Seems like a pretty anti-communist game, kind of weird to find one in a time when capitalism is going to be in a bit of turmoil. Y'know what I mean? But this is just going off of what my impressions of it were

I think with lanes you really need three for things to get something interesting. The two outer lanes are alike and the middle one is different.

It doesn't matter if its more realistic or not when projectile based zoning doesn't fucking work in 3d. No minion based characters either like Jack in GG. All you get is your shitty limb based fighting.

>>41073
>It doesn't matter if its more realistic or not when projectile based zoning doesn't fucking work in 3d.
That's because that's not how EucledIan space works, why don't you understand?
>No minion based characters either
Pretty sure it's already done in those Naruto Shninja Storm games. The only difficulty with implementing puppet masters is controls and balancing. That's it. That's literally all.

>>41076 (me)
Also, the idea that projectile-based zoning doesn't work in 3D is also not entirely true. It's just different: it's more aggressive and resembles zoning in boxing much better. You don't just stand in place like a fucking flagpost, you have to constantly retreat while dealing damage. You keep your distance more by running away rather than shooting at your opponent. Although the zoning of 2D fighting games can be replicated by a knockback effect on hit.

>>41077
no,there are no 3d fighters where you can actually do a 360 and constantly retreat back,you will just get stuck in the corner after moving to the sides like 5 times max because of how slow it is to move to the sides (or get fucked if you play soulcalibur),they're designed that way on purpose to disallow stalling.
also projectile based zoning does work in 3d,you just need the projectile to be homing (but you can still dodge them/jump them on a timing) in order to force a reaction that can then be punished,just like in 2D.

I've never heard anyone tie Opera to China, it's just a standard issue loan shark company that advertized aggressively through youtube sponsors.
Also yeah here's a breakdown about it:

Is Opera Chinese now?

>>28926
owned 71% by a chinese company,and the chairman also owns 10% and is part of that company.
the biggest problem is still that it's chromium based

>>28927
I mean I really wouldn't care if a chinese company bought the majority of, for example, Meta. Because It would still be Meta. The CCP doesn't oversee every decision a chinese company makes for overseas ventures, just has a spanking paddle ready if a line is crossed.

Also, does anyone have any idea of who could be the original manufacturer or producer? I can't find an official name or even product page for this figure besides the storefronts from the various resellers.

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

I've been trying a new art technique, inspired partially by Loomis, where I construct boxes (and things that can be built out of boxes) by rotating lines along the axis of ellipses and then adding more eclipses. It's kind of hard to put into words, so look at picrel to see what I'm talking about.

What I want to know is whether or not this is a good technique. It's been serving me well thus-far, but if there's any unexpected downsides I'd like to know.

yeah I can see right away that some of the lines don't converge that should. They don't have to converge perfectly, but at least make sure they converge lol. Figure out which edge is closest to you, and the lines connecting to the edge of the same size that is farther away should converge towards the edge that is farther away.

never take a loan if you can help it. you might think the empire is collapsing tomorrow and your debt will be absolved in a jubilee but don't do it. the interest isn't worth it and the creditor harassment is demoralizing. I have never taken a loan after seeing what my parents went through. I am doing better financially than both my parents despite having less education because

1. i never took loans

2. i stuck around at one job for years until I got promoted into a position usually reserved for more experienced people instead of doing the meme of quitting every 2 years and looking for some other entry level gig to get exploited at

Buy a used car at a margin where you plain to get around 50K to 100K miles out of it for an initial cost of 5K to 10K, with reasonable maintenance and repairs you'll spend less than 50 cents a mile. Financing a new car is never worth the cost. Pay cash, don't do payments. Steal as often as possible, rob drug dealers off of Craigslist and sell fake watches to tourists. Create a fake business and open new checking accounts that give you $$$ for direct deposits, Direct deposit from your own company as their employee, rinse and repeat. Go through garbage cans, peoples homes and personal vehicles for valuables. Ask the homeless for money, change the game and reimagine reality.

