He's actually Jewish(which yeah I know)

>>35232
is Jewish Anarcho-Maoism a new ideology I don't think I've ever heard of it before

>>35233
You know its the whole Director/Producer being a Jew thing.

>>35224
Director =/= Screenwriter nor does it mean he controls the production, it's likely he needed the job, the CIA had a script and some people behind the curtains making sure things were as retardedly anti-communist as possible and there you go - Red Dawn is made.

As for Conan, it's not right-wing or whatever, if you had to give it an ideology it's primitivist, but honestly it's less about ideology and more of a story of a feudal primitive world and a man that rose up on blood and iron to defeat it, it's a story first and foremost, an ideology is almost irrelevant to it. The Conan thread has discussion about this.

You can always try creating a /lit/ general thread on /hobby/.

was there a language learning thread or did i imagine it? would post in roulette but i don't know if its appropriate

let’s get newgrounds and metafilter poppin again. Something Awful is already back up and running.

Sorry, but channers are just as incurious about things as anyone else on the internet
Your well thought out reply or thread OP about a topic that you hope is fresh is going to be ignored in favor of a thread about "eastern spirituality" or meme pop history or whatever

What the hell is this?

Maybe rather than complaining about poor people he should be complaining about rich people not giving adequate funding to all schools . Things like "high school ranking" are stupid. If all schools were properly funded then schools could all give IB and AP classes as options. People who study hard can still get all college credit and IB classes while people who don't study can coast on regular classes. School funding should become a state and federal thing rather than the burden being on local property values.

>>19421

It seems like thats the problem he's describing. Lower income students means less funding means more rich people leave and creates a underfunded school that has less electives and chances for students to get opportunities in college credit.

Why is this discussion in a SUPERMAN thread?

>Muh Public Schooling
Public Schooling as a rule in the USA is garbage regardless, housing or not. In the Boston area? It's fucking awful most of the time. ESL has nothing to do with it, and if the system tanks because of a large number of illiterate immigrants, than that's a very fragile and shitty system to begin with.

>>19422
>more rich people leave
They're not leaving anywhere LOL, they weren't going to nor investing in these Public Schools because the rich go to private schools, OR the Public School is just a token diploma path before jumping into college through some pocket-padded recommendations.

>Nu-52 supes. It’s shit
Years after it came out, holy shit that series really was the biggest fuck up DC made on a multiversal level.

I’m gonna do a review of this trash series made by Jews and foot fetishists.

Here’s a list of the main problems:
- Way to much filler and pointless filler arcs.
- Nonexistent to inconsistent character development.
- God awful pacing.
- Plot holes LOTS of plot holes.
- Basic principles of animation and art design consistently ignored and not on purpose

Okay let’s begin this review

Filler is a major problem affecting the enjoyability of Steven universe as a show. For example the reveal of the cluster, a major point in the shows progression takes 72 episodes simply to be mentioned, within those 71 episodes prior to it most of the screentime is spent on random stories and monster of the week episodes that never develop Steven or the other gems as characters as Rebecca sugar didn’t actually write the show but merely got the story board artists to randomly draw what they wanted like what Ward did but with none of the self awareness or editing for smart writing along with the fact that Stevens personality keeps resetting itself. This fact is not an isolated incident in the show as nearly all seasons except for the last one repeatedly have this problem of having major plot point be isolated with massive gaps between them of endless filler episodes and arcs that have almost 0 impact on the story overall with exceptions like Lars.

As mentioned prior much of Steven universe is filled with filler episodes whom fail consistently to actually develop the characters of the show due to constant resets and a plot that wasn’t written professionally, unfortunately I cannot just excuse those episodes simply for being filler as even the main episodes fail to actually develop the characters with stories like pearls forced fusion with garnet being forgotten about or Steven’s empathy for mass murderers the diamonds after it was established repeatedly that Steven was emotionally immature and needed to develop as a person to understand that not everyone can or should be forgived for their actions lest more would face suffering. Steven universe fails to consistently develop its characters and its ideas on that development routinely become ignored.

> Rebecca Sugar specifically designed to the world so that both communism and fascism never exist
That’s so incredibly stupid that I need to hear her say it so I can laugh.
Is there an interview somewhere?

