for japanese listening, daily japanese with naoko is the best i know

Just the other day I was thinking about the loss of the 4chan language learning thread.

This movie is about vapidness to an extreme and pathetic degree, it's really good but I'm not sure I liked it for the same reasons the dudes in Cannes did.
It's about old/young dysphoria where if you are young and good looking everything works for you, because everybody the younger version of the protagonist interacts with is a stupid gooner or the capitalist ready to make money on gooning, and everybody the older protagonist interacts with is dismissive of that old hag (who still look incredibly good until her life force or whatever is taken). Both at their prime are still less beautiful than my wife btw.
In the end the younger one kills the older one, she thinks she can live her free life, but she sacrificed her future in a "it's dialectic you see" move, because they are all paranoid and refuse to communicate, they prefer to suffer and fuck around between each other rather than with the bizarre organization that gave them that power which is very american.
I loved the gore in general but I'm bad at metaphors and knowledge of hollywood and such so I'm sure I missed all of the stuff that made that the best screenplay of whatever, I would say Infinity Pool was slightly better than this which, in the words of Peter Griffin, insists upon itself.

Stephen King when somebody adapts one of his shitty books into objectively a masterpiece but they didn't faithfully adapt the 700 pages dedicated to the backstory of the ghost who says "boo!" in one scene which revealed they died from being nagged to death by their bitch whore wife

"(…)
I arrived​ in Cannes with a terrible line from Sélection officielle ringing in my head: ‘To paraphrase Woody Allen,’ Frémaux writes, ‘Cannes is like sex: even when it’s not good, it’s good.’ No one is immune to a degree of corniness when it comes to Cannes. David Lynch’s Cannes Diary, a ten-part series of short missives documenting his experience as jury president in 2002, is primarily a vehicle for him to indulge his love of café au lait, pain au chocolat, baguette avec fromage and vin rouge. He praises the French as ‘the greatest lovers of art and protectors of art in the world’ and looks on everything with childish wonder. That wonder extends to the theatres, where audiences clap and cheer at the tacky festival animation, in which the red staircase floats up into the sky. In Lynch’s words: ‘Everybody knows about carpet. And everybody knows the colour red. So you put those two things together and you get red carpet. But there’s nothing like the red carpet at Cannes.’

Was this Cannes as good as bad sex? Bad sex is usually short. At Cannes, screenings run from 8.30 a.m. to past midnight. If you are a programmer or distributor, it’s typical to watch as many as six films a day. Members of the press rush off to file their reviews or record their podcast ‘takes’. Tickets are released at 7 a.m., four days before each screening, and disappear in seconds. It’s common for screenings to be illuminated by dots of light, as people try to book one film while watching another.

<Jonathan Glazer’s Holocaust narrative defies convention. Using the bones of Martin Amis’s novel of the same name, Glazer focuses on the day-to-day life of the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss (Christian Friedel), and his wife, Hedwig (Sandra Hüller), who reside next door. They garden to the soundtrack of mass murder as the ash of human bodies falls from the sky. It’s a disorienting watch that shows just how easy it is to live with monstrosity, every so often jolting you out of your skin with Mica Levi’s unnerving score.
These soulless PMC Zionist writers are those very same petite bourgeois nazi degenerates

>Jonathan Glazer‘s take on Martin Amis’s 2014 novel is a portrait of hell from the periphery. An S.S. officer (Christian Friedel) and his family live in the housing area surrounding Auschwitz; they throw pool parties and take afternoon tea with friends while chimneys belch black smoke in the distance. Glazer strips away the imagery we now associate with Holocaust dramas and puts his high-formalism style to perfect use, presenting an absolutely chilling look at how normalization works — at some point, you simply stop hearing the barking dogs, gunshots, and human suffering happening right outside your own backyard. This is what the banality around the banality of evil looks like. And Sandra Hüller, playing the officer’s raging wife, once again convinces you that she’s one of the most fearless international actors working today.
fearless international liberal Zionist puppet, maybe

I watched Black Dog, a 2024 Chinese film directed by Guan Hu. I don't have much to say about it except that it's a beautiful film. Lots of beautiful shots of the Gobi desert and the rural town in which the plot takes place. The film is very melancholy. Focusing on the people on the fringes of a booming society. Whom prosperity has not yet reached. Their struggles, thoughts, and interpersonal problems. And how they overcome them together as best they can. It kinda drags toward the end. Buy anyway, I recommend it.

Yes.

