>>2502394Yeah and the pyramid scheme, speculation, investing, aspect is completely contrary to the one utility it has, which is as an alternative currency. The primary use of currency is for exchange, not speculation. The fact that increases in value so much makes it more useless as a method of exchange. Like I mentioned last thread the transaction costs are crazy high and it is designed to increase transaction costs as the scarcity increases.
If you really wanted to have an alternative currency that is an alternative to the dollar, it should only increase in price in equal proportion to inflation.
>>2502415https://www.navy.mil/Press-Office/News-Stories/Article/3097256/teddy-roosevelt-navy-medicine-and-the-birth-of-physical-readiness/>This new test gave officers the choice of completing one of three options: a fifty mile walk within three consecutive days and in total of twenty hours; a ride on horseback at a distance of ninety miles within three consecutive days; or a ride on a bicycle at a distance of 100 miles within three consecutive days. All personnel taking the test would be examined by a Navy Medical Board to determine whether the test may be taken without risk and report again to the board upon completion. Officers would not be promoted unless they passed the exam and their medical record would now include a fitness report.
>The Roosevelt endorsed physical fitness directive was issued as Navy General Order No. 6 on Jan. 4, 1909. As one newspaper put it, “This [order] will give the corpulent sea fighters who have long occupied swivel chairs an opportunity to get into fit condition for the ordeal.”https://www.usmcu.edu/Research/Marine-Corps-History-Division/Frequently-Requested-Topics/Historical-Documents-Orders-and-Speeches/Marine-Corps-Officers-Physical-Fitness/
>1. Officers of the United States Marine Corps, of whatever rank, will be examined physically and undergo the tests herein prescribed at least once in every two years; the time of such examinations to be designated by the Commandant of the Corps so as to interfere as little as possible with their regular duties, and the tests to be carried out in the United States between May first and July first, as the Commandant of the Corps may direct, and on foreign stations between December first and February first.
>2. All field officers will be required to take a riding test of ninety miles, this distance to be covered in three days. Physical examinations before and after riding, and the riding tests, to be the same as those prescribed for the United States Army by General Orders, No. 79 (paragraph 3), War Department, May 14, 1908.
>3. Line officers of the Marine Corps in the grade of captain or lieutenant will be required to walk fifty miles, this distance to be divided into three days, actual marching time, including rests, twenty hours. In battle, time is essential and ground may have to be covered on the run; if these officers are not equal to the average physical strength of their companies the men will be held back, resulting in unnecessary loss of life and probably defeat: Company officers will, therefore, be required, during one of the marching periods, to double-time two hundred yards, with a half minute’s rest; then three hundred yards, with one minute’s rest; and then complete the test in a two hundred yard dash, making in all seven hundred yards on the double-time, with one and one-half minutes’ rest. The physical examinations before and after the tests to be the same as provided for in paragraph 2 of this order.
>4. The Commandant of the Marine Corps will be required to make such of the above tests as the Secretary of the Navy shall direct.
>5. Field officers of the permanent staff of the Marine Corps who have arrived at an age and rank which renders it highly improbable that they will ever be assigned to any duty requiring participation in active military operations in the field, may, upon their own application, be excused from the physical test, but not from the physical examination, prescribed above. Such a request, however, if granted, will be regarded by the executive authority as conclusive reason for not selecting the applicant for any future promotion in volunteer rank, or for assignment, selection or promotion to a position involving participation in operations of the line of the Marine Corps, or in competition with officers of the line of the Marine Corps for any position.

i also kinda just think if leftists have money they should be using it towards preparing for the civil war and building power in their own community, not donating to faceless individuals on the internet that could very well be a glowie. buy a gun. if you have a gun, buy a bunker. if you have a bunker, find some friends and try to help them with those things. if you don't have any friends, find an organization you actually can get involved in and put your money towards that. internet donations are just throwing money into the void. learn from the mistakes of breadtube man.
>>2502544you should take a week or two off from activism and learn how to acquire and use stolen credit cards from the darknet or something. it's fairly easy and you can turn $300 into $5000 fast.
