You’re telling me, man. Almost a complete waste of my time, but I got to goof off in the back with my friend so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Had to read (i.e. skim) this book for an "Asian Perspectives on Environmental Science" class in undergrad. Teacher was wack, only good part was "god is dead and we have killed him".

It’s easy to see this when it’s losers on the internet but I met up with some old friends a few weeks back and we got to talking about politics. I mentioned how I wasn’t voting for Biden, and rattled off a list of heinous things he did, and they remembered (or never heard of) any of it! It really took me aback honestly, I thought they would have paid some more attention.

Ironically, also don't utilize TOO much of the line of credit, either, because that can hurt your credit score.

This is sick as helllllllll

Reading statements like these from politicians in the more generally anti-imperialist countries really just exposes how much of a sheer waste of time US (and western) "politics" is. Absolutely no fucking substance, even from the better orators, compared to something like this, which is clear, concise, sharp, and thought-provoking. The difference is just mind-boggling sometimes.

I definitely remember some Reuters or AP article from like a year ago where they interviewed some Ukrainian soldier with the call sign “Adolf” and he was in the “Spartan Squad” brigade or something. My head was spinning

Disciplining the working class by weaponizing mental health language. Gonna start

Didn't see anyone else post this, but there have been major student-led protests in Bangladesh in recent days. Many student protestors have died, and I've seen reports of state police kidnapping people. The protests stem largely from an employment quota system for veterans of the war with Pakistan and their children (and children's children), and not enough jobs for them all. The state has asked universities to close. Students are aiming for a "complete shutdown" of the country, save for emergency services.

From a comment there:

We are quite lucky that China is so bad at being friendly to its neighbors because we keep shooting ourselves in the foot. No wonder third-world countries see a moral equivalence between our countries: there actually is one.

I'm reeling, these fucking ghouls are so goddamn racist, jesus fucking christ. Saying that under THIS article is fucking unhinged. I know that subreddit is ran by literal feds, but fuck.

China's electric vehicle company BYD has announced they've developed a new hybrid drive train that promises to deliver a 2,000km (1,250 mile) range on a full tank and a full charge. And one of the new sedans they're putting it in will retail for less than $14k.

Catch me in parking lots at 2:30am doing burnouts in my Chinese car for hours on end. Or don't because

if supporting a project that lifts 800M out of extreme poverty is wrong, I don't wanna be right
