It is telling that you took, “stop blaming women for everything” personally to the point that you decided to insult them.

Do some self-criticism.

Through academification, Jazz is treated like a 2000-year old rigid mathematical framework that you need to practice correctly for 15 years before you’re allowed to speak on it. The priests training to do this need $5000-$20,000 for their instrument(s), a private tutor for a decade, band camp every summer for 4-6 years, experience in 3-5 ensembles, and then a bachelor’s degree in music at minimum, so about $30k or so just for the music classes part. Then and only then can you truly appreciate the theory of “Charlie Parker improvised using registers” and, “Jazz is about knowing when to play the wrong note, honky”.

I think they can hide behind copium right into complete destitution.

Log scales are great but cannot be understood by the vast majority of people. They simply aren’t taught to a level of comprehension.

Costco is the latter but it’s a grocery store so their mechanisms are limited. Here’s a Costco union busting just a few days ago: https://dailyiowan.com/2025/03/30/workers-accuse-coralville-costco-of-union-busting/

Also you should accept that every company with a union wants it gone and is trying to find ways to kill it. Hire more staff to non-union positions, shrink union positions, delay contract negotiations, close unionized shops preferentially, buy off union leadership with perks/collaborationism. Many a petite bourgeoisie has shuttered their union shop citing financial problems only to reopen a few months later, suddenly union-free. And of course, slowly whittling away union sentiment and pushing a decert.

It achieved false catharsis, the main scam product Democrats are always selling. Performative nonsense immediately contradicted by their actual (lack of) actions. Immediately afterwards they helped confirm a Trump judicial appointment with help from Booker. His long speech wasn’t even to delay any legislation. It has no so-called momentum, which you can note has no stated descriptors in the other comment. Momentum for what? Sitting on your hands and then voting for them again in 4 years? This is not a real political party, it is just the controlled opposition of the US political duopoly trying its usual parlor tricks to make its potential voters stop recognizing how they aren’t cleaning house or really doing anything at all.

Real parties do exist. It is a struggle due to the aforementioned duopoly and general level of political education in the USA, but it is a struggle worth joining because this is the only “opposition” you will ever see being forwarded by the Democratic Party by its own volition. Every bit of progress has been hard fought and its vanguard has always been left organizing outside of the major parties. Join that vsnguard!

Save money, learn to live cheaply, and become a socialist organizing your community.

That’s correct. SEIU is wed to the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party supports most of what Trump does but knows it would be bad optics to outright say so. And they have no functional means of resistance - their constant goal is to get elected by simply not being Republicans so that they don’t have to actually implement publicly beneficial policy. And because of this, they guarantee a Republican victory the next time around. So SEIU has a worse than useless political arm, it actually works against itself due to myopia, liberal cooption, and corruption.

But the nice thing about organized labor is that you can struggle within it. You can help make your local better, help tie it to practical action, help get socialists into positions of power within it. It will sometimes be a fight but this is also infinitely more impact than you would ever have via electoral politics.

If you don’t count oip and spices, then any kind of dal. Dal, onion, ginger garlic paste, chili, tomato. Then add your spices, which can be as simple as garam masala, turneric, and red chili powder. Salt after it’s cooked. Aside from the onion everything can come from the pantry or freezer. Technically you could blend and freeze the onion to make life even easier.

I know I’m pushing it but this is basically the easiest meal ever and it’s just one pot. You only need to dirty a cutting board, knife, and spoon. It’s nearly a pantry meal and requires no thought or special technique aside from knowing when onions are caramelized but not burned. And it’s vegan, gluten free, and very inexpensive.

The “political” mods of lemmy.world always call inconvenient facts, “misinformation”. They’re trying their best to reproduce the liberal fact-checker culture of around a decade ago where there were liberal nannies evaluating posts for left wing thought and helping to maintain their walled garden of mainstream propaganda. There still are such nannies, of course, but they’re more openly reactionary now. This kind of person thinks that if Snoped wrote an article about it, that’s all there is to it.

Selectively incurious and intellectually lazy, the real impetus behind this form of liberalism is a simple contradiction: their entire political philosophy is predicated on them being a good and correct and moral person with good and correct and moral views, totally unassailable, but their beliefs are incoherent and often disagree with reality and they spend very little time actually learning and understanding the topics they weigh in on. And they’re used to contrasting themselves with more openly reactionary people that are even less likely to be in alignment with reality, which really makes them feel good and correct and moral. So when presented with left thought, i.e. fsr more coherent and informed opinions, they have a little crisis in their identity and lash out, looking for some way to shore up the opinion they hold after all of five minutes of research. Failing that they just act like a big baby.
