Started watching House of the Dragon. I quite like it. Certainly more coherent and suspenseful than GoT was past season 3.

The point is trite, since it's been echoed since the 90s and 00s, and is and was much of Gen X's cultural expression: The choice presented by @peppersky of being a suburbanite robbed of humor and youth, or a manchild, is a form of colonization of the mind via capitalism. Our unique selves buried under consumption of content and fulfilling social roles and goals determined by the capitalist system. (Not that there's anything particularly wrong with either of these choices, but living like this also turns life into a purgatory of repetition and variation. It deprives life of color and purpose that become filled by junk ideology.)

Instead, we should be aspiring to be self-actualized adults with our own individuality and aspiration for life beyond checking milestones or consuming media.

I played Wandersong on Steam this weekend. It is a beautiful and sweet game, I love it.

I really love happy people as presented by the Bard in that game.

For me, the show isn't fun to watch. I liked Jensen Ackles though

I kind of noticed that westerners treat the oppressed as non existent entities, or ghosts.

The inside joke on the banned subreddit was that Citations Needed provided more insightful coverage and analysis of the world as it was to nascent and literate people discovering leftist critique of the world. The joke was about what Citations Needed was not. It was not exciting, irreverent, mockery of politics and media but coherent and thorough assessment and dissection of media, politics, power, and the history of bullshit.

I don't see the purpose of asking this question when Israel is still extant and capable of surviving while Palestine burns. Israel hasn't surrendered because they can do this attrition warfare longer than Gaza can hold out, despite any gains or advantages Ansrallah and Hezbollah have over Israel at the moment. Israel and the US are both willing to escalate in calculated and measured ways.

Considering that Jewish Israelis are 70% of the population, it's likely that they will stay in the long term. Before Oct 7th, there was already a sort of exodus of Israelis to Europe/US because of lack of economic opportunity, high rents, low wages; reasons people leave their country as it is. Israel is not really stable without US support.

I suspect the numbers are ages of persons.

Years prior to this incident, the man who has now been identified as Frederik Christiensen-Glücksburg, had been arrested for kicking down his brother's Lego castle.

 

I know it's a bit of a PoliSci 200+ question, but I am curious as to how their family has been able to rule for what is approaching to be a century.

 

I read the book as a teenager but seeing it in live-action was brutal. You forget that soldiers used gas and fucking flamethrowers on people, and they did it so their ruling class can get even wealthier.

Remembering that the causes of that war were about European empires trying to carve up Germany because capital had reached its zenith under the pre-war status quo unless it acquired new markets and territories to expand into was just eye-opening.