I can't find it but there was an interview

Ironically these race-swap edits are pretty common on /trash/ for the Bleached and Blacked threads, which acciidentally kinda created an entire guide for race-changing illustrations in edits, which porn-fags have used to extreme effect, changing entire comics.

>end-game scenarios of any kind are not plausible
This is a valid argument but it goes for the whole utopia genre I think.
Anyway I'm finishing China Mountain Zhang, it's not really utopian but in the book the US underwent a socialist revolution and a cultural revolution and humanity is fixing climate change so there's that.

Anyone remember the Earthsea animated adaptation?

You mean the Ghibli one?

You mean the Miyazaki one, made by his son?

>>34865
allianceism has failed every time it has been tried. you have to be pragmatic and let the ur-quan recruit humanity as battle thralls. it's not a perfect system but it's the best of all systems that have been tried so far

>>34866
There is no need to be such a *silly cow*. We can all go *camping* into *happy town* together. Best *campers* are the *happy campers*. Orz are not *many bubbles*, Orz is "one with many *fingers*." Do you want to *squirt*? If you want to, then you do. It is best, I know it.

have fun, its deffo very inspired by it; its also what the stanley parable ripped off if you've played that.

>>34855
I've forced so many people to play the stanley parable over the years. So yes, that's very exciting. Thank u.,

>>34852
I haven't read it, I was just referring to the fanfic I read. But the audiobook should just play the footnotes after the reference if it's that important to the narrative.

>>34857
this. i would have happily listened to the end notes if they were part of the audiobook, but they weren't.

>>34852
i would have never gotten through it if it weren't an audiobook. I had a really shitty job where I had to use my hands nonstop and never had free time after work. It was perfect for that part of my life.

I said it was "OK" but honestly I liked it a little more than that . I even made this meme and posted it on /lit/ at the time. I cringe at it in hindsight.

>He probably get that shit from gymcelling, not from rockclimbing.
Forearms are actually relatively hard to get that big from gymceling. Same as your calves. Both those muscle groups are made for doing a lot of work over long periods, and you need to use them a lot under load for them to get big. That's why fat or formerly fat people have the biggest calves (carrying extra body weight all the time) and rock climbers or sailors or something like that have big forearms.
>Just look at the Tibetans who actually lived in the mountains and climb rocks everyday.
Not the same thing as rock climbing. They are walking around, using their legs more. Some Tibetan monks or whatever do a bit of climbing but they are still mostly walking, not pulling themselves with their arms. If you mean people like sherpas they are walking carrying shit working their legs more than their arms. "Rock climbing" here is when you climb like a monkey on a rock face. You don't usually carry a lot of extra weight but your forearm muscles are supporting your body weight the whole time so they get a lot of work.
>One thing i noticed is that people who grow muscles due to their lifestyle or job rather than regular trainings have tight and compact ones instead of the very prominent bulges you see from bodybuilders
Bodybuilders specifically target muscle size (hypertrophy) and use steroids so they are going to beat anybody at size alone. Any form of training is going to make the muscles bigger though, and plenty will make the muscles noticeably big. However, most people live a sedentary lifestyle today, so someone with bigger muscles may not look bigger overall compared to the average person who has smaller muscles but more body fat. The lower body fat is a more noticeable difference on most fit people since you can't even see the muscles on your average couch potato to begin with.

Good stuff man

Greetings. I'm a nineteen year old agender human. I've lived in Manhattan my entire life, and I really have no desire to leave.
Since I was young when I've been taken to rural/ suburban areas I've started crying. There's something about them that makes me really hate them, they feel so boring and lonely, and whenever I'm there I get worried that I'm not going to be able to leave, or sad because I know they exist. Even now that I'm an adult I just start crying or panicking when I'm there.

>>35219
Ok, than stay in Manhattan, who's making you go to these rural areas?

>>35220
seems like they are doing ok in the city <3

It's not the worst. I'm liking it more as the years pass, from a story perspective. It wasn't made to be "liked" and I respect that.

I don't know about chemistry because if I remember it right Brian wasn't that into it at first, but she was all over him from the second she saw him. Taylor found him hot and liked his style and demeanor and chased him. You're just self-inserting.

I won't lie and say that Taylor x Lisa isn't cute tho.

>>34783
Idk how exactly I’m self inserting. I just think that their relationship is uninteresting

I’m pretty sure Rachel’s personality and arc is a trope, does anyone know the tropes name?
