I was going to say "what a coincidence, I'm also reading it" but then I realized your post is four months old, so not that much of a coincidence.
Anyway, I'm not that deep into it yet but I'm actually enjoying it immensely. But I tend to like plotless books. I actually find it refreshing how much of the book is just dedicated to drawing out the protagonist's deranged aestheticism. But I can also see why that would put people to sleep.

I thought getting into the classics was just a matter of picking up the books as cheap as possible and reading them at your leisure but apparently you also have to be extra careful that you don't get a shitty translation or low quality edition. Like I found out that the copies of The Count of Monte Cristo and Crime and Punishment I read at my school library were made by some sketchy Mexican publisher that although it sells literature classics at very low prices it also cuts several pages of both books, had several typos and outright censored lots of shit because the translation they got was made during Franco era Spain.
It fucking sucks how people have to pay more to get the REAL book from a proper publisher like if it was some special edition of a video game, completely anti-art.

What do trans rights mean if a trans woman can't get a job or a place to rent? It seems to me that literally no movement cares about such fundamentals. Every trans woman has the right to an honest job, housing and education. Queer liberalism has jackshit to do with getting trans women that.

Idk why you are even bringing this up, totally irrelevant to my original point, and even in the article you posted it says "there was no law against homosexuality", so this is just vibes shit. Why do you think this is a gotcha anyway, it's not like I am saying the GPCR was a great time for gay people specifically, but it was for most people who were gay who were politically enfranchised and engaged in a massive struggle. Are you capable of understanding nuance, or will you continue to treat history like a gotcha machine?

>Okay, but what about loosh farm?
That's the purpose of life, and suffering which is non-consensual and chaotic loosh is the cheapest but not the only form of loosh to produce. Humans surrender to vices and that means you have to defeat and keep all 7 sins at bay to prevent suffering from being hand waved away as necessary to the economy because of popular convenience. If some aristocrats get blackmailed, how do you suppose you would save them from that if you're a rabid Marxist? It would save you both the trouble of suffering.

>If the elite just wanted money and power, they would simply turn the entire world into a gulag.

That's not cheap at all.

>Instead, we have relative freedom, much of which is used to provoke negative emotions and pit people against each other.

The desire to create non-consensual loosh in each other, right? You deserve it because suffering doesn't offend you in itself. It's useful to you to shame and control others so it has economic value.

>>1632
>That's the purpose of life
Marx/Engels said that all history is the exploitation of one class by another, but surely this must end someday and communism must come?
>and suffering which is non-consensual and chaotic loosh is the cheapest but not the only form of loosh to produce.
Perhaps, especially considering the origins of the term, but I'm simply using loosh as a translation of the Russian word гаввах, meaning that as I see it, the elite only cares about the energy of suffering, and they don't really want to make people happy. Moreover, they're currently testing the waters to see how much they can torture humanity before it starts dying.
>Humans surrender to vices and that means you have to defeat and keep all 7 sins at bay to prevent suffering from being hand waved away as necessary to the economy because of popular convenience.
I don’t get it, are you saying that people are to blame for their suffering because they don’t perform bnei noach?
>If some aristocrats get blackmailed, how do you suppose you would save them from that if you're a rabid Marxist? It would save you both the trouble of suffering.
Why should I save them? Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
>That's not cheap at all.
North Korea, Stalin's USSR, Hitler's Germany. All of these have been tried and succeeded, but even North Korea, the last bastion of totalitarianism, is beginning to implement democratic reforms and grant its citizens increasing freedoms.
>The desire to create non-consensual loosh in each other, right?

I've been reading the hardback release this year and watching the show as released as well, so I don't know the ending, but so far it's been… fine? Nice designs and color. Fine voice acting. I think the main problem I've had is that it doesn't have much actual animation? Like it's just shot for shot the comic and someone reading it while the frames are in color. It feels stiff. Maybe I've been spoiled by watching other modern anime slop recently.

When I said ending I meant the resolution to the story. When I watched the series I watched the credits once and I now skip it. I have no real opinion on it because it isn’t substantive to the adaption. Is it lame? Is it shit? Who fucking cares about the credits roll when the series is so stiff.

>>26245
>how the capitalist mode of production purposefully perpetuates climate change.
The capitalist mode of production is not an entity and it does not possess a will or purpose. Its function is to create surplus value. Nothing more. Capitalists (functionaries of Capital) might use the Capital they control to contribute to the increase of causes of climate change, but this is not because climate change is their goal. The valuation of Capital is paramount. All other considerations (ecological sustainability, the welfare of Human Capital, etc.) are hindrances.

