It’s not about”progressives” it’s about the average Joe voter who (in some ways rightly) couldn’t see a difference enough to make voting (an unnecessarily difficult chore) worthwhile.

The second problem, is that there is no collective class consciousness. At best there is maybe a collective unconscious feeling. Progressives often ascribe a much greater awareness than is warranted to the proletariat. Ironically after likely doing no organizing other than debating each other in closed left wing YouTube and Reddit threads.

This is funny but I can’t upvote AI nonsense out of principle :-(

There is a fun Netflix documentary where a guy creates his own cult: Kumare.

In the end he feels bad for taking advantage of peoples’ trust particularly when vulnerable and has a semi-sincere apology for including them in his project.

So the first requirement is you need to be a bit of a sociopath or a true believer (aka a bit crazy)

in addition to mineral deposits they also have natural gas and historically a good amount of people in the developed cities well trained in math, programming, and technical sciences.

They could have been an economic powerhouse in 21st century if they weren’t beholden to Putin and oligarchy.

We need a “fuck pedestrians” instance for this one guys

Disgusting. There need to be assault charges on the officers and the department needs a overhaul and oversight. Watch the video if you don’t agree

GTFO

The privatization of the common took place in many other economic regimes, e.g. feudalism, slavery, mercantilism, …

Capitalism is about the privatization of capital

Not an accurate description of capitalism, not based

On rare occasion I’ve taken control of nightmares in a Lucid dream state - typically waiking up momentarily and then going back to sleep.

I’m just not sure if the psychic cost of having these types of intense dreams encoded in memory is healthier than just sleeping and not remembering.

A bit plagued by my dreams ( thereby my subconscious ) if I can remember them.

That was the question I guess, I hear the idea I should engage more to remember dreams, but not sure if that is healthy for people to do who have vivid and disturbing dreams regularly (eg. Under attack, people I love getting hurt ect…)

As with the above posters, any idea if regularly dream journaling (and potentially lucid dreaming) is actually healthy or not?

I say this as someone who gets pretty bad nightmares and has had numerous lucid dreams (even transitioning from nightmare to lucid dream)

I have no idea if further engaging with my dream state is healthy or not?

Your name is lucid nightmare lol… I’m not buying it ;-P

As someone who worked night shifts for a little - it’s really not healthy.

There are studies showing that type of disruption to your circadian rhythm can take like more than a decade off your life. After doing it for a while I felt it impacting my well being, not being really awake, hitting the bed and falling asleep immediately but not deeply, super high base load of stress and heart pain.

FWIW , I’m talking working 11-4/6am type night shifts, not the late night retail/bar shifts which are tough in their own right

Excellent choices!

Fuckin bullshit. I’ve seen the cave paintings - they were throwing those fuckers

Believe it or not I also don’t wear shoes inside the house 😁

Sorry - not true. This dog lives on the couch and has barely set foot outside.

They come with paw feet naturally. I want that too, not to go harden my foot pads by walking on rocks and buying fancy nature shoes

I would love to see a picture of your paw feet 😂