>>2502570>when you don't get enough donations and still have to make rent because politics is your dayjob, what happens next?In my personal, IRL life, right now, I know atleast 5 people who are unemployed. I used to have a full time job too. We're living in an economic collapse. If I didn't run a magazine, I would be homeless because there'd be no reason for people to donate to me, and that's the cold truth. I went to a taco bell interview and there was a line up of people looking for work, and no I didn't get a call back.
"just focus on your career and stop worrying about politics" feels like a bit of a cop out when my politics are the only reason I have food in my stomach, the career is not and has not been for a while. honestly if it wasn't for the fact that housing is so, so so expensive, just to live in a mf motel, I wouldn't really need donations nearly as much. Like, I have been considering for a while just *being homeless* because having the ability to sleep inside is too expensive, and too big of a resource drain on my organization when we need to be building actual infrastructure, the donations should be building this community pantry I'm organizing, not keeping me inside.
I'm very obviously not in this to get rich. There are never going to give me a nordvpn sponsorship, hell the Means.tv people have no desire to even give me a promo code despite pulling 20k readers a week because I'm too 'extreme' or whatever.
if it's fairly easy and you can turn $300 into $5000 fast, then simply send us the XMR when you do it, that's my take.
>>2502575>>2502577It's fairly easy to get away with credit card fraud if you cover your tracks and aren't the one actually stealing them. Linking the individual who stole a card and the individual using the card is nearly impossible if they're both using proper opsec.
>>2502597>if it's fairly easy and you can turn $300 into $5000 fast, then simply send us the XMR when you do it, that's my take.I think the "teach a man to fish" phrase holds true here. Teaching leftists how to generate their own income instead of spreading thin the existing wealth of the Left is something we need to take more seriously. Giving money to you might put food in your belly, but it's not advancing the interests of the Left in any meaningful way. Just like donating to homeless shelters doesn't actually solve homelessness.

>>2502655You seem to have written me a clever reply. But guess what? I don’t care and I didn’t ask. Here are all the ways I don’t care and didn’t ask:
First of all, I didn’t ask because, honestly, I’ve reached a point where I’m exhausted by the flood of unsolicited opinions. It’s like, everyone always has something to say, but where were these voices when I needed them? When I was navigating the darkest corners of my thoughts, where were the clever replies then? I can’t help but wonder if people take satisfaction in offering “helpful advice” just to hear the sound of their own voices, to feel important for a brief second, but the truth is, it’s all just noise. Noise that invades the quiet spaces of my mind, drowns out the things that actually matter.
I didn’t ask, because I’m tired. Tired of hearing what I should do, what I could do, what I might do. Every time someone tells me how to fix my life, it feels like a slap in the face. Do you think I haven’t been trying? Do you think I haven’t been desperately clawing my way through every day, just trying to stay afloat? Maybe I didn’t ask because I don’t need a roadmap to happiness, I need to figure it out on my own, in my own time, on my own terms. But no, apparently, that’s not allowed. I’m supposed to accept your clever little quips, your polished little pearls of wisdom, and pretend they’re the magic elixir that will make everything better. Sorry, that’s not how it works. I never asked for that.
I didn’t ask because, deep down, I know you don’t really get it. No one does. How could you? How could anyone truly understand the weight of every silent night, every tear that has gone unspoken, every doubt that gnaws at the edges of my existence? It’s not that I’m ungrateful or that I’m incapable of hearing constructive thoughts. But there’s a difference between offering help when it’s asked for and just imposing your ideas on me like I’m some kind of project, a puzzle to be solved. You don’t know my soul, the depths of it, how it’s shaped and reshaped by moments I can never explain. You couldn’t possibly, no matter how clever your reply.
And yet, you wrote to me as if you held the answers, as if your words could fix everything with a few carefully placed phrases. You think I haven’t been there? You think I haven’t scoured every self-help book, listened to all the podcasts, watched all the TED talks that promise me a breakthrough, a moment of clarity? But every time I try to reach for those elusive solutions, they slip through my fingers like sand. It’s not that I don’t want to change, or that I don’t crave peace. But sometimes, I wonder if it’s all just… too much. Too much to bear, too much to process, too much to comprehend. And here you are, offering up advice like it’s a simple thing, a quick fix, an easy answer. But it’s not. It’s never that simple.
