EDIÇÃO PARQUE DO SOLSTÍCIO
"Trata-se de um monumento lítico no Norte do país que possui 127 monólitos que foram erguidos em um raio de 30 metros. As pedras de mais de 4 metros foram erguidas e talhadas há mais de 2000 anos e sua disposição é feita para, no solstício de inverno do hemisfério norte, as pedras apontarem para os principais astros do céu amazônico e o sol, ao meio dia, fique na posição exata do centro da obra."

"Como havia uma variação de povos na época, o Iepa informou que não é possível afirmar qual o povo indígena que construiu o local, mas indícios como pinturas nas peças de cerâmica, apontam similaridades com as do povo Arawak, que tem como descendentes os indígenas da etnia Palikur, habitantes da atual fronteira do Amapá e a Guiana Francesa."

Naruto is just as bad if not worse, they somehow contradict their own message every god damn time, and have a little privileged retarded kid as the main character who was born with le epic god powers, and never works a day in his life to achieve anything, its all just handed to him

Who's dick did you suck to get your job. I could probably just have laid bricks and shit for 600AUD a day or so. I'd be in better shape and not a fat permanently online retard.

You'd still be a retard but a less fat one.

My advice is, get ANY job before the gap in your resume fucks you over. Experience is way more important than anything else.

Get some money, then instantly you'll get some motivation and some semblance of a normal life going. Don't worry too much about the future, or else you'll be stuck forever.

I don't think it's healthy to be bara in the long run, since a strongfat physique could become regular fat really quick with age or neglect of your exercise routine. Personally I'm just shooting for a middle ground where I'm noticeably muscular, beefier than a cute dude with abs, but not quite bara. Idk if that has a name, maybe like an dad bod deluxe? That's probably the easiest body type to get if you're natty and sticking to a good routine and moderate diet.

Conscription is rape and those that enforce it shoul be treated as such.

>>6377
Conscription is Reactionary if it is done by Capitalist States (and only applies to Men) but it is Progressive if it is done by Socialist States (and applies to both Men and Women), which is why the entire 18-year old population of the future Global USSR will be conscripted to join the International Red Guards in order to both purge all 18-year olds of Fascist, Liberal, and Revisionist beliefs, in order to ensure the entire population embraces the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the highest stage of Marxism, and to ensure that every 18-year old Woman is purged of all vestiges of Bourgeois Femininity and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary, so that universal Female service in the International Red Guards between the ages of 18 and 20 will become a rite of passage to transform them into Liberated Socialist Women that uphold the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the highest stage of Marxism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️ 💇‍♀️👩‍🦲!

forcing people to join the military against their will is tyrannical fascist bullshit to begin with and fascism and discrimination kind of go hand and hand, it's not like a fascist regime is going to try to be fair and egalitarian when they are dragging people out of their homes and forcing them to go fight in a war and get blown to smithereens and to sit here and pretend otherwise is just obtuse. it would be like debating over whether or not serial killers ought to be less discriminatory in their killings and not just target black people or immigrants or homeless people.

the more interesting and important discussion we should be having is about why governments discriminate the way they do when it comes to military draft or recuitment, why they choose the particular people they target, i.e. young males who are not rich or white. the race and class element are pretty self-explanatory, but why young males? most people will probably say it's because 18 and 19 year old boys are more physically fit for military service and have greater strength and stamina and dexterity than older men or women, but is that really the reason?

anyone who has worked at any job requiring physical labor knows that 18 and 19 year old boys tend to be pretty terrible at everything, weak and clumsy and constantly screwing up and breaking things and injuring themselves and getting tired and having to take frequent breaks and complaining and whining all the time. men reach the peak of their physical ability in their late 20s to mid 30s, not in their late teens. and an untrained skinny teenage boy is about as useless as an untrained skinny teenage girl when it comes to running long distances or carrying heavy equipment or climbing over obstacles. so it's not really about physical ability.

i think it's really about psychological malleability more than anything else, which is primarily a function of emotional maturity. women emotionally mature faster than men do, women tend to reach full emotional maturity by their 30s whereas men don't reach full emotional maturity until their 40s. everyone knows what teenage boys are like, any man can remember what he was like when he was 18 or 19 years old - essentially a confused, insecure, scared, naive, extremely sensitive and impressionable child desperately seeking validation and approval from others and wanting very badly to fit in and be accepted and be recognized, particularly by some kind of parental father figure. in oPost too long.

