God dammit why are all these communists in my house?!

and there’s like 15 people debating but like ones on the bookshelf, ones hanging from the ceiling, another’s in the laundry hamper etc

One of them needs a band-aid bc they accidentally got a paper cut while excitedly trying to pick up some theory🩹

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

It’s been years since I’ve heard those words🚬OK, I’m back. For one. Last. Job🚬

Trashfuture is good at looking at some news and economic things, but some of their AES takes aren’t great. Anyone else have an opinion about them?

I find them very entertaining. I think they’re generally good and they haven’t jumped on the Ukraine band wagon as far as I know. Or at the very least they tend to avoid the topic. Milo is hilarious but has piss poor takes on current and historical socialist countries and similarly Alice occasionally has channy/memey quips about the USSR. Riley generally seems to steer away from this and acts reserved so I suspect either he thinks this memey USSR stuff is based on poor surface-lever analysis or he may be some type of communist but not want to directly contradict them. Or I wouldn’t be surprised if he is just trying balance an audience that ranges from radlib to communist since most often these topics are avoided, and it seems quite intentional.

Another podcast with a similar dynamic is QAnon Anonymous, though they are a bit more lib. Similarly, they seem to avoid, to a certain extent, topics that would pit communists and radlibs. Travis is a dyed in the wool lib, though he seems well meaning and has some vaguely anticapitalist sympathies; Jake plays the dumb funny guy; and I suspect Julian may secretly be a communist (or adjacent), possibly even keeping under the radar of the other hosts. I think they recently had on the two guys that do The Dollop and Dave Anthony similarly seems com/com-adjacent (though I don’t like the format of his show that much). Together they really brought out the anti-capitalist elements of some of the hosts.

I’ve listened to trash future and this is my take as well.

It’s a load of white British (and one canadian) socialists so I expected what I got from it.

Good jokes, questionable takes outside of the imperial core.

I think one of them is a different ethnicity, I think his name’s Hussein. Also Alice is muslim but I think she converted so I have no idea.

But yeah they’re not as based as the deprogram or anything.

Don’t worry lol it’s an audio format and you pretty much read their politics right. I think I listened to it for a year before realizing Hussein and Riley were even different people lmao

That said the whole intro sketch about debating in the market place of ideas and the quinoa kymer rouge made me howl.

I get what “Multigrain” means in this context, but I have yet to make sense of what could be an “Original” Western podcast

Multigrain is 100% marketing fluff. Whole grain bread is indeed healthier due to having the husk, which has fiber as well as vitamins and minerals, but putting more than one kind of grain, presumably all without the husks (because if they were truly whole grain you think they’d also say that), means very little for nutrition.

Also, is it not bullshit that whole grain anything is way more expensive despite requiring less processing and less raw material since you don’t have to remove parts of the grain seeds? Back in the Victorian era whole grain was normie bread and white bread was more expensive. Why the hell did that flip around in the 21st century?

I love the energy and its on brand for these clowns BUT shrooms don’t make you scream at inanimate objects.

Shrooms are great. It’s sad so many people associate them with that fucking Chud trash Rogan now. I guided a friend through his first trip and we were both at ego death levels. Like you are no longer a human. Just sort of a thought floating in the void of existence. Idk how people would run around and do crazy shit on them. I find it hard to do anything but sit around and stare at trees and clouds and stuff. My cats were going berserk and playing around us and I could watch their color patterns flowing around them like wisps. It was pretty awesome. Just a super peaceful sunny day. Have noticed a significant increase to my mental stability since that day. He said he feels just better mentally in general.

Well IT’S FUNNY YOU SAY THAT but shrooms in several (lots) of clinical studies have shown to help depression in individuals.

That to me says we should be pumping research into what active has this effect and finding a more suitable solution of acute and chronic depression through the active present in shrooms vs doping people up and killing their self with anti depressants.

People think you go on this massive trip where its like a Hollywood/cartoon LSD dreamscape but its not. You just perceive things differently.

I know exactly what you mean about the colour whisps, it’s like you just vibe and perceive more colour and detail, giving everything a vibe that’s entertaining in itself.

I’m all for people giving them ago provided they are stable when they want to indulge, have a friend to guide them through and are in a safe environment.

Omg I used to be a big Rogie bc he had Bernie on (and he had funny coming of age stories that I identified with) and I was cooming over the fact that my SocDem Savior was on. I was like “😎Cool! Bernie convinced Rogan of a few points, he’s shifting Rogan to the left😎” then I saw Rogan take a HARD right turn and become a complete POS. Lucky for me he took that hard turn or I’d still watch him, the bad thing is that many others did still watch him and became pieces of shit like him, I was so close to being a CHUD permanently shudders