I didn’t ask because I’m tired of being told what to feel. Every day, I get bombarded with expectations, assumptions, judgments. People tell me how I should feel about something, how I ought to react, how I must move forward. But what if I don’t feel any of that? What if, at this moment, I’m just… stuck? What if, at this moment, I’m not ready to move forward, and I don’t have the energy to pretend I am? When did it become a crime to be uncertain, to not have all the answers? Why is it that people feel the need to fill the gaps in my emotional state with their unsolicited advice, like they have some sort of divine knowledge of my inner workings? I don’t need your clever reply. I don’t need your “insightful” commentary. What I need is the space to feel what I feel, to process in my own way, without being rushed or judged.
I didn’t ask because it’s tiring, oh so exhausting, to constantly be expected to respond to everything that’s thrown at me. The world keeps spinning, faster and faster, and I’m just trying to keep up. But it’s a marathon I never signed up for. It’s like everyone around me is running their race at breakneck speed, and I’m stuck at the starting line, too out of breath to move, too confused to even know where to start. Yet, here you are, on the sidelines, offering me pointers on how to run the race better. As if your words can somehow change the fact that I’m barely standing at all. You don’t understand the weight of the burdens I carry. And maybe you think you do, maybe you think that because you’ve read a book or two or you’ve had your own struggles, that somehow makes you an expert on my experience. But it doesn’t.
And maybe it’s not your fault. Maybe you’re just trying to help. Maybe you think that by giving me advice, you’re showing you care. But I don’t need advice. I don’t need another person telling me how to live my life, how to find peace, how to let go. Because the truth is, all of that advice, no matter how well-meaning, is just another way of telling me that my feelings aren’t valid. That I’m supposed to follow a script that someone else wrote for me, that I’m supposed to fit into the neat little box of what it means to “heal.” But that’s not the reality I live in. The reality is messy, and it’s complicated, and it’s painful. And sometimes, I just need someone to understand that. I don’t need someone to give me a solution. I just need someone to sit with me in the discomfort, to acknowledge the weight of what I’m carrying, even if they don’t know how to fix it.
So, to be clear, I didn’t ask. I didn’t ask for your advice, for your perspective, for your clever reply. What I asked for—what I’ve been asking for all along—is to be heard. To be seen. Without judgment. Without solutions. Just… to exist in my own space, in my own time, without feeling like I have to justify my thoughts, my feelings, my process. Because sometimes, all I need is to be able to say I don’t know, and for that to be okay. Sometimes, the most helpful thing someone can do is just listen. Not to fix, not to offer guidance, but to truly listen. So that’s where I’m at. I didn’t ask, and I don’t need a clever reply. But I do need to be understood.
I don't care. I didn’t ask. The sheer audacity of someone assuming I need advice is enough to make me want to scream into the void. I didn’t ask because I didn’t want your clever little nuggets of wisdom—trust me, I have my own set of thoughts, questions, and frustrations I’m trying to navigate. But here you are, offering a neat little bow of advice, as if your perspective is the magic bullet that will make everything better. But it’s not. It’s never that simple. So why are we even here?
You wrote me that reply like you had the answers, like a few well-placed sentences could untangle the mess that I’ve spent countless sleepless nights trying to figure out. Do you really think that’s how it works? Do you think that offering a perfectly crafted response, neatly tucked into a paragraph, can erase years of confusion, heartache, and doubt? Maybe you do. Maybe you think that because you’re good with words, because you’ve had your own share of struggles, that suddenly you’re qualified to solve my problems. But that’s not how this works. You don’t get to fix me with your clever retorts or your trendy, pop-culture wisdom. I didn’t ask for it. In fact, I actively didn’t ask for it.
