    No such thing 😁

  • Why is this being sold on *votegearoutlet*
  • It comes from talking about food: "I know a basket of wings hates to see me coming (because I'm going to eat them all)".

    It makes less sense here, but the implication is that the wearer is going to engage in fellatio.

  • Is becoming an HGV driver a good idea?
  • Idk, I'd go for it if you're comfortable driving trucks. Do they offer jobs where you sleep in the truck? That's a thing here. You might be able to do that and save a bit on room and board.

    I think it's worth planning on when and how you get out? I've heard a life of trucking can be really hard on your body. It'd suck to get trapped in the golden cage of decent pay. Getting a house and finishing the degree are good ideas!

  • Hot Take: it's actually a good thing that AES states don't allow evangelical proselytising
  • I may be poorly informed, but I broadly agree with this. Maybe the cultural revolution had excesses, but it's a good thing that it happened.

  • You might assume that the Savior of Humanity would let things cool down after that "Hitler was just a smol bean that accidentally did a smol Holocaust" take but here's his next take already.
  • I think that's kind of the point, right? That McCarthy shows this "barbaric" scene towards the beginning, and then shows the supposedly "civilized" people act far worse. Like, no wonder the Comanche did what they did!

  • Should airliners be forced to fly through war zones?
  • To be anti-zionist would be to deny that large state of Isra*l should exist, right? I genuinely do not think there are any anti-zionists in office in the U$.

    Say what you will about Trots, those folks can print books

    I'm reading a copy of Che's Bolivian Diary printed by Pathfinder. It's got a lot of really great supplemental information in it.

    Would you share the Chronicles of Narnia books with your kids?

    I have fond memories of reading them when I was younger, but as I think about introducing them to kids I have some thoughts and issues:

    • The clear colonial bias - Narnia needing white British rulers to thrive.
    • Colorism/Xenophobia/Racism in the Horse and His Boy and The Last Battle.

    Do the benefits of a neat magical fantasy world outweigh the issues? How would you approach it?

    Ancient poetry recommendations - preferably not Greek/Roman

    I recently finished the Epic of Gilgamesh, and I'm starting a collection of poems by Rumi.

    I've previously read Cold Mountain by Han Shan.

    Are there any other ancient poets/poems with published work that you'd recommend?

    I'm looking for things that are:

    • Basically as old as possible
    • Poetic/mystic
    • Not Christian (or Western, Greek, or Roman).

    Thanks!

    Just finished "Yellow face" by R.F. Kuang

    It was a really good read. The main character is a such a breathtakingly massive hater.

    Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe - What did you think of it?

    I just finished it today. It was very interesting to read of the lives and traditions of the Ibo people, and it was very sad to see them begin to be destroyed by the colonial machine.

    The unrealized potential of Palestinian oil and gas reserves
    unctad.org The unrealized potential of Palestinian oil and gas reserves

    Geologists and resources economists have confirmed that the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) lies above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth, in Area C of the West Bank and the Mediterranean coast off the Gaza Strip, according to a recent UNCTAD study.

    An old article, but context I didn't know.

    Excerpts from Wretched of the Earth: Chapter 1

    >"He of whom they have never stopped saying that the only language he understands is that of force, decides to give utterance by force. In fact, as always, the settler has shown him the way he should take if he is to become free. The argument the native chooses has been furnished by the settler, and by an ironic turning of the tables it is the native who now affirms that the colonialist understands nothing but force."

    (speculation) Is there any way a state-level actor can fight a nuclear armed state-level actor without risking being nuked? How?

    There's clearly something about to happen in Western Asia, this is meant to be a question related to the situation, but mostly a place for speculation.

    Is there a way that Iran can aid Hamas without a risk of being nuked? Is it easier for Hezbollah as they aren't exactly a country in their own right?

    Is the only way to engage a nuclear-armed state guerilla war waged by internal dissidents?

    We believe that the Anarchists are real enemies of Marxism. Accordingly, we also hold that a real struggle must be waged against real enemies
