I was finally getting started on Capital this weekend, and he makes an offhand note about diamonds regarding their value, basically saying: “If we were to contrive a way to create diamonds from carbon, the price of diamonds would fall to the price of bricks”. Well, it turns out In general, lab-created diamonds are about 60-90% cheaper than natural diamonds. They may not be “The price of bricks” but they sure are a hell of a lot cheaper than natural diamonds.
Round’m up, put them in a room, make them all be friends. They all have that in common.
Jokes aside, maintaining relationships is not easy, and the capitalism does not make it easier.
Owen Heart died in the ring when his harness failed and he hit a turnstiles during an entrance. Undertaker had his face scorched pretty bad and had to perform through it. It isn’t just the in ring stunts that do damage. Its a live stunt performance, and its all very dangerous.
Damn live journal is still a thing?
This is what re-education camps are for people!
Came here to say this
An estimated 250,000 people marched on Washington in August 28, 1963 to march for civil rights. Just to put it into context.
What’s truly ridiculous is how obvious it is and yet this Democrat held institution has done nothing about it.
Its only been a thing since, what? The 30s? So not always.
You both are saying the same thing. Wake up.

Fat, in my feet? Ridiculous.
I know that our library system is time based and will give patrons a limit they can renew. Probably something you can do with a script too. I think their software has a management console so they can remotely terminate the sessions.
I’m now seeing all the articles I read posting that retraction. What wild times we live in.
Mr. Parenti, are you a Marxist?
Parenti: This is my answer. I would wear that label proudly if I knew that you understood what I meant by Marxist. And when someone says: ‘You’re a Marxist now aren’t you?’ and their only intention is to give a buzzword which says ‘this guy drinks the blood of capitalist children’ or something, then I’m going to say no, I’m not your label, I don’t particularly want your label.
[…] Look, I wrote the book about the media. I don’t know what Karl Marx has to say about 20th-century US media, I think he had very little to say because you know… he left early. But there’s been a lot of creative thought and scholarship in Marxist literature and I feel that it’s a scholasticist thing [to say]: ‘Oh, you took your [Marxist] formula and applied it here…’
See, I don’t see these things this way because I’m a Marxist. it’s just the opposite. I started seeing these things and I started realizing that there was an analysis that had explanatory power for that. It gets very frustrating you know. For years I’d knock myself out trying to make an analysis, I’d come to the conclusion and I’d say: ‘Hey you know, the police are not neutral, they’re on the side of property and power.’ Then someone would say to me: ‘That’s Marxism, you know, you’re sounding like a Marxist.’
That’s Marxism… oh. Then I’d say: 'Wealth is largely unaccountable in many of the things it does in our democracy, I don’t understand, that isn’t what I learned … ’ / ‘Oh that’s a Marxist point of view, Marx said that you know.’ and it would go on, one thing after another and I said:
‘Boy, this Karl Marx was really something, you know, every time I put two and two together and come up with an analysis they give him the credit for it.’
Yeah, I hear you, defending America isn’t high on my list either.
Email has been around for what, 50 years? I guess that makes me a brand new concept too.
