Trying my hardest to be civil in this uncivilised world.

  • Coups and assassinations aren't just entertaining, but also very profitable (for anyone, not just corrupt aristocrats) now!

  • "The Thick Of It", if you wanna cackle. It's three seasons (under 10 episodes each) and a TV movie. I recommend watching it with subtitles, especially if you're not a native English speaker/not accustomed to the many accents of the British Isles. If you've watched Veep, it's quite similar except much better in all aspects, lol.

    If you don't mind animays (and, for whatever reason, you haven't watched this masterpiece... the shame!) and are competently literate, I also enthusiastically recommend "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". It explores the "honourable philosopher king" autocracy v. "decaying, corrupt, aimless democracy" issue, and the character arcs and very realistic reactions and interactions are just chef's kiss. 👍

  • FYI, and in case you were wondering about his uhh quick collaboration with the Burgers:

    "Noboa has adopted a militarized approach to crime in Ecuador, frequently invoking states of emergency, expanding the military role in internal security, weakened judicial institutions, and raising human rights concerns.[15] Supporters say his approach has helped to fight crime,[16] while critics perceive Noboa as an autocrat,[17][18] accusing him of human rights violations, centralization of power and undermining press freedom.[19][20]"

    "Daniel Roy Gilchrist Noboa Azín was born in Miami, Florida, United States on 30 November 1987,[21][22] and was raised in Guayaquil.[23][24][25] He is the son of Ecuadorian businessman Álvaro Noboa and Ecuadorian physician Annabella Azín.[26] Noboa graduated from the New York University Stern School of Business in 2010,[27] and later earned a Master of Business Administration from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.[28]"

  • A now popular word used by "liberals" for anyone that doesn't just regurgitate Western narratives, from what I've seen.

  • Can't let perfect be the enemy of good!

  • Without the plan of staying with that person in a committed long-term relationship, knowing that the other person very much wants that? Certainly.

  • Maybe other people (although it feels a bit too intellectually "dissonant" for it to be viable), but certainly not me.

  • EU - American divorce when?!

  • Iran has been two weeks from having a nuke for almost 50 years, lol. I think you're very confused about the nature of this American incursion.

  • We shall see. The public opinion in these countries, from what I've seen in the videos of locals cheering for the destruction of American facilities, seems to be on the side of their regional brothers.

  • Performative but politically wise.

  • The tankiest! 🤷🙄

  • Knowledge is important, but values and character are more so, IMO. Many complex ideas are founded on the belief of/are distilled from basic humanity.

  • I haven't been in one yet but I'd love to, I was a trip... friend on the chans over a decade ago so it would be the same experience, basically (ideally, with less racism, lol).

  • Women are the biggest pervs, lol, have you seen what they read? 😅 Men are usually more simple in their desires, but they're just always running in the background, pushing us to seek variety.

  • Germany is the Western scapegoat, and Hitler is their Satan, but the reality of things is that a shit-ton of Western leaders have been worse to humanity than Mr. Funny Mustache (just not to other Europeans, of course, hence the difference in reaction) and Germany barely struck/invaded folks around the world. Considering Germany and Hitler, and not France or the UK (I'm French and I live comfortably in the UK, lol, but facts are facts) and their leaders, who murdered and pillaged to their hearts' content and colonized entire continents, as the Western big baddies is a ridiculous take, one with at least tinges of white supremacy.

  • "Tankie" is for liberals what "woke" is for right-wingers.

  • Soon enough, insha'Allah, the Great Satan will be removed from the global South.

  • ..?

  • First of all, eww, don't speak so casually about death. And no, lol, the only ones saying that are expats living in the West, of course. 😅
