Lower Manhattan Community Middle School (LMC) is a school that takes the word "community" seriously. Each student commits to an art major after the 6th grade (Visual Art, Digital Art, Music, and Dance). Great for future artists as it definitely can be the start of a “rags to riches” story. Heavy on the rags. Mice are frequent and welcome members of the community and roaches love to join in on dodgeball games in the gym. The school curriculum tries (and can fail) to be progressive, leading to a lot of “interesting” lessons and even more interesting personalities. Hippies, basketball stars, wallflowers, and ignorant will usually end up in groups together. Like every middle school, students will be embarrassed of their time at the school, but at least they made it out alive.
No visual art teacher has ever stayed at LMC (Lower Manhattan Community Middle School) for more than a year.
Yeah, I went to LMC (Lower Manhattan Community Middle School). I miss it but I’d never go back…
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".