It’s funny, isn’t it? How people always have something to say, no matter what. No one ever seems to stop and ask, “Is this person ready to hear this?” Instead, they just unload their unsolicited advice like it’s the most important thing they could offer. I didn’t ask because I’m so tired of advice. Every day, I’m bombarded with “helpful” suggestions, with people telling me how I should feel, how I should act, how I should think. But here’s the thing: I’m not you. Your life, your struggles, your worldview—none of that is mine. So why should I take your words as gospel? Why should I let your version of “solution” overwrite my own, even if my solution feels messier, more chaotic, or just… different? You don’t get to decide that for me.
And don’t even get me started on how often I hear people talk about “fixing” things like it’s as easy as flipping a switch. As if I just need to take their words, paste them onto my life, and poof—everything will be better. Do you even know how many times I’ve heard that one? “You should meditate!” “You should journal!” “You should just stop worrying about it!” Yeah? Well, I’ve tried those things. I’ve tried everything. But it’s not that simple. It never is. And every time someone tells me how I should do something, how I must find the solution, it’s like another brick gets added to the wall of frustration I’m already building around myself. So no, I don’t need your clever reply. I didn’t ask. I’ve already tried what you’re telling me.
Here’s the thing: it’s not that I don’t appreciate that you care. Maybe you think your clever words are an offering, some form of compassion. But what you don’t realize is that compassion doesn’t always look like offering advice. Sometimes, compassion means sitting with me in silence, letting me exist without pressure, without expectation. Sometimes, compassion means respecting that I don’t have it figured out and that I don’t need you to tell me how to fix it. That’s the problem, isn’t it? You think you’re helping, but in reality, you’re just adding to the noise in my already crowded mind.
The truth is, I didn’t ask because I’m exhausted. Exhausted from constantly trying to be everything for everyone, exhausted from hearing the same recycled advice in a million different forms. “It’ll get better,” they say. “Things will turn around.” But no one ever talks about the in-between time. The time where nothing makes sense, the time where the answers don’t come, the time where all you can do is sit there, waiting for some semblance of clarity that may never come. That’s the time I’m in right now. And no matter how clever your reply is, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m in that space. It doesn’t make it go away.
And don’t even get me started on the judgments. Everyone has something to say about how I should be handling this, why I should be handling this differently, when I should be moving on. But what people fail to understand is that they don’t know me. They don’t know my life, my history, my struggles. They see a few surface-level details and think they can draw conclusions, but they can’t. They don’t know the real story. They don’t see the late-night thoughts, the battles with my own reflection, the moments where I wonder if I’ll ever be enough. Yet, somehow, they think they can just fix me with their clever words, with their answers that only apply to their own lives.
And you know what? It’s exhausting. It’s exhausting to keep explaining that I’m not where they think I should be. It’s exhausting to keep saying, “No, this isn’t working, I need something different.” Because no matter how many times I say it, no matter how many times I try to explain that my journey doesn’t look like anyone else’s, it feels like the world doesn’t hear me. It feels like I’m just shouting into the abyss, begging for someone to understand, to just listen, without trying to fix or judge. So no, I didn’t ask for your clever reply. I didn’t ask for your perspective, your solution, your way of thinking. What I asked for was the space to figure it out on my own. To be allowed to be a work in progress, without the constant pressure to “do better” or “be better.”
At the end of the day, I didn’t ask. And I’m tired. Tired of hearing what I should do, how I should feel, who I should be. So, if you really want to help me, here’s a thought: just let me be. Let me sit in my uncertainty, let me wallow in my confusion, let me exist in my own way. Because sometimes, all I need is someone to sit in the silence with me, not offer a clever reply, but just acknowledge that I’m here. That’s it. Nothing more. That’s all I really need. So, no, I didn’t ask. But maybe, just maybe, if you actually listened, you’d hear that.
>>2502669I don't care. I didn’t ask. I’m done. Just flat-out done with the endless parade of advice, unsolicited suggestions, and constant reminders that someone out there always knows what’s best for me. Seriously, who decided that you get to be the one to fix me? When did the collective wisdom of the world get distilled into a few overused catchphrases and bullet-pointed lists that somehow everyone believes can solve every problem? “Just stay positive!” “Everything happens for a reason!” Yeah, well, I didn’t ask for that. And guess what? It doesn’t work. I’m not looking for easy answers or quick fixes. I’m not asking you to swoop in and simplify everything in my life with a little snappy phrase. So no, I didn’t ask for your clever reply.
