Karl Marx, born on this day in 1818, was a foundational political theorist and journalist associated with the philosophy of Marxism.
Among Marx's best-known texts are the "The Communist Manifesto" and the three-volume "Das Kapital", in which he set out to define and explain the behavior of the capitalist mode of production.
Marx's political and philosophical thought have had enormous influence on subsequent intellectual, economic and political history, and his name has been used as an adjective, a noun, and a school of social theory.
Marx's critical theories about society, economics and politics - collectively understood as Marxism - hold that human societies develop through class conflict. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production, and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.
Employing a critical approach known as historical materialism, Marx concluded that, like previous socio-economic systems, capitalism produced internal tensions which would lead to its self-destruction and replacement by a new system known as socialism.

Caffeine not hitting the way it usually does these past couple days. Ughhhh
yeah, gotta take a day off from it time to time
I might give that a try. Could also be that I'm just super worn out though. I have amount of caffeine that I drink every day. I haven't really been drinking more, but definitely not feeling it as much.
i don't think taking a day off really does much, doesn't it take months to fully withdraw from the drug?

I have a little old baby truck for supposedly making my life easier with projects, but I went like 7 months without starting it and driving it around (a long story), so the less than 1 year old battery died. like full drain. I spent the entire morning looking up the various hardware I can buy/use to remedy this specific situation (multi stage charger, 10A) as well as prevent it in the future (2-3A maintainer).
my current place doesn't have a garage or a car port or even a goddamn outlet on the porch, so I guess I'm charging this thing inside the house now that I've pulled the battery out. if I keep the windows open, that's well ventilated right?
this is so America car brained, but one day I just want to have a really simple shed that has like 3 bays worth of space, all my tools neatly organized, power outlets, wifi, a little dumpy computer I can easily watch videos on, and all the bullshit so I can just mostly fix my own dumbass problems without turning my living space into a chaos dungeon.
My Ace Trainer boyfriend just got back from his Hoenn League trip and I couldn't help but notice all of the badges he acquired were from the woman gym leaders there, but none from the men.
He fucked the dudes instead of battling
Do I ask him about it?
Oh my god, I was sneak-peeking through his Pokedex while he's in the shower and I found a PC Box filled with Lopunny.
you should turn him into the child of our future Omelas
SaitΕ KΕhei is right β Marx (and thus Marxists, until SaitΕ arrived) was completely wrong to assert "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of the development of the productive forces."

weekly Dr Who rant, spoilers within
"I used to call it the world wide web, until humans named something far uglier that."
The Doctor just wants to chill out and gossip with his mates. Unfortunately the barber shop they hang out in has been stolen be Anansi who's using stories to power some sorta giant, cyborg spider ship. Cue a coup attempt among the gods and a reunion with a jilted lover.
What I liked:
-
the way they tied the way the map of the escape route through the maze was hidden into an interesting piece of African history was cool.
-
the design of the engine/control room was rad.
-
Dr Who acknowledging Earth outsida the Anglosphere is rare, I want to see more of it.
What I didn't like:
-
GIANT CGI SPIDER, it looked terrible.
-
Anansi, it's all very well to use gods like Bastet or Loki who aren't worshipped in earnest anymore but Anansi is a figure in a religion actively being practiced and that feels weird to me.
Overall:
I liked it. With more hits than misses so far imho Dr Who is slowly building a winning streak. Tune in next week when they throw that in the shitter with a Eurovision Song Contest parody.

