According to this study, exercise had little to no effect on relieving symptoms in people with depression and while it made the participants healthier due to increased physical activity, it did nothing with regards to improving mood, at least in this particular sample. There’s also the case that if you have a chemical imbalance causing your depression or mood disorder (such as with pituitary gland and other hormonal disorders) or certain genetic predispositions, it may mean that your body can’t produce enough dopamine or other endorphins naturally anyway, so exercise is just going to make you feel tired and sore but with none of the ‘runner’s high’ effects.

I hate exercising for this reason, but obviously I still do it to keep my body healthy (or at least as healthy as it can be).

The idea of ‘dopamine addiction’ is just PopSci bullshit though. The reason we’re ‘addicted’ to our phones is because of alienation in late-stage capitalist society leading to us trying to find some semblance of enjoyment or control over our own lives.

According to the article they’re developing it for people who’ve been paralyzed in accidents (Specifically spinal cord injuries), so that they can control either their existing limbs or prosthesis using their mind. It’s intended as a disability aid.

What the fuck did I just read

Those exist too, you can get them in places like Spencer’s and other ‘novelty’ shops

Stars are really cool. I’m glad I live in an area that doesn’t have much like pollution and I can see constellations with the naked eye.

Also, not sure why you used a screenshot of Kira Yoshikage, but I appreciate it

This is why we need to go back to personally-curated site directories

Don’t forget that he punched the cop because he was misgendered

Apart from the obvious (Capybara, because they are chill, friends with everyone and are communists) I wouldn’t mind being a House Gecko - Squatting in rich beachfront properties, hanging out on ceilings, eating bugs and fruits, freaking out suburban homeowners by dropping on their faces in the middle of the night, sounds like a pretty cool life

I won’t be posting my own site here for opsec reasons, but I’ve met a fair amount of fellow commies and anarchists in the 5 years I’ve used neocities. It’s not really social media, but there’s a small community and one of the most frequented sites there has a bunch of marxist 101 resources which is pretty neat

However, according to the Federal Reserve’s 2022 household financial analysis, if calculated by median net worth, each household is at $192,000, which means half of the households have a net worth below $192,000.

1. What is the general attitude in DPRK with regards to comics, animation, folk tales? Are they mainly seen as vehicles only to show morality to children, or are they seen more as applicable to a wider audience and acceptable for adults to partake in? I’m aware of The Boy General / 소년장수 being popular among both adults and children, but I was unsure if that was just an exception to the rule or not.

2. Are there any aspects of other AES countries that you would like to see implemented in DPRK in the future? e.g. infrastructure, transport etc.

3. Childcare in America and other western capitalist countries is very expensive. What is childcare like in DPRK? Do children have free school meals (and if so what is included?), textbooks, uniforms etc.? Do you have to pay a fee at all, or is everything provided by the government? I’ve heard it’s the latter with regards to textbooks and uniforms, but I’d really like some confirmation.

You wish for people to “read ANYTHING other than Harry Potter”.

I can’t recommend BANANA FISH enough, though the original manga is more explicitly Marxist with regards to its criticisms of the US government and its anti-communist actions in Europe and Asia throughout the Cold War. The main villains are the Corsican Mafia (and their creation by the CIA as part of Operation Gladio), and the CIA (with its imperialist involvement in Vietnam). The anime modernized it by changing it to the Iraq War rather than the Vietnam War, so not everything makes sense from a materialist point of view in that version, but it’s still definitely worth a watch. Heavy trigger warnings for mentions of child abuse (not explicitly shown, but the show doesn’t tiptoe around the fact that the CIA and FBI used and groomed vulnerable populations for their experiments), drug abuse, trafficking, brainwashing, basically everything the CIA was and still is up to.
