What is the coziest job? I love the idea of being a fisherman. Can you imagine being a Scandinavian fisherman? Must be awesome.

I fantasize a lot about being a hard-bodied young man sailing across the world, exploring all of Europe, all the while serving my nation by being the best Fisherman in all the land. Hopefully I will reincarnate into something like that. Unfortunately I'm a lazy-eyed, glasses-wearing, wimpy little freak.

I'm straight and I always thought that it was funny when a character for example says "I'm gay" and that's the entire joke. This video is a very good example of what I'm talking about. However I always wondered if this type of humor otherizes gay people. I know that this is idol or whatever but I still wanted to get your thoughts.

hello i’m transpecies elf, dragon, and werewolf and overall an alterhuman in general. i also want to be a shapeshifter sometime in the future too or something like a squid. i wonder if transpecies would be considered just as valid and acceptable as transhumanism in the future or would it even be possible to be “fully” transpecies (changing from one animal to another physically and perhaps biologically as well in the sense it’s similar to transitioning)

All forms of transitioning are valid.

Yes. In the future you will be able to transition to other species through genetic therapy or even possible to become bispecies(See: catgirls)

>In 1983 the video game industry crashed, plunging from an estimated global market value of $42 billion in 1982 to only $14 billion in 1985. It was catastrophic for what had seemed an unstoppable industry and, like most economic crashes, spawned many myths about its causes and outcomes.

>The popular imagination blames the crash on a combination of poor-quality games (most famously, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), the rise of home computers, and the increasing number of video game consoles for consumers to choose from. These myths have largely been accepted and perpetuated by historians, social media personalities and popular culture.


>Fast forward to 2025 and the video game industry seems to be going through another crash. Just this year alone, according to the website GamingLayoffs.com, the industry collectively has laid off 3,563 game developers. Gaming website Kotaku reports that Virtuous Ltd, the studio behind one of the biggest successes of the year with The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, is laying off three hundred employees.


>What the crash of 1983 and the ongoing crash of 2025 have in common is that in both cases, most media, historians and social media influencers have muddied the waters on the cause and source of the crisis.


>In a way, the gaming industry is a canary in the capitalist coal mine. Video games are a sort of luxury goods – nobody ever died from not being able to play Donkey Kong Country or failing to grab the latest Call of Duty game. What this means in practice is that the capitalists who own and run the industry can be as greedy and rapacious as possible, above and beyond what they think they can get away with in more “serious” industries.


>Going back to 1983, Atari’s home version of Pac-Man – considered one of the worst games ever made – still managed to sell a total of seven million copies. Subjectively that’s an eye watering sum of units to sell; objectively it was the highest selling game the Atari console would ever sell. But despite this, Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 console reveals one of the unspoken truths about capitalism: it’s not enough to be successful. While Pac-Man sold seven million units, the corporate executives had banked on selling twelve million – that target would have required every single Atari

I was reading random articles when I came across this skeptic guy named Miles Mathis. He has a billion papers on different people and other things and basically just hates millionaire capitalist families and glowfags like any other conspiracy theorist. I like his hoax event and glowfag shitting papers but saw he has a paper on Marx, Castro, Hitler and other leaders.

To tl;dr the paper he says Marx was a mole from an elite family and socialism and communism is a meme devised by jewish industrialists. He rambles on a lot and talks about shit no one cares about, but some of Marx's family ties to European nobility does make me wonder if many of the people we trust and care about aren't actually who they appear as. Or maybe this guy is just an agent himself and trying to slander us. What do you guys think?

the point of the analogy is that the pamphlet is fake, and to uncritically take it at face value is to play into the antisemitic propaganda. it is the same as reading a pamphlet about the yellow peril and saying "I'm not sinophobic but this sounds concerning" without first asking yourself if the book is real, and if not, why was it made and what agenda it was trying to push

