A bit out of date, but dug up this old meme of Althusser.

RIP this thread
posting israeli diaper force as I mourn

What are good fonts for a zine? They should be easily readable and print well even with low quality printer/ink. Also would be nice if they are aesthetic.

>>Ukraine launches an offensive into the popular republics and Crimea, they advance a little. Ukraine declares war on Russia.
>>The Donbass and Luhansk republics welcome the Russian army.
>>The Ukrainian army advances into Crimea, but gets stopped. They conquer some, but get boggled down.
<Ukrainian army had been preparing for a massive offensive before Russia took the initiative

It's not necrobumping, it barely hit page 13, (if I recall rightly) and it's a slower board.

>The doping shit is also nonsense
It's full of double standards with these things. I remember back when they were schizo posting about China using 12 year olds because Chinese people tend to be smaller (as if a literal child would perform better at sports)

>>43522
This is what all that money is spent for, the drama

>>43508
Mindbroken. That'll haunt her for the rest of her days, now.

>>43522
Yeah I agree, it's fucked up. The athletes should be allowed privacy to react to the event, especially if they lose.

>>43507
Modern Olympic Judo is pretty sad in general, they barely throw and get in a hold before it's a "win". In the old days you had to genuinely get the person down and pin them and it wasn't called the moment the person hit the mat, because Judo isn't just throws FFS.

They're combining Nettles and Rhaena's characters into a single one, just like how GOT merged Jeyne Poole and Sansa's storylines.

>>43500
What do you have against dragons

>>43506
Nothing. I don't mind a dragon battle from time to time. But they are adding a sort of high fantasy element to the story that undermines the feudal political scheming that made GoT great.

>>43525
The whole point of the story is that this is supposed to be the turning point away from the height of Targaryen power, because they bungled the politics.

>>43500
I respect that they've added a dragonfucker character, makes me feel represented

The Transformers comics are a mixed bag. IDW has a lot of good stuff, but they also tend to overdo shit or get a bit too crazy with some characters, not to mention retcons and the like. Honestly I'd recc reading the wiki and determining what time-line/publication interests you more. Some comic lines are extremely horrific, with Arcee being a forced transition by a mad scientist who she later murders and Shockwave murdering ancient cybetronians only to resurrect them as zombies, and then attempting to annihilate the universe. Then there's IDW's Overlord who is just horrifying to the point that even Megatron balked at him.

I like the concept of the toys, it's like a puzzle and two toys in one.

Transformers One trailer came out and it looks pretty fun to me. Some people are whining about the designs being Earthspark designs but I don't get what they're so pissy about.

>>43476
What could be worse than the bayformers designs

>>43478
Not all the bayformers designs were bad IMO. Off the top of my head I think the Robots in Disguise design for Bumblebee was worse and didn't even make sense considering it was supposed to be a sequel to Prime. But yeah I don't think it's worse.

Also interested in this.

PBS frontline has a lot of good videos, the one I linked is about the Iraq War through the view of the Iraqi people.

I've had mixed success with "The Great Courses" you can find a lot on Youtube and they're easy to pirate if it's not there:

This ones good, some aren't, it really depends on the lecturer they have. Generally, anything before 2005 or so will be higher quality. I find that they are the ideal in terms of engagement required, it's a step above pop-shit or random Youtubers but it's not an audiobook which really demands 100% engagement.

Introduction to Human Behavioral Biology

Stanford professor Robert Sapolsky gave the opening lecture of the course entitled Human Behavioral Biology and explains the basic premise of the course and how he aims to avoid categorical thinking.

pseud?

surprisingly good pbs documentary
anyone wants to watch it on https://tv.leftypol.org/?

I just love playing RPG so much. Don't think i've ever had a better power fantasy than it.

how come there no sci-fi general in here

>>43375
Make one, anon. There's nothing stopping you.

>>43238
>they have two brains
That's cool as fuck, I love when fantasy goes a step beyond. Makes the world feel so much more real.

>>43125
>Read this book that misrepresents and parodies fantasy and science fiction fictionally authored by Hitler!
I already did, and its boring, overrated and poorly written like most attempts at satire.
Not an argument. This nonsense is liberalism that deliberately attempts to project fictional stories onto real life with poor parallels that speak more about the author's closeted vision of the world and others, than the stories being referred to. The very fact that it was meant to mock Conan (among other stories) demonstrates that Spinrad utterly misunderstands what those stories were about, in the same way that reactionaries misunderstand and misrepresent such stories by the same token. In other words that book id further demonstration that liberals and reactionaries are two sides of the same fascist coin.
>inb4 Spinrad and Le Guine said it was about how we should think about our ideas of heroes
Its an entirely West-centric understanding of stories and settings that relies on the fact that fascists appropriate anything they may like, regardless of a literary works actual themes. As a broader example with orcs, this has been discussed to death in the fantasy thread and LOTR thread, wherein both this conception of "orcs as blacks" or other ideas of "orcs being codified others" fails on the grounds that MAGIC and DEITIES exist and concepts of pure evil and good manifest in a literal sense. Only ideologues and idiots would attempt to apply this literally or unironically to real life people. By the same metric as propagated by Spinrad and other liberals you can just as easily make Orcs out to be Nazi allegories, doesn't make it any less idiotic.

So I'm reading dune with this "white savior" shit in mind and imagine my surprise when the atreides aren't even white.

If you include myth in fantasy (you should) then it's the oldest genre that we have surviving examples of and arguably the richest of all literary traditions.

>sci-fi is fiction
yes, it's in the name lol
>sci-fi = magic
does not follow from above

sci-fi has fictional science, but it (and its consumer) still assumes the scientific structuring of reality ("physics" in the modern sense). it is a modern disenchanted worldview

magic on the other hand assumes there are forces beyond physics, meaning beyond mere physical manipulation, usually with a will of their own. hence there is a degree of uncertainty that is not due to lack of scientific knowledge or technological development but due to something that the agent can never fully control even in theory. this is still an enchanted view of the world

both can be done well or poorly and both attract many idiots. I have to agree with the other anon about sci-fi and midwits though. magic does not attract midwits for the same reasons anon has given.

I don't know shit about skincare, where should I start?

>>43243
When washing your hands, you should always use it. For showers and baths, it's up to you.

>>43279
exfoliate (clear the skin to varying degrees) and moisturize (use a product with occlusives and humectants in it, and drink water)
sunscreen is essential too. get spf 30 or higher and broad-spectrum and non-comedogenic
there are also treatments for specific skin conditions
examples of exfoliation: washing with soap or body wash, loofahs, pumice stones, facial cleansers, aha or bha chemical peels, foot peel masks
examples of moisturization: anything that calls itself a moisturizer, body lotion, hair products like hair oils and hair masks and some of the ingredients in shampoos and conditioners
ive also seen "foot creams" and "hand creams" that have both exfoliating and moisturizing ingredients. they have urea/carbamide in them since it has special softening qualities against really rough skin. there are high concentration urea creams as well
you could have oily skin or dry skin or different patches of oily and dry. you might have to target them with different products or find a product that claims to work on "combination" skin if you have that

>>43283
for example for oily skin, you might want to exfoliate more and not use an overly oily moisturizer
for dry skin, you want to moisturize more

i use these loofah gloves
theyre pretty cheap
cover them in soap or body wash lather and rub them all over yourself
