    Makes sense. I dated a girl a few years ago who legitimately hated jewelry. But she was kind of a serious 'abolish the wage system' type of communist.

    She didn't march or shout or anything (she was actually really shy and quiet) but she thought conspicuous consumption was dumb.

    it is

    also i am an abolish the wage system type communist (aka just a communist)

    So new gym that's like 3 blocks from my house

    kinda spendy ($70 a month after taxes etc.)

    doesn't have the equipment I want (boxing / wrestlin' stuff, so most gyms don't have it)

    but it is super clean and has really nice facilities and new machines and fucking 19 inch tablets attached to basically everything and free wifi

    and its 3 blocks from my house

    so overall lookin' forward to it, opens in about a week

    time to unsoft myself.

    i have a smelly shit gym that is in a basement and full of meatheads and is too hot and has a low ceiling

    but it's cheap and only a block away

    so i am not losing that much money when i refuse to go to it

    1. I grew up poor. Not quite white trash but poor.
    2. My politics.

    He doesn't live in Houston thankfully.

    Ah, he sounds super WASPy

    Do you know much about economics?

    Because I've been told that Labor Theory is pretty shit wrong, but it wasn't sufficiently explained to me why.

    I need someone to learn me a thing.

    Because I'm pretty attracted to some traditional marxist stuff, but it's mixed up with economics that look right, but I don't know much about economics.

    how well can you read stuff that isn't digital?

    like books/comic books/etc

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    My favorite gym ever

    was a little hole-in-the-wall place, run by a gigantic bodybuilder named "Osiris," he basically built a private basement gym for himself and then rented it out to some other people

    it was cheap ($40 a month) and the owner NEVER tried to upsell anyone on anything, it had two bathrooms with showers, it had lockers, and it had a shitload of weights for real workouts because the owner was a legit competitive bodybuilder and purchased a bunch of free weights and racks instead of fancy futuristic treadmill bullshit for half hour power walks.

    The best part is when I ended my membership because I was moving out of the area

    I just sent him an e-mail and said "Liked the gym, moving away, lemme know if you need anything else"

    nope

    no "come in sign 8 forms let us try to argue with you about whether you're allowed to cancel"

    just an e-mail and "thanks for being a customer."

    Good luck with the face stuff.

    That shit was never all that useful for me. Wouldn't keep things under control or was just too fucking hard to get out once it was in.

    I just ended up trimming my beard back enough that it doesn't get too crazy.
