They forgot to post the Iranian miniskirt photo oh no.

Nice. Hope things are going well for you. A piece of unsolicited advice, try to have a maintenance plan for the later months. It gets easier as you go, but alcohol is a uniquely tricky substance to stay off.

 

Sorry if this isn't the right community for this. I've noticed that this is especially prevalent amongst Palestinian musicians. Example. How exactly would I pronounce song 10 "She2 Wa7ad" in this instance?

Does anyone have the full video?

Sort by "under $5" and grab anything you recognize.

Massie honestly has one of the better foreign policy records of anyone in congress. He's a horrible piece of shit on everything else, but this one misses the mark I think.

Probably not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but Emma Goldman's Anarchism and Other Essays is still a real treat to read. It's short and punchy in a way that I think a lot of Marxists really struggle with. Probably skip the last chapter unless you really want a critique of 19th century media.

Insert "google.com##.hdzaWe" as a custom filter into ublock origin and AI results largely disappear. It also seems to cripple loading youtube comments for some reason, but you have options if you want.

You should watch s1 before getting any further. True surrealist art.

Why are you posting here if you think Xi is fascist?

Started the campaign for Battlefield 1 yesterday, and its pretty OK. I remembered really liking Battlefield Vietnam when I was a kid, so its a bit of a let down. I was expecting far more cinematic scenes with how heavily they marketed it when it came out. My experience so far has been Shoot > wait in a single spot > get out and fix vehicle > Wait. I don't know if I'll ever like a bigger shooter as much as I liked the original Modern Warfare 2.

Luckily, it seems like its pretty short which will let me turn my attention back to XCOM Enemy Unknown when I finish it.

We will meet tonight on xMage. Discord for those that haven't joined yet: https://discord.gg/RVUKxUrPPU . Pauper format this week and the next. Be sure to download your cards ahead of time, because it takes awhile. We will be using Room-names with Hexbear in the title, so feel free to jump in whatever room is empty when the time comes.


In depth guide on how to set up xMage if you haven't yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0yX1ybtvHc&t=2s

 

Results are in, and it looks like we will be doing a weekly MTG night starting next Monday. I'm thinking 7:00 PM CST, but we can adjust exact times if needed. Commander got a little bit of pushback in the original thread, so I'm thinking we might start with Pauper then switch to draft in a couple weeks (Commander can come a bit later). Organization will be primarily done through Discord, but I'll still post updates here as needed. We will be using xMage which you can find here. 1v1s for now, but we can always do a 3-way if we get an odd number of people.

I'm going to run a tokens deck, and I look forward to seeing what y'all bring!

 

I feel vindicated. What I have now in my possession took me 8 fucking years to get. It's not the typical shit that you hear from people who claim to be Gangstalked (EG: People are making hand signals at me, there's a lot of red cars around me, etc.) 2.5 hours of pure unadulterated abuse. The kind of shit you'd hear said in a blacksite. Going through it again to verify that I'm not just hearing things was especially hard, but I finally have it. It's absolutely pure arrogance on their part as well because they dug around in my backpack for my voice recorder and acknowledged that there's "a lot of evidence on there", and then kept abusing me.

8 years of my life people called me crazy because I gave up on trying to gather evidence for the longest time. Now I have it. I don't really want to say too much more because I am going to have to start legal proceedings soon, but I just wanted to let you know about one of the small victories that fell into my lap.

 

It's set in the style of a cinematic movie trailer, with a ton of glossy stock nature shots. It has (I think) AI Morgan Freeman as the voiceover. It's about 2 minutes long, and the punch line is something along the lines of "...it all depended on one fact, that he was gay and chinese". It got posted on /r/chapotraphouse a long time ago, and I haven' been able to find it since.

 

He'd win too. Why stop at being the head of a genocidal client state, when he can be the big dog?

 

Just saved myself a few hours with that one.

 

I feel like I've heard quite a bit about Burkina Faso, Lamumba, and Egypt, but never anything about Ethiopia or Eritrea. What's a good place to start learning a bit more about these extremely large countries? I feel like most people memory hole these places like they do with Laos.

 

This seems like an early version of Russiagate that I just missed.

 

Songs, albums, or EPs, I want to hear them!

 

Freddy Todd dropping heat.

 

It has to be some sort of put on, right?
