Interersting

Punch a hole into the drywall

From behind, slapping aplunger on that bald ass head so I can pull

chatGPT interruptions

That's the reaction I am going to have when you set the AC to 65 degrees

#c 23 C to fahrenheit (73.4 °f (degrees fahrenheit))

Okay I keep it at 72 normally

I literally walk around my apartment naked

The feeling of peering out the blinds with your cock out cannot be replicated inorganically

That makes it sound like I am masturbating, but no, this is not sexual

idk it's just fun

The issue is that my apartment

You can like literally see into the windows if the blinds are up

I know for a fact that I have flashed accidentally to literally the entire neighborhood before

It's okay though

It's been so long since I shaved, I forgot how nice it feels to be smooth

It's okay if you have a good razor

it just takes forever

But you can legit just set up a video to play and watch while you do it

This is me fr fr

short term overestimated long term underestimated

idk it just seems like they don't really have a money making scheme for it

insane PE ratios, not much earnings, but obscene amounts dumped into it

The thing is that tech lucked out in the last major contraction, they benefited from covid instead of eating it like the rest so their blitzscaling and over such strategies didn't backfire as hard as they would have, and now we have the "never regulate anything ever" party in charge that is going to never regulate anything ever or apply adequate punishment to blatant infractions

Everyone can see the bubble and everybody knows it's there, but there's so much greed and faith in some sort of momentum that they'll crack the AI code and find a way to turn over obscene revenue

Eh... if it implodes, not my problem

I think something with such insane environmental externalities (without even getting into the moral stuff) should have more oversight and not literal multimillion dollar tax breaks every 5 minutes

I don't mind the industry existing, but the industry exists for its own sake. The government is allergic to doing things with public investment in public research, so instead we give endless subsidies and tax breaks to complete clowns to idk make jobs or smthn

I am just looking at the amount of incentives my governor offered facebook to build their facility here... it's like... wow good job bro, you managed to entice facebook to come. Except, Lousiana is a shithole, any educated person this employs is going to be moving here, not coming from the communities where this is located, and this entire industry will turn over a big fat 0 in tax revenue to improve the state, meanwhile we all have to pay for this facility that consumes like 5 times as much electricity as the city of New Orleans. Thanks

This is also the governor that made his name forcing my college to end a bunch of covid lockdowns (which we had like to repeat over and over again because they'd end them way too early, infections would shoot up, and surprise now we have to lockdown again) as well as forcing the school to parade a tiger at a football game. LSU told him to pound sand when he wanted to use the ones they have as part of their program, so he went to a fucking exotic animal keeping gas station for it.

He is absolutely deranged, yes

he also joined RFK jr in signing a bill about processed foods or something (half the state is nicknamed cancer alley because of the chemical industry here that is woefully under regulated and undertaxed)

>During the ceremony, Landry also signed a letter to the Trump administration requesting a federal waiver to restrict SNAP recipients in Louisiana from using benefits to purchase unhealthy foods.

I am mentally healthy and have zero issues

Oh yeah, he also implemented a flat tax and in order to cover it jacked up sales taxes and STILL ran a deficit. Yes, Louisiana is a hellhole

We are basically a third world country

Oh no, Louisiana takes it to a different level. As much as I despise Greg Abbott in Texas, he is at the very least competent administratively, he's just also an evil jackass. Landry is genuinely a bonafide retard

There are states with competent leadership and places that are nice to live, but Louisiana's government is hellbent on turning the state into a shithole

Oh, he also ended a spoils system regulation. Basically in ye olde days of Huey P. Long, there was the spoils system where the governor would basically just give money and contracts to his supporters, so the state had to implement restrictions on it. Which Landry is now trying to overturn.

