What book is it? How is it? Is it just a typical true crime thing

I like the one about the Nova Scotia shooter. Dude lived next to a cartel member named Peter Griffin. He was also a government informant because he had access money to a bank exclusively for police informants.

Vietnamese coffee is good. It’s the only type I drink. Iced, of course.

And lol. They don’t even talk about the exploitation or what happened during the Vietnam war that led to a struggling economy afterwards. I did not see your CW but now I know :pain:

yeah he did. all of these charges and sentences and he's magically outside and not in prison lol. I'm just baffled by how he's not shot yet

The sex involves her parading you around the house while naked with insults written on your body and she’s screaming at you for being a right opportunist

Maybe if we arm the students then we’d get the shooter next time.

 

So much for good guy with a gun

It is kinda subverted in Death Note.

Two Machiavellian rivals team up together and on the surface they’re chasing another enemy, but in reality they both know that it’s all a farce and they’re both the real enemy. Light infiltrates an investigation on him with fake friendship but real ego :keikaku:

When they find out who Light was and what he did, one of his own ‘friends’ immediately killed him

At one point, Puyi was taken to Harbin and Pingfang to see where the infamous Unit 731, the chemical and biological warfare unit in the Japanese Army, had conducted gruesome experiments on people. Puyi noted in shame and horror: “All the atrocities had been carried out in my name”.

A lot of people may just be psychos and get off to it, but I personally think that during times of war and revolution, in order to rehabilitate someone they have to see the consequences of their actions. Germany still has some sort of national shame over its Nazi history and criminalize its ideology, officially speaking of course. But look at Japan. The emperor still reigns and the imperial era is not that big of a deal, or even a nostalgic period.

Germans - soldiers and civilians - were forced to look upon their or their government’s work. Pictures, written accounts, and even real corpses and survivors (I didn’t even know that they forced the civilians to handle the corpses as well). m It does seem exploitative, but most people only hear about it and the damages can only be imagined. I don’t think the Japanese ever had to do this. I don’t know if it’d effective to beam footage of dead kids from mass shootings onto TV. But I think before any cleanup or investigation is done, politicians and their families need to be forced into the school building to look at the lifeless eyes of each kid they let die for no reason. That’s a start at least.

Collective Physical/financial is wrong, in my opinion. But I think collective traumatization is powerful. In addition to the Germans, look at 9/11 and its effect on society. A few generations later and their offsprings won’t have images of corpses burned in their memories, but the zeitgeist might be strong enough to deter them from emulating the past

Liberals when communists joke about killing a Russian monarch :NOOOOO:

Liberals when they see a Russian child crossing the street :unsure:

Monroe Doctrine and its consequences

Various CIA operations and planned operations that involved US citizens/US soil (Northwoods, drug trafficking, MKULTRA, and human experimentation in general - it goes beyond LSD)

Cuba’s MODERN literacy program and how it compares to western/capitalist programs (Cuba’s programs are being used by tens of millions of underserved people)

Superimperialism - how the US got off the gold standard and dominated the world with less overt war

Strategy of tension, GLADIO, blowback

The history of industrialization and capitalism. You can probably sneak in a little about how it’s time to find an “alternative”

Shock doctrine is post-communist states around the world

The Warlord Era of china (this one is wild)

China was a day ahead of us and didn’t warn us that 9/11 would happen

 

From my limited research and understanding, Nvidia makes Linux drivers, but they’re closed source. These work fine. They open sourced some stuff but not enough to really change much yet.

There are also FOSS drivers, but the performance for those vary.

Is this correct? Should I stick to proprietary drivers if I want consistent performance?

 

Weird how this keeps happening every time the US has a not-a-war-conflict with other countries

👴🏻 this young man is so articulate!

 

In today’s homily, the priest went on about how people who commit terrorism and murder don’t have the holy spirit to guide them, and we should be thankful that we have the holy spirit to guide us, otherwise we would murder someone too. Lol

Not trying to clown on anyone or anything. It’s just that I’m watching a dance game show right now and I’m just :jesse-wtf: the whole time. It’s like this for every time I see dancing. I get it’s fun and could be impressive but… I just don’t get it :duck-dance:
