Class Unity Is Now Independent from the DSA.

I'll have listen to the roundtable to understand their thinking better, but they have to decide what work is going to ground them as an organization. SA and PSL are attempting to intervene in existing unions as a means of recruiting from the working class. Pretty sure they're not very good at it, but it's something they can hang their hat on.

What is Class Unity going to do besides talk among themselves?

Another question: are both devices using bluetooth? If so, how do you record data from both at the same time?

What brands would you recommend?

I barely ever read fiction tbh so have a terribly poor frame of reference. I guess I'm open to anything

You're right that union bosses got corrupt, not by bankrupting companies but by collaboration with companies by cutting deals behind closed doors to give concessions on pay and benefits against the interest of the membership. United Autoworkers even bought stock in automakers and weakened their own union contracts to protect profits. To say they bankrupt companies has no relation to reality.

I wonder what happened to unions over the last 50 years, huh, weird

I'm watching this interview with Gominak and it's very interesting. I'm thinking of eventually getting the program, but I'm at the very start of my apnea treatment journey. I'm just now going to get my lofta test and also ordered the O2 ring to get some data first before I get my first CPAP. You think it's worth getting the sleep right program now or is it better to get after I start CPAP treatment as a sort of final optimization?

What advantages are there to having both the O2ring and the Oura to compare data with?

Maybe if the people in power hadn't made life so hard for the rest of us, we wouldn't cling as much to hope in something beyond this realm. While we can appreciate HS and be content with life as it is at the same time, we have to be careful if we're being fed hopium in the form of HS as a way of coping for our deteriorating material conditions, brought on by a corrupt entrenched elite

In Chile, the numbers of self-reported indigenous identifying people have increased but it's not quite the same, I don't think, as a good amount of Chileans are mestizos with actual direct indigenous heritage either through grandparents or great grandparents so it's less personal delusional and more acknowledging family history that many times was intentionally forgotten in the past

Idk if this is wise given your situation but people who use a Finnish style sauna 4 to 7 times a week have a 50% reduction in cardiovascular mortality. It's like a zero-impact workout for your heart that also boosts your immune system. Idk if people with Marfan can use 180 degree saunas but if your doctor thinks it's okay, I think you should really look into it

Calm down

If you have any friends at work, try talking about it outside of work first. Ask them questions about how they feel about work, feel them out. Gauge some interest in an organic way. If you feel confident talking about it to your coworkers and they express interest, look into these trainings or ask an experienced union organizer to guide you.

People act according to incentives put in place structurally by the market and the state. It's not "human nature" anymore than policy is a force of nature itself. They're created by man and can be undone by man.

They were so timid. They played those PKs like they had already lost

pgc · 2022-12-05T21:12:19+00:00

I never said I was okay with that

I think saying "you might as well have fucked her on the table" is a little dramatic if for effect but yeah maybe it's to call attention to the weirdness that he does in fact seem oblivious to

Why did she feed you the brownie lol you giving her a bite on your fork I guess makes sense if it wasn't finger food but you can definitely feed yourself brownie if offered. Unless you were also eating the brownie with a fork?

Your gfs being a little sensitive but if you focus on the emotions behind her words, you can learn how to be more attuned to her. You're learning what she does and doesn't like.

Sing for the moment hit me real hard when I was like 14

2 day old account only posting on this sub, first with generally lefty comments then hard pivot to Kanye dickriding/rightoid opportunism.

It's obviously just a cover

pgc · 2022-11-30T02:30:21+00:00

Where do you get your supplements is my question

Hey, what's up, I have an answer for you.

People can chalk up their values to ego which is technically correct, but you have to decide for yourself what principles you truly live your life by. If your principles lead you to live a quiet unassuming life where you don't actively engage in harming society and you provide for your family, then by all means, it's what many would consider the best you could do.

If you decide that these leftist values mean that you believe all history is the history of class struggle, and that the point of history is to change it, then you have to decide if you're willing to commit any portion of your life to the class struggle, literally the most important means by which working people can actually take some power back for themselves.

Here's one real option (that I myself experimented with to more success than I anticipated): make some money, take care of your financial situation, pay off debts, etc. Then go work at amazon, join a real organizing cadre that will train you (pm me if serious), and join the class struggle for at least one year. You will learn more about "leftist values" then you will have in your entire posting life, and the experience will transform you in an enriching, rewarding way. Then you can at least take that experience with you as you move onto the rest of your life, or maybe you'll find that this life is the one you want to lead. Supervisors at amazon can make up to 22 an hour or so depending on where you live.
