  • Lots of bad weather in general. Also solar flares and floods, how bad? Fuck if I know you asked for predictions. Meili’s probably going to step back into a position in his own cabinet once he’s felt someone dare insult him for being a murderer fuckup. US politics will be a trainwreck per usual, election bullshit won’t stop even into next year again.


  • Right, in the original, he did a secret mission for NASA and crash landed on an island of cannibals or someshit (still was questionable, in different ways from the film).

    The film stole Forrest Gump’s soul, he was a character with flaws, not just a saintly Murican observer, when he fucked up life quickly turned to kick his ass. He also swore on like every page, fucked all the time and smoked dope with Lt. Dan (who was a manipulative bastard). That’s what got me the most, they turned a mildly anti-war novel into an outright pro-war one.


  • This is the only way I’ve landed jobs. When I was in college a guy boasted about having 3 burner phones to be his own 3 references, he was really good at doing different voices to his credit. I’ve been my own reference on a spare phone I have for such things and it hasn’t backfired yet, lol.

    As an unethical life hack, in general people aren’t too good at distinguishing voices as we think we are, there are exceptions to this rule (higher level educational, research, and entertainment fields have a good ear) depending what you’re looking for so be wary.



  • If you read Fannon’s Wretched of the Earth, what everyone should read after Settlers, also Lenin’s National Question both go through the reasoning why.

    A small tldr is colonized have to feel a connection to their homeland as a precondition to any sort of successful movement to wrest control of themselves, their lands from colonial imperialist powers, this would be broad nationalism the precursor to internationalism, not to be confused with narrow chauvinistic nationalism, the fasc type we have in the US. You have to move out of this stage and form a socialism movement quick, or you’ll get stuck in it and bad shit will happen.

    Pretty much every ‘third world’ country outside the imperial core that has been successful in any form in the past with socialism has gone through that broad national movement with a national bourgeoisie. At first, the national bourgeois allows a colonial nation breathing room from the imperialists for nation building that allows the colonized to explore their own interests, unity, and all that. However, once this is achieved the people need to quickly put down the national bourgeois like the rabid dogs they are cuz if you don’t they’ll split your nation up, sell everyone and their dad out to the imperialists and turn full murderous fasc (this has happened in LatAm and Africa for failures), and turn to a socialist movement. Socialism or Barbarism basically. This includes CN, pretty much what the KMT did. They were based anti-imperialist early on, whichd allowed CN to grow and fight off the imperialists, but then they started to show their fasc character as conditions solidified and had to be put down to allow for the CPC to flourish.

    USSR backed them due to the National question and a issue of survival, it wasn’t ideal of course.

    KMT was primarily pro national bourgeois and didn’t really give a shit about the proletarian or class struggle.
