Stop consuming bourgeois food. Junk food, sodas, sweets, etc. are a bourgeois invention of the capitalist epoch made for addiction and profit that your body doesn't need. You must eat organic food, drink water and if you can, grow and hunt your own food.

>>stop doing the thing i don't like

Exactly. Stop being a capitalist, there is a better way.

 

How do you avoid eating prepackaged shit when its literally 90% of the grocery store?

 

>>27041

Fair question.

Get some heavy glass lunch containers with waterproof lids. They're like $10, borosilicate glass or whatever. Get plastic ones if you don't want to do this.

Fill it with healthy food you got in the supermarket during your weekly food shopping before you go out, or the night before.

Do what I do and throw that slop in there. Cooked pulses, nuts, raw chopped fruit and veg, leafy greens, piece of meat/fish/egg/cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sprinkle of seeds…..

Or do what others do and spend time making it pretty like a bento box, whatever…


Carry that with you during the day and stop eating the textured sugar hydrogenated oil that is in _everything_ in grocery stores. You will save so much money.

Hello, comrades. Yes, you, you fucking faggot. "We" (the party state) know, that you cook. Therefore we know that you have an incentive to post ITT, which is nothing else than leftyporg.org's attempt to share recipes.

Please don't be too much gay ITT, and stay on topic.

p.s.: the gunk and dirt are a feature, not a hindrance!

We start by putting like 2 different recipes, namely, "KAPUSKA" (Turkish cabbage recipe) and "SZÉKELY KÁPOSZTA" (Hungarian cabbage recipe) and mixing them into one.

INGREDIENTS:
sauerkraut (sour cabbage)
chopped onion (large)
3 chopped garlic
chopped hot salami
whole cumin (like a dozen)
whole peppers (like half a dozen)

Cooking? I bowl eat. From a large glass bowl.

Every bowl has:

1. A variety of raw or cooked produce of all kinds and colors.

2. peice of cooked fish in salted water, or boiled eggs, or a piece of cooked chicken from last night, or some other piece of protein.

3. chickpeas or any other pulses.

4. sprinkles of nuts or seeds of all kinds.

5. olive oil or any kind of cold pressed oil, poured heavy.

6. balsamic or cider vinegar to taste.

What's the best way to cook beans? I was thinking that roasting them could be good, using oil and stuff. A little change would be good.

 

>>29166

roasting something like al dente cooked pinto beans in oil and seasoning sounds extremely good. Like, maybe they aren't fully cooked but roasting will finsih them off? Totally get the need for a little change. I tried eating 90% cooked pinto beans to get a little chew and mouthfeel. Not a success. Just out of this world farting.

Best way to cook them is just to cook a lot and freeze portions imo.

 

>>29197
Roasting the surface does sound like the best option, yeah I was thinking about just increasing the amount of beans in my diet since they're cheap and nutritious. Gonna buy me a sack of dried ones online.

at that point why not just full mount or try for their back? pulling guard is the most braindead thing you can do in a street fight.

Interesting fact, but when you travel you actually end up in a different place than when you started.

I went to a volunteering camp where we studied permaculture and created a small sensory garden and I had never felt so alive. Now I'm depressed.

The incredibles and the boys fucking proved how much of a menace to society superheroes would be if they were part of public security and the way the boys showcased the constant infighting between these overglorified children with special gifts fucking verifies the idea that just offing them all would do more to put them(and everyone else that has to die from collateral damage or blatant abuse of power) out of their misery

 

>fictional story
>proving anything

 

>>29283
ok?
you know we don't actually have superheros right, OP

you can just see cops abusing irl and get that proven right,

 

>>29285
I wouldn’t say cops I would say cops and soldiers from NATO are the best replacements for superheroes

I mean think about it. Your average deployed soldier or cop is likely poorly trained and given more power to them than they can reasonably handle compared to say high ranking officers, swat team members and generals that actually can control themselves and are generally better respected. What you get are a bunch of homelanders everywhere hell there was even a college experiment testing how giving students access to power without proper handling of it would change how they approach people

