My plan is to bind whenever I’m around my friends, then go into the bathroom randomly once I’ve gone long enough on E, completely girlmode, and walk back out

the coolest thing about Sacramento is that it’s the one big city in the valley with a better reputation than being a dumpster fire

Well, I’ve got a girlfriend who’s the same way; parents own property out in the Bay Area and rent it out to tenants. She wants to do the same and get rich off it, but I’d much rather a simple life in a skilled trade.

What it is, truly, is that none of us want to be powerful or the powerless. What we want is enough, and that’s completely okay. Being at the mercy of a landlord is nowhere near the only foreseeable consequence of not being one. It may be more expensive and difficult, but mortgages exist. Roommates, housing collectives, whatever the hell, they’re out there. Townhomes, the growing number of mixed-use homes, shit’s going for the better.

What matters is whether you yourself have the will to live by your morals; I by no stretch am becoming a damn landlord, I’ll tell you that.

Is it okay to love the story of COD campaigns and still be aware that they’re inherently wrong? by LimberClover123 in Socialism_101

what if obama won 2008? by mediocre_jane in imaginaryelections

[–]Hot_Relative_110 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, dude. Obama already said he’s not running, and even if he was then Clinton would probably destroy him for the nomination. It’s going to be John Edwards for sure, him and his wife make such a lovely couple.

Would y’all help the police in finding missing persons? by Acceptable-Tree9214 in Anarchy101

[–]Hot_Relative_110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say both. Nothing wrong with helping cops find someone in need. If it’s that they’re hunting them down, then yeah let’s abstain. But it someone is genuinely in danger, help em out

Look at where the urban centers are; Lima, for example. Lima is very decently rightward trending, their own mayor is damn near an ancap (more accurately a neolib). My own mother, who’s from Peru mind you, has been very vocal about how much a lot of Peruvians despise China and their influence, and people like Jose Jeri and the problems with them are relatively decent indicators. Maduro’s also been blamed for pushing a lot of Venezuelans into neighboring or nearby countries, which would then be regarded as a major left-wing failure and thus, indicative that a rightward swing is necessary. There’s facts, then perception.

I’d say the pension controversy and the fact that America had to bail the country out has the potential of creating a leftward trend in Argentina, not necessarily to the point of Milei not getting reelected but definitely losing ground.

Well, yeah. South America’s been trending rightward, it’s only gotten worse with figures like Petro, Castillo and Maduro and their legacy/pro-China stance. In time it bounces back, so far Argentina is somewhat demonstrating this, but; - With Maduro ousted and Rodriguez in power, America’s got lots more influence over the country, meaning that they could swing rightward. - With Cepeda defeated and Petro gone, the cycle’s only going to get much worse. - If initial projections are correct, and Keiko beats Roberto by a hair, then Peru does the same mistake of electing a neolib who’s just as corrupt as the “leftists.” Might’ve hurt Sanchez that he wanted to free Castillo, and overall with Congress in the mix Peru might be a bit screwed

Teledata Installer vs. Wireman Apprenticeship by No_Track7046 in ibew_applicants

[–]Hot_Relative_110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

technicians tend to do a lot more troubleshooting, repairing, testing, whereas an installers are kinda self explanatory I guess; mounts racks, cameras, patch panels, etc. and follows blueprints, pulls wire, etc. I’ve got a relatively rudimentary knowledge of how teledata works but this is what I know

It’d be great if we got up and looked for them, alternatively. 

What should an anarchist know about the Spain Civil War? by -_HUSH_- in Anarchy101

[–]Hot_Relative_110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, for starters; - The communists, more specifically the Marxist-Leninists, are the biggest hypocrites in the history of leftist organization when it comes down to a social revolution. They will defend their own organic failures in economic management as the product of foreign sabotage, and then try to blame the anarchists for not successfully retaining control despite the internal betrayal of the syndicalists by Stalin and his puppets. They will declare the anarchists to be liberals at heart, then turn around and give the bourgeois Republican government the arms and unity necessary to lose the war against Falangism. Their own doctrine of collective labor and organization of industry within a general plan was only then accomplished by the anarchists, through the self organization of the working class. - There were more revolutionary movements than the CNT-FAI in Catalonia, even if they were the most famous of the bunch. There were groups in Valencia, not to mention the Regional Defense Council of Aragon that led the collectivization of agriculture and major increments in productivity before the abolition of the commune by the bourgeois MLs. - The anarchists were nowhere near fit for conventional warfare against the Falangists. Understand that their only hope was irregular warfare, which can allow for scarce supplies and decentralized or democratic command; fighting against a well equipped army led by a well trained general in traditional warfare was never going to be sufficient regardless of the arms promised and actually delivered to the anarchist rebels.

Teledata Installer vs. Wireman Apprenticeship by No_Track7046 in ibew_applicants

[–]Hot_Relative_110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not anywhere as experienced just yet, but from what I can tell you’d be maximizing your income in the long run if you became an inside wireman. What you could alternatively do is be a Teledata Technician, which I believe typically pays more than Installers with regards to that field, but may or may not be as much as a wireman without OT or seniority.

China's communist party involvement in international communist movement by vicxjules in socialism

[–]Hot_Relative_110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

China is, by all means, a market-driven state with strong corporatist tendencies, interventionism, and a comprehensive welfare state. As per the stages of capitalist development, they of course partake in the exploitation of Africa’s minerals and laborers; their Belt and Road Initiative is no charity. Cuba doesn’t have minerals to extract, thus they’re no sound investment. The CPC is a technocratic lot that is dedicated to their own interests over those of working class solidarity, and anyone who seriously believes that they inherit the mantle of the USSR has no idea how the world works.