Like legit it used to be that the winner would just straight up fire every single government employee and replace it with their own cronies, like shamelessly gutting everything and dividing up the spoils. So we had a constitutional amendment added that protected civil workers from getting gutted. Of course, Landry wanted to remove that because something something government bad something something he's a republican so no shit he hates government workers, but he clearly wanted to try to bring back spoils system stuff

I wonder if there are still Republicans that deny that Trump is adhering to the Project 2025 stuff left

God I hate the media in this country to for being party in this

Bring me back Joe Biden please Joe Biden..... you have abandon us Joe Biden

I need you Biden please I stood by you!!!

Nothing is more depressing than seeing the voodoo magic insanity the Biden admin had to pull to keep the entire economy from competely crashing just for Trump to implode it within five minutes and everybody just.... not even knowing or caring or understanding

FUCK it pisses me off just thinking about it

It's just like... there's no reason for it. We went through the big event, we went through a plague and the worst that happened was everybody got shitloads of money to stay home and there was some inflation. Compared to historical plagues, this is like... insanely good. We got the vaccine we got it all, then we see how ineffective Russia is in Ukraine, etc. and this should be like "wow the system we have in place is pretty good" moment for anybody... but no, we need to throw it all away because like brown people or something.

So I don't get to experience a country that could make a vaccine in a few months and absolute churn it out well beyond expectations because people are fucking retarded and want to work in coal mines or something

It's so naked too, God the fucking whole thing. You know the big cuts to Medicare come *after* midterms so they can blame dems, the whole scheme of "no tax on tips" (essentially directly trying to peel tipped workers to the Republicans while screwing over any low income workers that aren't tipped) it's just the most blatant partisan BS and insanity

God I don't even want to think about it... I want Biden back. Deep STATE PLEASE I NEED YOU

True, but I am also very tired of having to tell every single person I know that like.... I have had to defend Zohran Mamdani from center left people, Biden from far left people, I am like please can we stop sharpening knives to plunge into our ally's back please

I don't care who gets put up, you know, I am not a Mamdani fan, but I'll put my life down for him if he actually has a chance. Just I hate that you have absolute ideological loyalty on one side, then the other is just constantly obsessed with murdering itself

Dems are incapable of working with each other on anything. Unions will fuck off if someone even suggests that free trade might be good, progressives will fuck off if they don't get their precise foreign policy outcomes, center left will fuck off if you dare suggest anything more radical than Republican platform with speed limits.

Unfortunately, I would never abandon my country no matter how retarded it gets

I take the covid response in spite of Trump combined with the blatantly horrendous actions of Russia in Ukraine among other things I am too tired to remember as evidence that you know maybe America isn't too bad even though it has fucked up before

I think there's a system there worth salvaging and protecting

That's why I won't leave, if it comes down to it, I am gonna stay even if it costs my life

Yeah

Of course

Maybe, but it is likely that I will die horribly to some zoomer flying a hobby drone

But all things considered, it's for a good cause if it happens, which is better than most people get when they die

Mind you, I don't think a civil war will happen nor do I think it is preferable. I remember having to tell multiple people I knew that like... read about literally any modern civil war. That shit is horrendous, inhumane, horrible stuff.

Oh God so I took a few classes on contemporary african history because that is my niche special interest

Jesus CHRIST some of the stuff out of the Rwandan genocide and the 2nd Congo Crisis

And the Biafran war too

Contemporary African history is like Kojima mixed with Game of Thrones

relentlessly dark and confusing

(which is why my eyes glaze over any time anybody ever talks about Africa)

If anybody ever expresses any sort of opinion or sentiment around Africa, you should just ignore it offhand. That is my advice

Nah, even the people you know and respect will have their IQ shrink by 50 points the moment they discuss Africa

Good INSTEAD YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO EXCLUSIVELY MY OPINIONS

and regurgitate them VERBATIM

No there's some fun stuff to be honest

There's uh... okay if you want a moral conundrum

There's this former warlord

General Buttnaked

Basically he was fucked in the head

Like eating the hearts of the parents in front of their children then conscripting them to be child soldiers tier evil. This guy was fucked

But after the Liberian civil war, he became a born again christian

And now he actively wants to establish a court to oversee punishment for war crimes and intends on standing trial

like he's submitted himself to it wholeheartedly, started up a whole program to help former child soldiers, like the whole nine yards

So basically it's a whole moral conundrum because this guy was the absolute worst of the worst, maybe a product of his environment, but he is at least sincere enough in his newfound convictions that he'd be willing to be executed at any moment so that justice is served. It's kind of an interesting story to me.

