In 8^th^ grade my social studies teacher showed The Notebook to the class to help teach us about WWII. The movie had less than 5 minutes of content about the war; the rest was only tangentially related at best because it was set in that time period.

Like a moment that seemed insignificant and unimportant at the time, but looking back was in fact a pivotal moment in pushing you towards radicalization.

For me probably being introduced to Guitar Hero at my friend's house in like summer 2007. At the time it was just another day, but looking back I ended up falling in love with those games, I ended up being introduced to The Ramones and even more importantly the Dead Kennedys through them, which caused me to get into punk music and resulted in me adopting very critical attitudes towards larger American society, attitudes which later grew into anarchism and then Marxism

Do they use pdf format, or do you have to convert/download a special file type?

Can you browse webpages on them and it renders in digital ink?

I want to read more of the great, freely available content online but I struggle to read on phone or PC (bad screen). Do e-readers help address this?

My neighborhood group chat is incredibly coconut-pilled and I need some agitprop to put on the street, but I am untalented. I have a printer for small stuff and will throw money at a local print shop for bigger things, I just need material to print. Anti-genocide, pro-PSL/Green (I think they're both on the ballot here), whatever you got. The more discomforting for your average lib the better. Lawn signs and shit to hang in the windows would be ideal for the inescapability, but pamphlets are also fine.

for more context: i have to take an exam in 6 months or so. this exam covers around 16 college courses (mostly math and computer science related), has around 120 4-choice questions and 4 hour time to answer, so a little over 2 minutes per question. the questions are around half split between problem solving and memorizing.

for a few of the subjects i probably already know most of their content, and a couple i couldn't understand from the start but the majority of them were ones that i've studied at some point but have forgotten now.

so my question is how the hell can i prepare myself as best as i can in the little time i got? what i need are some resources to help me plan my study sessions and how i would go about studying, and also how to take mock exams from myself. any other tip is also appreciated.

The bourgeoisie are trying to block instances.

What instances are working for you?

Hard mode: the monetization has to be from sales of copies of the game, not from loot boxes, "battle passes," or gacha trash. Chuds will put money into gacha trash no matter what anyway.

I feel I can def pretty accurately tell whether somebody works a tech or some business/finance/marketing/HR job just by the way they speak. Like I talk to them outside of a work context, I make the guess, and then they later reveal what they do and I'm usually right if it's one of those 2 categories

AI stuff has dried up for me, anyone know a way I could make a little over a grand online by month end? I've got plenty of time to throw at whatever is out there.

I literally cannot focus when I'm reading online for some reason + I love looking at my books on my bookshelf, it makes me feel smart

  1. Seventeen Seconds

  2. Faith/ Boys Don't Cry (I know the real first album is 3 Imaginary Boys but the american release swaps out only bad songs for good songs for once)

  3. Pornography

Alternatively, anybody know what the situation is like for disabled people in China? Resources for that would be good to read, too.

Just wanted to see if you all had some thoughts/resources to help explain to a friend that the British medical system's restrictions on youth transitioning are based on a culture of transphobia, not some scientific consensus. The friend in question is, I think, a well-meaning "we should be more like Europe" liberal, and was reading about the UKs treatment of trans youth (namely their restrictions on transitioning) and seemed to think it was based on some level-headed analysis instead of it being TERF Island. I'm trying to educate myself on the whole situation since I've only got a general understanding, so let me know if you have any reading/thoughts and I'll take a look.
