    Keeping on, keeping on. Workout routine has more or less stabilized aside from the days were work feels like its a bit more soul crushing than usualcruelty-desolate . Starting to prepare myself to work towards heavylifting. Diet has been so so, definitely could do more to eat healthier, but I've also been eating smaller portions and trying to fast from dinner up until lunch the next day.

    Should have seen something like this from Brown. They left it up to a board vote and they voted not to break ties with Israel and, as far as I know, took it in stride.

    Crushpostingsoypoint-2

    It probably wasn't as serious as I thought, but the rebound after the ~1 month texting break and cooling of our relationship has been kind of amazing. Especially when I think back on my previous relationship/dating experience where my crush at the time just ended up ghosting me even though we worked together.

    I think just opening up about my feelings just a bit helped compared to that last time, but also just going back to the basics and being myself. I really was just thinking way to hard about how to advance our relationship into something more exclusive. I got away from who I am to an extent and I even started to feel as it the pressure I was putting on myself was manifesting itself physically through feeling stronger symptoms of anxiety. My entire mindset became "what am I doing wrong?" rather than "what can I do to make her happy." And I also just completely tanked my self-esteem. I kept thinking I'm more of an annoyance than someone that can be a friend or more.

    Lately we've been texting pretty much daily. The flow of our conversations have been way better and we're even getting a bit more flirty. Like today were were talking about something I was showing her on my phone and she nudged up against mecrush Later we were watching a baseball game and gave each other a huge hug when our team scored.

    I think all I really need to do after the lessons I've learned is just try and spend more time with her outside of work and continue to build something with her.

    I'm guessing Pocahontas is a reference to warren-medusa because otherwise he's way further gone than everyone thinks he is. Also Warren hasn't been all that relelavant in a while, so I'm not sure most of the people he was talking to there would have gotten the reference anyway.

    When parties were primarily political organizations, they were led by elected officials and party bosses. Now that parties are more like quasi-religions, power lies with priesthood — the dispersed array of media figures, podcast hosts and activists who run the conversation, define party orthodoxy and determine the boundaries of acceptable belief.

    Wow, he almost gets it, but in the policy example he gives he turns around and gives examples of policy that has been under assault from right wing propaganda. Liberal "priests" as he puts it support things that Americans don't care about.

    Like affirmative action isn't popular, but lets ignore years of propaganda that has lead people to believe that unqualified POC are getting jobs over white people. Shifting to renewable energy isn't popular, but lets ignore years of propaganda that tells you that if you move away from fossil fuels you'll be putting thousands of industry workers out of a job and affecting millions who depend on them for their transportation. Immigration policy that doesn't treat migrants like criminals isn't popular, lets ignore the years of propaganda that tell you that only gangs, murderers, and removeds are coming through the borders.

    Its such an incredibly stupid way of looking at the issues facing American politics in general. The reality is that the parties are religious in nature because their most ardent supporters, especially the Democrat Party, truly believe that their party actually cares about them and the things they believe in. So no matter what they do materially (increase funding for the police, fund wars and genocide, cut social safety net programs, privatize services, etc) they continue to believe that they actually represent what they believe in. Even when they start to realize that they don't they still come up with ways to justify that suppport (no one is perfect, lesser of two evils).

    Honestly I wouldn't expect any better from this out of touch shithead though.

  • Statement from President Joe Biden on the Death of Yahya Sinwar
  • Rojo27 Rojo27 3d ago 98%

    This is a good day for Israel, for the United States, and for the world.

    dennis-stare

    As the leader of the terrorist group Hamas, Sinwar was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israelis, Palestinians, Americans, and citizens from over 30 countries.

    determined to protect themselves with no care for the civilians suffering above ground.

    Blaming Hamas for killing Palestinians just days after another one of those empty "red line" warnings to Israel is fucking cynical. Libs can continue to ignore the double speak, but fuck Biden, Kamala, and all the other bleeding fash libs that continue to support the genocide.

    >“It dawned on me today … The bad guys won in WWII,” reads the old X post from Royce White, a former NBA player now running against Democratic incumbent Sen. Amy Klobuchar in Minnesota. “There were no ‘good guys’ in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces.” Ah yes, this is exactly why the Cold War happened right after the war ended![clown-to-clown-communication](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F6fc3f951-79be-4304-8488-1f93f87658d1.png "emoji clown-to-clown-communication") >Asked for clarification, White said that "neither the Allied forces nor the Axis powers won or lost the war" and that "there was a group of people who benefited from all the institutions that sprang out and sprang up after World War II." >He said the people he's referring to were "globalists" and "the post-World War II democratic order." ![hitler-detector](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fa7e53fbd-6df2-4a41-b261-434cb7c73535.png "emoji hitler-detector")

    Tesla's Germany factory is going to have a train service that will transport its workers for free, which cool, train good. But a number of the usual suspects (Teslarati and other Tesla/Elon loving media) are claiming that Tesla are launching the train as if it had built the train. In some cases adding its "mind-blowing" capacity (its the same as a regular train). [Here's the kicker](https://archive.is/ESF0J): Tesla only slapped its name on a train built by Seimens, using batteries manufactured by Toshiba![data-laughing](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fb6671e8e-7f34-45d6-82d3-509fe8a4d683.png "emoji data-laughing")

    >The mayor has blamed the budget cuts on federal COVID aid ending, and the cost of the migrant crisis in the city. Seeing this is being reported uncritically on a few other websites and on TV news as well. The language surrounding the migrant situation is becoming more and more dangerous. It was only a month or two ago that Top Cop Adams said that the migrant "crisis" would destroy the city. Now we have the media running around putting the blame for budget cuts on migrants. Here's a NYT article that goes into more detail on the recent budget cuts: https://web.archive.org/web/20231116210120/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/nyregion/nyc-budget-cuts-schools-police-trash.html

Been around the community since the Chapo subreddit days. I fix tech stuff when restarting it doesn't work. I'm a ![freeze-gamer](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/64e86ed7-7aee-4c1a-8219-bb980ce5b062.png "freeze-gamer") Fan of trains, bikes, and walking. Also sports (football/soccer, baseball, basketball). First gen American, Latino background. For most of my life I was the type of liberal that called themselves socialist because they supported social democracy, although I never had overly negative feelings for communist countries. My shift towards leftism/socialism came from living through the Obama presidency and taking a Marxism course in college, which was the first time I took the time to read theory. I further radicalized after the 2016 elections.