Hello I want to learn to shoot. I have shot bb guns and pellet guns growing up. Although I never shot a gun. Is starting with a .22lr a wise idea? I was thinking:
  • Browning Buck Mark Micro
  • 1911 22 Compact

idk if there are any better options.

can't go wrong with a 10/22. I have the takedown version, with a suppressor. very nice for plinking. you can even make them tacticool like picrel. but .22LR is incredibly ass at distances beyond 50 meters or so
depending on what you actually want to do you might want to get an AR-15 or even an AR-10. you could also look into hunting. where I live hunters are big on conservation, and they hate the forest companies, so that's an interesting political inroad

>They're really expensive
I'm sure there are budget models. I assume that what you're paying with something like that is the adaptation of the ak gas system to the smaller round with lower pressures
something like the sub2000 is ~400$ according to the internet, and you make the money back the first time you buy ammo

the only good thing that has come out of prepper culture is "survival rifles" which are cheap, bolt-action and break-action pistol-caliber rifles, sometimes with internal tube magazines. so maybe look up something like that

>>6458
>Optics are cool for stationary shooting but I feel like in most real engagements in a war situation you're likely not even going to bother shouldering a rifle to aim down the sights but instead just mag dump whatever you have from a raised but not aimed position.
War situations mean being in a squad with a machine gunner and a DM. If you're on your own, being your own DM is definitely the best bet. No running and gunning and shooting at fuck all is not a good strategy by yourself or even with a small group.

I'm 31. I never went to college because I considered it a waste of time. The state of education in the USA is abhorrent and I never for a moment considered there would be something to gain by wasting time in ideological brainwashing factories masquerading as educational institutions. I'm employed in the trades and I've always studied philosophy in my spare time, but I'm seriously considering university now because I believe (perhaps mistakenly) that my abilities and knowledge have reached a point of enough breadth and depth to make a career as a philosopher, and to get some papers and books published. Has anyone here pursued that path, and if so, what were your experiences?

I studied sciences and I don't think it was a waste of time at all. I have attended a few political sciences lectures at university since a friend was the professor and I was happy to see that he taught the students to think critically. All people deserve access to higher education with it being liberating. I would definitely give it a go. That said, I don't know what the situation in the US is like. Universities are definitely not "ideological brainwashing factories". Publish or perish is also a thing, but it is more related to research.

Unfortunately nowadays academic education is just publishing AI slop papers in bulk. Not worth it unless you need a job that requires the certifications, or if you're in it entirely for the education.

good god dude

there's a clear thread between matrix resurrections and digger, in that, they're both deeply cynical movies that turn the camera towards the process of movie making itself, examine it, and find nothing but contempt towards it. i wonder if WB execs really hate themselves this much, i understand getting fooled once into making a brechtian piece on cash grabs pretending to be a belated sequel to matrix, but getting fooled twice into making the same movie? it's so fitting that this is the swansong for WB, there's a merger going through with paramount, just as the ellisons are running around like headless chickens to fill their coffers, which may mean an end to WB as it has existed for decades; and Digger, their swan song.

Can anyone make a tldr of this book like >>14131 I'm trying to explain to my friend in simple terms what imperialism is, but I'm shit at explanations.

becoming good at explanations goes like this:
read a chapter
write its point out in your own words
take your explanation and cut it down to no more than three or four points.
try make any point explainable in a couple sentences.

if you cant explain the subject you either:
havent understood the subject deep enough
or
havent attempted to prepare an explanation prior to speaking

or both!

You know Lenin already did something like this in many of his texts, where he would write a condensed version in some part of the book. His words on Imperialism:
>If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism. Such a definition would include what is most important, for, on the one hand, finance capital is the bank capital of a few very big monopolist banks, merged with the capital of the monopolist associations of industrialists; and, on the other hand, the division of the world is the transition from a colonial policy which has extended without hindrance to territories unseized by any capitalist power, to a colonial policy of monopolist possession of the territory of the world, which has been completely divided up
>We must give a definition of imperialism that will include the following five of its basic features: (1) the concentration of production and capital has developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies which play a decisive role in economic life; (2) the merging of bank capital with industrial capital, and the creation, on the basis of this “finance capital”, of a financial oligarchy; (3) the export of capital as distinguished from the export of commodities acquires exceptional importance; (4) the formation of international monopolist capitalist associations which share the world among themselves, and (5) the territorial division of the whole world among the biggest capitalist powers is completed. Imperialism is capitalism at that stage of development at which the dominance of monopolies and finance capital is established; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun, in which the division of all territories of the globe among the biggest capitalist powers has been completed.

There is a video which condenses some of the main points of the book:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kF1dENzDg8

It obviously doesn't include lots of information presented in the book, but it does include some useful information such as an introduction to monopolies and the definition of finance capital. One thing I found particularly interesting is that the descriptions used by capitalist economist Hobson proved Lenin's points.