Sowwy jannies, I just need to vent.

My theymab older brother always gets away with it and I'm honestly shocked. You think one of his transgressions would catch up to him but no. First he sexually assaults me countless times over 2 years, then tries to do it to my sister (and fails from what I know), then he convinces my parents to deny me hrt when I was a minor and then finally he attempts to molest the sister of one of his childhood friends. *Also, he probably grooms repressing trans men into not transitioning (from what I know). All of this is typical rapist cishet male behaviour, but done under the veneer of being "nonbinary" and "queer".

When it comes to how often he raped me, I dont know the true number as it was simply that many "sessions", but I can give an estimate. If we say that it was weekly and there are about 50 weeks in a year, then it would amount to 50 times a year; we then double it to account for two years between the ages of 5 and 7 for a final value of 100 times. Now this is a very conservative estimate, if we say biweekly, then it would ammount to 100 times per year for a total value of 200 times. A close estimate is probably far less conservative than these values, its probably close to 400 - 600 times, as it was usually every other day, with several rapes happening in a single day. For more anecdotal and less rigorous evidence of his crimes; he would usually say very rapey things while raping me, a couple I remember are: "you know you want it" and "when we are old men in our 40s we will laugh at this", these lines often will ring through my head at my worst moments.

Now when he tried to do it to my sister, my sister eventually reported it, well the best a 5 year old child could report it. My sister was most likely spared from his crimes as she had a separate room and was also a cis girl (typically my parents really only care about rape or violence or threats of it when it comes to her but not to me).
When my parents learned of this when I was 7, they shamed me and removed my brother of all guilt, letting him off the hook. He stopped raping me, started to be my "friend" and I was supposed to never talk about it ever again. Eventually after living with him in the same house for another decade I simply broke and couldnt take it anymore; I reported it to my parents. My parents seemed to have completely forgetten what happened, they separated me but not him from the rest of the family. I went to live with mPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Hay una psyop masiva para generar odio contra argentina y justificar una posible intervención o lento takeover del país y sus recursos.

Por medio del mundial estan pintando al pais como una potencia sionista corrupta y despreciable. Estan habiendo demasiadas decisiones y doble vara arbitral que es dificil que sean todas coincidencia. Hay alguien interesado en generar toda esta dinamica, quiza para devolverle un favor a alguien y de paso indirectamente arrastrar polemica pero mejor no digo más. Despues del partido contra Egipto cualquier tipo de simpatia entre el pueblo que pudiera tener argentina en medio oriente y muchas partes del mundo directamente se evaporó.
Y por otro lado, llevan años queriendo pintar al pais como un pais racista, colonialista y hasta settler-imperialista por no tener negros en su seleccion o por sesgos historicos terribles que los anglosajones liberales y progres se tragan como bobos. Para muchos en su imaginario ya argenitina no es menos que el manifest destiny americano y por supuesto un estado ilegitimo.

It's simply provocative bullshit by a guy other neo-Nazis thought was too much. If you want to read a good book about insurgency (one that were unfortunately written by reactionaries) read Total Resistance and The Brigade.

>>6253
Negative homes. Siege is ideological not tactical. Just neo Nazi ideological nonsense . Read old mil manuals and start shooting with your bros. A decentralized group of homies is the way to go. One of you needs help, phone up the bros. And if one of you goes down, you should hypothetically trust your boy to not squeal.

If you can't trust them not to, don't shoot with them. Don't even tell them abt your guns. These are the tards that will fold under pressure and red flag you. Don't let them.

>>6261
This. Learn about the history of the SLA, Red Army Faction, and Black Panther Party to understand what NOT to do as an armed organization, specifically regarding adventurism. Avoid broaching the topic with lumpens who would ostensibly try and take advantage of the organization for criminal activity. Ask the question of whether the impetus to create a militia is due to an immediate pending need in the community (militarized police and ICE basically act as an occupying force for example, or your perfectly legal libertarian queer homestead in Colorado is accosted by thugs), or that of an individualistic nihilistic desire for violence. Your zeal can be channeled to other needs of your community first.

Do YOU have the mental and physical capacity to confidently organize with the discipline necessary to ensure that the esprit de corp reflect the revolutionary values that you, I am sure, claim to hold? Ask these questions, and then consult a trusted movement lawyer.