It’s because he accurately portrays how destructive and emotionally immature most protagonists in media actually are. Something only evangelion did right with their portrayal not just of Shinji but the other characters as a whole whose traits wether overconfidence, ambition placed over community or just plane stupidity destroyed the lives and communities surrounding them and the way he devolves into an absolute fucking monster that’s abusing his status in the world he’s in is so painful it’s good and let’s me remember why avoid watching not just superhero shows but most new media in general because the protagonists are always like this but without actual consequences

dragon ball is smarter because goku putting people in danger through his selfishness and naivety is fully acknowledged & criticized but he is still portrayed as cool and likable in spite of it all

 

>>28946
The difference is he actually does do enough to take down foreign threats meaning to an extent some actions are justified but when they aren’t it is called out


Except for the relationship with his son lmao that’s always been terrible

 

>>28947
yeah but his son has always been a little weiner so it's understandable

 

>>28947
my point is more that "calling out tropes" characters & stories are lame to me

Apparently Marx originally planned to write 6 total volumes of Capital. Has anyone historically tried to "complete" where he left off?

 

That was his plan around the time of writing Grundrisse. He later compacted it to a 4 volume plan, with some planned bits for each of the volumes in the original plan being combined into each other or getting dropped entirely because there was no point in Marx writing about it. The first volume from this final plan was published during his lifetime. The manuscripts for the 2nd and 3rd volumes were edited by Engels after Marx's death and published. After Engels' death, all of the manuscripts and notebooks were inherited by the Second International, and Karl Kautsky working for them prepared and edited and published the research notes and manuscripts for the final volume in a 3-volume series as Theories of Surplus-Value [Theorien über den Mehrwert].

 

>>28357
It's also why the final volumes are so thicc. The different sections in them were meant to be separate books of their own.

 

>>28355
A mailing list was set up in the 90s for that purpose by Allin Cottrell and friends and immediately got derailed into all sorts of Marxish topics. Andrew Kliman was also there and threatened some critic with assrape IIRC.

 

>>28361
they didn't finish because they're pseuds

 

>>28362
False. They didn't even have a proper start. They were the most intelligent Marxists, completely dwarfing anybody marxblogging or marxpodcasting today.

people usually only think about format when compressing images

they never think about indexed coloring

consider. Same pic. same size. one only uses 24 colors and is only 435 kb. the other is 1.5mb and uses 254 colors. This isn't very significant because the photo is grayscale and doesn't use many colors in the first place. However…

Popular image formats usually have very good compression. Compare this to scanned documents, where PDF has proliferated, despite DJVU having objectively better compression and faster rendering by a wide margin.
Look at this random book from archive.org (https://archive.org/details/inferno00dant_2/). The DJVU looks much clearer than the native PDF with more than double the size and the PDF containing JPEGs has marginally more detailed illustrations at four times the size. The text of the DJVU looks crisper than that of both PDFs.
Most books on archive.org don't have DJVUs anymore, so I usually losslessly convert a directory of JPEG2K files to a PDF and transcode it to DJVU with this script:
#!/bin/sh
t=`mktemp`; d=`mktemp -d`
for i in $1/*.[Jj][Pp]2; do
  jpeg2ktopam $1|pamtotiff >$t &&
  tiff2pdf -o "$d/`basename $i|cut -d. -f 1`.pdf" $t
done
pdfunite $d/* $t &&
djvu2pdf $t > $2
rm $t; rm -r $d

This requires netpbm and pdf2djvu.

 

>>27859
I just did it because I thought it looked cool lol, I had already made it before the thread. I like how jpeg improves in some spots until it suddenly goes downhill massively, although that's mostly because the image has a weird quality already. jpeg wins in compression but it doesn't give any aesthetics like dithering or color reduction.
Although .avif is probably the best

 

>>27861
>aesthetics
I think what would help with aesthetics more than anything is an AI step when compressing. Reducing colors often leads to objects blending into each other or the background. Fixing this by hand takes a small eternity, so AI finding the borders of objects to find a setting with a given reduction of colors with little blending would be good.

And AI should also do a bit of phony coloring (not taking the nearest color from the reduced set) if that helps a lot against blending.

Oh and also, the AI should distinguish between things like machines and buildings on the one hand and organic structures on the other and apply something like the Bayer dither to the former and a less orderly dither to the latter.

 

>>27787
That's because dithering looks like shit and we have better displays now than we did in the 90s when color quantization was still a passable compression solution. But now we have jpeg.

Use jpeg instead and an encoder like mozjpeg for your Lenin portraits
