Thank you, comrade. Especially for the addition of checkpoint questions to aid in the reflective part of the educational journey.
I will definitely be using this to add some more discipline to my reading process, once I finish my current book. There are also a few shorter works on this guide that I've already read that I am eager to read again after building a stronger foundation with your recommendations. Keep doing what you're doing, it is really valuable.
I bought a pair of Edifier powered bookshelf speakers (R1280T model, I think) for my living room setup and they work fine for casual TV and movie watching. Cost about $110 total. No subwoofer necessary, but I would add one if I had movie nights with more than just me and my partner (and didn't have downstairs neighbors, lol).
And that pedophile-enabling, genocidal family are all still living as billionaires and influencing global economics and society using this stolen wealth. This is not some story of the past, it is a story that is still ongoing.
Funny how bipartisanship is all of a sudden a thing when the empire needs to feed the war & suffering machine. But when it comes to providing healthcare, housing, basic needs like food and utilities, or civil rights protections to the people, they just can't seem to come to an agreement.
Well, I guess the dems do seem to always supply a few of their own to stand with republicans on those topics, which is just a more subtle form of bipartisanship if you think about it.
Huh, will be interested to try this and see what changes they implemented to 'modernize' it. I used to mod the hell out of Civ3 back in the day, but I also remember the base game being pretty solid.
LMFAO. This meme makes me second-hand embarrassed for Europeans. For 3 reasons.
First, it is politically illiterate and whoever made it is clearly not a serious person.
Second, pretending you're in Star Wars? Really?
Third, you have not and will never be the 'good guys' in any sort of fight, as long as you are a union of capitalist nations still feasting off of the stolen wealth of the global south.
It's about time the 'average American' started questioning what the fuck this system is doing. Many of us have only been trying to show them how messed up it is for the past 250 years or so.
Seriously though, it really is way more tense than I have ever seen it. The kinds of political conversations I am having with neighbors and coworkers are ones that I never would've imagined being able to have even 5 years ago.
After they ban all of the direct, existing investments in Israel, then yes, that would be a next move I would support. Hell, if they just sold (or threatened to sell) a large portion of the US Treasury bonds they hold, I imagine China could really put the screws on both imperialist, settler-colonial projects.
I am not knowledgeable enough to know what the full ripple effects of such a sell off would be, but I imagine China would prefer to coordinate something like that (or wide-reaching sanctions) with other countries, rather than moving unilaterally. But Ra knows the US deserves to be sanctioned into the ground for their actions on the international stage.
Yeah, he's tried some lagers of various origins, and didn't like any of those. He doesn't seem to like IPAs either. Off the top of my head that's all I've "offered" him, aside from the Belgian and trappist ales he loves. Just to be clear, I never let him straight up drink it (no drunk kitties allowed, lol), I only offer him the little bit of residual liquid on the rim of the bottle/glass when I finish. The only exception was the 1 or 2 times I caught him lapping from a full glass back in the day, before I knew better than to keep it out of his reach.