Look i love guns as much as the next person but sometimes i feel like we’re pointing in the direction of either major reform or outright banning them. And theres no way to cure a mental health crisis or poverty not without money some people arent willing to pay owning guns should be a right people retain till the end of time but its hard to think about it feeling like sometimes your in the wrong

So what if some schizo kills himself or his family or a bunch of random people? Under no circumstance can the means to overthrow the state be stripped from the proletariat, not even under a DOTP, you’re being sentimental if you disagree

That doesn't mean you need to have handguns sold in walmart tho, you can have easy but gated access, it works much better to stop mass shooting and yet people stay armed

>Look i love guns as much as the next person but sometimes i feel like we’re pointing in the direction of either major reform or outright banning them.

it's not going to happen. there are approximately 500 million civilian-owned firearms in the united states, about 55% of which are handguns and about 15% are semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, i.e. the kinds of weapons that are banned outright in countries like the uk or australia, so about 350 million guns would have to be bought back by the government and the administrative overheads of doing this in a country as big and spread out as the united states would be enormous, potentially costing the government upwards of $10,000 per gun. it would cost trillions of dollars to do such a thing in the us, and that's not even to mention the widespread public outrage and civil unrest that would certainly result, or the fact that firearm manufacturers and sporting goods retailers are major multi-billion dollar industries in the united states with tremendous lobbying power by way of the nra and its legions of devoted followers. it will be a winter wonderland in the deepest reaches of hell before firearms are banned in the united states.

the US has a very intelligent system. Republicans are pro-gun, but their voting base are mentally ill violent sociopaths, ensuring that the most anti-revolutionary and dangerous people in the US have guns.

Democrats on the other hand defang all people that could've otherwise gotten into communist theory and domesticates them back into the system. These people are not only assimilated, but they're also convinced that guns are evil and the worst, so democrats have all the people that could be worth a shit turned into harmless reformists and all the most dangerous forces of reaction armed to the teeth.

>Republicans are pro-gun

that's how they present themselves sure, but when it comes to people with felony convictions and undocumented or visa holding immigrants, they pretty much unanimously reject the second amendment. about a third of all black american males and a third of all immigrants are barred from owning guns, and roughly around 15-20% of americans in the lowest income quintile (<$34,510) have a felony conviction on their record, so they can't have guns. and it's important to note that even the most minor non-violent crimes, such as possession of less than a single gram of heroin or cocaine or meth, are felony offenses in almost all republican states and in most states in general, and about 80% of all felony convictions in the us are for non-violent crimes. so republicans are not really pro-gun, they are just pro-gun for middle-class white americans. it's all bullshit. republicans don't believe in anything, us politics is all just a performance, all the pro-gun shit is just marketing, it's a way to appeal to their key demographic of middle-class white people from middle america and secure funding from the nra and libertarian super pacs.

Ah, good shout. Need to toss some money their way, probably for Uhbik 2.

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lv2/
the packages that require lv2 list is a nice catalog of arch linux plugin packages
i recommend calf, distrho-ports, x42-plugins, and eq10q

You're always gonna suffer if you're trying to replicate professional audio workflows on linux. For basic MIDI sequencing and recording (muh real hardware synths autism) I use Muse because sequencing on Ardour used to suck even more. Made a lot more tracker music (mostly 4 channel mods in milkytracker, some in schism). I want to try out Radium, it's a tracker inspired DAW that's free if you build from source. Total spaghetti clusterfuck shitshow codebase with a bundled python2.

>>34382
Not much suffering since Pipewire came out. And even before then, JACK was probably alright. And I'm fine with the smaller plugin ecosystem, especially since my favourite synth, Vital, is Linux native anyways.
>because sequencing on Ardour used to suck even more
For me, it's alright since I found out how to open the piano roll window. Still a little awkward workflow wise, but eh. https://manual.ardour.org/working-with-midi/pianoroll-window/

>>34384
The suffering was never in the audio server. JACK on alsa plus realtime kernel was always amazing compared to windows. The moment you go for anything under wine whether it's plugins or DAW it's a bad time. The new pianoroll looks good in Ardour, but that wasn't there when I was shopping around for a DAW. I also prefer to have a grid sequencer for my drum machine as well.

Im an american ML and moved to china a few years ago, been doing the privileged ESL job thing, currently working at a gov uni for like 1700$ a month teaching 16 hours weekly while i study chinese and try to get out of english teaching with hopes to start a family and raise some red diaper kids, but im plagued by a sense of guilt. Is leaving the US behind the cowards way out? Am I abandoning the a righteous cause or a sinking ship?

