I was born in the 90s, my brothers were born in the early 2000s. We had a CRT into the early 2010s . Maybe people who weren’t poor haven’t seen real TV static but even then I doubt it. Hell, remember those god awful “flat screen” CRTs? My old station still had one of those that we used to watch TV on in 2018-19. It’s probably still there lol
The darkest Brandon would be [redacted]
Came across an unironic use of “momgoloid” in a paper from 1992 once
Don’t be fooled, they put a sugar coating around the OTC stuff. Instant release Adderall on the other hand… that shit tastes pretty good
Looking at the inverse here. My entire family except for one of my brothers, my wife, and myself are chuds. If I didn’t have/want a good relationship with my parents I’d stay home
Yes, however, do beat the absolute piss out of the limes. The granulated sugar is there to act as an abrasive as well as draw the oils out of the lime rind
Sounds tasty, I’ll give it a try
My favorite mojito recipe:
2 Oz (60 ml) white rum
1/2 Oz (15 ml) rich demerara syrup (2:1 sugar to water ratio)
1 lime, quartered
a goodly amount of fresh mint, ~10-12 leaves
a little bit of sugar
~2 Oz (60 ml) soda water
Build:
Put a little sugar in your glass, chuck the lime and mint in, muddle.
After you’re done muddling, fill your glass with ice
Add a splash of soda water (not the whole 2 Oz), rum and syrup, stir until chilled
Too the glass up with soda water, stir again to incorporate the soda
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig
Notes: I really like Planteray 3 star or flor de cana 4 for this recipe. Planteray has an earthier flavor while the flor de cana has a more fruity/tropical vibe. If you don’t have access to demerara sugar, you can use light brown or raw sugar for a substitute.
I’m more of a tiger balm on the starfish kinda guy
In the stripped club straight bunkin it. And by it… haha. I mean. My yingits.
It was pretty cringe, the lyrics were god awful and they were way too liberal with the auto tune. Thankfully Elon is so unimaginative that he couldn’t think of more than one verse for his war crime of a song so there weren’t any surprises after ~10 seconds in. I would say the warning was justified, but a little overstated. I thought we were gonna be on Angelic 2 the Core levels of bad and it was just Friday bad. My relationship with my curiosity remains the same. As long as it isn’t (real) gore, I’ll probably click on it
Aw shucks, I’m honored to have my foolishness immortalized
You have no idea how much pain I’m willing to inflict on myself in order to get the reference. Your warning has been heard, but it will not be heeded
Edit: oof
It sounds good in practice too. The Zapatistas and Rojava have been putting systems like these in practice for quite some time now. Compared to their neighbors, they’re doing pretty well for themselves. These systems work, have worked, and are likely to continue to work. These systems aren’t for a perfect world, theyre systems to make the world better. My comment isn’t a comprehensive or even prescriptive list of things we need to do to establish anarchy. They’re examples of methods that have been used to great effectiveness and may carry insights and knowledge for people/communities to apply to their contexts in ways that make sense to them.
It shouldn’t be a leap of faith, it should be a careful and calculated effort put forth by those who want to work for it. You may not totally disagree with me, but I wholeheartedly disagree with the characterization that anarchy is unrealistic. It’s been done before and it’s being done now
Encourage and support the current unionization efforts. Stoke radicalism in the working masses, collectivize the means of production in a horizontal and egalitarian fashion. Abolish corporations so that there’s no corporations to manage. Allow the people who are already ensuring you have clean water to continue ensuring you have clean water. Allow the people who already study and test medications to continue to study and test medications. Allow the people who already engineer and maintain infrastructure to continue to maintain infrastructure. Standard anarcho-syndicalist stuff.
For civic management form neighborhood councils that are federated with adjacent communities, repeating this process to cover as much area as possible. Make collective decisions via direct democracy, utilizing revocable delegates to manage specific tasks and coordinate efforts on a large scale. Operate on a hybrid library/gift economy internally and engage in trade with outsiders (if money is still a thing). Distribute housing, food, and medicine freely, based on need and not the ability to pay. Facilitate relationships of freedom and mutual trust in your community. Do your part and trust memebers in your community to do the same. Standard communalist stuff.
There’s shit in the streets right now in many large cities due to the failures of the state. The gilded age and industrial revolution spawned numerous public health crises under the watch of governments. The planet is being burned alive due to failures of the state. The solution is more state? Are you sure about that?
Aw fuck yeah. That’s the brainrot I needed today. Thank you for that lol
Wish I could be of more help. I’ve had two different types of generic instant release and they both tasted lightly sweet and went down with 0 issues . Maybe I got lucky haha. Idk if name brand or generic makes much of a difference price-wise for you but you could always try parachuting your pills (without crushing them obv) to put a barrier between your tongue and the pill
