Yes.

"complexity" and "media literacy" are just literati cope for the fact that hollywood censorship won't allow for straightforward depiction of genuine progressive ideals (communism)

Anyone got recommendations for a left-wing TTRPG that's not whimsical gay coffeeshop shenanigans?

Start a discord?

Lancer RPG is a mecha TTRPG that was created by leftists. It takes place in the far future where people overthrew their authoritarian intergalactic government of Union, the Second Committee. Now the Union and Third Committee upholds utopian post scarcity pillars but this has not been spread to the rest of human space and Corporate states exist under Union and Union is scared to be a little too proactive in galactic liberation in order to not replicate the horrors and tyranny of Second Committee.

Theres way more to it than that but its a great game for mech based combat and the Galaxy is so big your party can be Union soldiers liberating slaves on a backwards planet. Or people who live in the shadow of Union on a planet or space that doesn't get it much attention.

So what do you do to cope anon?

>Use the triangle technique. Rather than looking away or looking down (as this shows a lack of confidence), you can also look at another spot on their face. Imagine an inverted triangle connecting their eyes and mouth. Every five seconds, rotate which point of the triangle you are looking at.

>The zone of proximal development (ZPD) is a concept in educational psychology that represents the space between what a learner is capable of doing unsupported and what the learner cannot do even with support. It is the range where the learner is able to perform, but only with support from a teacher or a peer with more knowledge or expertise. This person is known as the "more knowledgable other."

>The key to fixing poor posture is strengthening and stretching the muscles in the upper back, chest, and core.

>Shoulder strengtheners include scapula squeezes (squeezing your shoulder blades together for 30 seconds at a time) and rows (using a resistance band to pull back your elbows like you're rowing).

>Core strengtheners include modified planks (in which you hold a push-up position while propped up on your elbows) or simply tightening your abdominal muscles, pulling your navel in toward your spine.

>An easy way to stretch your chest muscles: simply put your arms behind your back, grasp both elbows (or forearms if that's as far as you can reach), and hold the position.

>You'll also have to work on your posture in everyday activities. A simple trick when you're sitting (even watching TV): Put a rolled towel behind your shoulders. It makes you sit up straight so the towel won't fall.

There is an exercise which will fix the 'scissor position'.

It's the very communist Russian squat kick.

not really, it mostly changes their orientation. it's not actually important how far both of them extend outwards, only the overall bulk that is visible. with a straight posture your butt won't look as large from the side, but it can actually look nicer from behind and the genuinely gourgeous women i notice on the street often have good posture.

"good posture" is a meme

The body, especially the spine, is meant to move instead of maintain the same forces all the time. "Bad posture" is really just weakness - either in holding a position or moving under (even very light) load. Slouching is just a result of your core muscles being fatigued.


 

This show has everything. It's very luigipilled and burgerpunk. It has the zeitgeist. Very nice. Did enjoy. Would recommend. It's like Breaking Bad and Fear and Loathing meets Akira and Paprika.

To be fair, Scavenger’s Reign doesn’t try to be political at all

>i liked scavengers reign more.
Never heard of it. I'll have to check that out, but holy shit did they rip off Moebius's artstyle. This a little too far.

>>45819
exactly. dont do politics if your gonna half ass it with vague 'oh this sucks' without even hinting at a practical non-idealist solution

>>45818
That's like saying you don't use an apples to grow apple trees, you use apples seeds, while apples are perfectly fine for apple tree planting.

I really enjoyed it. Just like Breaking Bad, though, my opinion is that all shows should be this level of smart, this shouldn't be the unique diamond it inevitably will become. I also don't think it needs a season 2. It's going to stuffer from the same writing issues every season 2 show has when it wraps up everything so neatly. It'll focus too much on interpersonal drama to delay and buffer episodes because they don't have a real plot anymore. It'll also pull a midichlorians bullshit when it inevitably explains too much lore about the alternate dimension powered by mother earth or whatever they decide it will be.


Yes, the writing was good, the politics were on point, the art style grew on me, and the animation was great when it wanted to be (just look at the way the turtle blinks!)

A thread for pro wrestling discussion.

What promotions and wrestlers are you into, anon?

What did you think of wrestlemania weekend?

Did you watch wrestling as a kid and gave up on it, if so what was the last straw?