Feel free to ask whatever other chinese labor questions you got too

>Am I a traitor for immigrating to china?
No.
>Is leaving the US behind the cowards way out?
Materialism does not have a concept of cowardice. That's a spook. At scale, you and everyone else that has and will immigrate to china are doing what is materially necessary.

It is no more cowardly than upgrading from a spear to a gun. Non-cowards are reactionary.

immigration is voting with your feet

Why do some people seem to believe that everyone is innately bisexual? I've seen this claim every now and then online, and apparently some prominent bisexuals (e.g. Gore Vidal, Billie Joe Armstrong) believe(d) it. I've even heard it twice IRL; the second time, a lesbian acquaintance of mine said something along the lines of "I'm gay enough that I know straight people aren't lying about being straight", which I concurred with in my head (although I said nothing). Personally, I'm a gay guy, or at least that's what I call myself, but there have been a few rare instances where I briefly wondered whether I actually am attracted to women, only minimally and/or while repressing it, and although I have always ultimately concluded that I am just gay, it does make me think about the idea that everyone is actually just at some point or another on a spectrum of bisexuality. That being said, it still seems highly improbable to me. What are your thoughts?

>Why do some people seem to believe that everyone is innately bisexual?

Wrong question. The correct question wouldbe: why do bisexuals, especially repressing ones, so often engage in sexual solipcism, i. e. the projection of their entire sexuality onto all of humanity when they are part of a sexual minority that should know better.

>>10732
Because empathy is an imperfect ability and picturing other people's mental process will always come with biases from your own experience.

>>10733

This is not empathy, this is narcissism. You are not picturing others, you are literally projecting yourself onto them. The question is why is this behavior so common among bisexuals who should know better because after all they themselves should be, as a sexual minority in a heteronormative society, have at least some experience with having another sexual orientation, the dominante one, projected onto them.

Certain queer people huff copium that secretly they're the actual dominant sexuality and three quarters of population just don't realise it.

Why does it seem like so many leftists support Michael Jackson to the point where they make defending him from all his abuse allegations a political issue?

I've seen this a lot recently, with the new MJ biopic out as well as all the new allegations of abuse from the Cascio family and also a new Leaving Neverland documentary. In spite of the left staunchly holding on to #metoo and the fact abuse survivors/victims need to be believed and supported, the same isn't true with the multiple people who have accused MJ of CSA and grooming. The Epstein case has made discussions of pedophilia, CSA, and power imbalances in relationships mainstream. People are even going so far as to debate whether or not the Age of Consent should be raised to 21 in order to shield 18-year olds from predatory 30-year olds. Yet, if you bring up the fact MJ engaged in such things, you're denounced as a right-winger or reactionary (or even a racist).

Perhaps the most bizarre claims I've heard is that MJ was pro-Palestine and (allegedly) wrote a song about Palestine, Israel knew this so Mossad planted the CSA allegations against him in order to ruin him before the song could be recorded. There's no evidence of this, and MJ actually travelled to Israel and met with the IOF about a month after the Chandlers made the allegations known. I've also heard the conspiracy that MJ was protecting kids from the "real predators" in Hollywood and was saving kids from being trafficked to Epstein Island. That claim is easily debunked once you realize Epstein didn't buy his infamous island until 1998, and MJ was already taking in kids long before that.

And let's be honest: even if MJ did nothing criminal with the boys he surrounded himself with, his behaviours with them was still NOT appropriate. A grown man in his 30s and 40s should never, ever be having sleepovers with 8,9, and 10-year olds, much less sharing a bed with them. Plus, all of the stories his accusers tell fit perfectly with the model of grooming: MJ would dazzle the parents of these kids and buy them lots of expensive items, the parents would let their guards down and allow him to do what he pleased with their children, then MJ would have almost romantic-like relations with these kids. In no possible world would that ever be acceptable for a grown man to do.

So what gives? Why do so many comrades still defend MJ so viciously?

He’s a pedo. No questions asked.

