this is just the best idea for a show ever...i could watch slowmo animals all day

somebody should make a webpage where when you type in your name/password it stores the wrong names/passwords you put in, they'd probably get access to a lot of people's emails that way... like only keep the passwords that are over 50% different than the right password

I like watching the ones where the dogs and cats drink. I've always thought it was kinda funny to watch IRL but this opens up a whole new dimension of entertainment

if anyone ever hurt lori would tear their eyes out out by the balls.

This primitive accumulation plays in Political Economy about the same part as original sin in theology. Adam bit the apple, and thereupon sin fell on the human race. Its origin is supposed to be explained when it is told as an anecdote of the past. In times long gone by there were two sorts of people; one, the diligent, intelligent, and, above all, frugal elite; the other, lazy rascals, spending their substance, and more, in riotous living. The legend of theological original sin tells us certainly how man came to be condemned to eat his bread in the sweat of his brow; but the history of economic original sin reveals to us that there are people to whom this is by no means essential. Never mind! Thus it came to pass that the former sort accumulated wealth, and the latter sort had at last nothing to sell except their own skins. And from this original sin dates the poverty of the great majority that, despite all its labour, has up to now nothing to sell but itself, and the wealth of the few that increases constantly although they have long ceased to work. Such insipid childishness is every day preached to us in the defence of property. M. Thiers, e.g., had the assurance to repeat it with all the solemnity of a statesman to the French people, once so spirituel. But as soon as the question of property crops up, it becomes a sacred duty to proclaim the intellectual food of the infant as the one thing fit for all ages and for all stages of development. In actual history it is notorious that conquest, enslavement, robbery, murder, briefly force, play the great part. In the tender annals of Political Economy, the idyllic reigns from time immemorial. Right and “labour” were from all time the sole means of enrichment, the present year of course always excepted. As a matter of fact, the methods of primitive accumulation are anything but idyllic.

not THAT kind of professor. that is true though, I might bring it up when I meet with him. he only touched upon the punishment of labor right before the end of class to go out with a bang (it's a class all students must take, so there's a good mix of people in there)

earlier we were talking about how environmentalism is a western problem since it's a commodity and another student raised her hand to ask if literature could be ??? not really sure were she was going with it. but she really just wanted to ramble about Twilight and how it was helping the real indians that live near that town, so does that mean literature could be. he explained how it's a commodity, but even calling twilight a commodity seems like you're giving it too much credit. a commodity by derivative/commodity by proxy. I guess that's most things though.

idk if environmentalism is a commodity, but it definitely plays a role in commodity fetishism(ie: by buying 7th generation soap im doing something other than just simply exchanging a bit of my labor-time for a bottle of soap). it seems like yr professor has a weird idea of what commodities are and it's kinda funny that he says they're 'western' but it sounds like he's almost there!

well, those are my words. environmentalism isn't born as a commodity, but it usually is one. and it wasn't that commodities are western, the discussion was about why the western conception of "environmental problems" is not something that should be adopted by everyone in the world. cuz environmentalism is ideally a social problem, but it is almost only ever addressed as an economic one--based on western economies. I remember I wrote an article about green something in one of my first years of college, and looking back pretty much all the concerns I raised were economic ones, besides maybe health but that's debatable

when the tories get their way, we won't have an environment left

IDK, commodities are generally objects or services that have a use and an exchange value that are produced specifically for bringing into the market. i think environmentalism would be more of a factor in shaping the use-value aspect in a commodity rather than being a commodity itself because you don't really buy 'environmentalism', but rather objects that in some way embody it. It is definitely something that's been playing a growing role in what and how things are produced and sold

the social and economic are inseparable in the era of 'real domination' of capital everything's at the mercy of the law of value, i can't even piss in a toilet without buying a small coffee first. you can't save the planet from the destruction that the economy is causing without finding another way to make MORE money, otherwise it's all tough titties chumps

i spent quite a few minutes searching for a fern gully gif to accompany that poast
