110% difficulty strikes again

 

They seem to have unlisted most of their Chapo clips. Really liked their reading series playlist.

My guess is it must be happening to an extent considering the difficulty in enforcing labour codes in a country of 2bil people. But there’s no evidence of systemic use of child labour the way it used to occur in, say, Victorian England.

I feel like his solo podcasts aren’t all that bad. Gets straight to the topic at hand without any meandering. Some of the guests he platforms and his appearances in other media, though, tend to brush up against manosphere territory.

Wish we didn't have to roll the dice for access to decent mental healthcare. Glad you managed to luck out!

AFAIK, the use of Bharat is considered to be a form linguistic imperialism foisted by the plains-dwellers upon the rest of the country.

It's Philosophy Tube! Rather, a bit about a snooty brit being condescending towards Chinese philosophy in Philosophy Tube's video about Confucius.

Can't say I'm surprised. Just a horde of cut-throat individualists in tech, it's a miracle they even reached 1400 members.

 

There was this huge hullabaloo about Google employees forming a union, but I'm assuming that went nowhere considering how ruthless the company was with it's layoffs. Anyone got the full scoop?

Tell me about it, I've just finished taking the crippling social anxiety, to liberating alcohol consumption, to crippling alcoholism slip'n slide

 

AFAIK, their war lay primarily in the Pacific, and beyond supporting the Brits and Russians materially, I’m not really sure why the US would want to involve themselves physically in the European theatre. I do feel fear of Germans beating them to the bomb might have something to do with it, but that’s just conjecture.

 
 
  • Panama was a Colombian district until the USA, taking advantage of Colombia's internal strife, orchestrated it's separation in 1903 to facilitate construction of the Panama canal
  • FARC, while officially distancing themselves from all tendencies, were closest to the Maoists in tactics by virtue of the largely agrarian nature of the Colombian economy
  • the ELN, another armed revolutionary group, are largely Catholic and seem to practice some form of revolutionary theology (this one took me by surprise; I would've never associated Catholicism with revolutionary mindset)
  • Yair Klein, an Israeli mercenary (seems redundant), played a major part in the training of right-wing death squads who were responsible for a wide variety of atrocities from assassinations to large-scale massacres (even academics/teachers were not spared since they formed such a large part of Colombia's unionized workforce)
  • Book Recommendation: Full Spectrum Disorder: The Military in the New American Century; a US veteran's memoir with a critical view on the US's imperial ambitions that also covers their interests in Colombia

Some unrelated things that I found interesting:

  • Alexei Nalvany, the Russian opposition leader and darling of liberals everywhere, was a key ally to Russia's anti-immigration and skinhead elements
  • The American Civil War saw the use of IEDs in the form of booby-trapped artillery shells by the Confederates (this apparently made Sherman pretty mad)
 

Brightline supposedly represents “The Surprising Success of Private Passenger Rail”

 

The ones I got off of RARBG seem exceptionally poorly seeded.

 

Are there Black Wolf equivalents for Blowback, WTYP, Kill James Bond etc?

 

I legit thought it was theory but google just drowned me in a deluge of memes

 

I like solo play, was wondering if I can spice things up by throwing an LLM in the mix. The way I tried currently becomes messy real soon, so I was wondering if someone who's successfully tried something like this could give me some pointers