I think that he should be sent to the court and serve the exact same punishment as any other warlord, which for guys with that level of power should really be execution in order to secure some degree of stability.

Not because I think it's necessary that he "be punished' but that in order for such a court to function properly exemptions can't be made because "you're kind of a cool guy now"

Oh God, there's also the whole thing with uh fuck I always get his name confused

Habyarimana

The Rwandan President whose plane was shot down triggering the Rwandan genocide

The prelude to the Rwandan Genocide is genuinely like... insanely complicated. I am too tired to explain the entire thing, but it is very very complicated

>>704383
Unfortunately, everything I know is from textbooks, a couple of books, reading over the documents the UN provided, etc.

I am seeing if this video covers it

But basically the details around the Arusha accord are very mysterious, because essentially it's taken for granted that Habyarinama intended on just breaking them the instant he could, but his plane was shot down by the RPF (which they deny but it's more or less highly likely they did it) before he did break it. And there's like... it's very very confusing. Especially with the way the interhamwe were set up, the fact that Rwanda basically spent 20 years with the RPF perched at their border, Habyarinama started out as a sort of compromise between the tutsis and hutus but his own desire for power along with the constant looming threat of the RPF had essentially led him to have an ever shrinking circle of allies that became more and more extreme.

When I am not as tired I can explain it, it's like... very confusing even when it is explained

Because like... we are talking the Ugandan government trying to create a puppet government in Rwanda, which in turn becomes this hardcore military power that creates its own puppet governments in the Congo that are still around today

Like there's alot of weird political maneuvering and interests from all over the continent that sort of coalesce

Yeah

right now M23, which is a Rwandan backed group, is taking over a substantial portion of the Eastern Congo.

Oh and also it is very uh... there is a whole thing where France was sending in soldiers to back Habyarinama under the guise of "protecting French citizens", then supplying equipment to Interahamwe while the Belgians were in turn training the RPF, then after the genocide alot of the Interahamwe fled to the Congo, which is the reason why Rwanda attacked the Congo in the first place

>>704410
The British had their own problems, they had very recently had Rhodesia and all the bullshit along with it, and iirc this would be around when apartheid ended in SA which is where British focus was

The Brits were more focused on pressuring South Africa to end apartheid while also doing their own thing elsewhere

Also the Brits HATED Rhodesia and South Africa's white minority government for being incompetent fuckwits obsessed with worsening the situation at every turn to maintain something fundamentally deranged and impossible

Alot of South Africa's problems today can be tracked back to the white minority government having a melty and burning everything to the ground just to keep apartheid up in the face of overwhelming international pressure

But it's okay, Elon will bring back the white minority government and now we'll embargo the South Africans for having too many black people in charge instead

Which is part of why you should never listen to a single thing anybody ever says about Africa ever. Because they will be like "the land redistribution caused capital flight!" when my brother in christ the capital flight was already happening because of the sanctions

The work Mandela and De Klerk did to stop the country from completely imploding and collapsing is severely underappreciated

>>704427
I mean it ended over 30 years ago at this point. Also all things considered, it ended fairly peaceably. What was expected to be coups, countercoups, and tribal conflicts ended up being democracy with some flaws and a bad economic situation.

I always figured afrikaans sounded like a very very accented dutch to you guys

I figured that, afrikaans split from dutch alot longer ago than people think

Damn I gotta sleep lol