>>432
>Create a fake business and open new checking accounts that give you $$$ for direct deposits

Along the same lines, work as an independent contractor or self employed if you can and then you can write off your normal daily expenses for taxes by claiming them as a business expense.

All thats needed to fend of the IRS leeches is some bs paperwork proving it was a business expense. And save some extra money from the taxes youre saving on in the future. That way if you ever do get audited, you can buy a fancy lawywer to fend off the leeches. In the end you'll still be net positive depriving defenseporkies of your tax dollars, be a true a patriot and avoid your taxes.

>>431
Also pay the statement balance on the credit card every month to avoid interest. Never pay the minimum only as they rape you with taxes on that. You can pay the full balance if you have the money, but theres no real additional benefit over paying the statement balance.

If you ever get hit with a fee, call the fucks and threaten to cancel the card and theyll usually waive it. Ive had 100s waived in fees and interest before if you just act like you forgot to check.

>>432
Also learn how to do basic maintenance and repairs yourself and you can save a few hundred. Its not hard to change fluids, just get those fucking car ramps and some jack safeties and unscrew the drain plug, change the oil filter and top-off. There are manuals for your car you can find online to help.

Mechanics dont do anything special and half the time they fuck up more than they do a proper job. Just do it yourself.

Or if youre in an area with low/slow car traffic get a scooter. My insurance for the scooter is literally 35$ for the YEAR.

I kinda only like Beethoven and later. I really hate all that arpeggiated clavichord shit. My favorite era is the Romantic era.

Stravinsky is probably my favorite and my favorite song of his is Naissance d'Apollon.

Many people seem to think that Sonic R's songs either make no sense at all or are vague motivational songs that have no connection to the actual race tracks. that's not actually true. Firstly, Super Sonic Racing is an obvious exception to all this. Secondly, while other songs' lyrics do have either a vague connection to the race track or none at all, their names are actually very fitting:
>Resort Island = sunshine
>Radical City = city (duh)
>Regal Ruin = time
>Reactive Factory = work
>Radiant Emerald = diamond
It's most likely that the lyricist was either given these keywords or the actual song titles by SoJ and told to come up with random shit just for the vocals. Or maybe the songs weren't supposed to have vocals at all. Anyhow, the third reason why the songs may actually have more meaning than people say they have is because they seem to have a very noticeable thematic cohesion. Yes, they have nothing to do with Sonic or racing whatsoever (except for Super Sonic Racing). But they do have themes. Some tracks, focus on love (Back in Time, Diamond in the Sky), some focus on motivation and working hard (Can You Feel the Sunshine, Living in the City, Work It Out) and some are weirdly melancholic (again, Living in the City and Back in Time).

I want to bring your attention to the later two categories. To illustrate them I want to bring up the lyrics from the chorus of Living in the City. The first two lines are as follows:
>Living in the city
>You know you have to survive
These lines are weirdly depressing, pointing out the harsh reality of capitalism. But then these two lines are immediately followed by this:
>You've got to keep the dream alive
>Where everything is free
That refers to the American Dream, the idea that after you work hard enough you earn just enough money to afford anything you want. Which does make me wonder whether the song is a reflection of proletarian struggles or just neoliberal propaganda. Or maybe both?

I'd also like to add that the Marxist literature and (non-BreadTube) Marxist YouTube essays have disspelled my impression of semiotics as pretentious cloud castle-building schizo ramblings since the historical materialist analysis is straightforward and relies on what's already in the text and the author's biography instead of relying on vague symbolism. This really makes me worried about our youth who is conditioned by schools to apply idealist semiotics to fiction. The huge influx of pretentious YouTube essayists is already driving me nuts.

>>41010 (me)
Keep in mind that the Marxist and leftist literary criticisms are not synonymous. I keep seeing anons on /anime/ saying shit like "This is a metaphor for the working class/capitalism/racism/whatever" instead of genuinely engaging in a historico-biographical analysis. To me this "leftist" literary criticism (bourgeois literary criticism with a red paint) is just as shallow.

