Thanks it was heavily inspired by Yuyoi Kasama’s infinity nets. It took me quite a few attempts to achieve the effects you commented on. I rotated the canvas a bunch of times and tried to purposely avoid painting in a noticeable pattern. Love painting in this style.

Lol

Idk why this community hasn’t been popping up in my feed lately, but I’m certainly glad it did. I freaking love sobriety so damn much. I feel like time moves slower and I’m not literally wasting my life away. Being mindful of the here and now is such a powerful state of being, i could never have achieved while i was still drinking.

The only brew I will be drinking is Coffee. Cheers to sobriety!

Paid 40k for a used tesla in 2020 with 35k miles. (The EV was purchased new for 60k in 2018) The car is currently at 131k and going strong, dont even think about battery degradation being an issue worth addressing because there are new Chargers popping up all over the place. Plus the fact that EV roadtrips are much quicker and cheaper when you avoid long charges and charge just long enough to make it to the next charger. Love the fact that used EVs are getting so affordable, just wish folks would realize how much more realible an EV is compared to combustible engines. Plan on driving our car into the ground, even if the car only goes 100 miles on a full charge, that would be more than enough imo. So glad folks can get the same product as me for half the price and never visit a gas pump for the rest of their life.

More pixels plz

Yes workplaces should be a democracy, not the dictatorships that they currently are.

Capitalism does not self regulate, it consolidates. You should try reading Marx and Lenin’s actual writings, you seem very earnest and dont come off as a troll. There are multiple free audio recordings on YouTube of their works. Humanity must escape the all powerful driving forces of the profit motives Capitalism enforces or perish off the face of this earth. That process if it is to take place will appear extremely authoritarian to those who value profit above all else.

Investment Capital should not be a prerequisite for workers to own their means of production.

Yes it is, because authoritarianism isn’t the end goal of ML. You readily acknowledge that we currently live under an authoritarian Capitalist system, can you tell me what the end goal of this system even is? I mean most workers are one missed paycheck away from homelessness. While vast sums of wealth are horded by the top 1% of society with the only end goal being more wealth being extracted from the working class, with no actual goal besides more profit and greater wealth. The end goal of Marxist-Leninism is a classes society where each person contributes what they can to society and receives back what they need to live a fulfilling life. They are extremely different.

Because very few workers possess class conciousness due to decades of capitalist propaganda.

There is nothing authoritarian about workers owning the means of production, and for the record you live under the authority of Capital everyday.

So you’re saying you’d rather have Corporations and Billionaires continue to rob the working class?

It would increase the cost and also complicate the manufacturing process.

So blessed to finally be sober after struggling with alcoholism for a decade. Coming up on a year and a half sober. I literally cant describe how much my physical existence had improved, sobriety is worth the struggle, and it is a struggle to break free from the addiction. I literally drank at minimum a 6 pack every night. Was always able to justify it because i was surrounded by folks who were much more alcoholic than me. My father would literally hide handles of cheap vodka under the sink in his bathtoom and in the back seat of his car while, him and my mothet already had an extensive liquor cabinet. Alcoholism is a disease, and i hope if yoy are struggling with it, you can find relief somewhere other than at the bottom of a bottle.

They should exsist, as a footnote in human history.

Yes. I get called one everytime i defend or advocate for anything left of Bernie Sanders. "

“Communism is the riddle of history solved, and knows itself to be the solution.”

Is as true today as it was when Marx wrote it almost 200 years ago.

That is epic!!! Mad props

Stopping smoking is easy, i used to do it every time my cigarette went out, quitting on the other hand is a lifelong task, but it is worth the struggle. I still crave cigarettes to this day, but dont miss being a slave to that addiction. I would literally collect cigarette butts off the ground and reroll them. If i can quit so can you.
