  • Okay this is actually what makes humans amazing. Btw the malört and Marx is talking now.

    I feel like we are sold this idea to be purely a specialist because… It’s easy to know that your tool does one thing and one thing well. It really is a mindset that benefits a capitalist that a worker is good for one thing. How many jobs have you been in that you felt never utilized your potential? That you had so many skills that weren’t being utilized?

    Marx characterized humans as being creative and diverse. We are amazing Swiss army knives, but so often our companies ask us to only be a screwdriver or a bottle opener.

    Sadly if you are reading this thinking “I’m only good at one thing” it’s not true and it’s not your fault. You’ve been sold an idea that you bought into, and it may have even been beneficial financially. How many people are making $350k to turn a button blue and move it left 3 pixels? Our system rewards people when they are able to be tools for a specific purpose.

    Oddly enough Marx predicted that the country most likely to be communist would be the United States. He actually really liked Americans, we were farmers in the morning, artists in the evening, and philosophers at night. We had overthrown the aristocracy, so it just made sense we would be the first to overthrow the Bourgeois class.

    Turns out Marx couldn’t predict everything :/






  • As a PNW beer snob, I used to make shandies out of the Ranier 30 racks that would be left at our house after a party. I didn’t like the beer at the time and mixing it with lemon San Pellegrino made it delightful.

    I now drink Ranier proudly when I can since I moved to Chicago. I love this city but I still bleed green, white, and blue.

    Oh yea, you can cook it with any vegetable, fruit, or flower, milk, and rock salt to get a tough seafood stew. I those are pretty powerful, like your defense goes up for 5 minutes.

    Alternatively mix it with monster parts and you get an elixir but what fun is that?







  • A) thank you for completing the assignment

    B) man that’s rough. That “leaving the cave” moment is something I think (hope) most everyone has sometime in their 20s. It sucks because it hurts, it’s ugly, and at the very least puts strain on our most important relationships. Sometimes it breaks the relationship and we need to find new ones but that is absolutely painful too.

    I hope in your introspection you’ve seen the ways you’ve grown and recognize where the boundaries are to forgive yourself and others, and know what ties were better off cut.

    I’ve been in similar situations and honestly it’s made me more empathetic and patient for anyone I see who seems to be off the path of being empathetic and patient. I hope when you run into someone who is in your footsteps that you treat them how you wish you were treated. ❤️
