"WhY aRe WoRkErS qUiEt QuItTiNg!"

Because capitalism punishes success, that's why. Many people have learned that work isn't school. There's no A+s for a job well done, it's "can you come in today?" on a weekend.

No particular order:

  • Being a furry/furry sympathetic.
  • A science major of any kind. IMO the S needs more love in STEM.
  • Ever overhear them say "walkable" in a positive light.
  • Hobbies besides media consumption
  • Not "too cool" to learn something. Likes learning for fun.
  • Not to concerned with looking cool or badass, either. Look at CHUDs, I made a joke the other day that I can sense a decent bit of residual 90's 'tude in modern CHUDDery, and I think I'm onto something.

I don't have anything witty to say.

Fuck the oinkers, everything the WASPs accuse the Jews of is a confession.

Holy crap, Lois. Where do I even begin?

  • Microsoft on my desktop. Want to try out Linux but even boomers would make fun of my tech skills. That, and more games are on Windows.

  • Cars. Born in bumfuck nowhere, and cities with public transit are expensive as hell. If I ever get a better paying job, I'm selling that shit and moving anyways, because cars are also a huge money sink in and of themselves.

  • Google. I'll give them props, it's a good search engine even in its enshittified form, some of the ads I can deal with because if I am looking for a new t-shirt or something, then it would make perfect sense a Uniqlo ad would pop up. But its privacy that's the problem, and I try to be as "normal" as possible in this KiwiFarmsified hellscape. In the panopticon, the winning strategy is to not be interesting.

  • My iphone (inb4 avocado toast Venezuela). It would be silly to trash this thing now by principle, but once when its unusable, I'm going for a Linux Pinephone.

  • YouTube. It's a Monopoly and my broke ass doesn't want to subscribe to curiosity stream. It's like Texas though, while it's mostly derivative cringe, there's small pockets of gold that keep me there.

  • Linkedin. Pretentious garbage

  • Suburban life. Again, I am not a suburbanite by choice, decent paying jobs are tight and it's even harder to find an apartment in a state I know I probably won't be killed in AND I can afford.

TL;DR: I REALLY need to start learning 2 tech so I can navigate tech alternatives. Oh, and I need to get my shit together in life so I can afford to live in a blue city.

What are the first ten word of the first amendment you hold so dearly when a minority asks you politely to be nice?

WHAT ARE THE FIRST TEN WORDS, MOTHERFUCKER!?

Nothing too fancy, we just talk about our hobbies.

Me? I like baking, nothing feels quite like making something delicious for family members on thanksgiving. If I could learn any skill, it would be enough about tech, coding, art, and music to make games. But I am particularly interested in making video game music.

But ultimately, according to the survey, most Tesla owners plan to buy a Tesla again.

Lol

Premiere Pro. It's industry standard and DaVinci just isn't the same.

It's a shame adobe knows this and jacked up their prices to ridiculous levels ON TOP OF removing the one-time purchase to a SaaS model.

Generally, there are two types of CHUDs:

  1. People who were popular in high school and bullied people, and being a CHUD is how they can relive their glory days as the cool kids forever

  2. People who were bullied by group one, and decided to get their revenge on the world by becoming bullies themselves.

"You snowflakes need to grow a thicker skin!"

"Hold on, you're insulting ME! THAT'S ILLEGAL BUDDY!"

So they expect us to be tougher than them?

frothingfash: "The WEF wants me to own nothing and be happy!"

porky-happy: "You will own nothing and be happy."

frothingfash: "Oh sorry, of course I will own nothing. There is nothing wrong with literally everything being a luxury good. Hell, make me work for free. Porky knows what's good for all of us!"

Well, I finally got around to reading some theory so I'm officially not a :LIB: anymore, and I know Mao's essay on physical education is something I could knock out very quickly. The Crux of the essay goes:

  1. Being mentally and physically excellent are not mutually exclusive

  2. We are doing the younger generation a disservice by not emphasizing the body, something that will aid tremendously in both mental and ethical growth, among other things.

  3. Exercise can be done with just 30 minutes (although for my preferences, I would prefer a gym and I usually go for an hour as a total beginner, but I take 30 minutes per cardio session).

  4. Although most things should be polite, exercise is the one thing that should be "savage and rude".

Mao goes into a good amount in the last paragraph of the essay, stating...

" The superior man's deportment is cultivated and agreeable, but one cannot say this about exercise. Exercise should be savage and rude. To be able to leap on horseback and to shoot at the same time; to go from battle to battle; to shake the mountains by one' s cries, and the colours of the sky by one's roars of anger; to have the strength to uproot mountains like Hsiang Yu and the audacity to pierce the mark like Yu Chi — all this is savage and rude and has nothing to do with delicacy. In order to progress in exercise, one must be savage. If one is savage, one will have great vigour and strong muscles and bones. The method of exercise should be rude; then one can apply oneself seriously and it will be easy to exercise. These two things are especially important for beginners.

There are three things to which we must pay attention in exercise: (1) perseverance, (2) concentration of all our strength, and (3) that it be savage and rude. There are many other things that require attention. Here I have merely indicated the most important ones..... "

What exactly is meant by "savage and rude", and how can I apply this to my fitness goals?
