and at the gayest beach in one of the gayest cities in one of the gayest countries of the world no less. lol

i identify the most w the “repetitive” part

in more ways than one at this particular beach. lol

i have many of the inclinations of a woman, but very much a man. lol

waking and baking at the beach nearby me w primo weed and good iced coffee while molesting the beautiful men w my eyes.

lots and LOTS of ass. lol

a bigger measure is not being bombed in the last 50 years. lol

yes, that makes sense.

class consciousness is almost a taboo subject within the anglosphere – despite there being a very large and easily accessible body of work that explains it as well as a roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of the world practicing some aspect of it in every day life already.

i’m a neophyte to it myself and high profile examples of other neophytes like graham platner and kat abughazaleh make it clear how much damage you can do trying to practice it without a full understanding it. so any attempts on my part to explain it here should fall woefully short of achieving the goal of helping you understand how the lack of class consciousness is making people in the western world feel stressed/overwhelmed without realizing WHY they’re stressed/overwhelmed.

@Cowbee@lemmy.ml has created introductory reading lists and i strongly recommend starting there by going through their post history if you truly want to understand it.

analyses like these make it clear to me that class consciousness is gonna appear in the anglosphere long after it appears everywhere else, because it gets so close to the mark but never quite reaches it.

you’re 100% right that there’s a disconnect between how people feel about their current situation and how much they’re struggling with stress or feeling overwhelmed. the popular narratives in the west – especially the united states – leave people unable to see the relationship between global economic and geopolitical movements and the impacts they have on their own lives. instead, these manufactured narratives lead them to believe their failed coping efforts are just an unavoidable feature of modern life, as you described it.

for the moment, i’m like you – my life isn’t that stressful, but that’s because i’ve intentionally made it as non-stressful as possible through trial & error, and i know things will change again for me, like they have before. my life as an autistic & queer poc who descends from the kind of immigrants ice is currently rounding up has forced me to experience, witness, and acknowledge the casual fascism that’s intrinsic to western cultures in ways that non-stressed, non-overwhelmed americans never will – that is, until capitalism gets late stage enough to force it on them.

and even under such a reality, i fully expect the anglosphere to continue resisting to accept reality for an absurdly long time. you need to look at the responses you’re getting regarding health to a small taste of this; none acknowledge how much additional stress that affording healthcare while affording life at the same time is adding to their woes.

he’s one of those fabled good apples in the bunch – one of the cops who report the other cops – and the rotten ones in the bunch (aka the 99.99%) are trying to arrest him.

some of them are so bad haha

that’s exactly why i asked. lol

One of my favorite sci-fi movies.

which one? lol

there’s been many movies, but only one book that they’re all VERY LOOSELY based upon.

leftist politics and open source technology are lemmy’s strengths; if you don’t like either, then you’re going to miss out on the best that lemmy has to offer.

that explains why i’m not losing any weight. i knew that peanut butter was high in calories, but didn’t know jelly was just as bad.

Its equal parts weight of the fruit and the sugar, generally.

wait?! really?!!!

reddit has better bread and circuses

star trek is Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism; so there’s a lot of overlap. lol

If you do something like software engineering and you have a significant body of existing good work for it to pull from. Claude can be pretty exceptional.

the fresh grad new hires at my last place were able to code circles around me because of their embrace of ai and it made me think that i was already a dinosaur and became the biggest reason why i went back into IT.

It’s not great at breaking new ground though.

but watching the soon-to-be grads w a similar embrace fall flat on their faces repeatedly because the codebase at my new place hasn’t been updated in almost 15 years and was created by their fellow students, has made me realize that this is also true.

still though, if you know what you’re doing; ai is a pretty decent idea/concept generator and sounding board if all but one of your colleagues are students, so you don’t have anyone else to ask like it is in my present situation.

We don’t have 1000 posts of slop, we have 100 posts of open source trans autism. Once you train your taste buds to be accustomed to nutritious content again, you won’t be able to stomach the slop anymore.

rotflmao

also: very true, i’m ashamed at the amount of slop i used to ingest.

That explains recent Kerala election.
