Actually, what do we think about this guy? I haven't sit down to listen to any of his lectures yet, but for some reason some terminally-online people in Brazil wouldn't shut up about him a couple weeks ago and now he keeps popping up everywhere. Why does the YT algo love him so much?

Allow me to lib out for a second here and make two linked observations here:

1 - The last "legal" war started by the US was in 1942, meaning that's the last time a sitting US president had Congress approval for a formal declaration of war. Everything else since then has been illegal, not that it matters in the slightly.

2 - Despite point 1, the US still has veto power at the UN Security Council, meaning that they can unilaterally decide to go into just about any conflict, bring any of its allies and cronies into the fray, and shield themselves and their accomplices from any kind of UN sanction over illegal military actions. A country which has launched countless illegal wars in the past seventy years gets to pick who gets reprimanded by the managers of the global "rules-based order".

I know this is not new to anyone here, of course, but I just wanted to take this lib moment to truly appreciate how deeply fucked up all of this truly is. The world is the US's playground, and until the day comes in which a brutal reckoning is visited upon the US and its allies, there can be no semblance of security at a global geopolitical level.

If the Great Satan looks at you and decides you're gonna get got, then you're on your own. Therefore, and I want to believe my lib moment ends here, the first order of business for BRICS going forward is that, if you don't have any nukes yet... it's time to get them.

paging our resident military hardware nerds, what do you think?

Trump saying that Iran's nuclear sites have been "obliterated"

doubt

Also, that's a pretty tall order, to simply say something that can very easily be debunked such as that. Unless the preliminary info from Iran is totally bogus, this seems like a weird way to put it.

US opening with six GBU-57 MOPs and thirty BGM-109 Tomahawks, a military maneuver known in West Point academy lingo as "the US will never have free healthcare"

Simplicius regards Israel to be on what is essentially a genocidal ponzi scheme - you start a conflict, it goes badly, and so to distract from it you start a new conflict, which goes badly, and to distract from that you start a new conflict, which goes badly, and so on. This strange strategy matches the rhetoric of some Zionists which apparently want to go for Qatar, Pakistan, and/or Turkey "after Iran".

Isn't this kind of like what South Africa did close to the end of the apartheid regime? It definitely doesn't bode well for pissrael, and what I think is darkly funny about this is that, the way I see it, this is all actually on Biden. He was the first US president who didn't rein pissrael in when they started to get too genocidal for their own good. If it had been any other president they would've known better than to let the genocidal dog off its leash. Ironically, letting them roam free might have been what led the entity to its own demise, inshallah.

currently recovering from the worst flu I've ever had in my entire life, shit fucking sucks

I'm still on betamethasone, a corticosteroid, and as usual it's driving me a bit loopy... does anybody here also get this effect from corticosteroids? I feel a kind of depersonalization, like I'm detached from my perception, and everything becomes just a bit confusing, it's super fucking weird and it happens every single time I take this kind of drug

 

 

One of the most fascinating videos I've seen in a long time. It's simply mind-blowing how complicated the seemingly simple task of developing a Chinese typewriter actually is, when you think about it. Typewriters are so commonplace in the West that we just kind of take them for granted, but developing a device that can produce tens of thousands of different 汉字 which can mix together elements in varying shapes and sizes is a near-impossible engineering problem.

Also, Jeremy Fielding is a must-follow if you're into engineering, the guy's a bonafide genius, and I just love listening to him speak, he seems like such a cool person.

 

I love this grumpy fat ass dummy

The question is: how do I become a streamer? lmao

I know, I know, but the thing is, I've been teaching English for about ten years now and I'm frankly getting tired of the grind, waking up early as shit, teaching for six to nine hours each day and all that. I make good money, but I get the feeling that the real big money is in doing online stuff. Selling courses, making content, that kind of stuff.

My idea for a channel or twitch stream or whatever would be me playing games and then commenting on interesting aspects of the stuff characters are saying in the games. Some of the streams would be Q&As, some straight-up lessons on specific topics, maybe some streams dedicated to other stuff like films and TV shows. You get the idea.

The thing is, I don't even know where to start. I'm familiar with OBS, I have a good camera and mic setup that I already use for my online lessons, but I don't know where to start in terms of platforms, streamers to use as references and what I should expect from the process of cultivating an audience.

What do you folks think? Where should I begin?

Brazil's favorite Papa Nurgle daemonhost is at it again, folks.

I kindly request that you send my country your best thoughts and prayers. This time he was saved by SAMU, our free and public emergency healthcare service created by... Lula.

lol, lmao even

I challenge you not to tap your foot as you listen to this absolute banger

Also, it caused a bit of a stir way back in the 1910s, when the first lady played it at a social event, per Wikipedia:

The song caused a minor scandal when the First Lady of Brazil, Nair de Teffé, performed it on guitar in public in 1914.[1][3] Catulo da Paixão Cearense's interpretations were successful and, in 1914, they encouraged Nair de Tefé to organize a recital to launch Corta Jaca, although Nair knew Chiquinha's songs, they never met in person. There were criticisms of the government and resounding comments about the "scandals" in the palace for promoting and disseminating songs whose origins were in lewd and vulgar dances, according to the conception of the social elite.[5]

 

I didn't get to play it in the dream, but I spent my morning thinking about what exactly the rules and gameplay would be like
