While there is some merit to looking at how a team performs and how this can be improved, this is not always the case. My experience with this as a worker and (previously) a supervisory position showed me that the bar for performance will always be raised.

You could be performing just as well or better than people previously in your position, but managers and capitalists will almost always push for more from you. Most think they need constant improvement and growth to justify their position and that of their teams and there can be a very real threat of losing your job because of this.

Just remember that your worth as a human is not tied to your job performance and the system you live in will always be squeezing you for more. You are not a robot. You are not a computer. Humans have limits and pushing yourself past those limits comes at the expense of the quality of your life.

Capitalism necessitates the exploitation of resources, including those of your body in the form of your physical and mental health. Do what you can to maintain stability and financial security in your life, but I suggest looking for work elsewhere if possible.

Have you tried growing garlic or onions yet? They are easy additions to your indoor garden that would go well with the other ingredients.

Power to your peppers!

I don't think it's necessary to freeze it, but idk for sure if you'll see a meaningful change in flavor or texture after freezing.

Usually you can store garlic long-term in a cool, dark place like with other root vegetables, but you need to dry it out first.

Here's a link to a page on curing and storing garlic you've grown at home.

I expect the responses I'm receiving. I don't respond expecting any change, I respond with the hope that once in awhile, someone may come along and read a comment that makes them question the narratives that they've been taught to blindly accept.

I hope that people can look beyond the propaganda they are hit with and realize that continuing to support this conflict will do nothing to help the Ukrainian citizens. What it will do is create a situation where Ukraine is perpetually indebted to NATO countries and the companies within that wish to exploit Ukraine, further enrich the morally bankrupt military industry, and produce dangerous conditions that the Ukrainian and Russian people will be paying for with their health for decades to come similar to what we see in Laos, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Allowing comments with underlying messages and assumptions that dehumanize a people to go uncontested has already led to widespread acceptance of racism towards "the other," which is something that is always unacceptable.

I hope people will quit swallowing the tepid justifications for war that the rich and their puppets push. Splitting those of us who have to pay the costs of their destruction along ideological lines that don't even get to the root of the problem wastes our energy on meaningless discourse and further stabilizes the dictatorship the rich have nearly the entire world under.

How many countries have Russia and China, combined, bombed in the last 10 years?

How many countries has the US alone bombed in the last 10 years?

It's a shame you don't really wonder why people don't describe Russia or China as part of the imperial core, because if you bothered to engage in arguments in good faith, maybe you could finally get the taste of boot off your tongue.

Tell me you're a stupid chud without saying you're a stupid chud.

To answer your questions on China. it's long, but you can just put it on in the background and listen. There is a lot of good content on the subject in this video alone.

Is it really just a simple matter of living within your means when you are constantly bombarded with the idea that you are inferior for not having that shiny new thing and banks are constantly trying to push you into predatory debt schemes like credit cards?

At that point, I don't blame people for not having a retirement fund. This is a systemic problem, not an individual failure and we should look at changing those systemic failures rather than pointing the finger at people and saying, "you fell for our bullshit and now you are poor. Shame on you!"

People love to have something to live for, but they end up making work their personalities because they have no time or energy for anything else. Turns out if you give people time to actually build a life, they don't want to go to work constantly.

Oof. Check out what retirement ages were in the USSR. They were very similar to China with options to retire earlier if you worked more physically demanding jobs.

Turns out retirement ages in the imperial core have always been worse and since there is no big bad red to be scared of, the capitalists don't feel the need to make the same kind of concessions they needed to make to prevent similar uprisings in their country in the past.

Your life is being stolen from you for someone else's profit. It will always be this way under a capitalist system.

I agree fully. When I first began lurking Lemmygrad, this is what I generally saw people doing and it's part of what convinced me to sign up and keep coming back.