I didn’t ask because the truth is, I don’t need to hear your solution. I don’t need to hear what you would do if you were in my shoes. Why? Because you’re not in my shoes. You haven’t lived my life. You haven’t felt the way I’ve felt, walked the paths I’ve walked, been beaten down by the same kind of struggles that have me questioning everything. I don’t need your opinion because I’m living this. I’m in it. Every day. And no matter how many times you tell me to “think positive” or “look on the bright side,” it doesn’t change the fact that some days I’m just trying to survive. You can’t fix that with a clever reply, no matter how witty or insightful you think it is. I didn’t ask for it.
And honestly, it feels like everyone is constantly telling me what I should do. What I must do to feel better, to get my life together, to fix myself. But you don’t understand what it’s like to live in this constant state of being “broken,” of feeling like you’re not quite fitting into the picture everyone else sees for you. You don’t know what it’s like to try, again and again, to change things about yourself only to fall short, only to realize that you are the one left with the aftermath of every failed attempt. I didn’t ask for you to try to tell me what to do, because I’ve been doing my best. I’m tired of hearing about it. I’m tired of hearing that all I need is to just do this one thing and it’ll all be fixed. That’s not how it works. It’s more complicated than that, and I didn’t ask for your simplistic take.
You know what? I didn’t ask because it’s draining. It’s exhausting to feel like I’m constantly being graded on my life. Every conversation, every encounter, feels like an assessment. “Did you do this? Did you do that? Have you tried this?” It’s like I’m just a project for everyone to evaluate. I don’t need you to check my progress. I don’t need your judgment. I don’t need to hear how I should be doing something different because honestly, at this point, I’m just trying to make it through the day without falling apart. Sometimes, that’s the best I can do. And you know what? That’s okay. I didn’t ask for you to tell me I should be doing more or doing it better.
And let's be clear here—there’s nothing wrong with offering help when it’s asked for. But did I ask? No. No, I didn’t. So why are you assuming I need your input? I didn’t ask because I’m already overwhelmed with the noise of the world. The constant stream of opinions and advice. It’s all so much. I can’t hear myself think over the clamor of what everyone else thinks I should be doing with my life. It’s like I’m drowning in a sea of well-meaning but completely irrelevant words. And here you come, dropping another lifeline, but instead of helping, it just adds to the weight. Another voice telling me how I’m “supposed” to be. I don’t need that. I didn’t ask for it.
And this might sound harsh, but let me say it anyway: I didn’t ask because, at some point, I’ve come to realize that I don’t trust these solutions anymore. I’ve tried them all. Meditation, mindfulness, positive affirmations, journaling, therapy, diet changes, exercise… and still, here I am. Trying to get by, doing my best, feeling lost, and still receiving advice like it’s the one thing that’s going to save me. But it doesn’t. It doesn’t solve the problem. It doesn’t fix the hole in my chest or erase the frustration that has built up like a wall around me. No amount of “clever replies” can change that. And you know what? I’m tired of pretending that they can.
And you—yes, you—want to be part of this parade of “solutions.” You’ve got your clever little reply, a message that’s supposed to make everything click into place. But you don’t know me. You don’t know where I’ve been. You don’t understand the half of it. And that’s okay. You don’t have to. But don’t come in with your perfect little words thinking you have the key to unlocking something in me. Because if I had that key, don’t you think I’d be using it already? If I had the solution, I’d already be out of this mess. So, no, I didn’t ask for your clever reply.
Here’s the thing: I didn’t ask because, deep down, I know that I need to find my own way. I don’t need someone to tell me how to feel or what steps to take. What I need is time. Space. Patience. The freedom to just be, without everyone else’s expectations weighing me down. I didn’t ask because I need room to breathe, room to make my own mistakes, to figure it out at my own pace. Maybe you think that’s a flaw, but it’s not. It’s real. And until you’ve lived it, until you’ve been inside the head of someone trying to figure out their life, maybe it’s time to just… be quiet. Maybe it’s time to stop offering advice and just let me be who I am, where I am. Because I didn’t ask. And that’s okay. I don’t need anything else.
