I got like bronchitis or something and man is it beating me down hard. I was better for a day or two but it RKO'd me outta nowhere again. Feels like inhaling glass shards.
So the DPRK's football team qualified for the second round of World Cup qualifiers for Asia after finishing second in their group. Japan finished 1st, DPRK 2nd, Syria 3rd and Myanmar 4th. It would be really cool if they managed to reach the world cup.
DPRK has actually done quite well historically in the world cup right? Correct me if I'm wrong but both Koreas have actually made it all the way to the quarter finals at some point if I remember correctly.
Palestine also finished second in their group so they also progresses to the next round
I am too mature and principled to be fooled by bread and circuses

Never understood people's obsession with cars being freedom. I take the bus to work sometimes. I get on the bus which stops nearly at my front door, sit down and look outside, and get off in front of my work. Zero effort required from my part. Investing in public transport is investing in freedom.
I suppose it depends on how good your public transport is. I wasn't quite so lucky when I had long commutes a few years back. 15 minute bus, 10 minute walk, 30 minute train, 15 minute walk, and the same thing in reverse getting home. Usually in the mornings without any space to actually sit at any point in the trip. Sure did wish I had a car at the time, lmao.
im anxious around people and feel constantly on edge or potentially threatened even when others are kind and flash a smile.
having a space where i can be certain things are where i expect them and when im looking for stuff i dont need to keep up appearances...
It's a myopic view that is held mostly by people living in areas where public transportation is non existent and cars are the only means to get around. Either that or a city bloke who is rich and doesn't want to mingle with the rabble.
3 body problem netflix adaptation boils down to "the West saves earth from the consequences of chinese communism".
From what ive read online, the story in the books mainly happens in China (in the adaptation the good stuff happens in terf island, except for the bad stuff which is left as it happens in the books, in China of course), and China and the west join forces to fight the turncoats. In the netflix adaptation, the chinese turncoat defects to the UK and its some english aristocrat ghoul bossing everyone to fight her society.
Which leads me to ask, if you're moving the story from China to terf island, why keep the cultural revolution stuff? Its such a shameless anti-china propaganda lmao
Terf island sounds like what a really successful cultural revolution would look like, so it kinda fits.
Dying for EUROs and then Copa America to start, need my football fix. Friendlies and Brazilian league not enough to take the edge off
Same, especially since I didn't watch the last WC. I need my international tournaments man. As long as England doesn't win, that is.
England winning would be a disaster we would never hear the end of it.
One of my favorite EURO memories was watching them lose to Iceland in I think 2016 in a bar packed full of englishmen in downtown Toronto. Barely got out of their alive, hoping for more of the same this year
I wore a union sweater to work today as it is comfy and warm and someone in the bus greeted me very kindly because of it
I don’t know where else to post this so it’s going here! I love seeing Dr. Katchanovski go off on Twitter. He’s usually pretty tame but sometimes he’ll let loose a little (especially people he retweets lol):
Big

why is r/librandu like this?
Looking at the source about Uyghurs, VICE again? is this believable?
Is librandu even leftist? I checked it years ago but it seems anti-BJP at best.

If there's no peace talks yet, I hope Russia advances quickly. I'm kinda frustrated with the slow speed of their advances. I just feel like there's not much time left before the west will escalate even further, and it would be good if Russia gained more ground so they can protect themselves better
You may need to brace yourself for disappointment. Peace talks are not happening and i see nothing that would indicate that Russia views this the way that you do. They seem to regard territorial gains as an afterthought at the moment to their strategy of attrition. Nothing about this has changed for well over a year now and i don't expect any big surprises. Just more of the same slow and steady grinding.
I think that Russia considers that time is on its side and that it is in no hurry whatsoever as far as Ukraine is concerned. Putin basically said as much in a recent conversation with international reporters at the St Petersburg Economic Forum. I don't have the exact quote on hand, but paraphrasing it was something like "yes we could go faster but at the cost of greater losses which we do not want".
They have also consistently maintained that no additional mobilization will occur, which means that the pace of advance will continue to be limited by the rather modest (compared to what Russia could deploy if it wanted to) size of the force they have dedicated to this conflict. Furthermore, the appointment of a civilian economic administrator to the post of defense minister indicates that they want to prioritize a healthy civilian economy that is not overly skewed toward the military side.
All of these are indications that they are pursuing a strategy not centered around immediate military gains but around long term economic and social stability, even at the cost of a slower resolution to the Ukraine conflict, particularly since they seem convinced that the longer it goes on the weaker the West gets and the worse the global crisis of the US empire will become.
Edit: I have to add a caveat which is that of course all of what i said is contingent on there being no sudden, unexpected developments on the Ukrainian side such as a major political crisis in the Kiev junta or a sudden collapse of the front due to attrition of trained manpower, equipment shortages, demoralization, etc.
All you said was true, I know this is a war on attrition, but I also want the Donbas to be fully liberated so they are not on the direct frontline if shit really hits the fan
Got banned on reddit again for wishing an American soldier gets cheated on by his wife and his knees to be blown up by an IED
Sexing with soldiers wives/husbands is praxis
Oh man there was a really funny post back on r/cth from some guy absolutely roasting some chud soldiers with "I fucked your wife" jokes wish I could remember it, was funny as fuck.
That's just praxis. Keep it up comrade.
Liberal snowflakes can't take a joke (not joke) these days smh
Saw someone from my school earlier who was pro-palestine post something about the Xinjiang Genocide on her instagram story. It was pretty much just an afterthought in a list of modern genocides (most of which I presume were real), but still.
I hate the west for poisoning the youth.
:( unfortunately the “uyghur genocide” narrative seems to be more ingrained into people’s minds because of how anti-china the west is and because there’s hardly any widely known accurate information about it
One battle won, one battle to win I guess
We even have people like that in our party. As long as they can be right on a lot of thing then there is room for them to have the occasional wrong take. The Western propaganda machine is enormous after all, and we need to keep educating.
In the Palestine group chat for the local Uni protest I once saw some person saying that they didn't want to buy a keffiyeh made in China because of the Uyghurs.
