Make a whole separate area of your personal task list for managing language learning. In the main list the reminder just sends you to the language list for contextual stuff. That way you can set really detailed steps without clutter. Many ways to do this, separate sheets of paper, Orgzly searches you switch between, hyperlinks to a note that has checkboxes in something more basic.

This way you never stress over what you need to do next or where to begin that day. Even preliminary steps like “find Hindi learning resources for Malayalam speakers” can be in there

I just tried to look up some books for this, and it is an absolute nightmare. “Literature” and workbooks on this subject seem to evaluate/address the patient in an intolerably condescending and frequently misogynistic way. I mean, the one I just read didn’t even use a male example in their prompt and it was all about boyfriends and getting into subcultures. Just kinda bumping in the meantime but that was more frustrating than most research areas, FYI.

They are delusional but they’re also not saying what they mean. People are often the most delusional about their ability to get away with lies due to a countervailing, widespread irresponsibility known as politeness. It has minimal crossover with actual politeness. I can’t speak more on this here. It’s too dangerous

Hope it all goes well! China is difficult so make sure to do a lot of research and talk to people who’ve moved there. Hard to get a green card even if you’re married to someone who has citizenship. OTOH it is flat-out impossible to do the reverse (this is tough to watch despite being a characteristically charming video from the channel). I’m sure you’ll take it seriously, but just saying. I chose complete no-brainers. You just buy Russian property and get a visa it’s nuts. VN is roughly more like China 20 years ago in terms of visas

Wait what I meant you should flee the country together

Those are like the only countries it’s even ethical and feasible to move to.

I guess there is kind of my own brutal logic that I couldn’t remain in America and have a happy relationship with a liberal embedded in there. But that wasn’t my intended message at all. It was seriously just asking, do you think ditching the whole environment together is feasible?

I’m not like super amazed by Russia it’s just not RUINOUS for the next generation there, so you’re not just like, exploiting the population as an asset-laden expat. You’d need to have a career set up and shit. I’m just saying buying a condo or something is unimaginably cheap versus US property market. Which is unstable and based on blood money anyways. Do you get my reasoning? It is a pretty hard break from most people’s priorities so I figured I’d ask before potentially offering one (maybe completely unlikely) solution. Besides not everyone even WANTS a long-term relationship. IDGAF if they do or don’t, I guess I’m glad to see someone else so violently committed to their relationship. That’s dope

I honestly hoped by coming back on the English non-coder/market related internet I could convince someone to do it lol the idea of based internet ppl headed into such a dubious retirement situation makes me kinda get a knot in my stomach. This probably sounds ridiculous 😭 but I have noticed a lot of people’s relatives are hopelessly chuddy & make them unhappy. They could instead be plaintively begging them to fly back across the Pacific before they are 6 feet under 😀

What are her feelings on Viet Nam and Russia assuming this is longterm 🥺

It’s more like a game engine. You can build little puzzle games, something almost like Deadly Rooms of Death mixed with Portal

Well, it had better have a good modpack. To enable asynchrous participation, I recommend a bridge to your Matrix chat. These are all actively developed

ESCAPE NOW

Was a bit miffed as they go out of their way to explain their issues with the terminology western left, gray areas such as Lukacs + Althusser, & clarify it, as others said in this thread which I read after posting. I would object to not engaging with the material further before asking, but I do exactly the same thing on here, even #OnMain.

If you find the material ultimately worthwhile, check out Helmut Harry-Loewen, Adnan Husain (East is a Podcast), and Justin Podur. Part of the same wider scholarly ring. Oh also Millenials are Killing Capitalism has been on EiaP frequently despite some differences of opinion. I think the show has taught me how to disagree with others better! I can’t listen to normal podcasts now. Too repetitive. I need scholars who got pissed off with their field’s stagnancy. It’s that good. They’re not trying to cast an overly wide net, they are interested in forming a wider progressive coalition.

It’s just important, paramount in doing it, to reorient those progressives’ objectives away from trying to attain meaningless concessions in a legal system that will never even maintain them when permitted (by design). We cannot form a coalition with people who have the wrong goals, & frame our most important areas of study as negative caricatures. These are at most people who could learn to mean well if willing to learn. Allies in waiting they are not lolol. It’s an ethical question, whether these people acknowledge they are dependent on the most advanced forced labor extraction system in history, but it’s also the deciding factor in whether they work towards liberation or faster accession to the inflated US asset market that is FUCKING DOOMED. They act like we’re just scolding them for getting terminology wrong!

You didn’t understand the basics and decided to get hung up on definitions. Sorry to be brusque!

I’m pessimistic abt youth in America they’re pretty delusional about their ability to attain wealth & the entire boommillenial reich is obsessed with their asset holdings + afraid to look under the rock and see what makes it grow & if it is even really a rock…

Got a laugh outta me even if it’s a bit inappropriate 😂

If you have any issues just remember you can have it scan for public instances & dump the nonfunctional ones with the switch instance + reroll button. There’s a couple with no public instance you’d have to host yourself, like Instagram.

Hahahahaha fuckingn racist Zionist POS Epstein ass university

I’m convinced it’s an inevitability as they can no longer cheaply buy off the entire population, losing their trade leverage & the asset inflation intended for them to chip off of.

Is it kind of like smoked tea? I’m going to order it regardless I can’t resist

Thanks man, I forgot I have a whole folder on the Bucha hoax, but I forgot to post about it 🤣. I will probably go through it tomorrow morning or at least by this weekend. It’s actually a wonderfully multifaceted media event, where the hermeneutics of suspicion act as a blacklight on all the cumstained Nazis of the fascist international

The petrodollar will fail. It’s a certainty now that it will happen soon, historically speaking.

It’s an interesting question for the pseudo-communist progressives attached to the democratic party: are they really the kind of people who would be in charge of a communist North America? They don’t look Mexican, Black, or Native American to me. I’m not an identity essentialist but the way they’re attached to white political & intellectual apparatuses proves it’s not serious before you even get to discussing tactics.
