After doing a bit of reading, it seems like the Supercharged Subaru Sambar is the Kei truck I want. They're the easiest to work on, it's the only one with a 4-cylinder engine, said engine is located behind the rear axle as opposed to under the seat and it has the most spacious cab. Unfortunately they're relatively scarce. I'd much rather just buy one from a localish dealership with of all the bureaucracy already dealt with but I'm starting to think I'm going to need to deal with an importer, do a bunch of paperwork to get it road legal and possibly even drive it home 1600km from the port in Halifax. This would end up being cheaper than buying it ready-to-go but the amount of work involved is daunting. Needless to say I'm having second thoughts and am starting to look at late 80s/early 90s trucks in general since this was the last time auto makers made reasonably sized vehicles

You should learn how to drive manual. There's really nothing to it and it's a good skill to have.

Such a shame that Skoda became glorified Volkswagens and Tatra ceased production on passenger vehicles. Czechoslovakia's auto industry had so much potential.

This is my haul from a couple of charity shops today.

The biggest PEAK of Latinx American comics? I mean, what's the competition? Mafalda and CUCKdorito?

Can commies reclaim Superman or is he forever destined to be an AmeriKKKan propaganda mouthpiece?

>>46370
Mafalda is Peak tho.

I think about this a lot. There's some Alex Ross comic where superman tries to fix the world or some shit. He tries to bring food to starving Africans and of course the evil dictator blows it up, and supes has a cry about it. Then I think about the scene in Marvelman where Marvs tells all the world leaders that we're doing socialism now. Margaret Thatcher tries to tell him no, and he basically tells her "I'm not asking" and glares at her so hard it damn near kills her.

ones of the problems with making fun off rightoids is you can say the dumbest shit you can possibly think of and they'll unironically be like "literally me bro". I could deadass make a joke abt rightoids not showering but they alr go on rants about the fucking showerjew.

>I also used to think it would be cool to see female space marines (I like Samus Aran) but now I know the lore and the fact that Sisters of Battle exist.
On the other hand, trans space marines can still be a thing. Like, space marines were already turned into these giant throbbling pieces of meat so they already had surgery on their bodies technically, it only makes sense to go even further and just transition.

I just wanted to continue this post a bit, to explain part of why I'm promoting pro-wrestling.
As an aside, picrel is a Japanese wrestler named Veny. Veny is a trans woman and both quite popular and successful on the Japanese pro-wrestling scene at the moment.
Now, I think pro-wrestling has a lot to offer from a leftist perspective. Which sounds absurd, given that its original audience was redneck hicks, but hear me out.
Pro-wrestling is the antithesis of MMA in many ways. In MMA, you can be the meanest, most selfish fuck ever to step on the mat and, so long as you're stronger than everyone else, people just have to take it and accept you as a winner and sing your praises. At its core, it's a very right-wing sport. Winning is all that matters in the end.
Pro-wrestling, on the other hand, is a storytelling medium. In the past, it was full of men who looked out for themselves but the mentality has changed for the most part - those types gravitate towards MMA. Instead, pro-wrestlers largely understand that they are a team. While in MMA you are competing against your opponent, in pro-wrestling you are actually working together to put on a show where it *appears* you are in competition. Whether you win or lose personally is less important than whether the match you put on is entertaining and tells a good story. You're not doing it for yourself or your own self-aggrandizement, but rather for the sake of the fans who made an effort to come see you.
And it's the stories that matter. In my earlier example, in MMA the bad guy wins if he's stronger. In pro-wrestling, being the good guy matters. What everyone is waiting for is the good guy who will finally beat the bad guy and finally put him in his place like he deserves. There is a hopefulness about it, and hope is central to the human experience because without hope of victory there is rarely anything to drive people to make things better in the first place.
Interestingly enough, despite pro-wrestling having a reputation as being a right-wing form of entertainment (despite that not having any mooring in reality - studies have shown most pro-wrestling fans are left leaning - https://www.businessinsider.com/politics-sports-you-like-2013-3 - look at the bottom of the chart), many pro-wrestlers are actually left-wing, including here in the US.

Grovit, anyone?

Coach in the video was involved in a Japanese promotion called "Bushido " in the early 90's. Just about the realist fake wrestling ever, if that makes sense. I remember watching it on cable via a top box on my telly.
Carl Beijer has written a load of stuff about pro-wrestling. I'll look for a link and see if there's any that isn't paywalled.

90's Japanese pro-wrestling was where it was at, really. Hard hitting and not nearly as "fake" as it is now.
Of course, there was a lot of scumminess too.

No argument there.
He showed up for one last show earlier this year, right before the LA fires.
He was booed, hard. And he was booed because most pro-wrestling fans hate the guy for who he is because he reflects a view of the world many wrestling fans do not embrace.

I love that for him.