>and your method will tell you that you are obligated to be wrong
the issue is that science has no fixed method, since by the law of power, it cannot contradict its foundational myths. you have a romantic idea of what science must be, and so suffer the errand of imagining a transcendent objectivity breaking apart fallible subjects. your position is from science proper; science as an object. my position is from scientists in particular; the subjectivity of its process. it would certainly be nice if people could freely admit that they are wrong and then move on to better theories of the world, but even as kuhn discusses, the intellect is entirely prideful, and scientific cultures form cliques, which gatekeep and torment. many people have recently discovered this about medicine. doctors are people like you and me, not ascended beings. what then is "science" as you ask: >>24082
science is what scientists do. thats it. but what do scientists do? a lot of them do great things, but most dont, because how could they? after all, they are like you and me, mostly mediocre. thats life.
i think an issue you have also is that you dont seem to grasp the concept of necessary evil. the price of knowledge is suffering, as we see from the original sin. history's gears are oiled by blood. our stomachs are filled with corpses. but this is also life. so science can be your god if you want it to be, but at least accept that it mostly has false prophets, and thus what we hear is most often a false prophecy. when humanity is extinct and science is gone, the world will still be here - so i dont put my faith in men, but prefer eternity and its wisdom.

>>24083
Science has no "foundational myths". That is Germanic faggotry. The point is that science, at a basic level, only produces more questions and preliminary findings. The judgment of facts is not accomplished by "science". It is done by human beings for their purposes. Science eliminates things which are obviously wrong, but it provides no "Absolute Knowledge" that you have to accept, no matter how much these braying retards insist that is the point.

Without science, we never ask the appropriate question to even make judgments of truth regarding the material world. We might invent something that isn't science that asserts something about the world, but this invention doesn't do anything. Science is something we do from the simplest possible starting principles, and it is contingent on the practitioner recognizing metaphysics is a trap unless accounted for.

I'm saying that even if you do everything right in science, even if you carry it out as thoroughly as you reasonably can, you'd still be left with a wrong answer, or worse, you'd be stuck with a framework that produces a wrong answer but explains everything else about the world. I think of how much pseudoscience there is in physics today and how everyone has been obligated to conform to insane declarations like "time dilation" in the public discourse. If that is a narrative for public consumption, it has ensnared far too many academics who are lied to and told to lie to themselves and to the public, and nothing new is discovered. A whole false cosmology was built around the "Big Bang" and upheld by imperious assertions and then the destruction of scientific thought. If you look at the actual theories, the truth is that all of the physicists in the early 20th century were making it up and hoping someone in the future would solve the greater questions, of which there were many. Instead of that, Satanics took over and declared that there is no more science as such. Yet, the honest scientist is either stuck working within this broken paradigm, or must repudiate a large body of knowledge and find himself working with little more than someone 400 years ago possessed. In some ways, he has less, because scientists in the past were not hobbled by this mind-destroying ideology.

Also, there is no "necessary evil" inherent to existence itself. The world, frankly, has little regard for the evil, for the proposition of the evil is for it a strange obsession. There is a lot of evil in the world, much of it far greater than anything humans can summon which is saying a lot, but the evil is cosmically close to irrelevant. Most of the universe is dead, and what exists has no particular malevolence about it. Also, suffering is not evil. Humans should suffer if they look at the nature of their race and their conduct. Humans were given every opportunity by the world to alter their conduct, even if they cannot change the origin and nature of their race. Humans managed to change their conduct enough so that we can actually tolerate existence, because we had to, even if that conduct falls far short of any redemption. They didn't need to insinuate a "balancing act" with the evil of the eugenic creed. The eugenists insisted on their particular morality, just as aristocracies and nobilities always have their special morality to justify their deliberate shitty behavior.

