ni li lipu pi toki pona. ni la sina ken toki kepeken toki pona tawa jan ante anu sina ken kama sona e toki pona.

Toki Pona (literally "good language") is a philosophical artistic constructed language with a small number of words, ranging from 120 to 140 or a little more, designed for talking about things by explaining them in simple terms. This results in a vague but surprisingly usable (complex topics can be expressed by proficient speakers) vocabulary that heavily relies on context to be understood. It was created by General Musk (or Amatullah Lang or Madame Lang or kulupu Sonjalanko or whatever name she is using) initially in 2001 and since it has evolved through its (relatively) big community, with new words being created and adopted and many works like music, games, books (translations and original writtings), videos and so being made in this language.

I was thinking about making a thread for Toki Pona myself recently. I haven't been able to study it much, but I absolutely adore writing it using sitelen pona. Is there anyway to type in sitelen pona on leftypol?

>I was thinking about making a thread for Toki Pona myself recently.
jasima a! tenpo suno pi mute lili la mi wile pali e lipu ni. mi li awen pali ala e ni la ken la sina li pali e ni. mi pali ala e ni.
What a coincidence! I thought about it one week ago and I was delaying it so maybe if I delayed it further you would have been first…

>but I absolutely adore writing it using sitelen pona.

lon. sitelen pona li musi mute. sitelen suli "pi" "ala" "anu" "kepeken" "tawa" "lon" "sama" "tan" li namako e musi mute.
yeah, sitelen pona is so much fun. specially with elongated pi, ala, anu and prepositions.

>Is there anyway to type in sitelen pona on leftypol?

sitelen pona is not on the unicode (only in UCSUR), so it is not included in fonts, so nobody has a font with sitelen pona, so it would be senseless to try it. and leftypol doesn't provide a sitelen pona font either. so i guess you could post an image and provide the alt text.

alt text: sitelen pona li lon ma Unicote ala. ni la sitelen pona li lon linja sitelen ala. ni la jan ala li ken lukin e sitelen pona kepeken ilo nanpa ona. ni la sitelen pi toki pona pi ma Leftypol li tan ala. ma Leftypol li kekepekn linja pi toki pona ala. taso mi la sina ken pana e sitelen pi sitelen pi toki pona sama lipu ni. sina ken pana e toki sitelen kin. ni la pona tawa jan pi lukin lili anu ala tawa jan pi ilo pi toki taso pi sitelen ala.

Yeah, I was wondering if there were any other people interested in Toki Pona on leftypol. Now I know!

>specially with elongated pi, ala, anu and prepositions.

I didn't know that these words had elongated versions! I've only just started ti imagine modifications to the glyphs for my own purposes. One such thing that I've been doing is changing the positions of the clock hands for the "tenpo" glyph to reflect the time that's being spoken about.

ni li pona. ken la mi ni kin. sina ante e sitelen ante anu seme?
That's sounds interesting, I might adopt it for my personal writings. Do you have more things like this?

>I haven't even finished Wasona yet

sina pini e lukin Wasona li toki pona la sina wile ante e toki pi lipu pi pana pi sona loje? mi alasa ante e toki ona. nimi la mi ante e toki ona kepeken wawa lili. taso mi wile ante e toki pi nimi ante la mi wawa mute (ken la mi ante e lipu ale la mi ante e toki ona kepeken wawa lili).

Seeing how there’s multiple /co/ related threads on the board. I think we should just put all of them into one general just for clarity’s sake.

Discuss anything related to comics and animations from comic recs, leftist animations to comic writers’ attempts to larp as leftists.

Seriously is there a worse anarchist in the UK than Alan Moore?

So what's going on lately in the world of marvel and dc

Trying to grow a secure source of food that can't be stolen, destroyed, embargoed or poisoned. Identified the best option is growing root vegetables in unmaintained public land, like forests.

Buying food from the market leaves you at the mercy of dystopian food monopoly, who have introduced absurd measures like cashless only or ID required. Getting food from charity leaves you with no choice of food, and highly rationed distribution. Growing food on your own land, solves the food choice, supply and cash issue, but incurs both tax cost and risk of eminent domain taking the land away before the crops are harvested. These are all really bad options for food security.

