Premaking stuff thats easy to grab and eat is my preference. Chicken Salad, fruit salads, just in a bowl in the fridge and grab it when you want some. For something hot hard tacos are great. The shells take 3 minutes in a toaster oven to cook, and you can premake the taco meat be it chicken, beef, etc then toss some cheese, and pico de gallo on there and youve got a meal in under 10 mins. Just fruit in general too. Oranges, bananas, apples, grapes. Its easy to just grab when hungry for something small.
Personally i prefer 1 day off 1 day on. So youd get 4 days of work one week then 3 the next and youd have a day off in between each shift. Then youd get like an extra 30 days off of vacation time per year you can take whenever you want. So youd only have to work 10 months out of the year, and your work half of that time. If we were doing socialism and workers were not being worked to the bone for capitalist profits that is entirely doable to keep society functioning in peacetime. Especially with how much we can now automate and will be able to in the near future.
Yeah like during covid lockdown just people driving around less had huge positive effects on the environment. If we could just adopt some of what we did in lockdown like remote work for everyone who can do it permanently it would make a huge difference. And there are tons of ways we could just be less wasteful in general but people dont bother.
If you have a window to put one in a window AC unit can be life changing and you can get them for a decent price. I know it might still just be too expensive but if you can afford one i highly reccomend it. You can even bring it with you if you ever move apartments.
Ya well thats why populist right wing messaging works so well. Its simple. A large portion of americans have like a grade school reading level u cant be throwing around big words they dont understand or theyll tune you out. Its something Donald Trump does really well and part of why he is so popular. He speaks in simple terms, and small words. The anger someone like Trump harnesses and aims toward immigrants and trans people could just as easily be aimed toward the rich. A revolution is not done by academics and marxists. Its our job to guide the revolution and make sure it ends in socialism. The revolution itself is a destructive and violent act largely carried out by the masses who have no real ideology outside of wanting to be comfortable.
When the masses anger is directed at the institutions of oppression they will tear them down, and in the chaos a much smaller group of educated and prepared marxists can use that opportunity to take the reigns and guide things to a socialist future. The actual education of the masses on marxism and socialist ideas comes after. You can educate people now, but youll never be able to do it at scale until we are already in power. What we need right now is a strong and organized small group who are ready to spring into action when the time is right. Like the Bolsheviks. You have a small professional group that has a clear vision to shape the chaos of revolution into something positive.
Try to examine the absurdity of this statement for a moment. You think the current system of governance and control which has barely existed for a century or 2 is going to continue in perpetuity for the rest of human history? You could argue this version of global capitalism isnt even 100 years old yet if you look at the end of WW2 as the start. So your argument is that a system that is younger than some people still alive today will never end? Or is it that you think we will go extinct in the very near short term and people wont overthrow the government before that happens?
Socialist terms are fine for those politically involved but you need more digestible info for the masses. Keep it very simple. "The Working Class" is sometimes even too much. You need to reframe the US vs THEM to be Rich vs everyone else.
Dont say poor either. People dont want to think of themselves as poor even if they are. A lot of poor Americans think theyre middle class or petite bougouise but they arent. So steal the language. The Billionaires are attacking the middle class! Instead of convincing them they are something different than what they think they are just use their language to reshape their perspective.
In general in the west things that are done by the western nations are either ignored, spun as not as bad, or treated like "its history we changed" while they act as if socialists are pure evil. I think you were just experiencing that cognitive dissonance they got mad at you for pointing out their hypocrisy.
The fact anyone is down voting this as if Biden, and Kamala aren't currently funding and supporting a genocide baffles me. TBH tho its not a weird American thing to have Trump since most of europe is going far right nationalist too now. The only weird American part is we have 2 pro-genocide parties and 0 anti-genocide ones.
I'm an american who has been to a lot of different american cities. It very much depends on the city for jaywalking. Its hard to predict too. Somewhere like manhattan idk why they even bother putting lights up tbh. But other places if you jaywalk people will look at you like ur crazy.
Maybe im a dumbass, but im currently using an entire operating system that is community funded, and made. How is it that its possible to do it with linux, and all the things that go with linux, but a web browser can't do it without getting into ads? Why are web browsers so special that they just need oogles and oogles of money to function?
Nah not really a movie person in general, but when i do watch them i either lay in bed or am walking around, and watch on a tablet, or laptop. I really dislike the way TVs look in a sitting room too. My living room just has seating, and some decorations i think its nice to just sit in there, and disconnect. The only stationary screen i have is a computer monitor at my desk and i never watch media on that just use it when playing games or using the computer.
Sitting in a single place for long enough to watch a movie i get pretty bored too. So typically ill like start out in bed, carry it down to the kitchen and keep watching while i make food, get some chores done, etc.
I think the size of the screen doesnt really matter too because as the tablet or laptop is typically closer to you it appears a similar size in your view to like a larger screen thats far away you know?
With what borders? Your insinuating the zionist entity would still exist how is it possible for palestine to be free, and for their lands to still be occupied by the zionists at the same time?
If you want a true path to a free palestine ill give it to you.
Step 1: Stop the genocide. The israeli state stops their agression and stops killing innocents. A full ceasefire.
Step 2: Demilitarization, and international intervention. The israelis, and hamas surrender their weapons, and send their soldiers home as an international UN peacekeeping force enters the region to maintain peace. Led by South Africa preferably. Freedom of movement is granted to all people in the territories, and equal citizenship is granted to all palestinians, and israelis in the unified levant territory state. The international community would need to pour humanitarian aid into the country to stabilize it at this point.
Step 3: A civilian governemnt is elected by the unified electorate of israelis, and palestinians including the millions of displaced palestinians currently in places like jordan who would be allowed to return home if they chose to.
Step 4: reconciliation. The new civilian government must decide what to do with the stolen property and homes. Most likely many zionists would flee the nation back to where they came from much like the whites in south africa did, but if they chose to stay then youd have to make sure anyone whose family had lands stolen either got those lands or equivalent lands back, and zionists would have to give up what they stole. In a democratic situation palestinians outnumber settlers so theyd dominate the new government, and zionist policies would be a non-starter.
Step 5: Trials. You would need a nurenburg style trial for the war criminals who orchestrated the genocides against palestinians. Justice would be needed. Altho i imagine many zionist criminals would try to flee to the US, or Germany.
Step 6: peace? I think that israelis who are ok with the freedom and liberation of palestinians and who chose to stay would find themselves welcomed by palestinians in this new Palestine, and while old wounds would take time to heal i do think given proper policy, and a end to the fighting most people would just want to rebuild, and live in peace. The new civilian government at this point could begin to form a new defensive military, and once it was able to secure its own borders the UN forces could withdraw.
This process would take decades probably, and would require the United States to step in and force Israel to stop its agression as Israel is a protectorate of the USA. Its a very unlikely scenario, but it is the only peaceful solution. To end the occupation, and the genocide.
I have literally pirated games i OWN to play them without all the logins and bullshit.