>Ward is liberal
Wildbow predicted the rise of "titans" who cause the foundations of the world order to crack

Worm was a story about the collapse of liberalism into neofeudalism, as seen in Hurricane Katrina. Its sequel Ward is about how these inhuman tech oligarchs like Elon Musk are far above normal bourgeoisie, just as Porky capitalists are above workers. That's why Glory Girl is so triggered by the idea of titans being way stronger than her where regular people are like "lol its just Thursday for us, relax". This accelerationism trend of wealth accumulation towards the ultra powerful makes the "petite" bourgeois class very offended by the idea that Elon Musk has exponentially more hegemony than they ever will. Taking control over the firmament on which we all stand isn't fair!!!

there anything sketchy about the UN doing all this? seems too good to be true

Perfect

Alright long story short, I used to be poor but rented a space with some gardenspace which was cool.

I moved and had to give that up (which really kinda depressed me) but now I have an easy, good paying job right now. I'm just planning to save some money and buy a field somewhere where I can put a small enough living space (or with a few people). With some luck I can turn this in a fully remote job too.

I'll love this thread. I used to work for am organic farm. It was pretty cool but I couldn't keep working there, also I want to go further.

Thank you for reading my blogpost.

The UN sometimes does good things. Not everything about it is the security council. They probably are taking advantage of the situation somehow but it's still good to slow down desertification.

>>46171
Thank you for writing it. Good luck on turning it into a remote job and getting the field.

>>46071
>there anything sketchy about the UN doing all this? seems too good to be true
there's nothing sus about it, they're just forced to respond to China's publicized success in reversing desertification. Some Western countries were forced to give their populations some succdem healthcare during the cold war because the USSR was doing it. Now China's advances in greening deserts is forcing the UN to finally follow some good policies.

Fried soup sounds kinda sick tbh
Like I'm imagining beef stew or chicken noodle soop but even more savory and thick

anons when the brine in a jar of pickles or olives turns yellow does that mean it's gone bad?

My sister just taught me an easy recipe for a greek yogurt dough pizza, which is perfect for me since I normally hate baking.
1 cup greek yogurt
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1)Mix in bowl for a little while with a spoon, once it's more of a stable dough, switch to mixing it with your hand, rolling the dough around the bowl.

2)Dust the table or other surface you'll manipulate the dough on with flour, take the dough out of the mixing bowl and put it on the surface. Gently push down on the dough ball with your hands, but don't pull it. Once you've pushed the dough down, dust a rolling pin with flour and roll out the dough. Once flat, crimp the sides of the dough to make a crust.
3)Lightly oil or apply parchment paper to a baking pan, transfer the flattened dough to the pan and add your tomato sauce and toppings. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F) or 200 (C). Insert the baking pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, then rotate the pizza 180 degrees and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
This feeds one person if you're very hungry.

Bulk ordering directly from farms is a kind of anti-consumerist socialism, I guess? Its probably better quality but you need a big freezer or lots of friends to share with

This was nice thank you

Also this human domestication world is fascinating it is drawing me in

That sounds like the idea of socialism and outsider has plus I released I need to clarify something: I mean a socialist hero as a hero who is the product of a socialist society and not a hero who promotes socialism. That is the comparison that podcast about Santa with Muscles gave me.

I won't dump the lore on you, but the Kaiserreich example WAS framed as "what kind of superheroes would the comics scene in a socialist USA produce?" and that was the most upvoted answer.

you have no idea how hard this guy fell off after 2015

The biggest PEAK of Latinx American comics? I mean, what's the competition? Mafalda and CUCKdorito?

https://cosmonautmag.com/2023/01/from-champion-of-the-oppressed-to-truth-justice-and-the-american-way-who-took-the-socialism-out-of-superman/
Can commies reclaim Superman or is he forever destined to be an AmeriKKKan propaganda mouthpiece?

>>46370
Mafalda is Peak tho.

>>46376
I think about this a lot. There's some Alex Ross comic where superman tries to fix the world or some shit. He tries to bring food to starving Africans and of course the evil dictator blows it up, and supes has a cry about it. Then I think about the scene in Marvelman where Marvs tells all the world leaders that we're doing socialism now. Margaret Thatcher tries to tell him no, and he basically tells her "I'm not asking" and glares at her so hard it damn near kills her.

This is what the kids call ragebaiting

I thought this was a very long music video for a tracklist made by a hipster millenial, like the movie holds the audience in such contempt that the parts that were obviously meant to be quiet have blaring post punk or whatever sounding in the background in case you get distracted and feel tempted to look at your phone, and that detracts from what would otherwise be more poignant scenes. Yes I want my coming-of-age subtext movies where people walk from point A to point B to be more meditative instead of glorified tiktok fan edit shit going on while a child internalizes the meaning of death or whatever

"8/10" -IGN

Young Fathers did a based job with the soundtrack but there were parts in the first half where it felt much more like a music video than a film