How would you go about learning about solar? Do you know of any useful material to learn about it? I'd love to learn more about the different technologies involved and about the installation of solar panels and power generation. Maybe this knowledge can be put into practice to help one's local community. I'm sure there's lots of solid state physics and electronics involved, but any advice would be more than welcome!

For all those interested this is the big thread for all your Hearts of Iron 4 and modding related content, mostly modding because let's be real nobody plays vanilla anymore. Specifically alternate history. From Kaiserreich to The Fire Rises, mods from this shoddy game set in alternate timelines seem to really do numbers. And create serial killers.

So most recently the latest update from vanilla broke every mod's nation selection screen. You simply hate to see it

Lifting is superior to calisthenics and cardio yes, there's a reason people lift.

How do I go from skinny-fat to fit-but-thin? I don't wanna get swole

>>46852
>you should spread put your meals over the course of day to maximalise musle growth?
That's a thing for pro body builders. Past a certain point of swoleness your muscles will start to break down if you go for a few hours without food. This isn't even really an issue if you are still mega swole but not extremely low body fat. For anybody but pro BB this isn't really that useful for retaining/building mass though *technically* I think spreading meals out more is generally good for you (but so is intermittent fasting). For the average person trying to maximize gains you probably get better results by eating (more) around the time you train.

>>46999
Lifting is better for muscle growth than calisthenics because you can train with higher weight, but calisthenics are fine if your goal is to do cardio/endurance strength. As for pulling vs pushing and losing weight you probably notice a tighter chest because of less body fat. Pulling won't make your pecs bigger, but you will have more of your chest shaped by pecs if you lose body fat there.

>>47000
>Lifting is superior to calisthenics and cardio yes
None is superior to the others in general, they all do different things and ideally people would combine them all. Lifting weight maximizes your ability to gain muscle and raw strength. Calisthenics is good for mobility, stability, and some light cardio and supporting strength. Cardio is cardio - it's good for your cardiovascular system and is often neglected because the results aren't visible.

>>47302
Nobody ever accidentally put on "too much" muscle mass. Just do some kind of training regularly, whatever you find appealing enough to do consistently. The only things you need to avoid are caloric surplus and progressive overload. Weight loss is more a diet thing than a training one.

Hey swoletariats, I'm trying to lose weight again after like 3 years of gaining shitton of weight. Back then I used to rely a whole lot on soylent to curb cravings between meals, 300 cal gave me roughly 3 or 4 hours of being hungerfree, which was a good tradeoff, but apparently the soy memes and seed oil obsession killed that brand dead, so I'm wondering if you know of a good meal replacement to make up for it? I need something that is 300cal or less per portion, dairy-ish flavor profile to curve sweet tooth, and something that is not just a protein drink because they make me feel icky if i have too many of them. not oatmeal because i already eat too much and more of it will give me the runs, and something that is dairy free, but bonus points if it's able to thicken like soylent. should i just bite the bullet and get slimfast

>When vibecoders meet sane package management standards
As a daily Gentoo user, this kind of situation can only get worse with time
Nearly all rust projects already ship thousand of (sometimes in-tree) pinned dependencies, all lto'd into a big static blob for "reasons"
Even Debian has mostly given up, package management is a dying art

Rust has been impossible to avoid for a while now.
Mesa pulls it as a dependency.
So does every modern browser except like cog.
(If even that counts as a "modern browser")
I completely gave up avoiding it on my main machine.

For my personal projects I never saw the utility of uv.
Guess it fits the category of "rewrite it in Rust." projects.
But there was a time when I would have used it anyway.

Also might have learned my lesson from the recent Deno acquisition.
e.g. wouldn't write with MongoDB today.
Even though I'd like a JSON "ODM" with no translation layer.
Ideally written in javascript…

Restarted Gothic Remake playthrough. Didnt even try to fight anything this time, just running past enemies on my way to Old Camp. It got way too dark before I reached it, and didnt want to risk bumping into something that could one-shot me, so I had to go AFK at a small hunting camp with two hunters in it, waiting until dawn so I could see properly. At the gate I couldnt help myself but to pick the snarky dialogue option with a guard, who attacked me. I tried running away, but got stuck on world geometry or something, character stopped running, and got knocked out and robbed. Lost all of my starting capital and weapons. Later broke my lockpick trying to understand how lockpicking system works. Met an NPC named Mud, who is supposed to be an annoying guy who keeps hanging around you, accidently got him murdered by scavengers when I ventured to explore surrounding wildness.
So my plan right now is to steal what I can, so that I save enough for learning lockpicking skill and some lockpicks, and then rob everyone blind. Might have to first go to Swamp Camp, not sure if there is enough for me to steal in Old Camp right now.

