lots of good advice here. I agree with the sentiment that having a SO won't make you feel like less of a loser.
But here is my two cents. I think the point of being in a romantic relationship with someone is to hang out with someone that you like and who likes you (and, you know, have sex if you're into that). Really not much more to it than that.
I don't disagree but I still can't help myself from enjoying Doctor Who.
But you'd think a time travelling alien would be a lot more terrified and saddened by the material conditions of the 20/21st century. The Doctor can travel time and space and thus would have seen the very best and most equitable systems sentient beings have ever created. The show definitely forwards a very hobbesian ideology in that even when humans / sentient beings have no scarcity, they still end up doing evil things because apparently sentient beings are inherently selfish and bad.
And I'm sure there is an argument that the doctor saving the day reflects a sort of "white man's burden" discourse.
With all that said, i still think it's one of the best sci-fi TV shows.
Hasn't Bernie revealed himself to be quite pro-israel? Quite a few comments here have been saying he is just as jingoistic as a typical liberal / conservative.
ah my bad. I just remember the name change and the struggle sesh happening around the same time. guess I got the order wrong.
Did the vegan struggle sesh of (2020?) not have anything to do with the name change either? I remember this place was in shambles when that was happening, with all the brigading and what not. The name changed def coincided with with the mass ban wave of the time.
But maybe this is just my own revisionist history or something idk
Bold to imply that Polanyi was not a Marxist. Certainly not an orthodox Marxist, to be fair. But due to McArthyism he had to use a lot of euphemisms for more explicitly Marxist terms (I remember reading that he had to live in Canada and commute into the USA to teach because his wife was a radical forbidden from entering the US).
Further, Polanyi's concepts of embeddedness and the indeterminacy of capital became pivotal to the Marxist labour process theorist like Braverman and Burawoy. You can't read a single Marxist anthropology paper without seeing Polanyi's influence either, he is thoroughly a part of the Marxist anthro / soci canon.