You can just make a different bean sauce silly
Great-aunt is over and spreading extremely obviously fake stories about people from American reality TV shows and celebrities being killed by other famous people and them all having bodies found in secret basements. Which I'm assuming are from AI YT channels.
I work/study/do research in healthcare and I've been recently thinking about how much of modern medicine/healthcare is based on the guarantee of antibiotics working properly. On the other hand, there are more and more resistant bacteria floating around the communities, ie. outside the ICU where they usually come from.
Antibiotic resistance and development is yet another barrier that capitalism fundamentally cannot overcome, regardless of how many reforms you make. Research for new drugs take a long time and is very expensive. Along with this, the correct way of using antibiotics is avoiding overuse or just reducing the use in general, specially of new drugs that bacteria can't resist yet. That means that companies can't expect to make a profit out of any new drug that they develop, since trying to use them as little as possible is the rational way.
In other words, the profit motive is unable to create new antibiotics in the manner that the world needs right now, let alone in the much worse future. If we lose antibiotics, modern medicine mostly comes to a halt. For example, say goodbye to surgeries and also to your little niece that got an ear infection that every kid gets at least once. Tooth extractions becomes a very high risk procedure, too.
Antifungals are starting to get resisted by fungus too. It's actually a really serious issue, and we don't really have anything like Vancomycin or antibiotics of last resort for antifungals.
The Soviets had a loooong research program into bacteriophages that we're more or less rediscovering. It's one of those things, in Math you often have to name stuff after the 2nd person to discover it and in Biology apparently you're the second group to discover it after some soviet scientists lol. Phage therapy could work as bacteria get more resistant to antibiotics - its also not energetically free for them to produce beta-lactamases, they stop eventually even if they retain the plasmid or genes for it.
But you're absolutely right that this is a contradiction in healthcare under a profit motive. If research and production is for profit instead of for need - then we're hooped unless they get some miracle, which is what this late stage of capitalism seems to be pinning it's hopes on
We've had a MDR fungus in one of the ICUs I work at 
Poor dude had to get half his face removed due to it, then it started growing on the other half, too. The only risk factor he had was diabetes, btw

People died of tooth issues a lot in the past. Its shocking. Today its non-trival.
Tried to make romantic breakfast bed for my gf who had a bad week but I burned some pancakes and now she feels even worse. Iβm like joker
why does she feel bad cuz you burnt some pancakes, feeling bad about that is your job
She said I used too much sugar and I think I did because I put a cup of brown sugar and a cup of white sugar
How many pancakes were you making holy mackerel! I made 
pancakes for my partner this morning and used two tablespoons of sugar

Anyone have experience consolidating defaulted student loans? I'm having an issue with the application and being pingponged to different phone numbers, all of which have long ass waits and annoying phone trees. I just want to not get my shit garnished.
this is probably the wrong decision but i want them to garnish my shit. Make it cost money for them to take my money from me, I'm down, pry it out of my hands if you're gonna take it, fuckers

NSFW: DIY woodworking, frank BDSM and rough sex talk, and Christian blasphemy.
Last sunday I made an accessory to bondage play, with a sacrilege twist. It's since been stress-tested and it's holding together extremely well even for a prototype.
It started with an idea I got from a friend who's into succubus-fantasy play. She said she'd had a fantasy of playing a succubus who seduces a humble priest. I asked what if the priest turns it around, and "exorcises" the succubus by forcing them to wear a huge cross while the priest dominates them?
I had some spare good-quality 25mm hardwood dowel and various metal attachment hardware kicking around. This was the concept, and once I laid them on the floor I knew instantly that I hit on a fun idea.
Assembly was very simple. A bit of work with my new favourite tool, wood glue and dowel pins, lots of rounds of sanding and staining with a body-safe stain, and fitting the metal hardware and it was done. Super easy.
At first I was planning to do solid black, but as I did the multiple rounds of sanding and staining, I found I really liked the weathered look.
Of course I wanted the design to be symmetrical, so that the cross could either be right-side-up or upside-down depending on the play mood. It's roughly 30cm long excluding the metal hardware.
Going back and watching Rogue One after Andor, it's so weird. Much more star war than andor
I guess my gf is out getting a tattoo and i hope she doesn't pick the dumb looking one (Sam Lake drew some spiral with an arrow pointing to the middle going "you are here" and i think it's a terrible, terrible tattoo idea because it looks like a child or a dementia patient attempting to draw a clock drew it, just this thin spiral drawn by a clearly unsteady hand) but i guess we'll see!
Iβll believe the ceasefire when I see it
