This is one that makes me irrationally angry. If I see someone do this, I’ll return it for them while I stare daggers at them. It’s probably immature, but I don’t give a fuck. People who do shit like this are usually contemptuous shitbags.

Good book on weapon and surveillance systems being tested against Palestinians before deployment elsewhere:

You should read Proudhon’s work “What is property”

A fucking lot.

I sing random shit to my dog and cat a the time. I also baby talk my dog in public. I’m a near a 40yr old man too. There’s dozens of us!

While these are effective, it also works to just throw them back. The canisters are hot, so use a work glove, or something to protect your hand, and move quickly, in one swift motion.

Thank you for the quick reply!

I wouldn’t want to join to be outspokenly against anything and I understand the necessity for party unity. It absolutely makes perfect sense that disagreement should be handled internally and decided upon within the party.

But here is where I differ. I cannot bring myself to believe in a system where there is any centralized authority or hierarchy. To me it flies in the face of freedom and liberation. However, and I may be making the mistakes of the CNT/FAI, Makhno, etc…, I also believe that we must collaborate and coordinate to move toward a state-less society.

I’d love to discuss it with you. I am always open to discussion, reading, etc…

I’ve been looking at the PSL for a while now, but I am an anarcho-syndicalist and am not sure how I would be received. I WHOLLY believe that there has to be unity on the left, and I agree with a lot of ML thought, I just don’t even know if I would be an acceptable candidate to join.

I guess that’s to say: Do you know their thoughts on anarchists and having anarchists working within their org?

I’ve been using Firefox or variants for a long time, so they’re my go-to off the bat.

It’s almost entirely comfort, honestly.

Oh! I’m actually somewhat decent with some useful things. I got sent to a wilderness school for fuck up kids when I was a teen. So I know how to, and have applied a lot of survival stuff.

I know how to effectively make a somewhat permanent shelter. I can make and use a bow drill to make fire, and along the same principal but with much more effort and time I could make fire with hand drill or fire plough techniques. I know how to make basic traps. I can make cordage, and have very, very very basic tracking skills. I know some edible and toxic plants in my area (not exhaustive by any means). I know how to clean and dress game. There’s a lot of other stuff, but those popped into my head immediately.

It’s been a long time since I’ve done all this, but the knowledge and know-how is all there. I’d actually be a decent person to have around!

I quit heroin and other heavy opioids just before fentanyl really hit the streets. Quit cold turkey after losing a few friends and realizing that I could get a bag cut with fent and die, and I couldn’t do that to my siblings; they’re a lot younger than me and really idolized me at the time.

When I was well enough to get to a store without shitting myself or throwing up bile everywhere, I went and bought a handle(1.75l) of the cheapest vodka I could. I continued that every day until 4 years ago.

I have cirrhosis, and my liver could shit the bed at any time, but I’m alive and I’m clean (for the most part) and sober. I work in recovery and am working to become a Drug and Alcohol Counselor now.

I quit smoking about 6 months ago. I went to the store, didn’t have quite enough for a pack, and just haven’t bought another. Tobacco has been the hardest for me by far. Alcohol withdrawal almost killed me - I had to be hospitalized for near a month - but I was on high doses of benzodiazepines so I don’t remember much of it. The cravings for a cigarette are intense. They’ve gotten better zand they will continue to do so, but damn, it’s rough.

I’m an office manager at a methadone clinic. I’m working toward becoming a Drug and Alcohol Counselor. It’s a wonderfully rewarding job and I can’t wait to continue in the field.

Food. I’m making just enough to get my bills paid, but I’ve been eating ramen and Mac and cheese for around a year. I just want to be able to have food in the fridge/cupboard. It’s getting so fucking tiring to never have basic necessities to work so fucking hard to keep my bank account in the negative. I’m so fucking depressed.

Now that I’m done venting, I would absolutely love to be able to get some gifts for my brothers and sisters but it just doesn’t look like it’ll be feasible this year.

My dad had The Blues Brothers on VHS. I used to watch it ALL the time. I’ve seen it upwards of 100 times. It is still one of my favorite movies of all time. When I was a kid 95% of it went over my head, but as an adult, it’s just so good.

Some more I thought of, by no means a comprehensive list though. Just what I’ve read on the subject that appealed to me as I was studying anarchism as a political philosophy.

Statism and Anarchy by Mikhail Bakunin

Anarcho-syndicalism: Theory and Practice by Rudolf Rocker

Mutual Aid by Kropotkin

Trotsky discusses anarchism in Marxism and Ararchism

Nestor Makhno has some interesting writings

Chomsky is good

Émile Armand has some good writings on Individualist Anarchism (he’s very anti-conflict though, which I tend to disagree with)

Lastly, something I would strongly recommend if you’re new to anarchist thought and philosophy is Anarchism: Arguments For and Against by Albert Meltzer.

I am leaving out tons of great writings and writers/philosophers/theorists (and theories)/poets/etc…

There is a lot out there. Let me know if you have any questions!
