Stalin wasn't even particularly massive, except massively based

Don't forget West Germany creation and nazification.

You probably don't speak Polish but in case someone who do would need similar recommendation i will drop this here:

Witold Rodziński, "Historia Chin", wyd. Ossolineum 1974 is easily the best book in Polish about this topic, it covers period from Shang kingdom to 1919. Unfortunately, since it's a book from 70's it does not include all the Chinese archeological boom from last few decades. It's also use the awkward Wade-Giles transcription. But all other publications about Chinese history in Polish i seen only briefly skim the antiquity and medieval times to quickly arrive and bash the PRC in unending litanies of manufactured atrocities (well almost all, books by Maciej Kuczyński about ancient history of China are surprisingly good, especially despite the author is rightwinger).

Yes but you intentionally suck, otherwise you would just train for thousands more hours. Or be born with more talent. /s

It always bewildered me about english language that every creation is called "art". In Polish art is "sztuka" which word have quite many meanings, but the most relevant is "a field of artistic activity distinguished by the aesthetic values ​​it represents", of which common understanding is that it have to actually represent some aesthetic values. This of course cause unending discussions about what is art and the subjectivity of it to the point of the adage "art is in the eye of beholder" became universally accepted.

I think while the results speak for themselves, he got lucky.

It was a leap of faith and incredible trust in the future generations. If that went as market reforms did elswhere we would be now cursing him as second Gorbachev (or Gorbachev as second Deng). And the world could be as well completely doomed with no socialist China.

AI art is stealing even less than piracy is. If copying a digital movie without paying for it isn’t stealing than how is generating a digital image based on thousands of digital images?

Humans also do it all the time, going onboard with the IP mafia on AI it's like if every even vaguely impressionist painting author needed to pay royalties to Claude Monet or if every conventional fantasy author had to do it for Tolkien, except Tolkien also got his inspirations from previous works so i guess whomever is the lawful inheritors of Snorri Sturlusson and Elias Lonnrot suddenly become very rich, except that they also compiled their works based on... and so on and on and on

Intellectual property is a bad thing.

Even if we ignore every other impact of IP, it was historically always used by publishing industry against the individual artist.

No reason to worry, it will do precisely what it is supposed to do - transfer few trillion of tax dollars into MIC pockets.

had been collected by a Chinese submarine.

Critical support for Chinese submarine collecting Australian PM's, but they need to do it more to be counted as proper collection hobby.

Retvrn to tradition

Out of serious things, war against Iran in 2019. I mean he was escalating in it first place and probably kicking and screaming when Pentagon people explained it's not a good idea when Iranian air defense shot their 200million stealth drone with 60's Soviet missile, but he did. He also ordered Soleimani murder to have the last word later. Also Bolton accused him of being way less hawkish and having more common sense than average Rep senator, but that says more about Rep senators than Trump.

Line goes down

Make a human sacrifice of random innocent people

Cult of Mammon in full swing

There was also cutting off Liet Kynes as black woman from the covers of Dune, which i can confirm really happened, but in Poland.

Estonian with German name? Zero surprise here except why she isn't at White Sea, wtf Stalin?

A frivolous little project

It needs to be built

I noticed that somehow all of the "what if" good scenarios in central Europe always ultimately coming back to Premysl Ottokar II not losing.

Slovakia is rehabilitating itself lately, but agree about Austria, especially with Hungary distant gott erhalte singing in the background

Hiding famine and repression victims of course. Go and see the wikipedia victim counts for Mao period, you will see completely wild differences in estimated victims numbers like 500% or so. It was really caused by those people never existing because of botched censuses in 30's and 40's plus albo because black book-like statistical methodology used by western propaganda, but that explanation is unaceptable to sinophobes so i guess they continued to count next neverborn generations since the 40's and voila.

It's inevitable with such concentration:

It's counted along the Kupa, Sava and Danube rivers, and the Trieste and even Slovenia are excluded. Same with half of Serbia and Croatia. Romania is in a small Dobruja part that is south of Danube. But i guess Balkans are some kind of stigma forever branding everything touching it as Balkans. Poland avoided it narrowly by letting go of the southern ambitions lol.