As an adult, I think "pro" wrestling is silly and immature.

I used to like wrestling when I was a kid in the 90s. I was a typical fan who liked the faces like hulk hogan an ultimate warrior. I mainly watched the weekend shows that they showed on free TV. It was usually the WCW show first then the wwf show after. I largely stopped watching after 1995 then got a bit into it in 1997. Right now I like watching the old shows they keep putting up on YouTube and also catching japanese stuff from the 80s and 90s that I can find on youtube.

Here’s the copypasta from the /lit/ writing general thread:

/wg/ AUTHORS & FLASH FICTION: https://pastebin.com/ruwQj7xQ
RESOURCES & RECOMMENDATIONS: https://pastebin.com/nFxdiQvC

= WHEN POSTING FOR CRITIQUE =
- State whether you want feedback on prose, dialogue, pacing, general impressions, or if anything at all is fine.
- Give context. Short story, essay, chapter from a novel? Is it genre fiction? Standards and expectations vary based on what you're writing.
- If it's a first draft, say so. Most anons aren't willing to critique low effort writing samples, so edit and proofread.
- Images are more frequently engaged with than links, but do as you please. Pastebin often rejects content and doesn't allow italics, so rentry.co is the suggested alternative.
You're asking for a stranger's time and effort. Put some of your own in.

Thanks friend. I will try and check out those books. I had forgotten I've been meaning to read the Le Guin one for a while.

Well some friends read a section of my novel and they don't think I should throw it in the trash so I guess I have to keep working on it.

A general for "western" animations/cartoons.
Gonna start off with a recommendation to watch The King and the Mockingbird the 1980 version especially, absolutely comrade-pilled movie.

it's ok as far as "wot if superman but he wuz evil" kind of writing goes. i couldn't stand the boys, so that should tell you something. it annoys me how many simpletons the show attracts though, too many free-thinkers who think the CIA dude is great, as if the show wasn't bending itself backwards to make that character look as good as possible, it's nolan batman levels of glowie propaganda lol

>>45620
You say the writing is bad and the show bends over backwards to make Cecil look good but the show regularly shows you that he's an opportunistic piece of shit. Every evil thing Mark defeats he gives to the boys in the research lab. he even takes a Dr. Mengele tier criminal and puts him at the head of the GDA's corpse desecration program

>>45619
I don't speak Japanese, and I do expect the japanese dialogue to be garbage in most animes. Even the subs and dubs are frequently garbage too.

An example of what I mean in Invincible. Episode season 1 episode 5. Some dude goes to a mafia boss to finish paying his debt. The Mafia boss says he's too valuable to let him simply leave. The dude gets enraged and breaks the boss's desk. The tone is serious and the dude looks distressed.

Then a ridiculous exchange happens. First of all, the boss isn't intimidated. Then he starts mockingly screaming "yeah, see! See! Impressive shit like that is exactly why I'm never letting you go!" right in the dude with superpowers face. It doesn't make sense, he's being blackmailed into serving this mafia boss just for being strong? It's idiotic. It's not blackmail. Nothing keeps him from serving this random ass boss. Besides, can't the strong dude just kill the boss?

Then the tone changes completely into a comic one-liner tone, the boss says "plus, now you gotta pay for the desk, too 😜. This is imported Italian maple! 😜". It's not funny. It breaks the supposed seriousness of the scene. It's a super dumb one liner. And the series is filled with this type of unfunny shitty wink wink "jokes".

>>45640
It's like it's written by a sheltered white guy that thinks saying phrases like "that's gonna leave a mark!" and "you're barking up the wrong tree!" is the pinnacle of humor.

>>45591
Then you would probably like any [EDITED] video or ytp from back in the day.
It's just that, but users back then genuinely enjoyed them instead of being smug and acting like the reddit atheist of yesteryear; you just can't like the funny swear video alone, it has to be against someone or be only "''ironic'" even when it's not even accurate, again act like you have to be superior a "superior" redditor instead just liking the funny swears.

So you might be looking at the name of this thread and thinking Language learning as a hobby? Why yes, this thread is to be dedicated to those that are learning a new language as a hobby.

Not only this but to provide resources for those that wanna get help with their progress and just talk about their language learning journey.