you are imagining that science has no history and has no subject. that is what is bothersome in this conversation.
>the material world
what is matter?
>Science is something we do from the simplest possible starting principles
no it isnt, since science denies its own subjectivity. people say singular findings can be biased, but if thats the case, then peer review surely just adds more biases into the mix. this is confirmed by how even in peer review, opinions still vary. this is not knowledge, this is opinion counted as fact. this realm of temporary facts is exactly as goebbels describes the art of propaganda, but at least he understood his own position as a mouthpiece of state power. this was his critical edge, as a german.
>the honest scientist
"honest scientists" are called problematic and then silenced, or their ideas are stolen like with tesla. at the same time however, tesla is an idiot for not patenting his own works. edison is a truer scientist since he understands the plutocracy of its craft. most technological innovation comes from war in the same way; the military-industrial complex brought us personal computers, the internet and mobile phones.
>Also, there is no "necessary evil" inherent to existence itself.
existence is pure evil; that is the nature of infinity. the good arives as a negation of this primary negation. this is also why evil is often considered "weakness" or the path of least resistance. giving in is easier than giving up. all action then tends towards destruction, like all life moves to death. yet, life feeds on death, and this is its temporary redemption. goodness is what resists unconditional evil, but evil always wins. you cannot deny this state of things, since it is a wisdom common to all men. this "bad infinity" of reality is the bottomless pit of hell.

Honestly? It's one of the better cape movies to have come out. The script isn't without its flaws (The third act is kind of rushed and comes out of nowhere) but for what it is, it's pretty well-made. I enjoyed it a lot more than most capeshit

I just realized Batman is a terrorist. More specifically in Dark Knight. He goes to a totally different country and abducts a citizen. No due process, Habeas corpus none of that. Not to mention breaking multiple international laws. Whats more is the legal system of Gotham just runs with it. I get thats he's a vigilante, but that was basically just international terrorism.

What's the deal? I only know the Simpsons episode.

Watched The Gorge. Very stupid movie. I enjoyed the opening act, even though it's very cliche. I like the aesthetic I guess. It felt like an MGS5 cutscene kinda. Once Miles Teller and Anya Taylor Joy meet, they engage in some very embarassing cross gorge interactions. Then the movie just devolves into pure actio slop which is OK enough. The movie is too long though. 5/10

What's up with Mlies Teller. I feel like after Whiplash he was set up to be a serious artsy fartsy dramatic actor but lately he just stars in slop.

I watched Kiyoshi Kurosawa's new movie: Cloud. It's about an unscrupulous online reseller. It was alright. Has some creepy moments and a surreal air which is a trademark of this director's films. Watching some analysis of it on youtube I had to roll my eyes at people saying that the movie is about capitalism, which I guess it sort of is, but nonetheless it came off as blunt and graceless to just say it like that.

Anyway, spoiler warning. Yoshii, the main character, makes a living buying cheap shit by bulk online and then reselling that shit at a markup. He doesn't care if what he's reselling is medical equipment that people need or counterfeit goods. As a consequence of his obsession (similar to that of a gambling addict) with his "job" he alienates and/or antagonizes many people. As his business grows he moves out of his tiny apartment into a bigger house out in the country with his girlfriend, Akiko. He also hires an assistant named Sano. A local early 20s kid who failed to make it in Tokyo and had return to his home town.

The assistant is the weirdest most surreal character in the movie. He instantly becomes very interested in Yoshii's job and wants to learn all about it. He also pledges a very strange but sincere loyalty to Yoshii, claiming that he's very grateful to him for giving him a job. When Yoshii's new house gets vandalized and the police seem unwilling to help, Sano takes it upon himself to investigate who did it and catch them, which he does. Seemingly beating the delinquent up and instilling a deep fear in him.