He actually wrote a little bit on the protocols I'll have to find a PDF

Scientific socialism is a glow op. Lemme explain, Marx was from a middle class family and married an aristocrat while Engels was straight up bourgeois capitalist. They weren't the only ones, Kropotkin was a serf owning aristocrat. It has nothing to do with Jews. So these people were non-proles who infiltrated the workers movement because of a sense of bourgeois guilt and shame at raping the workers and their bourgeois values influenced their beliefs and theories. Scientific socialism is just socialism with bourgeois characteristics stealthily mixed into it. Anarchism is romantic aristocratic thinking pretending to be a popular movement. So all forms of Marxism and anarchism today are evolved from bourgeois systems.

Neo Nazi uyghurs say Jew because they project all the problems of white bourgeois civilization onto Jews so they can pretend someone else caused all their problems. This is sublimation of class struggle the way jocks sublimate their repressed homosexuality into sports.

> So these people were non-proles who infiltrated the workers movement because of a sense of bourgeois guilt and shame at raping the workers and their bourgeois values influenced their beliefs and theories.

This explanation falls apart the moment you look at

A: Utopian socialism before scientific socialism, who was responsible for it, who was in charge of it
B: Marx and Engels's critique of utopian socialism

Utopian Socialism was the approach taken by Saint-Simon, Charles Fourier, Robert Owen, all of them from wealthy ruling class backgrounds, all of them with the same exact sense of guilt you ascribe to Marx and Engels.

Marx and Engels criticized Utopian socialism on precisely the same lines you claim Marx and Engels are wrong: they attacked the Utopians for their reformist and bourgeois ideas stealthily mixed, for their philosophical idealism, and for its ineffective and overly pacifistic organizational strategies. They denounced bourgeois guilt, bourgeois charity, class collaboration, bourgeois-led workers movements, overreliance on electoralism, reforms, unions, and cooperatives, (i.e. the legal half of the struggle).

If your suggestion is that the struggle should be entirely illegal and that Marx and Engels were wrong for suggesting that there even need to be a legal half of struggle in addition to illegal struggle and violence, then you are of a deviation known as Otzevism which Lenin criticized thoroughly.

Does anybody else not understand why they find guys attractive? I recently came across a video that said "straight men just dont understand what women and gay men find attractive in males" and it made me realize that I couldnt even identify what it is about men that im even attracted too.

I definitley know when i find another guy attractive, but I usually couldnt explain why. My tastes in men arent even very coherent, I like feminine men, but I also like buff hairy dudes, and I also like incels. My attraction to men makes no logical sense

Why does every single transfem character in media make me feel so miserable?

I know I should be happy that people like me are getting more representation but im not. Everytime I see a character like brigette from guilty gear im just reminded how ill never be as pretty as her, and how ill never be as confident and happy as her.

Even that one movie I Saw The TV Glow which every trans person was raving about made me feel worse than any other piece of media has ever made me feel before. It felt like the movie itself was mocking me for being too cowardly to transition, and basically telling me that I was gonna suffer and be unhappy forever until I die.

It's a mediocre, purely artistic movie. Some scenes are so unrealistic that they're laughable, and some are deliberately comical, which doesn't suit this type of movie. The actress playing the commander is bad and her Japanese sounds weird. I don't like that everything is so sterile, clean and aesthetical. In my opinion, historical movies should be dirty and realistic.

Around the 29 minute mark Peterson criticizes Marx and Engel's for assuming that workers would magically become more productive once they took over.

This actually happened historically, most of the actually effective productivity tricks work places use now were developed by Stakhanovites.

Nice man if you end up reading it let me know your thoughts! I'm shelving the Furies for now. I keep running into the issue of not being familiar enough with the history of the French revolution and it makes it somewhat frustrating to read through.

