I wont own a home ever in my life so im really just spitballing here on this topic.
You have raised a good point and what I have taken away from it is that maybe your specific HOA is just too damn big! In my head I feel like it should be broken up into smaller groups which might make it slightly more manageable for people. That would not get rid of the bureaucracy of all the other stuff that goes into this but ya know it might help.
Also I think that maybe everyone should have a turn to be involved with the HOA. This strays into my vision of a "better" society. People are happy to palm this sort of thing off onto others then quick to complain when things don't go their way, but as you said people aren't aware of what you are doing. So naturally for everyone to have an equal idea they all have to have a turn doing the work. Again easier said than done and probably a symptom of the world's idea of how politics works. I should say that my thinking is often inspired by anthropological texts of how indigenous societies function which is not the best way to view our modern way of life but if you wanna be involved in society, you kinda have to be INVOLVED in society.
With all that said I actually don't know about what im talking about with regards to this topic so take whatever I said with a pinch of salt. Good luck with whatever choice you make and keep up the good fight for your community.

bushbear LinkThe Norwegians have made an enemy for life! I was hoping they would give the recipe, then I saw he had organic oats, black oats that he had to soak for 24hrs. Il stick to my regular oats I guess.The Norwegians have made an enemy for life!

What gets me is when the conspiracy starts to get complex and they start to invent their own version of science to fit the conspiracy. The amount of effort that then goes into proving their theory would be the same as actually just learning science. Obviously by this point they are in too deep and rejecting the conspiracy would be social suicide.
I hope this made sense. Its early in the morning for me.

I am also sore in various parts of my body that have been neglected exercise-wise. Im not sure how long I will be able to stay on after the beginner month but as long as I get some basics of boxing down I will be happy.
The fitness classes they offer are fairly intense as they are designed for boxing fitness, which is crazy fit haha. All in all I think I made the right call to do this as I will be able to defend myself and be fit which is a win win.

I'm no expert in this field(ha) but I'm currently studying environmental policy and this seems like the kinda thing that might be worth knowing.

Overall I thought it was an accurate depiction of what that whole scene has become.
I went and watched the other taken down videos about rogan and they were also fairly funny and entertaining. I think his style probably isn't for everyone but if you have been watching all the other videos it makes more sense and you are more 'jn' on the style. Ya know that's just like my opinion man.

As for Naomi Klein I'll add that to the list. If its on verso books I might pick it up during another sale.

Well written and easy to understand with no real fluff but each chapter boils down to "this corporation extracted value from a terrible situation and everyone had a bad time...except the profiteers." Highly recommended if you into that sort of stuff.
Then I'm reading the second book in the silo series called Shift. Its a really fun read (probably due to how depressing the other book is) and is continuing the mystery of the silo from a completely different viewpoint.

Had a major need to listen to blink-182 this week so iv worked my way through their first 5 albums. They are soo fun and very silly at times.
Gonna balance out the sound of simpler times by listening to the first 2 swans albums since iv never actually given them a proper listen. If you don't know early swans then it is industrial/noise rock that is very heavy and dark.