So, here’s the bottom line: I didn’t ask. And I don’t need to hear it again.

https://www.chamberofcommerce.org/income-needed-for-rent-2023>More than one-third (34.6%) of households in the U.S. rent homes, according to the Census Bureau. Depending on the city they live in, many of these renters are facing payments of more than $1,500 per month for a one-bedroom apartment. In fact, 46 cities within our analysis have a median rent of $1,500 or more, while 32 cities have a median rent of $2,000 or more.
>According to our analysis, renters would need to earn $60,000 or more in order to afford rent within these cities.
>However, the top seven most expensive cities on our list require a median income of at least $100,000 or more in order to afford a one-bedroom rental.I really don't know what position are you guys trying to argue, that it's not expensive as fuck to rent in these cities and states?
>>2502761>20k left overWhat the actual fuck are you spending it on if not "nice things"
You could put 50% down on a house in a decent place if you saved for 5 years on this, less if you cut back on fucking doordash 2x daily, the hell is wrong with people

>>2502821No, they were arguing with the data I posted. I'm really sick and tired of you seething foreignoids. It's retarded enough dealing with the stupid regional divides in the country.
>>2502805>is that income per household? per person? retarded map with no meaningful symbology, is this the sort of shit burgeroids use to feel like little babies while they self-inflict their own wounds by distributing chamber of commerce infographics??I never said $130k isn't enough to live comfortable pretty much anywhere in the US. But it's a lot less than you think when you factor in cost of living. It's also not just a matter of move somewhere else always, because you might not be able to make that wage if you move to a cheaper area. In fact the places with the most cost of living growth are all those places people moved to escape high costs of living. It's all a game of musical chairs and there is always less and less chairs.
>>2502859You lost your last pair?
So how can I send you money? How much would a sturdy pair of shoes cost you?
>>2502761Average yearly cost for cars (gas, insurance, maintence, etc.) is 10k, so clearly understating it (didnt even include gas in their costs like what?)
Also for anyone interested in that position, jobs with that high of pay need a degree, by extention student loans, which can really consume your money.
Obviously still 130k at that point is alot and you can make it work – just to highlight since it's rare to make that kind of money anyway

DOJ going after PSL with serious charges
Justice Department sues individuals involved in demonstration at NJ synagogue
The lawsuit invokes a rarely used provision prohibiting individuals from using force or threats to prevent another person’s exercise of the right to worship
https://jewishinsider.com/2025/09/justice-department-civil-suit-congregation-ohr-torah-new-jersey-synagogue/The Department of Justice filed a civil suit on Monday against several protesters and anti-Israel groups for their involvement in a demonstration at a New Jersey synagogue, Congregation Ohr Torah, last November.
The DOJ complaint alleges that the Party for Socialism and Liberation-New Jersey, American Muslims for Palestine-New Jersey and six individuals engaged in physical assaults and antisemitic and threatening chants, as well as defying police orders.
The complaint alleges that the defendants broke through a police line, marched onto synagogue property and attempted to physically block Jewish worshippers from entering the synagogue.
Two are accused of using vuvuzelas — large plastic horns typically used at sporting events — as a “weapon reasonably known to lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss,” blowing them inches from one attendee’s ear with the intention of causing “serious bodily harm.” One of the same defendants allegedly physically tackled another attendee, grabbed his throat and put him in a chokehold. Another also reportedly “deployed a stink bomb” to obstruct access to the synagogue.
According to the complaint, the event was originally set to take place in a private home, but was relocated to the synagogue “due to credible threats of violence from certain Defendants.” One of the defendants was recorded on camera delivering a threatening letter to that private home, and the home address was posted online.
The complaint alleges that these actions were intended to intimidate Jewish worshipers and prevent their participation in religious observance, in violation of federal law, and that comments captured on video indicate they were motivated by antisemitic animus.
The complaint states that the vuvuzela sounds overpowered the memorial service and Torah sermon.
