Had a brief conversation with conservative Christian parent where they mentioned “the gays.”

I don’t care. Doesn’t affect me. Ex didn’t cheat with same sex.

It will affect you when they’re making decisions for you.

In what relevant way?

🤔

They are greedy

U.S. fossil fuel subsidies stretch across the U.S. tax code, which makes detailing their costs complex. The IMF estimates they stood at $760 billion in 2022, a figure topped only by China.

However, that quote isn’t entirely fair to China.

Also it’s Reuters, so kilo of salt.

My conservative Christian, formerly maga parent recently raised the point and I had to remind them fossil energy is heavily taxpayer subsidized. Again.

Tbf, those are symptoms of despair, in most cases, regardless of income.

No problem, thanks anyway.

While not tying it to religion, I think it’s desirable that workers have and can afford two consecutive days off from work, that can and should be worked around personal preference as much as possible.

I just found the Politzer book on invidious (posted by Marxist Audiobooks)! It’s over six hours, my worry is that YT will break invidious again, and front ends are dwindling, understandably, with the cost and risks that come with the project. Do you know of any backup sites in case the worst happens with invidious?

ETA: the one posted in six parts on the Communist ASMR channel seems better, so far. It actually has inflection, whereas the other was in a monotone.

Excellent, I’ve bookmarked those sites and will begin in the next week, hopefully. I’m also add so please feel free to nag me until I do. Not that that’s your responsibility, I just know my weaknesses. The hurricane mess makes me apathetic and want to veg with mind candy, but real nourishment is needed. Off to start my day, I wish you a great day/evening, as applicable. Thanks again!

You’re welcome, friend and thanks for your reply. I hope you have an amazingly great day!

Grand rising. I only reread The Communist Manifesto from college (paperback) and Capital a few months ago, and I found this somewhere on .ml instance and plan to start after I finish hurricane cleanup and some neighborhood issues. I believe I’ve seen you recommend The State and Revolution? which I’d planned next, but if you have better suggestions for my neophyte self (maybe 1-3 at a time, that would be great, especially if I can find them on invidious and can listen while doing household cleanup and regular chores). Thanks so much!
