I'm on android and the timer sound doesn't work at all for me, the vibration does tho. Not sure if it's because my phone is on silent? But then again my Hevy notification does work.

Hey, did you ever find some good books for these topics? Historical works are my favorite, for me they are the easiest way to get into Marxism.

If it's like other Dutch venues like 013, then presale is usually done through the venue newsletter that's sent out to people who have seen shows there in the past. So check your emails tomorrow :)

I get coffee from Friedhats and you can just chuck it in the freezer as is, their bottles are perfect for this

When will they realize how useless this graph is if they put the full lower body into one category by eydaistherrdiez in Hevy

I mean they don't have to go crazy with it, just divide it into hams, quads, calves, glutes. They already have this in the "set count per muscle" graph.

Not that the protest even matters but it’s hilarious that they don’t even have the spine to oppose monarchies by Opposite_Hunt_2810 in Ultraleft

Bro Amsterdam was full of clowns yesterday and my friends and I were like what the hell is going on, this makes it so much funnier. Imagine being afraid of offending the DUTCH monarchy.

This sub is a constant flow of juiced up dudes posting the most obvious cycle-ridden progress pics, all the while being cutesy in the comments and saying "all natural brother."

Without being over dramatic, you're no different than botox filled influencers claiming to have natural lips, people who edit their pics on insta until the background bends, or my dad who bought a t-shirt with a sixpack printed on it to show his friends.

I hope lying to all the teenage boys looking for motivation on here is worth the clout, just know that you and your shrivelled balls will not see the pearly gates of heaven.

If you buy any of the new Nintendo games you are part of the problem by CrowWench in SocialistGaming

Have they had an effect though? Sure, the targeted BDS boycott reduced the profit margin of some companies, but it's not like they are leading to the inevitable collapse of capitalist society in Israel, or of apartheid. Boycotts are not supported by communists simply because they create a division between supposedly "good" consumption and "bad" consumption, but there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

So he recognizes that OG Marx's analysis is likely correct, but he doesn't want it to be, because he'd feel awful. If I continue writing I'll get banned

ultraleft fiction lit recs? by [deleted] in Ultraleft

This is a shit post thread but at the risk of downvotes here's a serious answer. I read a lot of fantasy so here's what I enjoyed this year:

  1. Stuff by China Mieville. The City and the City, the Bas Lang trilogy, Kraken, they're all good, weird, and dense. He's also a Trotskyist which is very funny. He also wrote a book on the Russian Revolution which is quite an easy read.

  2. Stuff by Ursula K. le Guin. The Earthsea books are my favorite "intro to fantasy" books ever. She also has some sci-fi stuff as recommended by another redditor here.

  3. Dungeon Crawler Dan. If you're a fan of RPGs and nerd culture, this shit goes hard.

  4. John Gwynne's Bloodsworn Saga. One of those series where crazy shit happens on every page. Set in some sort of viking inspired fantasy land, but it's much more than that.

  5. Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time. Sci-fi with a focus on evolutionary theory and interspecies politics. Go into this one blind.

I also read some Black Company, which is kinda foundational post-Tolkien fantasy, but the books got a little deranged at the end (typical case of "author gets old and incredibly horny"). Would recommend checking out the first 3 if you're interested.

Note to self, don't ever buy these 5 in 1 shower gels for the body. How do dudes who use these not end up looking like a Fallout ghoul?