The suit was brought under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, traditionally used against those who block access to abortion clinics, but which also includes provisions barring the use of force, threats, intimidation or physical obstruction to interfere with the right to worship.
>>2502929I mean fuck israel of course all that yada yada but it's always bad optics and generally uncouth to get that intense at a site of worship.
Like I get it, they're zionists, but there are much smarter ways to do this lol
>>2502945plenty of people in china don't have to cook for themselves because eating out at restaurants every single day is so affordable. In fact I think it's pretty normal, historically, not to want to short order cook for yourself *every single day*. Most of history is us cooking for a ton of people all at once, and that kind of being our whole job for the day.
Coming home after work and then having to fucking cook sucks fat dick most of the time. I still do it because I'm poor but damn dude.
$200 short on room rent, thanks to one anon and the cash in our shop account.
https://www.paypal.me/jakobbrown2If you can spare anything, it really does help so much! Like its hard to state!
>>2502948I'm not saying you gotta cook yourself a 4 course meal. I'm gonna live longer because I choose to subsist on rice and beans instead of burgers and fries. It's literally toss some frozen veggies and a can of beans into a pot, and cook some rice in a rice cooker. EZ PZ. If you cook enough at once you can feed yourself for a whole week for way less than you would spend at McDickholes.
Yeah we should have a more collective culture where we cook for each other. I have a multigenerational household, I get that.
>>2502953I remember when Elon Musk bragged about how he calculated the cheapest food in college to save money and it was beans and rice? It was like almost a brag about how smart he was because he did a spreadsheet or something
But he didn't have to do that, he has always been rich, and also that's not being smart, that's autism
>>2502948Buy a chest freezer. There's small enough ones for single people.
Buy a few good glass tupperware sets.
Buy a nice large stock pot.
Find some online recipes for soup, curry, stew, chili
Spend one day every other weekend stocking your freezer by cooking 4x recipes (since this is for a single person, that's enough for like 16 meals, or maybe 8 american size meals)
>>2503045Based
>>2503047Tina and sardines are always a go to for me especially if they come pre packaged in hot sauce (they make for good fish tacos)
>>2503045>>2503051Tuna chunks with finely chopped tomatoes
Tuna chunk in mayo in bread
Great cheap food
Latin America is the world's farm.
Africa is the world's mine.
Eurasia is the world's factory.
India is the world's office.
America is the world's police.
Until this dynamic changes, you will not get re-proletarianization and re-industrialization in the USA, and you will not get class consciousness in the USA, and you will not get revolution in the USA

>>2503084I wish I had the opportunity to taste it and I'll admit I'm too lazy to try and make (what I'm assuming is a modern recipe) myself. I like regular fish sauce and I'm assuming its somewhat similar.
The food rich people ate was always pretty fascinating to me. I wonder what the modern bourgeois version of doormice is.

>>2503174That says the Dems voted to shut it down.
https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-updates-9-30-2025They just adjourned for the night so it's going to shut down in 2hrs20m.
>>2503177I guess 4hr20m? I guess it's by West Coast time?
https://www.whitehouse.gov/government-shutdown-clock/I like how their website has a ticker with one item. Real big brain.
>>2503167Unfortunately yes (but in a very hypocritical manner), and in the most moronic way possible too. That whole is still hot years after it began, but that part is unsurprising considering there is wasn’t a proper resolution to it.

>>2503044 >>2503018even assuming they are pathetic LARPers, organizing a LARP group consistently and having them show up for events is a logistical minimum i have seen many haughty little sectarian orgs completely fail to do. how does the organization youre with handle this kind of thing? whats the turnout and retainment rate like?
more specifically: 1. i specifically mentioned that this press is overstating the relevance and significance of these groups 2. they do not even present themselves as a party or any kind of major force, they are GUN CLUBS, social groups, honest about what theyre doing. i wish half the "parties" ive checked out in the past had half this humility to acknowledge that they are functionally reading groups and social clubs
i dont care if youre just shitposting it is pathetic how many people come on here to post demoralization criticizing anyone who actually does ANYTHING. even just actually reading the theory thats referenced gets mocked and criticised as useless bourgeois intellectualism
I would at least like a leftist gf to take my virginity before the nukes kill us all. Any takers?
