How does it compare to a strong union?English4·5 months agoWorker cooperatives prove the important but limited point that while capitalists need workers, workers don’t need capitalists. Most ‘employee-owned’ companies in the US and UK are mainly owned by the highest levels of management with some more buy-in for middle management. It’s typically done with some kind of vesting scheme that keeps junior employees on the hook for years.
These firms still exist firmly within a capitalist context and require workers to become their own exploiters.

bubbalu [they/them]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you feel if somebody you knew told you they had NPD?English3·7 months agoI think unfortunately you do need to have a lot of pre-emptory remarks prepared. The key things to cover are to establish your self-awareness and then discuss some of the triggers of your difficult behaviors and how you want others to feel empowered to address them.
This isn’t one-to-one with a cluster b disorder, but I struggle a lot with compulsively making mean comments. With new friends, I have a short speech explaining it, how I share my true thoughts, and encouraging them to directly speak to me if they feel upset or offended. Sadly, it doesn’t work all the time and more people bounce off sooner, but the people who do stay around it has been possible to build more secure and healthy friendships with.
It might be helpful to find a similar process for yourself.
No need to be stinky, they’re just asking for advice. If you’re annoyed don’t respond, but why be rude?

bubbalu [they/them]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I thrive in Summer Camp-style environments. What job/hobby should I do?English1·2 years agoStrongly encourage you to find work in a conservation corps or similar organization if they exist in your country and you are able to do manual labor. You would be on a crew of 6-15 people usually living out at a field site for 1-2 weeks at a time, cooking and living and working together to improve the natural environment or recreation infrastructure. Hard rewarding work, good peaceful downtime. Great chance to read a lot of books too since you will be away from computers and modernity.
bubbalu [they/them]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•is there a limit to the point that i will find women attractive?English1·2 years agoEventually looks are going to be the least important component of attraction. It will continue to be about emotionality and familiarity. Young adults are going to feel less and less relatable and therefore less and less attractive.
bubbalu [they/them]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People that don’t wear antiperspirant…English24·2 years agoPeople generally tell me I smell good so I don’t worry too much about it. I sometimes wear perfume and I usually burn a lot of incense and scented candles at home so probably I have some passive aromatherapy on all my clothes.
bubbalu [they/them]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?English2·2 years agoI switched to a $20 feature phone years ago and been so much happier healthier.
bubbalu [they/them]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?English2·2 years agoOr actually less than half as much because the odds I have two big spills in a short window is much less than having one big spill.
bubbalu [they/them]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?English2·2 years agoI discovered this strat on accident! Blew out my favorite jeans irreperably, and my replacement pair was actually two replacement pairs. My limiting factor on how long between laundry loads is how much lunch is on my jeans and now I have a backup pair so I do laundry half as much on average.
bubbalu [they/them]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?English4·2 years agoBig feel you on this one. There was a while I would hate-listen to NPR on my drive and realized how badly that was making me shit my ass. One day, I was listening to ‘Lovely Day’ by Bill Withers with the windows down and an older lady started dancing while I was at a stoplight and blew me a kiss. Terry Gross not giving me nothing that compares to that…
bubbalu [they/them]@hexbear.netto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People of Lemmy! How to get fit?English2·2 years agoFor me, the big thing was to deliberately eat regular meals and cut back on beer. I am already pretty active with the things I like to do and how me and my friends like to roughhouse a lot. With good inputs, I’ve gotten a lot stronger just living the life I want to live and have been even more empowered to be silly and active because my strength and endurance have improved. Virtuous cycle. Also, I finally got a work computer and can walk to work because I don’t need to carry it back and forth.
I have a lot of Himbo tendencies so take with a grain of salt!
Absolutely no comparison! In any cooking method, the energy cost is a few cents, but cooking from dry is 6-8x cheaper.
