looks like it's technically on a river, which i assume flows, so that probably counts for something?

Why doesn't Avatar (2009) get more credit for being pretty based politically? in c/[email protected]

The Chapo Trap House podcast had an episode in 2020 or maybe early 2021 about how based Avatar was, and they admitted it was weird it took that long for people to come to that conclusion

Horror stories from the working class (hexbear.net)
 

Let's share the worst things we've had to endure as employees. I'll go first:

Teenage, food service, pizza. The AC breaks in the middle of a California summer, easily 110°f outside, 115°f inside the store (verified), with 500°f open-ended ovens running nonstop. Then the makeline which holds ingredients breaks. The cheese melts into clumps. We stay open, business as usual. Also, no breaks, ever. Pay: $8.50/hr.

Adult, teaching, high school. No in-class heat for four years. School provides one basic 11" fan heater used to warm small bedrooms. My class ceilings are at least 12ft with tons of windows. I developed a routine of showing up an hour early, turning on the collection of heaters I'd acquired (including several from home), and get the room up to a sweltering 62°f by first period. I also figured out which electrical items can be plugged into which outlets and how to reset the fuse panel on a moments notice. I have photos of my students huddled around an oil-radiator with their hands out, eager for even a semblance of heat.

Your turn:

Every time I visit my parents and the news is on TV in the background, I'm astonished by just how thick it lays on the propaganda. in c/[email protected]

"When was the last time they had a conservative/republican give a viewpoint"

"Today."

"When was the last liberal/democrat?"

"Today."

"When was the last anarchist/communist?"

"I don't really know what viewpoints the speakers have."

I ask this in good faith, wanting to learn/change my perception: why does it seem like I more often seen Anarchist unwilling to unify with MLs than vice versa? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 years ago

I think for the terminally online, calling yourself an anarchist is a way to be a leftist without doing the legwork and lifting of reading and understanding theory, but knowing that the system is fucked up. And MLs can come off as exclusionary know it alls because they can't go thirty seconds without mentioning Lenin. Unfortunately, the baby leftist with an attitude is susceptible to lib shit masquerading as radical

Another victim is added to the list. in c/[email protected]