And I am done with my Gothic playthrough. Got murdered by NPC. I dont know why, they should beat you up and loot your stuff, but this random digger just decided to murder me.

What are some genuinely good phones that do not shit the bed after 3 years, and without software updates shitting it's functionality?

Insane value for money. Had the same 200 american dollar (that's 260 in today's money) xiaomi for 7 years now. Adware I turned off immediately and haven't had trouble with since. For apps like gallery I just installed a replacement if they were bad, design-wise. Spyware is like, same level as samsung or other cheap shit. Would you rather have american or chinese backdoor?

>>34135
Bullshit or cope, I had a xiaomi and it had so much shit that you needed to turn off in separate places it was insane, and to this day I never figured out how to disable the xiaomj "safe installer" crap. I got lucky on that phone because it was vulnerable to mtkexploit which rescued it from the trash bin

>>34152
I just hit back out of muscle memory when the stupid safe installer appears. Yeah I had to turn off "features" in separate places too but it took me about a day of getting used to the thing. Yet it is still my daily phone after all these years. Battery still lasts a good day use, too.

everyone's giving you bad advice. the best phone is one you can play the best emulated gaming experience on, get 2 days battery out of, has OLED, and is cheap, under $250.

The entire phone market is an oligopoly keeping certain features from budget and even mid range phones.

Namely, all non flagship phones are artificially limited to 4k30 fps recording, it used to be because of the image signal processor on the cpu, but then it became too expensive to manufacture multiple of those for different cpus, now it's just that the option doesn't pop up in the camera app.

Cameras on phones haven't really gotten better since 2020, the limiting factor isn't megapixels but rather the focal length and tiny sensor size. Every new camera feature since then has been a marketing gimmick.
Manufacturers trying to get more from the tiny sensor ironically makes the picture worse year over year due to shitty overprocessing.


To keep phones from getting cheap all brands collectively agreed to limit midrange phones from having zoom cameras. I bought a redmi note 10 pro 5 years ago and it had a main 108mp camera, a macro camera and an ultrawide. 5 years on the same line offers the same fucking features for 2x the price.

The only thing that keeps advancing are phone cpus but the gap between budget and the one flagship cpu (snapdragon 8 gen 5) keeps increasing year over year due to normal everyday tasks not becoming more demanding.

Also I really like sillicon carbon batteries.

Que uno debe estar muy jodido como gobernador para que incluso haya liberaloides y panazis uniéndose a las protestas loool.

De ahí en fuera es obvio que es un intento de doctrina de shock estilo dictadura chilena pinochetista pero mal hecha, empeorar la calidad de los servicios públicos intencionalmente para causar pánico y justificar una privatización de los bienes comunes y servicios públicos. Siendo como son de desclasados en GDL lo más probable es que el gobierno tenga éxito privatizando el agua con la excusa de "solucionar" el problema que ellos mismos causaron adrede.

>O de lo de la ola de manifestaciones de varios grupos como la CNTE y los trabajadores del IMSS?


Basadísimos los profes de la CNTE. Me da mucha gracia cómo los panazis aleluyos estaban intentado colgarse de la falta de medicinas como botín para sus causas partidistas pero en cuanto la CNTE se unió a la causa de los trabajadores del IMSS se les reventaron las hemorroides a los panistas lol.

Lo chistoso es que la partidocracia se pinta de muchos colores, pero si en algo coinciden perfectamente tanto Morena como PAN y el PAN naranja es en que odian la organización de los trabajadores, y por ende todos odian a la CNTE.

De ahí en fuera también está chido que los del IMSS se están organizando tanto contra el gobierno como contra el sindicato charro que tienen. Common sindicalista L.

Híjole, a veces creo que el pánico de evangélicos vs católicos es puro psyop. Te ponen a los católicos como los racionales buenos de izquierda y los evangélicos como los malos de malolandia pagados por la CIA, y en parte es cierto o sea los gringos sí están detrás de los predicadores fanáticos pentecostales sionistas con acento de gusano, pero la mayoría de católicos son igual de desclasados, reaccionarios y pendejos al chile jaj. Solo mira al títere de Trump Verástegui.

Al final a nivel individual la religión de alguien no te garantiza que sea buena o mala persona, y el marxismo no debe distraerse con esa clase de mamadas la verdad, tiene cosas más importantes que hacer contra la miseria en el mundo material real.

This thread seems to have uncovered nothing substantial to me.
The fact that you need an entity to harden etc. isn't full-proof.
This is just about the only argument that I can think of.
