    i read these as getting ahead of the financial abyss and consequent dehumanification that lurks behind every working person and creeps up on them slowly but surely unless they're employed (and even that's not a guarantee of staving off the beast), rather than getting ahead of any actual people

    maybe im giving her campaign too much credit though, idk. the people who wrote that probably didnt even think it through this much

  • [posting this here bc the fitness comm is pretty dead] I'm tryna track my calories more closely and I've got a solution for tracking the calories I eat (shout out to the Nutritionix app) but its functionality for tracking calories spent is very rudimentary and I want to get something more precise than just going to an online calculator like [this](https://www.omnicalculator.com/sports/running-calorie). If any of yall have recommendations on cheap wearables that'll keep track of the calories I burn while exercising, I'd hugely appreciate it. I don't need it to do anything else and I don't even need it to connect to my phone, since I'm willing to manually input the number of calories burned every day. Death to America

    everyone always says lie on your resume, and i agree that there’s no reason not to. i’ve never done it before though so i want to know what i can and can’t get away with. for example, if i’ve been out of work since january, can i just lie and say i’m still employed by the company i quit working at in january and make it look like i don’t have an 8-month gap on my resume? or is the HR person at the place i’m applying going to be able to figure out that’s a lie? also please give tips on what are some good lies to add, how to punch up normal looking resume shit, etc Death to America

    anybody who you're calling deeply unserious, whatever that's supposed to mean specifically, 1) already knows they don't seriously espouse the values they claim to espouse and 2) doesn't care. it's a pointless comment to make Death to America

    yes it's nice that it's joever but kamala is fucking evil. she's a cop, she laughed about putting parents in jail for their children's truancy, and she wouldn't let cannabis offenders out of prison after it was legalized because she got paid by private prison lobbies to do so. total scumbag who deserves absolutely 0 support from anybody but the most trump derangement syndrome riddled liberals Death to America

    spoilers obviously the first 99% of the movie is a beautiful story about Delia, a woman in post-war Rome working up the courage to leave her abusive husband, Ivano. he treats her like trash and so does his father, who lives with them and their three kids. the oldest is a daughter, Marcella, who gets engaged to Giulio, the son of a much richer family, but the engagement gets broken off when SPOILER Delia detects signs that Giulio will abuse Marcella the way Ivano abuses her and then convinces a friend of hers in the US military police stationed in the city to blow up Giulio's fathers cafe. **this is incredibly based, direct action gets the goods. the movie literally shows that destroying property is cool and good.** this is critical for understanding why i was so disappointed with this film throughout the film Delia is considering leaving her husband to move to the north of Italy with Nino, a mechanic with whom she had a fling when they were much younger. the day he's leaving arrives and Delia's plans to escape go awry when her father in law dies, delaying her exit and making it impossible for her to escape to the north with Nino. at the wake, Marcella says to her friend "there's still tomorrow" and we the audience think, great, she's not gonna let this stop her, go off queen. BUT NO. holy SHIT no. the next morning Delia sneaks out early and changes into nice clothes and puts on make-up, leading us to believe she'll still be able to find Nino. unfortunately she leaves her ticket at home, and Ivano finds it and tracks her through the city. he finds her in line to get on a train north and then BAM we find out she's not in line for a train, she's in line to fucking ![vote](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/5c4b9546-ffb5-4984-a0d1-b491a3a63629.png "emoji vote"). that's right, her solution to her husband beating her and humiliating her is not to run away with a man who clearly loves her and with whom she could start a new life. no no no, she fucking VOTES her problems away, and the film doesn't even tell us who she voted for! because it doesnt matter, what matters is that you ![vote](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/5c4b9546-ffb5-4984-a0d1-b491a3a63629.png "emoji vote") FUCKKKKK they made a great movie and then took a huge shit on it in the last 2 minutes. i swear to god i've never hated a movie this much. pure ![blob-no-thoughts](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/1ef20b55-8fcc-4ed6-8fa2-57d4faa6b6a6.png "emoji blob-no-thoughts") liberalism, so disrespectful to all the women who have suffered through abusive relationships. fucking sickening, 0/10 tldr: they made ![vote](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/5c4b9546-ffb5-4984-a0d1-b491a3a63629.png "emoji vote"): the movie and it fucking sucks Death to America

    i have never hated america more than i do in this moment. our government intentionally and knowingly supported torturers and murderers here for nearly 20 years, for nothing more than cold war posturing and profit for people who already have more money than they could ever spend. over 35000 people were tortured and killed - 35000 families torn apart forever - for no benefit to anyone. words can scarcely convey the shame i felt while walking through the museum, reading copies of declassified documents detailing conversations between pinochet and the US state department. not only is the united states government the most evil entity in the history of the world, but also the people of the united states don't even care. most don't know or don't give a shit about the huge number of crimes their government has committed, and most of the rest think said crimes were Good, Actually. they're too satiated and stupified by treats to push for any kind of change in their government, let alone the complete destruction of the death machine the levers of which are in the white house. long live salvador allende Death to America

    was discussing this with a friend of mine (she's an anarchist but she actually organizes and shit). she was saying there can be no such thing as revolutionary masculinity because the two things are contradictory. but i'm a marxist so contradictions really butter my bread. i think in a utopian, communist world gender identity would be completely different, to the point where it might not even be legible to us today, but my question is more about how we get from here to there. basically, can we men find a way to not be shitheads in such a way as to bring about communism, or does that not even make sense feel free to dunk on me if this is a dumb question Death to America

    for ages now i've been posting on this site about how i'm leaving amerikkka. well todays the day it's actually happening - i've begun a 9 month trip through south america and europe. as a result i probably won't be posting much for a while, but don't worry, i'm ok. idk if i'm prominent enough of a poster here to justify this type of message but i know i worry sometimes when i don't see certain people on here for a while so i figured id preemptively mention the reason i wont be active as much. i love you all Death to America
