I've been going to school part-time through most of the pandemic. My fulltime job as an essential employee, in addition to many forced hours of OT from short staffing, hasn't derailed me. Having a baby, now a toddler, hasn't put me off track. Managing a lawsuit, selling my home then going through the arduous task of finding another didn't deter me. Even having 10 hours a week eaten up by union work made worse by budget cuts, organizers resigning, and some of the shittiest coworkers you can imagine hasn't stopped me getting through school.

I swear to god trying to find the cheap pdf versions of this quarter's textbooks has me past my breaking point. The multitude of layered costs in this deeply insidious cash grab we call an education system is... overwhelming.

You do a lot of things. I am proud of myself if I run the dishwasher (emptying is a different day).

what does TFF think of Ruth Bader Ginsburg now that it's been a while?

love her because of her long history of leading the way, decisions, personality, etc.?

or hate her because of the way she went out on the court?

She was racist and capitalist and her decisions reflected that.

She was not the progressive champion she is made to be, although in fairness she was technically more progressive than a lot of her contemporaries. But that’s indictment of the contemporaries more than praise of RGB.

While I was in isolation last week, my brother in law recommended the new Battlefield game and when I asked how the campaign mode was, he was like "oh, it's multiplayer only."

gently caress, like, I'm 38 I dont play games to get murdered by 12 year olds with no responsibility who play 12hrs a day.

I just played Hades and RDR2 nonstop.

Yeah, I get what you're saying but AOL, IRC, BBSs, stuff like that weren't subject to a malignant algorithm and the sort of automated funneling toward extreme ends of every ideology and interest.

Also those entities allowed internet anonymity (which has pros and cons).

There is something deeply unsettling that people are now born into the internet where your internet presence is actually connected to your name, face, and lived experiences.

From a growth perspective, people do dumb poo poo. Cringe occurs in the space between doing dumb poo poo and being a better person. But with the internet the dumb event is locked in electronic history. Society needs to be way more forgiving and growth oriented for that to be okay and obviously our society is not there.

It’s also weird as gently caress to have kids talk about “their brand” as they try and build their social media presence.

What do you all think the future of elected officials and CEOs looks like?

There will come a time* when humans were all born into the social media age. People will have their Facebook pages or their Reddit posting histories locked into electronic history.

Does that mean we will see an acceptance of dumb/offensive poo poo that kids say as a different point in that person’s life cycle? Does that mean that it will be weaponized so that individuals who serve the system have it ignored while those who challenge the system are punished (ex/ Biden’s atrocities swept out of national media, fake outrage about Bernie amplified).

Or does that mean that the future is nothing but Buttigeigs. Little sociopaths calculating every move.

*pending survival of plague, climate change, etc.

Healthcare and lifting goons: Any recommendations for grapefruit sized massage balls?
Actual massage balls I've looked at cost $25+ so a cheaper alternative would be welcome.


YLLS Equipment thread suggested softball balls. Might give that a try. Seems about right?

Ornery, thank you for checking in. We are doing okay, riding it out in the house and hoping my wife can land a job by summer. Her citizenship interview is coming next week which will help out a lot if she passes. This civics exam has some tough questions, like knowing who the authors of the Federalist papers are.

That question is impossible. I studied that early American stuff and I don’t remember.

I’m rooting for you, friend.

It's a stupid thing to buy. Just get a foam roller for like 5 bucks off amazon. Back pain is associated with breaking calcium deposits but the root of the issue is usually exercise focusing on the muscle groups around the pain. If you're serious about addressing it work on that and look up some decent stretches for associated areas. Don't get fooled into these stupid massage balls.

I have a foam roller and that’s good. I also have a lacrosse ball. Those are both good but there’s some specific muscles I want to target where I think a tough, larger ball would be useful.

I also of course am doing stretches and targeted exercises. Isometric exercises. Care to join me?

You can only stay shut in one place for so long so going out if you’re vaccinated isn’t the end of the world. Being cooped up in one place doesn’t seem very healthy.

There’s a big gap between “literally isolated alone in one place” and “going to a several mega events”.

I was super cautious and largely self isolated, and I still got sick.

Other folks are regularly out at shows and Applebees swapping spit, and do not get sick.

The world is a mystery.
