee my pants like this?

Capitalism is a type of oligarchical government in which no one shares resources and everyone gets vastly different amounts regardless of how much they work.

Limetown is great if you want an option that isn't political, it's one of the better scripted podcasts. It has a compelling mystery plot and is well acted, so it's good for binging and killing time.

imagine owning a book called SOCIALISM

Keep going, I'm almost there 💦

Maybe if we had universal healthcare and a UBI that covered rent, healthy food, and a reasonable allowance for recreation. The "efficient market wage" logic only makes sense if people aren't held hostage to take whatever they can get in order to survive.

I think they're hit or miss, and at their best when they have good guests. The Steve Bannon and Zizek episodes are pretty interesting.

It's a bit late for me too because of my work schedule, I would be happy to come to anything that's over by about 8 PST. Maybe we could do early and late showings to accommodate people with different schedules and timezones?

Social hierarchies need to be dissolved before economic hierarchies can be attacked. Think before you do class reductionism.

There's a spectrum of reasonable opinion here. I'm fully in favor of dissolving social hierarchies, am highly supportive of trans positivity, and consider myself an intersectionalist. I'm not even necessarily opposed to banning based on these kind of downvotes, but I feel like it was handled poorly by the mods (banning way too many people in the first pass, not discussing it first, pointing to the poll that said the voting history access would be used for another purpose). I also think that I personally put more relative importance on class issues than some people on this site do, and that economic hierarchy issues are more painfully underrepresented in broader politics than those related to social hierarchy.

The thing that's bothered me about this whole struggle session is that it's felt like people with similar viewpoints to mine are getting lumped in and branded as TERFs, class reductionists, fascists, stupidpol, etc. This alienates a portion of the community that are, in reality, extremely closely aligned to the rest of the users here. It baffles me that we try to be nonsectarian, and can accommodate such different philosophies as anarchism and Marxist-Leninism, while simultaneously having very little tolerance for slightly different opinions about the relative importance of social and economic issues.

Tag yourself, I'm the Gulf of Hate.

Remember when Winn-Dixie bought Lucky's for the sole purpose of shutting it down? Capitalism breeds innovation. Then it smothers it in the crib.

In addition to dietary concerns, alligators that are fed by humans learn to associate them with food and it makes them far more likely to approach and/or attack people. That puts other people in danger, and makes the alligators more likely to be killed based on their behavior. Jokes aside, you really shouldn't feed them anything.