Therefore the best option is growing food on public land, which would solve all these issues including eliminating tax and property seizure. Just have to choose a good, remote location, and hide the crop among other plants nearby. A forest, rural park, road or abandoned property should be a good place.

The best type of crop for this location should be a perennial, drought-proof root vegetable like potato, since there is no watering except rainfall. A perennial will keep growing year after year without maintenance or needing to buy new seeds, and a root crop would be well hidden, capable of fully regrowing even if the plant is cut down. A root crop is also fairly resistant to attempts to poison. Just dig a hole, plant the potato and leave for a few months until harvest.

It should easily be possible to grow enough potatoes to feed yourself and others, indefinitely for free. Worst case scenario is someone cuts the plants down, but it's not really hard to plant more at other locations.

Any suggestions on site locations or alternate crops?

>planting potatoes on someone else's property is better than owning your own plot of land because of eminent domain
you know that eminent domain (usually) means you get compensated for your land, right? also check out the permaculture thread, which is really just a gardening thread >>33648

>>47043
I'd do sunchokes/Jerusalem Artichokes. Similar to potatoes in that they produce tubers but they grow like weeds, spread aggressively, have edible foliage and is native to much of the US. They need full sun so forests might not be the ideal growing location but they get tall so you can plant it in overgrown areas and it will compete for light just fine. They're sunflowers and lesser known so they might fly under people's radar even if spotted

Any tips on game design and/or learning how to code? I feel like I want to make a video game for a while but I’ve realised that it’s basically useless to make one unless it’s to make money, can Marxists/communists make indie games? I just kinda want to put my ideas for characters and world building into something at the end of the day

>>47528
use a preexisting game engine

don't listen to the person above me, game engines are too limiting, you should use a framework instead. preferably one based around c++, or even just c. actually, forget that, you should just program everything on assembly like the guy who made rollercoster tycoon

jokes aside i think godot is the best engine for beginners. unity was/is going through an enshitfication process and unreal is just too much bloat

>>47528
> I just kinda want to put my ideas for characters and world building into something
write short stories



 

Each country of major, minor, or revolutionary repute, has had The Lodge; since Gilgamesh and their invention of the longsword, now seen in the glaive or 9MM pistol.

Religion, is the name of the game; the city hall accountant, in charge of all the hard liquor.

You have a Lodge thumb, on your right hand, ages eight to eleven, when you practice your Lotus and combat sports.

After that, it's a study of your country's laws, through your personal patent being offered.

Jim Madison, the US Constitution; the King Class A Cigarette, at your service.

And if someone bends your wrist, you have the Lodge Challenge; somebody has claimed you are marked falsely, to be struck down in your method of election.

Unless you de-Lodge old Gaetano the Sumerian.

Then you have President Biden, Gaetano, and a trip to Mecca, for a "vaccine".

I recently watched the Dreamworks Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken Movie. It was pretty lame to be honest, and it's entire plot feels like a femcel movie where beautiful girls are evil and "ugly" non-traditionally beautiful girls are hidden beauties in a lazy "be yourself" message. It's a plot that has existed for a long time, but in this particular film it's quite a step over something like Heathers.
They were REALLY banking on discount Ariel to bring in tickets out of spiting Disney and it justifiably lost a lot more money simply because the movie was terrible looking and had a very mediocre story to begin with.
Now I've never liked yurishit because it's almost never good, but unironically I think the movie (probably) wouldn't have flopped (as hard) if it actually was a romance between Ruby and Chelsea instead of whatever nonsense it turned out to be. Sure some people wouldn't like a lesbian movie but if it's done tastefully it'd be at least interesting. Hell it has a typical "enemies to friends/lovers" vibe.
Also, it had a really bad schedule to release in movie theaters all around. The new Spiderverse movie just hit cinemas and was destroying the box office in money and the Mario movie was released to home video after it made a world record for highest grossing animated movie yet. Production wise it is a significant downgrade from Puss in Boots 2. But at least it has something for the fetish-audience; giantess, tentacles, etc.