Email me especially if you live in cali:

if Houdini is allowed to advertise so am I thank you to the 1 lady in this thread for reading and hopefully replying so I don't have to die fuckless and poor.
>>2503194boyo, it's for federal employees, and in some specific areas only. i.e. the fbi, cia, dni, nsa or the pentagon will not see a shutdown ever.
if you are forest ranger, or a USPS grunt, you'll get the heat.
>>2503260in my experience the opposite is true. discord kittens love a shitposter that can make them laugh.
that said, every ban i've collected on this site was for antisemitism. and I'm not even an antisemite, I love bagels. basically i did nothing wrong.
>>2503265i'm really bad at making friends irl, talking to strangers is tough.
i'd rather have someone i meet online and then we organize a irl date down the line, seems much more comfy.
of course i am a virgin so clearly it isnt working.
>>2503293I didn't expect him to do anything much more than his first term so maybe he did more than I expected. Nationalizing Intel is kind of crazy. Obama wouldn't nationalize the banks when they were begging for a bailout.
The MAGAComs were fucking right.

It's just 2024 Hillary Clinton, except Kamala possible didn't rape babies but instead has generational aura debt.
>>2503270>I work two jobs and live inland.Be glad that the activist class and PMC are doing all the hard work then. Or PMC students. Or "civil society" orgs. Or student movements. Or mainstream affiliated unions. Or "journalists" and "content creators". After all, you have to work for a living.
While the charitable and idealistic nature of their occupation produces perfect court eunuchs. Untainted by the harsh realities of the law breathing down your neck or financial insecurity. You would not get it, and your material attachments would corrupt their lofty goals AND means. THey'd be talking about real important things like "the planet" or "the biosphere" or big tent
idpol intersectional issues like racial wealth gaps and minority rights. And there you are, talking about *your* rent and *your* work and *your* mortage… Like this is just about you!
And who would pay for *you* to throw cornstarch at Stonehenge anyway? nobody. So you'd just be bringing their funding down to address these most important issues.
However, worry not. I got word that "
Gen Z" is gonna do great things all around, and carry Luffy flags.You are already being represented in the (philantropy funded) struggle.
>>2503311>>2503302>>2503295I think it's a 🔥🔥🔥 idea BTW. I've been pitching this idea on leftypol for years. I've been posting about the Chinese Citic and trying to research more how their SOE stuff works. But I think that using the existing market mechanisms to buy shares of companies is the most obvious way to nationalize a company, and you're not even strong-arming the company at all(not that it would be wrong to of course, just saying you can't even claim it's like some kind of commie persecution. You're just using the rules of the market.) I've been saying too, that the obvious route would be to start nationalizing companies in order of most in the "interest of national defense." So Boeing, Raytheon, these companies whose only customer is the government, why do they need to be private?
Now motherfucker Trump is setting the damn precedent for American SOEs. He just did it, and they just bitched for a little while, then everyone moved on because the news cycle is fast with Trump. Imagine if we had a leftist president with the same balls as Trump?
>>2503328Biden could've nationalized Intel like Trump did! Instead he just gave them money!
>The Biden administration provided Intel with up to $7.865 billion in grants under the CHIPS Act, along with up to $11 billion in federal loans and access to a 25% investment tax credit, all as part of a larger agreement to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Initially, in March 2024, Intel received a preliminary agreement for up to $8.5 billion in funding, which was later finalized at $7.865 billion upon completion of due diligence, with the difference due to Intel also receiving a separate award for microelectronics for the Department of Defense
<FILE- Intel's Jones Farm Campus in Hillsboro, Ore., July 8, 2025. Chipmaker Intel has agreed to give the U.S. government a nearly 10% stake in its business. Intel, which has a major research and development campus in Hillsboro, Oregon, said in a statement the U.S. government will buy $8.9 billion in Intel common stock.8 BILLION FOR NOTHING?!
9 BILLION FOR A 10% STAKE?!