I got Wages of Destruction for christmas so probably gonna continue with that instead. In case anyone is interested in reading about the holocaust I read picrel last year and it was really interesting. It's not explicitly Marxist, but I do feel like it takes a very materialist approach (emphasizing food, housing, plunder, forced labor and anti-partisan activity to name what comes to mind right now) to the topic. Gerlach also takes into account the broader European dimension showing how policies regarding Europe's Jews differed from country to country, but also how these policies contrasted in the heartlands vs the occupied frontiers. He also writes about the 3 million Soviet POWs that were starved to death at the start of operation Barbarossa, which is something that is not talked about often in the mainstream.

I am starting to read "Neurosis and civilization : a Marxist/Freudian synthesis" of Michael Schneider, but is my first book about the subject, and i am not experience in neither Freud nor Marx.

We may first read Lacan's assessment of Freud's project (1956):
>"Psychoanalysis should be the science of language inhabited by the subject. From the Freudian point of view man is the subject captured and tortured by language."
<Jacques Lacan, Seminar 3, Ch. 19, Sct. 3
This "torture" we can see structurally, by the separation of the signifier from the signified, and further, of the signifier's internal separation from itself, as we may read from chapter 14, from seminar 3:
<The signifier, as such, signifies nothing […] Experience proves it - the more the signifier signifies nothing, the more indestructible it is […] There's no other scientific definition of subjectivity than one that proceeds from the possibility of handling the signifier for purely signifying, not significant ends, that is, expressing no direct relation of the order of appetite […] the signifier, which is that it signifies nothing and is therefore always capable of yielding various meanings.
I take this to mean that the signifier "as such" (S) is separated by its formality from what is "signified" (s), and so, the appeal to the signifier (S) is an end in-itself, not a means to an end. An example is in religion, where the signifier "God" only refers to itself, and so is internally contentless. as an example, we may read hegel (1816):
<This proposition in its positive expression A = A is, in the first instance, nothing more than the expression of an empty tautology. It has therefore been rightly remarked that this law of thought has no content and leads no further.
https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/hl/hl409.htm
Thus, the signifier cannot signify anything other than itself (A is A), yet the internal content of A is also empty, so A is not-A. Hegel works this out by applying negativity to give identity totality, but Lacan resists totality, speaking of "set" (Ch. 14, Sct. 1):
<I said a set, I didn't say a totality. As a matter of fact, the notion of structure is analytic […] I think that you're well enough oriented to understand that the notion of structure is by itself already a manifestation of the signifier.

We can also compare Marx's structuralism against Baudrillard's poststructuralism, by looking at simulacrum. Marx insists upon a real relation in symbols:
<The fact that money can, in certain functions, be replaced by mere symbols of itself, gave rise to that other mistaken notion, that it is itself a mere symbol […] Lawyers started long before economists the idea that money is a mere symbol, and that the value of the precious metals is purely imaginary. This they did in the sycophantic service of the crowned heads, supporting the right of the latter to debase the coinage, during the whole of the middle ages, by the traditions of the Roman Empire and the conceptions of money to be found in the Pandects.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch02.htm
<the issue of paper money must not exceed in amount the gold (or silver as the case may be) which would actually circulate if not replaced by symbols […] Paper money is a token representing gold or money. The relation between it and the values of commodities is this, that the latter are ideally expressed in the same quantities of gold that are symbolically represented by the paper. Only in so far as paper money represents gold, which like all other commodities has value, is it a symbol of value.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch03.htm
Thus, money can only be "real" if it directly represents a proportion of gold or silver, to Marx. This distinction is older than Marx, however, such as in the work of Adam Smith (1776), who distinguishes between the "real" and "nominal" values of currency based in their relationship to exchange. For example, a currency which is depreciated by excess, loses its real value, while preserving its nominal (or "face" value). £1 is still £1, but may purchase less per unit. The £1 is constant, while its purchasing power is variable. This variability is the measure of its "real" value, since it represents what it can really exchange for, not what it denominates. For example, being a millionaire in America makes one really rich, while being a millionaire in Zimbabwe makes one poor. Equally, being a millionaire yesterday meant more than being a mPost too long.