Eventually several people whom Yoshii has wronged team up to get revenge on him. They kidnap him and plan to livestream his torture and eventual death. Sano sets out to rescue Yoshii and goes about it ruthelessly. Coldly killing several of the kidnappers until he reaches Yoshii. Onces he frees Yoshii he hands him a gun and they set out to escape from the rest of the kidnappers. Along the way Yoshii himself kills several people. At first hesitantly but with increasing ease. In the end Akiko betrays him threatening him with a gun to give her all his money. In the scuffle Sano murders Akiko and Yoshii is heartbroke about it. Yoshii and Sano escape the scene. While driving away, in the most surreal scene of the movie, Sano tells Yoshii to only focus on making money and that he'll handle the rest. Yoshii asks "Where'll that get me?", Sano responds "It'll get you anything you want. Even things that can end the woPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It’s the 42nd millennium in the newest edition, the tyrannic wars have mostly ended, the wars for Armageddon still loom on with the orks weakening each day, the necrons, tau, and eldar are showing signs of instability, and the imperium is looking towards entering another “age of apostasy” situation even with the galaxy being torn in half. If the age of strife never happened, the imperium in its current state would be as strong if not stronger than the ICOG from xeelee. But how strong is the imperium right now?

They’re pretty fucking OP that’s for sure.

Unlike the low effort bait spewed out on community threads, the imperium has only been expanding rapidly since the Horus heresy. The guard and the astartes got reorganized into legions and chapters to maintain cohesion and improve their stability. The sisters of battle exists as a check to keep the administratum and inquisition from irresponsible decision making and as a stand-alone fighting force. Recovered STCs have brought the return of primaris and centurion space marine power armour. Guilliman, Vulkan, and rogal dorn are back. Several space marines were discovered during exploration trips or were added to the chapters. Some improvements (and I mean some) to imperial leadership have been seen to make the empire less comically fascist and incompetent under guilliman. Finally, the sheer number of humans in the galaxy has rapidly grown thanks to fertility rates and the introduction of vitae wombs on planets like Vraks—seriously, those planets can produce fifty million soldiers a year; imagine how many people in general they pump out. To top of everything else, all imperial worlds have been fortifying for ages now while the imperium has been passively expanding its reach into new worlds since the great crusade started. Just look at the story of tertium as an example of how fucking huge the empire really is.
Unless GW can pull an extremely sound excuse to give some random heretic or alien uniquely strong plot armour, this franchise isn’t going to end the way Fantasy did but with the galaxy cleansed of any nonhuman and robotic life in a few centuries to millennia. The only things going on so far are the returns of angron, Magnus, and mortarion.
Thoughts? Personally, I want to see how this board game ends. Would be nice to finally justify not painting anymore models.

While I’m here, I might aswell spread some guardsman propaganda

The average imperial guard officer is what one could call today the “ideal adult.” Unlike you and I, imperial officers do not suffer from any lifestyle issues. They don’t have issues with obesity, weight, blood pressure, sensory deficits, mobility, addiction, or chronic disease. Officers have the mobility of an elementary school gymnastic student well into old age and can climb, vault, swing around, and lift many heavy objects.

Aside from having no real hindrances to their health, the imperial officers are exceptionally fit and well trained too. Unlike what GW likes to fetishize, the guard is full of genuinely really strong people. These guys are partially resistance to extreme pain, they can independently tend to their own wounds, they can march for hundreds to thousands of kilometres in a single sitting, they have an entire professionals worth of military experience and knowledge in their first recruitment years, and they’ve got some of the best planning and teamwork skills you could get out of a military. The astra militarum is like the mobile infantry if it was competent. That’s just the start really.

These guys also come with fully automatic armour penetrating laser rifles with attachments and optics provided as a standard weapon—a weapon known for having functionally unlimited ammo mind you; full body protective armour with a protective helmet is available in abundance in many ranks; they got heat sensing visors and optics capable of tracking down a target several to several dozen kilometres away; dropship troops that can stand in for the fucking space marines when they aren’t available; they come with an unholy amount of artillery and missile systems; they’ve got manpower number in the quadrillions of soldiers; and to top it off, they’ve got some of the most heavily advanced augmentations assigned to their best soldiers to operate at peak performance.

The guard is so good that GW had to nerf these guys a couple of editions ago just to keep these guys from beating every other faction. The guard is simply that powerful.

>>40933
Narratively that would be a good ending, but wouldn’t that sort of retroactively justify all the fanaticism, brutality, and other horrors the Imperium did before?

