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.

Anon, I haven't even finished Wasona yet. You're leagues ahead of me already.

nnn, ni la mi wile sona e ni: ma SSSP anu ma ante pi lawa pi jan pali la jan li pali ala pali e toki.
Mmm, this made me wonder if there someone ever made conlangs in the USSR or any other sociallst state.

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).
When you do and you get good would you like to translate communist theory? I have tried but many things are complicated to translate (maybe they're easy when in context I don't know):

• proletariat - jan pali, jan pi jo ala.

I don't really care for shadman's art but I do appreciate his willingness to make stuff that people find fucked up.

lol like the punchline is precisely that shadman is a piece of shit but autists with moral ocd plague the internet

>>47587
is this guy seriously saying that trump, brexit, etc etc are because of fandom culture/capeshit… what a retard

its not hard to actually read the thing you know

You can always wear steel you know. I wear white gold which is almost undistinguishable from steel

>>47552
actually good stainless steel is almost as expensive as silver or gold. hell, theres most definitely some artisan near you making relatively cheap jewelry on demand

Summer is here, what are your fashion inspirations for this season?

Oh almost forgot the Soviet drama series of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson is very good.

>best "argument" is a one-sentence quote (lol) by Lenin literally just saying he likes art (…? I literally brought up Marx saying he liked art too in the same post so you're also an illiterate faggot) and that "well, academics who call themselves "marxists" talk endlessly about culture ergo culture is relevant to communism, duh!"
<has the gall to call others retarded
Genuine fucking cattle. Protip: the "culture war" insult exists precisely because focusing on culture is PB nonsense, which is exactly what the politically impotent do.

>>47582
Yea dude youre a real fucking moron and your take is fundamentally undialectical.

And here is a list of Marxist (or at least adjacent) directors:

Eisenstein, Passolini, Godard, Pontecorvo, Sembene, Loach, Rocha, Tomas Alea, Santiago Alvarez, Boots Riley

Literally off the top of my head.

pretty cool that it seemed a while ago people were more cynical about mass media pandering to them with their beliefs and identities and now it seems people demand to be pandered to xd

>>47584
you still haven't explained why there cant be communist art - the thing the Bolskeviks and every revolutionary communist party was obsessed with building. Or more broadly why culture is somehow beneath the interests of Marxists.

Your incessant whining is ironically the same culture war bs you have an issue with.

>>47353
it kinda was in s1 but s2 just became a weird story about love?? and like innie lifes have meaning too.

Ben Stiller is a counterrevolutionary.

>>47524

Now they're BOTH murderers!

>a-train gets redeemed and helps the boys
<gets killed a couple of eps later

>theres now a virus to kill the big bad
<gets destroyed the next ep after it turns out it works

>the son finally stood up to the big bad
>gets his ass beat immediately

this show is so ass lol. im not inherently against diverging from source material but at least garth ennis knows how to tie a plot together. this is just a fucking mess

>>47542
>but isn’t Ganondorf fighting an anti-colonial struggle
No, he's a despotic warlord from the east who hates Hyrule's freedoms. The closest he gets to a clear motive is in Wind Waker, but he still does nothing good. He's not a particularly good example of a well written villain, but he makes for a great example of a villain who makes no sense to redeem.

I don't respect the "Villain" as a concept.

>>47571
I mean I feel like the games imply that his role in events is basically a historical constant like Link and Zelda, so he doesn't really need to have strong motivations, it's like saying "why does Link simp for Zelda", because he wouldn't be Link otherwise

>>47573
that's if you take Skyward Sword prophecy and ending at face value,where their bloodlines are cursed to be revived and fight again

this bait might take off more on twitter js

Peak Review

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

>>47110
Marvel - Hiterlite cringe stuff in cap book as usual

Spider-man #1000 coming up, MJ is Venom

Thor is a mortal again with amensia and uses a sling and hammer as his weapons (Peak by Ewing)

X-Men, same old same old

DC is killing it with Absolute line
Marvel's Ultimate line is coming to an end, other than Ultimates, nothing has been consistently good

>>47110
Absolute is okay-to-good, everything else is crap.
Begging people to read non-Big 2 stuff, the medium needs to be set free.

Watched A Knight of the Seven Kingdom yesterday. I had little interest in any GOT related TV since halfway through season 6, but decided to check this one out due to positive word of mouth.
It has almost none of the grimness and politicking that were the staple of the original series, the tone I would describe as a slightly dark comedy, with dramatic elements sprinkled on. The protagonist is a dim witted impoverished hedge knight, the entirety of first season covers a single tourney spanning couple days. The sets are composed out of a single jousting arena, a castle hall, a and a tent town around it. No dragons here, nor epic battles. It does have my absolutely favorite fight between knights in all of cinema thought. Like I am no expert on medieval combat, but it does look exactly how I imagined a combat between two men clad head to toe in iron would look like. Slugfest where both opponents are accumulating cuts and punctures and fractures, until they cant stand anymore.
Only 6 episodes, each little over 30 minutes, the whole thing could have been a long movie. Its really good, go watch it.

>>47472
the show is based on 3 short stories, this first season was the first one, and the second one is imo the best, so the next season should be even better

>dim witted
while definitely a bit slow, the man nonetheless has the "commoner wisdom" aplenty, and a decency that clearly lacks in the upper classes, which makes him very sympathetic. Only a commoner like him that learned chivalry from a jaded hedge knight can both recognize the story of lords and knights being honorable as obviously false, and still buy into it by applying chivalric principles himself

I also like that you see why the baratheon rebellion was successful: nobody really likes the targaryen, they're still perceived as foreign invaders with regularly cruel crazy lunatics in power, and without the actual dragons to enforce their rule they're very reliant on the big regional power lords which have plenty of rivalries among themselves.
The second season will expand a bit on the latest targaryen civil war where ser arlan lost his nephew (leading to him taking dunk as a squire as replacement and becoming a hedge knight out of grief), while still being grounded in the day to day of dunk

it's so fucked up how the show makes you root for dany

monarchist's kid, who have their "birthright" stolen

The Seven Kingdoms was promised to her 300 years ago

The Targ conquest of the seven kingdoms was historically progressive. Hang all maesters, exterminate the aristocrats, elevate the common folk.

Going canoe camping at Kawartha Highlands soon, have most of the gear but still need to get something to sleep in. Torn on whether to disregard past negative experiences sleeping on the ground (I hate air mattresses) and get a tent or gamble on a hammock (never tried it).
