- Comment on Why do we say, "when I look in the mirror" instead of "when I look in a mirror?" 2 weeks ago:
I suspect it has to do with being a sort of household appliance. Similar to the fridge, the TV, the bathtub, etc. People think about it in that sense most frequently and it becomes the common parlance.

18+ mosquitoes sucking my blood is pretty awful even without a phobia.

Those fried eggs were premade and were reheated from frozen. 100%.
- Comment on Dave Chappelle’s Obsession With Mocking Trans People Continues in New Netflix Special ‘The Dreamer’: ‘I Love Punching Down’ 5 months ago:
Dave Chappelle had the option to live a quiet, wealthy, incredibly comfortable life as essentially the lord of a small Ohio city. He would have been, at the very least, a name that comes up in greatest of all time comedian discussions. Instead he chose this. Dumbass.

Very MTX-heavy mobile game aesthetic.
- Comment on The UAW's contracts deliberately expire April 30, 2028, so that they can leverage a possible UAW strike with any other strikes occurring on International Workers Day. 7 months ago:
This is laying the groundwork for a general strike. A real one, not an internet meme.

Not just heat but smoke, too. Half the summer has been spent under fair to heavy smoke cover where I’m at.
- Comment on 'Suits' Was Streamed For 3 Billion Minutes on Netflix and the Writers Were Collectively Paid $3,000 10 months ago:
You can’t take the company at the word on that. They’re in the middle of a labour action, of course they’re not going to go on about how much effect the strike is having on them, that’s counter to the goals of starving the other side out.
And anyways, this is saving money in the sense that burning down one’s house will save money on rent.
- Comment on What's the difference between communism and socialism? 10 months ago:
No, there have been many theorists after Marx who added their own thoughts. Marx came up with it though so his influence is great.
- Comment on What's the difference between communism and socialism? 10 months ago:
You are mistaken. Socialism is worker owned means of production. Communism is a theoretical stateless, classless, moneyless society that Marx theorized would eventually form from the conditions of socialism (AKA dictatorship of the proletariat).
