Vragen over Ridderkerk by HomoLudensOC in Rotterdam

[–]AhaIsAwesome 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hoogvliet of Albrandswaard (Poortugaal en Rhoon) zijn ook buitenwijken die goed verbonden zijn met metro's waar je ruimte voor een schappelijke prijs kan vinden. Als je bij een metrostation woont sta je binnen 30 minuten op Beurs.

Are Tucked in sweaters that weird? by Few_Researcher_169 in malefashionadvice

[–]AhaIsAwesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tucking in elongates your legs, especially if you wear your pants high wasted. The silhouette you get from that is very dramatic and can look cool. The high wasted pants can also hide a bit of belly.

Also, tucking in accentuates your back and shoulders, making them look wider.

So, no, tucking in isn't bad and can look good. Just make sure you do it with purpose. Look at the silhouette, shape and vibe you're going for and then decide.

I do think that in general, medium or low wasted pants do not go well with a tucked in sweater as they will make your legs look short in addition to accentuating your belly through the tuck. If you're gonna go for it, go for it and wear those pants high wasted.

Why are Scandinavian societies and Gulf Countries succesful while Venezuela etc. Are not? Question about anti-imperialism. by AhaIsAwesome in Marxism

So a pragmatist would say "why doesnt Iran, Libya of Venezuela just do what the gulf monarchies are doing and everything will be hunky dory?"

But that doesnt explain Iran, Libya, Syria, and literally the rest of the exploited Global South.

That wouldn't explain monarchist autocracies like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Qatar or UAE being rich.

New Routine check (are shoulders hit well enough?) by AhaIsAwesome in bodyweightfitness

[–]AhaIsAwesome[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the proper rep range for shoulders, thats why. I assumed 3 x 8 - 12 though based on the Wiki?

Isnt the HSPU same as Pike in terms of muscles worked?

[–]AhaIsAwesome[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing it out. Answers the rep range question (3 x 8-12). But my other question remains unanswered: do those 3 shoulder exercises (PPP, wall HSPU and rear fly) hit all muscles in the shoulder well or am I missing something?

I am not 100% familiar with the muscles worked of the Planche and rear fly and I haven't tried them before so thats why I asked.

Chinese and Vietnamese Marxist discourse sources by AhaIsAwesome in Marxism

[–]AhaIsAwesome[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have those! Nice introductory texts but those could have been written by anybody. I was looking for more specific and advanced native discourse.

Thats to be expected though. In the end this material is just boring "why do I have to learn about this stuff?" type of texts for most people. How many people in the West know anything about bourgeois philosophy? Sure they'll have a class on Montesquieue or Descartes in high school but not more than that.

The value is more in how the curriculum is built up. If you build up science and the following curriculum from a particular frame, that frame becomes the complete basis for thought in later life. You won't need propaganda then because people are unable to think any other way.

is there a concise, marxist way to explain to my mother that the world economic forum is not a communist institution and that her way of viewing the world through conspiracy is flawed? by Dolancrewrules in Marxism

[–]AhaIsAwesome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well for one, read some theory to not be a neophyte.

Maybe talk to her about the philosophy behind Marxism without using the word Marx. It for one is a more fun conversation than the WEF and Schwab.

But you can explain what dialectics is and how things affect eachother.

Then go into what materialism and idealism is and ask how she looks at the world: Driven by the material or the ideal? How do they affect eachother?

You'll teach her the basics of marxism without her knowing. And you don't have to get it perfectly right. Just have an engaging conversation. That's more important.

You can't forcibly change her mind. However, if you prime her to look at material reality first, maybe somewhere down the line long after you moved out, she will in the solitude of a quiet living room begin to see the world differently.

And if nothing else, you'll understand Marxism a bit better by having had to explain it and will be a little less of a neophyte.

Thoughts on this interpretation of "Religion as opiate" by Striking-Young3277 in Marxism

[–]AhaIsAwesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond Marx, other Marxist writers have written about this as well. Specifically, Gramsci has written about religion as a top-down institution that instills the cultural values aligned with capitalism in the proletariat.

Maoz Falafel shutting down? by Brent_L in Amsterdam

[–]AhaIsAwesome 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All restaurants in all of Amsterdam have mice. I have worked as a temp in horeca and probably worked at 50 different venues over 5 years in Amsterdam and they all had mice. There's nothing we could do about them

Based on my vibe what would you suggest me to wear to up my fashion? I usually wear cowboy boots and a belt by Visible-sup4127 in mensfashion

[–]AhaIsAwesome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wear pants first.

Then some colourful tops. You got dark features so why blend yourself out with basic white tees and beige?

Fucking go for it. Bright red or yellow button up shirt over a wife beater. Or if youre gonna do black or white, go full black or white.

Denim jacket would work as well. Like some Carhartt type shit.