>>41011
Why? The only way for fascist imperium shitbaggery to be justified is if it survives a post alien future. Otherwise, the imperium becoming post human and communist and surviving might aswell exist as a massive fuck you to all the aliens and planetary governors that thought humanity genuinely couldn’t have been better.

>>41012
I don't think it's that it couldn't have been better, it's that this sort of fanatical hyper-militarism was necessary to get humanity through an extremely dangerous time when they could have been annihilated if they weren't so ruthless. It's a bit like the USSR, where all the harshness and extreme measures of the Stalin years were effectively justified by the Nazi invasion and its defeat, since they were implemented in preparation for such a conflict.

>>41023
Not really. The imperium’s militarism and fanaticism actually does more damage to its survival than anything else.

I’m pretty sure that if the morons at Terra could be bothered to take advantage of a single forge world’s lost knowledge or even just give a few hive cities a good clean up (in the literal sense to get rid of rubble, debris and dirt) the quality of living and longevity of the empire would last a good century from something so petty.

>bad quality of education
>more debt
>can get a job without one anyways
>mainly used by internationals to game visas
>most jobs dont require it

But, I cant help but feel a lot of this is cope from people that dont have one. It has to help get more interviews easier and the wages are probably higher.

I got an admit into UCLA and feel like I should take it. My undergrad was in a shittier state school and the rep would help me out. But its going to be 40grand and dont know if Im just about to get scammed

Well, depends on the country.

Master's program in Germany? Free and quasi-obligatory for most degrees, especially STEM, due to be expected by employers. Master's program in the US? According to most labor statistics utterly useless except for people trying to immigrate under an immigration visa.

>>351
Only good reason I can think of to have a Master's is if there is a specific job you want to do that requires you to be educated to Master's level. Otherwise, most people I know did it because they were interested in the subject or they just didn't know what the fuck to do after they left uni so they decided to stay on another year or two.

It depends.
Some degrees are absolutely useless unless you at least have a masters. Honestly, just do trades if you don't care about doing anything in particular. I don't really hate the "PMC", but there is a lot of bullshit that comes with the territory. If you just want money without spending years in academia find and don't mind working with your hands that's the route I would go. Even better if you can become a millwright.

I have yet to find a professional Master's degree that is actually useful. MBA? Trash. MPH? Double trash.
The only reason to get a master's is if you want to work towards a PhD and live in academia. The only graduate degrees worth a damn otherwise are medicine, law, dentistry and perhaps engineering.

I think you're probably on the right track with shotgun shells since even on the real ones, the brass is a small part of the shell. Of course you can try electronic ignition as well like the Shinzo Abe shooter. Doesn't look like he made it to be reloaded in the action, so that would work for sure. You can make a black powder pistol, blunderbuss whatever, easily. The reloading and not jamming is the hard part. A breach loaded shotgun would probably be the best for clearing failed cartridges and etc.

Here's some entirely plastic shotgun shells that are electrically ignited with no primer.

Always remember to test these things out extensively when they're not attached to your hand lol. Don't want a big ass explosion in the palm of your hand.

Seeking good contract language protecting political activity and speech to reduce the risk of getting fired over being a communist or anti-zionist. My workplace is majority anti-zionist Jewish people with a plurality of reds. A handful of zionist and rightoid pricks really hate that fact and keep trying to wield management against us and call in outside zionist orgs for backup because our existence fucks with their messaging that all Jewish people support Israel.
We're in the US and I expect the attempts at purging leftists to get worse in the future. Any good examples of protections we could copy? Also, general suggestions on things to definitely fight to have in our contract are welcome.

To make it more clear: we're unionized and almost done forming the bargaining committee and starting negotiations. There's strong buy-in from members for political protections because even the resist lib types are scared of getting retaliated against these days.

Found out my Poli Sci professor has a lot of books on Marx and his relation to gender and such. Has anybody read "Marx on Gender and the Family" by Heather Brown? I couldn't get a PDF rip online and I want to know if she's a lefty or not.

