My Dad is spending a concerning amount of his time getting into internet arguements, and recently I warned him about getting addicted to debate, and he doesn't believe me that's a thing.

I want to know the academia on this really hard to search engine search subject so next time I catch him being like this I can present him with credible sources about this.
I used to be a debate addict too and the only thing that pulled me out was just burning out on it. I don't wanna have to watch others go through that.

my relative got addicted to calling into radio shows and arguing by spouting boomer Fox News talking points

internet usage can be an addiction, a disease from our LIQUID TIMES

>>22842
It seems like it's what one is doing on the internet that is addictive rather than the internet itself. Like I never feel like I have to log on / stay on stuff like mastodon, neocities, or cohost before cohost went read only. Whereas I've had moments where I decided to postpone going for a walk / procrastinated on a chore because I had to see if someone I was arguing with responded yet on an imageboard or twitter back when I used to use twitter. There's a unique flavor of addreneline to it.

>>22843
this. People like to blame the Internet for personal problems, especially youth problems, but the same problems of Internet patronage could be found in other media formats.

AKA the second brain.
I've been fighting gut problems for ~2 years now, which have been the worst years in my life.

I want to start a thread on this topic. Partly to vent, but also to share and exchange information on this topic.
I've tried trusting doctors but it's lead to long, arduous, and expensive treatment that lead to no positive results and only worse symptoms as they pumped me full of antibiotics and PPIs leading to further infection from opportunistic bacteria and fungi.

Of the protocols I've followed (that aren't from a doctor), I've tried:
>Super Gut (Dr. William Davis)
Which uses natural anti-biotics/fungals alongside cultured "yogurt" which is used to multiply the dose of probiotic colonizing bacteria
>Grow a New Body by Alberto Villoldo
He's a bullshit Shamanic healer but he cites studies on certain parts of the program.
The jist is a combination of lengthy fasts (20-22hrs), low carb diet for ketosis alongside culturing Saccharomyces Boulardii in Cider to make Hard Apple Cider with a significantly larger number of probiotic yeasts in order to combat Candida infestation.

Try taking probiotics specifically for IBS while and following the antibiotics course.

Most critiques of society mention the school system, and describe it as an authoritarian nightmare. I have to assume that people with this viewpoint are from older generations because I (born early 2000s) did not find school oppressive at all. The "education" I received was questionable but that's another matter.

Most people I speak to unironically say school is "the best years of your life".
They downplay/dismiss the restrictions placed on students as exaggerating some even say it's necessary.

Yet these same adults will complain about work which has far more important impact on society and bitch about basic moral conduct rules.


>I have to assume that people with this viewpoint are from older generations because I (born early 2000s) did not find school oppressive at all.



Maybe because you don't care or actually fall for the meme of school as an essential social club.
The problem with schooling is that it's all based around forced socialisation

Adults claim that school is about learning but it's not
Smart kids who prefer to work alone are pathologised as rebellious.
Group projects are common despite the disastrous results.

>>22968
Authoritarian is a silly word that has become used so much I'm not sure what it means anymore, or if it's good or bad.

Let's put it this way instead:
Were you at school by choice?
Were you allowed to leave?
Were you allowed to call the teacher a dusty old cunt?
Were you allowed to opt out of lessons you didn't want to do?
There are plenty more examples I can think of, but those will do for now. From my own experience, a non-zero number of people who work at schools have either already worked in prisons & young offenders institutes, or go on to work in them. Take from this what you will.

Also that video is peculiarly American.

>In the article he says he wants to live in Westwood. While I understand wanting to live close to campus, that’s a pretty expensive area. UCLA is in a very nice expensive part of Los Angeles. I visited UCLA for a job once, and most of. The faculty I spoke with commuted from other parts of Los Angeles. At that time UCLA also had programs to help faculty buy housing.

>That said, his salary is very low. 70k was lower than the salaries being discussed when I interviewed there 20 years ago!

Imagine how it is for all the people in LA making less than 70k. He should go live in the hood.

LA has no future. How are they going to fix the housing? If they fixed housing they'd totally need to revamp the transportation to accommodate how many more people would move there. Also need to create a lot more jobs.

After three months of labor, I present you the current state of the translation project of the french Black Book of Capitalism from 1998.

The raw traduction is completed, the work is in the process of being proofread to enhance the general english level. So far two benevolent English speakers manifested their interest in this endeavour, one of them already corrected the Foreword and Introduction.

Gitea of the Black Book of Communism: https://git.leftypol.org/latexanon/bboc
If you download the whole deposit and run it trough a Tex editor, a whole book appears! Credits to LaTex Anon for this magic

This thread will be used as a hub to update the progressively the book with the proofreader's input, but also to sketch the specification of an enhanced edition of the BBOC, as well as gathering material in this regard, because after a few more decades of neoliberalism, some updates would be welcome. Furthermore as some people remarked, the book is far from exhaustive.

bump. gitea is down, but luckily I still have a local copy of the repository. perhaps we should give proofreading another go?

Reformatted it so that it was easier to read and it looks more clean. Expanded on a few sections. Added some new sections, though some pages of them are yellow, to indicate its on the chopping block whether they will continue to be left. Created new cover. While cool looking, its kinda hard to see where the name is, so thats probably changing, but I thought a temp cover wouldn't hurt. I will say that those who are complaining it isn't funny, I didn't really focus on that, so it might again be eh. Give your insights on what you read. Give suggestions for any other topics that could be addressed.
Thank you

the style definitely resembled a self help book by an amateur writer. It's filled with irrelevant fluff that in this style is probably just there to give a little ethos boost to the author. I don't think it really adds anything but it fits the style so as a satire it works.

You have many grammatical errors, and i'd urge you to give this pdf to a literate friend of yours to proof-read, so they can point out all the passages with weird phrasing or messed up punctuation. Try to put a noun and a verb in each sentence. When you ramble (presumably for a hook?) keep your point in mind and don't seem like you're rambling.

I agree with the first anon who said to either make this a poster (for the purpose of actually spreading good info some people need on food, exercise, hygiene, sleep, and i'd add in skincare and mental health self-care tbh cause u know ppl are out there not having enough mental health lol) or an actual book where u go into more depth. But tbh i take it as it is, it's a funny little project. Idk, it is what it is but you should polish it up some so it doesnt come off like its written by an illiterate or an elementary school student.

we had strength and conditioning class… as well as preparation for the presidential fitness tests and things like that

You can just call me retarded anon, its fine

Can someone reupload the pdf please?