>Why does it seem like so many leftists support Michael Jackson
I swear you fags just make shit up as an excuse to be angry at leftists

He was an awful human being made worse by everything that ever happened to him that he then inflicted on others, it’s a cliché story in pretty much every social class. He just also happened to be a musical genius on the level of the Beatles (multiple time Paul collaborator) and give us On The Wall, Thriller, and Bad. These things aren’t mutually exclusive.

he stole a lot of things from lesser known artists and never gave any credit. but then again that's most famous artists, they aren't really "geniuses", they just happen to be the figurehead for an industrial level of effort coming from multiple different artists, which makes them seem way more talented than they really are

parasocial idolatry and hero worship are unhealthy and are a recipe for cognitive dissonance. people elevate human beings into gods who can do no wrong and then when their false gods inevitably reveal themselves to be nothing more than flawed fallible human beings, sometimes in the most outrageous and reprehensible ways imaginable, the idolator cannot reconcile the two conflicting perceptions and so their mind cracks and splits in two. they might go into denial and reject the part of themselves that sees the reality to embrace the part of themselves that still wants to worship and love their hero and continue worshipping them as if nothing happened, they might interpret it as a personal betrayal and reject the part of themselves that once idolized their hero and embrace the part of themselves that is filled with resentment and pain at the betrayal and decide to go stalk and kill the person a la mark david chapman. the rational sane perspective is that he was just a guy who recorded and performed some popular music in the 80s and then later turned out to be a child molester and that as a fan or a listener you never had any genuine two-way human relationship with him and he never knew you or cared about you and you never really knew him or cared about him either, you just enjoyed the songs he recorded and the stage persona he portrayed and that's as far as it goes.

I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

I think chaos really sucks and I don't like the "oh, that thing you were doing? It was a chaos plan all along" thing that keeps fucking happening. Like, I was excited in SM2 to be fighting the tyranids, and was really disappointed that they were just a splinter fleet/opening act for chaos shit heads AGAIN.

Sorry if you love CSM, but imo they're losers, and after 10,000 years of being losers I think it's stupid and shitty that they're treated like a real threat, and I'm sick of seeing them.

>>48149
Just for the record, I dont want them to be antagonists, I want to play as them.

>>48146
Don't worry, judging by previous entries in the series Total Warhammer40k is going to drip feed every other faction into the game as DLC.

Dawn of War 4 on the other hand is much more shaky on whether it will eventually have all the factions. It's being made by the devs of Iron Harvest and if you don't know anything about Iron Harvest basically it was a kickstarter RTS that was extremely disappointing and quickly abandoned after like 2 DLCs so I'm not expecting much from those devs. I expect DOW4 to get 1 year of post-launch support before development stops and I would strongly encourage all fans to stay away from Dawn of War 4 based solely off the track record of the dev team since it's not the same team that did DOW 1 and 2.

The Total Warhammer guys on the other hand love milking players with DLC so it's pretty much guaranteed that Chaos, Tau, Tyranids, and everyone else is eventually coming to TW40k the only question is in what order and how long it will take before all the DLC has been added.

Was Iron Harvest that bad, I heard good things about its campaign. Thats my main hope for DoW4, I dont care for skirmish or multiplayer, I just want an interesting campaign for Chaos.

Talk space socialism to me. Was recently rewatching a few series with my fiance, both old and new Trek, and we both feel like Deep Space 9 is our favorite series (closely followed by TNG).

Everything else in order from best-to-worst would be:
Deep Space 9
The Next Generation
Voyage Home
Wrath of Khan
Undiscovered Country
Enterprise
Picard Season 3
Lower Decks
Voyager
Prodigy
Motion Picture
Strange New Worlds

Worf is a really interesting character. He's a Klingon that knows nothing about Klingons except what he learns through the lens of the federation. So on the one hand, he learns all the rules to being a klingon, but none of the exceptions to the rules, and he ends up becoming the most Klingon Klingon.

What I mean is his main narrative arc in TNG involves him colliding head on with the contradictions of Klingon society. He's internalized a rigid, highly inflexible code of honor that other Klingons kind of respect but also find pretty bewildering. He's willing to take discommendation in service of the empire when it's strongly implied that no other Klingon would be willing to. At the same thing, it's recognized that this honorable act is in service of covering up another house's dishonor. Eventually it all leads to a civil war, which instead of purifying the empire only solidifies these contradictions, which Worf also finds incomprehensible, as highlighted by the scene when he's in a bar with his brother Kern, whose busy drinking with warriors from the enemy faction.

It's also pretty interesting how Worf ends up becoming what is probably the most important Klingon of the century. He participates and ends up deciding two separate succession crises by killing corrupt chancellors and even restores the office of the emperor, before putting his own adoptive house in the position of the chancellorship.

It's a shame that none of this was really followed up on post ds9. Worf single handedly positioned himself to rejuvenate the dying Klingon empire, and all that was killed in its crib by the tng movies and abramslop.