TL;DR: It's a typical teen drama movie but as one review for it said, there's a simpler, more sincere movie underneath it all that seems to be taunting audiences, like a glowing shape from deep below. If they took some more time to streamline the story it would have been pretty good I think, though the art style was frankly too janky and Illumination-tier rubbery. It's similar to Turning Red tbh, an interesting concept playing with mythologies within a modern human society, but its done horribly. Cheap girl movies like Aquamarine were better executed than this.

Sorry to necropost here, but a few corrections:

  • I think it’s unfair to paint the same brush on the examples used. Like Gumball shows tons of diversity in terms of animations styles (e.g., Gumball being a 2D cat, Tina being a 3D dinosaur, etc…) since it is supposed to be a surrealistic comedy.

  • I think the style being so similar has less to do with “CalArts” and moreso with how the cited authors all worked on Adventure Time or similar productions that pioneered the “toonboom” style (e.g., the creators of Steven Universe and Regular Show having similar styles due to previously having worked in animating Adventure Time).

  • Specifically with regards to She-Ra, the princesses are supposed to be minors at the start of the story, so it’s understandable why they are less curvaceous or adult-morphic compared to the previous iterations of the She Ra series

  • As for the style taking over Tumblr, I can’t say for sure why, but I think it has to do with how easy and time-saving it is to replicate it on a digital format as well as animate it fluidly compared to the more anime style (e.g., Monsuno) which would require more time as well as better understanding of human anatomy that may be a hurdle for less seasoned artists.

I’m not trying to take away from your criticism, just that a few clarifications are needed. Of course, fast forward to 2026, now you have Netflix commissioning anime productions like Castlevania and DMC, Invincible airing on Amazon Prime with great acclaim, so we may see a shift away from it as far as adult animation goes, but that’s just a hunch.

The Center for Disease Control, has no hospitals, precincts, or psychiatric programs attached.

Those are necessarily kept at local station units, inside of data submission.

The purpose is to analyze a health issue, criminal syndrome, or act of paper's trade, and develop a technnology based on the criminal act causing the public health issue; hence, the health issue is stopped, by introduced technology.

On Star Trek, this is called "Bones", Leonard McCoy; you qualified for NASA, the Klingons (American space program), but you then qualified as a medical technician (the John Hopkins Program, PSATs and SATs in middle school invited for three years, outside of a medical degree; ever).

I was confronted with Marvel Comics and a necessary Disney purchase per unethical act of art inside military entertainment.

Marvel Comics, was founded by a Rom FBI agent, Stanley "Stan Lee" Leiberman, his retirement fund as a restaurant sabotaged by a rude joke about Chinese cuisine being sold by a Caucasian; the Iranians having made the insensitive joke.

Stan's job, was to infiltrate the comics industry, and remove the Timely Comics trademark, "Captain America"; a cannibal write-up of the Detective Comics brand, held and designed by the Department of War; framed as the Kennedies, with actual flesh eating cannibalism induced if held away from alcohol; Vlad the Impaler's actual descent, out of the Turkish-Jewish unions per police officers and hostels out of German Transylvania.

Stan Lee had erected a computer hacking screen, for obese women, the heroines in the comics, to perform film and movies for British Intelligence, out of a Haganah Israeli unit.

Thread for talking about webcomics. Share your favs, discuss latest updates.

I recently discovered "basket of guts"
https://basketsofguts.thecomicseries.com/comics/1#content-start
A story about a lich that comes out of his crypt for world domination and find the world evolved and then quickly end on the run from a "modern" state security services.
Really liking it so far. Good mix of genres, starting from a standard fantasy world and instead of freezing it in time add societal and technomagical development. Also I find it pretty funny. Not everything translated yet sadly.

its on leftypol that I discovered Out Of Placers (apparently created by a furry artist, which explain the horniness)
https://www.valsalia.com/
Pretty interesting world building.

Finished since quite a while but at the time followed schlock mercenary. Goofy SF about a mercenary company.

On a more smutty side, I like alfie by incase.

For the non storyline webcomics, existential comics, oglaf and SMBC are my favs.

First time seeing this. Lovely, lovely art and a nice story to boot. Teared up a bit when Alfie and Vera finally reunited, only for Alfie to tear my heart out by being such a bitch. Glad she came around.
