Sure it can be a reaction but is that sort of growth indicative of inprisonment?

Works is a relative term

I honestly do not think so, I have seen people truly radically differ from how they were raised to be in very healthy ways

This is a weird one maybe but not sleeping. There is a sort of mania that comes from sleep deprevation which can be so satisfying but this isn’t exactly hijacking my dopamine system in the way I think you mean. More close to what you were wanting is short form content like tiktok. I just don’t use them anymore because of it.

Well I smoke weed yeah but it’s not my only way to cope. I go on walks when the weather is nice and sometimes I bury myself in my studies. Reading as well can be a form of escapism but I find that reading about why the world is the way it is also helps. Talking about it with people who’s judgement I respect and who respect my own is likewise fulfilling. I’m lucky to have these people, I might have gone insane by now if the only people who understand my POV were online. I have some experience with IRL political organizing and this has helped to find a sense of purpose, actually helping others who need it even in small ways while the world falls apart goes a long way for my mental health. I wish I had more time for it but academia takes up so much of my energy.

It was capitalism but it wasn’t as much an opposing force as a subsuming force. There was a strong class contradiction between the landed aristocracy and industrial bourgeoisie that often did lead to revolution most notably in the case of France. The urbanization of the labor force was detrimental to the productive capacity of the landed aristocracy and therefore their economic power/relevance. They protected their position through heavy taxation and regulation of business (regulating the parts that affected them not so much the common people) but the pressures created by the advancment of the means of production necessitated a change of the ruling class’s relation to production in that the ruling class must become the industrial bourgeoisie because the economic control they wielded became greater than that of the royalty/aristocracy. As a result the revolutions spawned from the class conflict functioned primarily as a handing over of the keys of power. This is not to say that the conflict between the feudal and capitalist systems was not the primary contradiction of the time but rather to insist no other system transition was feasible under these conditions. I would not call capitalism the enemy of feudalism, rather it was a evolutionary growth of the ruling class in response to changing conditions that sometimes required violent revolution to be accomplished fully.

I hope this is coherent, I was interrupted like 5 times while writing and lost my train of thought. If any clarification or expansion on a detail is needed please ask

Just referencing this lol

It was popular on tumblr for a time

Don’t forget having a fat ass, being so sexy all the time, and always being right

Holy shit it is thank you wth

Not compatable with my phone 😔😔😔 emulator time

I bent the tines on my smallest fork for this one time

I think you are right, that mechanic is very similar

I’m still looking for a mobile game where I played as a necromancer in a castle fighting off the stickman armies of king Otto through spells and by flicking them into the air. It culminated with the necromancer standing upon a pile of corpses topped by the king himself. I really liked that game but it honestly could be lost media.

I disagree with the notion that the GOP respects their voters. They definitely not either. They might fear some of the voters at times but I don’t consider this the same as respect

Got drunk and talked about hating cops to my friend who’s dad is a cop. Honestly he took it way better than I thought

Yeah I know numerous former members of the US military

I don’t hate LLMs I hate how they are being used and what they are being used for. I am not a luddite (even if I jokingly claim to be) and do see value in LLMs for some uses. Just not the ones they are primarily being used for in America

That’s kind of required to become that rich

The college campus most likely