My winter car.
I had a glace at the steam awards when logging in and while recognizing most of the games, I had only actually played one of them. Is it over for me?

>My winter car
Same. It's a grind but pretty fun. Might finally get a wheel/shifter/pedals

Picked up The Crust and The Outer Worlds 2 during the winter sale. The former is basically a typical factory sim combined with something like Surviving Mars. I got the latter to satisfy my itch for a singleplayer FPS.

How does Outer Worlds 2 compare to the first one? I really wanted to like that one, but couldnt.

- Always have a good earth

Alright OP here. I forgot to say it but besides the dream and the pic, please state a query! such as "what do I do about [insert problem]?" or stuff like that. So it'd be

>pic

Thank you ;-, this actually kinda gave me the positivity boost I needed
>>465
Alright, first let me tell you the type of reading I'm doing. One card represents your general situation, the next 3 represent potential "paths to victory" and the last one represents something to avoid.
>general situation
Picked The World, a very powerful card. Represents endings, success and opposite things finally becoming whole in a way that enriches both. So you're likely surfing the wave of some sort of fulfilling event, be it on an external or internal level. Something has successfully been manifested.

The "path to success" cards are page of cups reversed, 9 of wands and the high priestess reversed. This suggests that you likely need to get in touch with a neglected inner world and let yourself be vulnerable. Maybe you have some "ignored inner child" stuff going on too and could be good to revisit that sort of thing (actually kinda related to the newgrounds bit. Maybe there's a side of you that you repress or ignore out of fear of what others would say or think). 9 of wands suggests that you've been through a lot of hard work of hardship and are tired, but it also encourages you to keep on trucking. You need to be courageous and resilient and things will pay off. It also suggests you're also on the verge of getting something that you want (so you're kinda surfing a wave of fulfillment already and there's a nice chance you'll get to surf another such wave nearly right away, kino)

Is it necessary to put in my dream? I suck at recalling them

If you want you can just go with the query, but I feel I do better if there's a dream and a pic.
Also the dream doesn't have to be recent, it can be a dream you had when you were a kid or years ago for example. And it doesn't have to be a dream you fully remember either, a snippet (or a bunch of them if you want)will do.
And thanks! ;w,

O Deng Xiaoping é o menos retardado do fio da lusofonia, mas ele ainda é fundamental retardado porque a visão de mundo dele é indistinguível da do Sam Hyde.

Ele acredita que o material genético da população brasileria é a causa dos nossos problemas, que tudo deu errado porque o Brasil é uma colonia europeia tabajara, e que na verdade cristãos novos/cripto-judeus que mandam no país desde as capitanias hereditárias, e que por isso o país tá num eterno atraso. Ele claramente lê mais, mas o que ele lê é o mesmo lixo que o /pol/ster médio considera "conhecimento esotérico".

I 'member playing Nanosaur on a Mac in elementary school. I think you play as a laser armed, jetpack equippred raptor sent back in time to retrieve dinosaur eggs. Sadly I never finished it.

I also used to have the first Fossil Fighters on the DS. It's basically Pokemon but with various prehistoric animals. Even has its own dopey team rocket equivalent that eventually gets replaced by a world destroying threat.

I don't know enough about him to know if this is right (mostly because I find neofolk outside of Di6/C93 to be quite boring) but didn't he go through the anarchist to fascist meme but for real?

I feel the same way about Death in June, at least before he started making the same album but crappier and more derivative each time. When I listen it almost makes me forget how rightoids actually are and the end result of their beliefs because sort of like you said his albums capture that yearning for a lost age and way of life well. I remember during the first months of COVID which was my last year of high school when we locked down I would just sit in my room listening to But, What Ends? and dooming.

>>25626
It raises questions about how we'd be able to tell if a species had been domesticated and later feralized, or whether we would think to look for that. If you look at the wild types of many cultivars, there is not much to suggest they would be serviceable once domesticated.