>I want to know if she's a lefty or not.
you are mentally retarded. you can perfectly understand marx and even write books analyzing his ideas without being a leftist. you don't need to agree to understand why do I have to explain stuff to you as if you were 10?
the point she makes is that marx didn't pay that much attention to it in his writings, but the few times he did he had a more nuanced and dynamic approach than the determinism of engels. that marx mentioned in a few essays and articles for newspapers the oppression of women, specially of working class but to some extent even of those in the dominant bourgeois class. and that he advocated for an active change of women's place in society and the replacement of the bourgeois family, even if still under capitalism, instead of passively waiting for technology and revolution to do everything

honestly I don't know why this good woman is trying to squeeze feminism out of a few passages when she understands and describes at length that marx was much more focused on the economic critique of capitalism and working class political activism. I mean, it was an interesting read but otherwise useless, I guess it could work as a base to develop a feminist line from a marxist perspective

>you are mentally retarded.
who shat in your coco roos?

>I don't know why this good woman is trying to squeeze feminism out of a few passages
She's offering a class on family and gender through a socio-political lense, and I wanted to know if I was going to get an unessecary rehash of neoliberal feminism or an actual interesting perspective on gender. Thank you for the summary, apologies for using the wrong words to describe my intent. Will be taking her course now that I know I can actually learn something.

Want a gun but its impossible to get a gun license in your country? Buy a repeating crossbow. These things will nail the target in a wall behind them.

<Tactical Repeating Crossbow – Maybe this is the biggest innovation in the crossbow market ever – this weapon changes everything.

<The 7.5 inch arrows (or bolts) have screwed-on field points and reach a proud 30 joules at 130 pounds tensile weight. The arrow speed is approximately 78 m/s (256 fps), which makes the Adder accurate even at distances up to 50 meters (55 yards). In our tests, the standard field tips penetrated through several layers of clothing and a thick layer of ballistic gel, then perforated a coconut poured into the gel block. By using the special High-Penetration Bodkin tips, which have razor-sharp edges, this penetration power can be further increased.

<The removable tactical rear stock is adjustable. The weapon can also be used without the rear stock, which makes it even more compact if required. The all-metal red dot visor supplied with the weapon can be adjusted vertically and horizontally.

>Illegally carrying a crossbow is a public security violation and will incur legal responsibility, especially when entering public places or public transportation. According to Article 32 of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China," those who illegally carry firearms, ammunition, or crossbows, daggers, and other controlled devices specified by the state shall be detained for no more than 5 days and may be fined up to 500 yuan; if the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be given a warning or fined no more than 200 yuan. Those who illegally carry firearms, ammunition, or crossbows, daggers, and other controlled devices specified by the state into public places or public transportation shall be detained for no less than 5 days and no more than 10 days and may be fined up to 500 yuan.

>The Beijing police remind: According to relevant laws, crossbows have strong lethality and are classified as controlled devices specified by the state. Unauthorized production, sale, and use are prohibited. Citizens are advised not to illegally purchase, use, or carry crossbows out of curiosity or other reasons. If you have crossbows or other controlled devices at home, please voluntarily turn them in to the nearest public security organ. Those who do not voluntarily surrender illegal items and are caught by the public security organs will be punished according to the law.

>非法携带弩是一种治安违法行为，将承担法律责任，特别是进入公共场所或公共交通工具时，处罚将更为严厉。《中华人民共和国治安管理处罚法》第32条规定，非法携带枪支、弹药或者弩、匕首等国家规定的管制器具的，处5日以下拘留，可以并处500元以下罚款；情节较轻的，处警告或者200元以下罚款。非法携带枪支、弹药或者弩、匕首等国家规定的管制器具进入公共场所或者公共交通工具的，处5日以上10日以下拘留，可以并处500元以下罚款。

>北京警方提醒：根据相关法律规定，弩杀伤力强，属于国家规定的管制器具，不允许私自生产、销售和使用，请广大市民不要出于好奇等原因非法购买、使用、携带弩。如您家中存有弩等管制器具，请主动就近上交公安机关。不主动交出非法物品、被公安机关查获的，将依法惩处。
