Does anyone have any book recommendations to get from akuk.com? I want to order the SPK’s “Turn Illness Into a Weapon”, but if it costs like 20$ for shipping a 20$ book I figured I might order more than one

Their selection seems weird and there’s not a lot I’m familiar with, but it’s the only site I’ve seen to buy the SPK book that I really want

dems trying to outflank republicans from the right but still getting outflanked by the repubs who still weren’t satisfied

But I want to examine it as an artifact of liberal guilt. Specifically, guilt for supplanting feudalism and then immediately overseeing the horrors of the industrial revolution both inside the core and without.

Word. I like that a lot. That’s an interesting way to add to the “emperors & monarchs -> lord’s & slave-owners -> capitalist class” pipeline that people like Dr. Wolff use, for example

Yup. Beyond the visible crimes of genocide we are witnessing, iSSrael is disabling hundreds of thousands of people (and inevitably millions through intergenerational trauma) both physically and psychologically

“the law only applies to business and financial transactions”

like, does that mean that the blockade seeks to undermine grocery stores and restaurants, as if to force Cubans to live on food provided by NGOs?

Oh yeah we’re so fucked

yeah me too… I can’t remember what it was, but i was getting the yuck from him way before i was into politics and knew more about stuff. That the is so fuzzy, it feels like it was 10 years ago

Yes, but that does not mean AI has 0 influence. Rather, AI is a circle, a shape with no beginning or end, suggesting that AI has endless and infinite potential. Now, let’s say you want to remove AI from the equation - imagining a world without AI. What happens when you divide by zero? You can’t, because dividing by zero is undefined. Thusly, a world (future or past) without AI is now an impossibility. This is simply the laws of mathematics.

Mix of libgen and local bookstores, including my town’s anarchist bookstore!

I’m juggling “If We Burn” by Jason Bevins, “Postcapitalist Desire” by Mark Fisher, and “Double Shift” by Jason Read. I’m not familiar with Jason Read but the description of the book had me intrigued

In as few words as possible: U.S. academia functions as an MLM* scheme where your best career prospect after getting out will be in academia, preparing further students to leave academia only to return, ad infinitum.

Yup. Graduate students are expected to do so much unpaid work, at least here in Canada. Not just that, but we (at least in my program) still pay tuition despite not taking courses. We constantly do unpaid work for our own (or our supervisor’s) research. We pay out of pocket to present work at conferences. We pay thousands of dollars to publish our work. We have to beg and grovel for the chance to get funding, and the funding system hasn’t changed scholarship amounts in over 20 years. All the presentations, publications, funding applications, etc. are just fodder for your CV, so you can have better odds at doing more presentations, publications, and funding applications.

It’s such a rigged system.

An example comment from tankies on Zelensky: “Putin and our comrades in Ukraine are going to kill all the US financed nazi scum and hopefully hang Zelensky while they’re at it. Let’s go Brandon!”

Now that I don’t live with my parents, nor can they pay for my ski passes, I can’t imagine spending $100-200 for a ski pass, plus the cost of driving to and from a ski-hill that’s 90 minutes away from me :(

Same mfers that talk about “a vote for 99% hitler is a vote against 100% hitler, so you *need *to for 99% hitler ☝️🤓” will also have the nerve to talk about authoritarianism and democracy

They really narwhaled the mfing bacon

also note the contradiction between how they defend Biden’s complicity and/or outright support for the genocide of Palestinians because he’s actually not *that *powerful - he’s only the president of the United States!

But god forbid Trump was president - somehow he (despite holding the same role) would have the power to make things incomprehensibly worse in unspeakable ways! Vote blue!

ohh that sounds right up my alley. I saw it’s only a few bucks on steam, but the port sounds pretty bad. Do you have any recommendations for the best way to play on PC? One thing that comes to mind is emulating the 360 version, but I’m not enough of a gamer to know how that works or if that would be better lol
