Slugs are neat there are many active slugs in my area this time of year and they are cool to look at. I saw one carefully navigate its eye around a blade of grass the other day without touching it. Crazy sophisticated behavior for something that doesn’t technically (Edit: according to some stuff I’ve read but see below) have a brain.

Edit: I went and did some googling and I’m seeing papers speaking of slugs’ brains so I guess this definition has changed and improved.

Edit 2: It’s possible the usage is inconsistent as there are (some) papers going back a long way describing the cerebral, pleural, and pedal ganglia of the slug as a brain.

GIS is very cool and sometimes helpful for getting job type things congrats!

Haha my former upstairs neighbors liked to do that while having sex at 4am but they also liked to play music during sex

The music was really loud, but didn’t cover the other sounds

Really loud

The music was The Beatles

I don’t want another cringe post

I don’t need another type of guy, no

I don’t want to learn the hard way

Baby get banned, oh, no, goodbye

But you got me like Musk’s rocket

Blowing up across the sky

It’s the way you shitpost

It’s a feeling like this

It’s centrifugal motion

It’s perpetual piss

It’s that pivotal moment

It’s, ah, impossible

This piss, this piss (unstoppable)

This piss, this piss

Live in Germany but originally come from the Failed States of America. I normally shower twice daily, unless I’m staying in the apartment all day and not going anywhere then I can do once. Do not have a bath tub, probably wouldn’t use it much if at all if I had one

This is realistic because no one with an iPhone wants to improve society somewhat

The irrefutable fact that all the Oceangate soda can explorers all had iPhones just occurred to me last night. iPhones and the Oceangate submersible are basically the same product

Also critical support to the EU for ruining their dumb proprietary plug party that shit was hilarious. Hope they do every single other overpriced, proprietary, and deliberately unfixable piece of garbage component Apple makes next

I was talking about how awful Apple was with a friend the other day and started screaming about how much I fucking hate Apple (I guess there are iPhone owners who refuse to date Android owners? I guess they enjoy signaling that they are rich enough to not know anything about technology and have spent their lives treated like babies like the imperial Chinese nobles did with giant fingernails showing they never work? Man I hate apple) and my wife was like they are giving me an apple for my next work computer and I was like

I call it Rotten Apple Joe in the tradition of the classic film Yatta

I am become my department’s depresso clown

Tired and unmotivated every day fuck

Idk if I’m a great example of anything but having done this on some level at least a couple times (two bachelor’s degrees in three majors, master’s, and ongoing PhD that I started in mid 30s), on one hand it’s doable and go for it, on the other hand no one is going to pay you to do the most creative things you really want to do and your ambitions for that might end up flattened in any case. But also my humanities background was towards the beginning not the end and the rest has been at least partly (not completely) a fruitless struggle to not be poor (still poor but the scientific things I study do interest me on a good day, or so I like to tell myself).

If what you’re doing now leaves the time and energy to do the thing you want on the side, maybe that is a good idea.

If not, or if the thing you want is the knowledge and/or degree itself, uh go for it but also don’t be surprised when no matter how much you do everything “right” according to whatever framing you like, you still can’t win? Ah that sounds terrible. Go for it! Yes

Probably if you have the money I know the mattress I have is wrecking my sleep but I can’t commit to replacing it at this time. I know the frustration of remembering what a good night’s sleep is like the rare time I go to a hotel very well…

As long as it’s not utter dreck like say recent Marvel movies (in which case I feel more disgusted than guilty for any kind of enjoyment), not really. 40k to me is especially redeemable because it’s not trying to depict anything good. But some 40k fans don’t seem to understand this and are capable of the most deranged imaginable takes on what it’s about, this for sure is true.

Yes, especially historically there was a strong overlap between knowledge workers and the PB class. Still true to some extent today. But the point is that PB and knowledge workers or the “intellectual class” are not categorically the same.

I will offer a stab at it but others might disagree: I think at least historically, workers in privileged positions like this were at least in principle able to become exploiters if they wanted to with the resources available to them. Furthermore as you point out some people in this category can have ambitions of becoming exploiters. For this reason Stalin for example recognized an intellectual class that was neither exactly proletariat nor bourgeoisie, important for bringing into the revolutionary fold but also not always trustworthy. This class, iirc in Stalin’s estimation, was not large enough to become revolutionary on its own.

It’s important however to remember Marx’s comment about transformation in the process of production pitching increasing numbers of people into the proletariat. With increasingly tenuous and badly paid work in teaching and academic professions in the west in the 21st century, it’s arguable that Stalin’s analysis of intellectuals no longer applies to present conditions, at least not as much as in his time, and congrats we’re exploited workers too (I’m an out of contract PhD student, hi, my life is a nightmare).
