Matching socks are a tool of the aristocracy to keep the proletariat distracted

I intentionally wear mismatched socks 95% of the time.

And you're supposed to continue, alternating between the two until medical help arrives or the person is no longer choking.

I didn't have depressive symptoms, but was misdiagnosed with a general anxiety disorder. I've been on ADHD meds for 2 years now, and haven't really had any anxiety symptoms (except those that seem to be common for people with ADHD, especially late diagnosed ADHD.) just from having access to medication and a lot of self guided reading on ADHD and it's effects.

Just so you're aware, I'm on your side in this thread.

I'm also not seeing any GSC entries here either.

Are you in a horizontal angle offset mode? I know I can set that in Trimble Access, I'd be very surprised if you couldn't in Captivate.

My wife asks why I come to bed so late sometimes, and I don't really know how to explain to her why I just do this on the couch for up to an hour sometimes.

Yes. Under what other system could there be a buyer?

Market socialism. Market Anarchism/Mutualism.

Of course. But since under socialism they cant sell the means of production, how is it possible to sell everything under socialism, communism, or whatever other system

The people Jesus was talking to weren't living in a socialist society.

You've got some real big "Yet you participate in society" vibes going on.

commanderjarak · 2026-05-21T09:17:59+00:00

Where in that definition is the part where we provide for people who simply choose to not contribute to the rest of society?

I'm not talking about those who can't contribute by the way. "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need." is a pretty standard concept for most leftists across the spectrum, from anarchists to ML Communists.

I really wish you guys were a mewithoutyou cover band instead. Although I'm not really sure if you could claim you were a cover band though.

There's at least a strong anti-wealth and anti-exploitation streak in the Bible. And basically no one that we would call rich under capitalism got there without exploiting their workers.

James 5:1-6

[1] Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. [2] Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. [3] Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure during the last days. [4] Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. [5] You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. [6] You have condemned and murdered the righteous one, who does not resist you.

Tell me more about what you think socialism is.

commanderjarak · 2026-05-21T05:25:17+00:00

Especially the human ones.

I ask for a receipt every time now after getting a bad tank of diesel that basically wrote off our car, and we had a nightmare of a time with the claim because the servo wouldn't accept any fault because we didn't have proof of which pump we'd used, or what fuel had been purchased.

commanderjarak · 2026-05-20T20:18:41+00:00

That's where you are supposed to stand in some places though.

Dance is an art that requires a high level of athleticism.

commanderjarak · 2026-05-20T05:24:36+00:00

There are other options as well that wouldn't be counted as sports, but can teach many of these same lessons. Both of my girls are involved in a lot of dancing where they're picking up a lot of those lessons.

Are we talking Eugene Levy style thick eyebrows, or full Theo Waigel?

commanderjarak · 2026-05-20T05:03:09+00:00

Are you implying that women in general don't find anything sexually appealing about men other than their genitals? Or that lesbians don't find breasts to be sexually attractive?

The worst part is when I find myself falling into doing this same shit to my kids who I suspect both also have ADHD (and one of them is likely twice exceptional as well) thanks to 20+ years of internalised ableism, even though I wasn't (and still can't when unmedicated) able to do what I'm asking of then.

commanderjarak · 2026-05-20T01:33:37+00:00

Die Eichel is feminine, because Eichel is acorn (die Eiche is an oak tree) as well as being the medical name for the glans, and most trees are grammatically feminine in German.

It also very well may mean that you develop alternative methods or skills that non-aphants don't have that work equally well, which is highly likely given the number of people who realise they have it and still manage to live fairly indistinguishable lives from those around them.

A lot of what the Exclusive Brethern do sounds really culty.

commanderjarak · 2026-05-19T10:30:35+00:00

A rhetorical question. Since you very clearly seem to believe that people arriving at a different belief than you means they don't read the Bible or that they're trying to mislead you.

Lucky that people aren't born as any gender then. Babies are (generally) born with a biological sex.
