i just wanted to be a big man in front of my kids

the brood war installer will aceept ‘0123456789’ (keep repeating digits to fill the space) as a valid serial key

yes flat earthers are used by the social designers to ‘poison the well’. What’s so funny? it would be strange if they didn’t exploit (and cultivate) the immense stupidity of the median person. It makes the job of lying to them easier (and cheaper)

their voices probably shouldn’t be ignored outright, but certainly they should carry less weight than people who currently live in the country, and their comments should be put within appropriate geopolitical context.

Western media is permitted in iran, and specifically they have channels such as ‘iran international’ which operate as instruments of psychological conditioning, to soften the domestic population for hybrid warfare, and to inorganically create social disunity within iran. This has the effect of polluting the minds of regular people who maybe lack a degree of historical or geopolitical knowledge, and who blame their economic hardships on their own government rather than on the exogenous unilateral sanctions.

This means that plenty of iranians think in the same crude emotional terms as westerners, because they are products of the same cultural conditioning. Basically it means this diaspora are incredibly biased, and often believe delusional things about their country and the world. Talk to some iranian monarchists if you haven’t experienced what i’m talking about. Yes it is something of a stereotype and a generalisation but it describes a very real phenomenon.

What do your ‘wide sources’ (something other than a government document from a 5-eyes member) tell you about syria and the challenges it faced as it repeatedly fought isis/al qaeda only to eventually be conquered by the rebranded al-qaeda (HTS) and its current head-chopper president?

your ‘sources’ are the guardian and people from the iranian diaspora? lol.

chomsky was either too stupid to understand what was happening all around him and epstein, or he knew and chose to look the other way.

In either case his status as a public leftist intellectual is gone

zelda 2 was good man

Where does your confidence even come from? western media? the same media which serves the epstein class?

Also you realise that russia is not a communist country right? so accusing me of being a ‘tankie’ here doesn’t really make sense…

I know it’s painful to hear something that isn’t reinforced culturally on the ABC but australia is not a sovereign country, whereas russia is. It is really is that simple. Live wherever you want, prefer whichever country you want, but reality will still be reality.

it sounds like you don’t distinguish between australians and ‘Australia’.

One is a group of people that (if you live here) probably includes everyone you like, know and love, including your immediate family. The other is a nation which exists within a historical and material context, one which can and must be criticised as a matter of civic duty.

Which country recently passed legislation restricting speech on behalf of the zionist entity? the one you live in or the one you read about in australian media?

my russian is a little rusty, plus unfortunately my family still live here.

You think that calling a spade a spade is disloyalty? I just gave a neutral description, i could have been much more flattering of russia and disparaging of australia, but who cares how i feel? i’m just describing reality.

Not super fair to compare a constitutional republic like the russian federation to an american vassal like australia. They don’t have zionists writing their social media laws to pick just one example of australians not deciding what happens in australia.

china already have a supercritical carbon dioxide system integrated into a functioning powergrid and operating commercially. The system exploits an exotic phase of co2 which expands to fill a volume like gas, but moves frictionlessly through tubes as a liquid. There are concerns about lifespan because of how caustic the system is, but apparently some new materials are being trialled which negate this.

not having kids is one of the few things i am utterly, truly grateful for.

we need time to collectively un-domesticate our thinking, and to basically recover enough of our lost human identity to even have bandwidth to imagine some way of life other than wage-slavery. It won’t be easy or quick to undo generations worth of programming, but the disruption is coming either way, AI and the looming collapse demand it.

Covid also woke lots of people up. Suddenly families had time to spend together (including dysfunctional ones), suddenly normies realised that maybe giant pharmaceutical companies actually don’t care about the population’s health so much. It showed people that governments can and will drastically intervene in their lives (including by making money rain from the sky) when there is some threat of elite interests actually being effected. It was a huge, scary and unprecedented event, so it makes sense that people would freak the fuck out. You’ll notice i didn’t even get into mandates or the insane mania our media pushed during the period.

IDK there was more going on than just ‘people suddenly had free time again’. But you’re right lots of people are already so conditioned that the thought of having the ability to spend their own limited earthly time however they wish literally scares them. These people have been separated from their own humanity, and even if the work is painful they deserve to be recovered as anyone else.

the Ferrero brand make nutella and kinder bars, and they also financially support the zionist entity and their ongoing genocide of palestinians. If that’s the kind of thing you’d rather not support i’d suggest avoiding ferrero (and nestle)

i’m replaying final fantasy 6 with a retranslation i haven’t played before called ‘revised old style edition’. I’m still in the world of balance but so far the translation is a good compromise between the innacurate warmth of the woolsey script and the dry accuracy of the slattery script. So far it’s my favourite translation, and next up will be the newly translated ‘t-edition’ mod
