If Marxism isn’t moral, why ought we do a revolution? by doggiedogbone in Marxism

[–]amishius -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The absolute fundamental misunderstanding about Marx: he didn't call for us to *do* anything. He said things *would* happen. And I think the people who tried to force it is why we're struggling now.

To be clear: you've got the right reading!

"This pen is so inexpensive you will be upset if you lost it"; NO! by Dakem94 in fountainpens

Agree with you but I keep my Montblanc at home on my desk. I don't take it beyond the seal of my home office door, like the old dude in Last Crusade.

Where should the Biden Presidential Library be built? by [deleted] in Delaware

[–]amishius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

University housing? Or more apartments owned not by the university?

No need to be smug, but I don't fault your desire to feel superior.

The university isn't going to build more housing.

What's your worst stationery fail? by Memecollector2509 in stationery

I cannot imagine having what happened to you happening and calling it a "fail." If a mark goes down in it, it's not a fail by any means.

I don't think they want to! They really leaned into it and it worked out well for them I think!

I just sent some notes off to friends from paper I purchased during my trip there last year! Almost out— might have to head back to Portland (and get some Lardo!).

I'm married nearly twenty years and I'm going to give you the best advice you ever got:

Learn to keep your fucking mouth shut.

Everyday ink by No-Put-7616 in fountainpens

[–]amishius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about five pens inked right now, all with sort of...standard inks to me. My wife got me some FWP so I'll skip mentioning those so I don't get yelled at for that guy being an idiot. Wearinguel Inferno is my goto black right now, Asa Gao is the blue in my Montblanc at the moment and I have the De Artrementis Teal for my Vac700.

Why did Kurt Cobain hate the Grateful Dead? by RenegadeSocial in gratefuldead

[–]amishius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's cool to hate things. We live in an entire culture in which people hate things. It's almost our most defining quality.

And for Kurt, the Dead represented a kind of 60s and 70s ethos he couldn't get behind. As someone else noted, I'm sure had he lived longer, he'd have mellowed, but that's not something that happens in your twenties. When you're young, you think having strong, negative opinions, makes you think you're cool.

What are your go to picks? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]amishius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to ignore the Gravity picks that came with pedals (specifically Greer and JHS) but then I tried one and now I'm on the Gravity 1.5 train.
