On this day in 1931, with the Soviet Union’s help, the “Chinese Soviet Republic” was founded by the Communist Party of China, establishing its own bank, printing its own money, and collecting its own taxes.
At the time, the majority of China was still under the control of the Nationalist Government of the Republic of China. On November 7th, communists held an open ceremony and military parade for the new country, attended by Mao Zedong.
Central Revolutionary Base, commonly called the Jiangxi-Fujian Soviet, was the largest component territory of the Chinese Soviet Republic and served as the county seat and headquarters of the Chinese Soviet government.
The Jiangxi-Fujian base area was defended ably by the First Red Front Army, but in 1934 it was finally overrun by the Kuomintang government’s National Revolutionary Army in the Fifth of its Encirclement Campaigns.
This last campaign in 1934-35 precipitated the most famous of the communist army retreats, known as the “Long March”.

A local radio channel is testing out the idea of “What if Da Ali G show but the actor was actually middle eastern”.

you’ve never heard of it!
I really need to suck it up, quit my software “engineer” job, and get a real job making significantly less money and with significantly worse benefits but with coworkers who don’t see their interests as aligned with management. Now to only overcome autistic burnout (which I suspect I’m only using as an excuse to be lazy) and the inevitable peer pressure I’ll get from virtually everyone in my white treatlerite labor aristocratic support network. Maybe I should just go thermonuclear and burn all bridges with people I know regardless of whether or not they treat me badly (they’re all nice to me)?
If I didn’t want an enemy general to use a certain route through the mountains I would simply rename it Stinky Loser’s Pass
Messenger: My lord, our forces have engaged the enemy at what the locals call Cao Cao Reeks Plains
Cao Cao: What the fuck?
This Zelda game is pretty neat
I love how hawks always look so offended and flabbergasted
This one goes a bit under spoilers because it’s a little embarrassing.
problem.
I know someone on Discord who is really cool and smart, but I haven’t been able to let go of one bad petty fandom interaction we had a long time ago and have been trying to ignore them ever since. It is completely childish and petulant of me but I still don’t know what I should do. The best solution is that I grow up, get a better spine and just let it go but even after these months, I still have not been able to let go of my resentment and that only gets worst the more I try to get back in only to disagree even more and the resentment continues to grow. I have debated to just tell them what I have been feeling, based on the tumblr post where they were calling out people who were passive-aggressive resenters to just be honest and tell them why you dislike someone. My only hesitant is that it still feels inappropriate to just dump something like “hey, remember that conversation a long time ago? I still have not been able to let that go and it made me dislike you even further even though you are legtimately a cool person who doesn’t deserve this”.
Appreciate any advice or encouragement on what I should do.
always curse people out the first time
Update: I went ahead and told them. They were understandably confused since it was months ago, and the conversation sort of stopped. Perhaps it is for the best that it did.

Mfw people who knew me in my worst periods of insufferable narcissism and neuroticism don’t want to reconnect even when I say I’m normal now
Was tryong to come up with a roster for Marvel vs. Cancon and found that there are too many groups. Like The Kids in the a Hall, Bob and Doug, Trailer Park Boys. It’s either too many gimmick team characters or you bloat the roster. It was agreed that Chad Kroeger would be stronger the more damage he took. Red Green would be kinda like Snake in Smash Bros with a lot of traps and gadgets. Rick Mercer would have a walking rant combo, Pierre Trudeau would be an M Bison style final boss. CBC should get into game development

Long 15 has fantastically interesting politics for an FNV mod (not that theres much competition). it’s afaik the only FNV mod–only bethesda game mod probably that deals explicitly and positively with unions. but, the spokesperson for unions? a water monopolist ?!?!?!?
then the main quest is : military junta (blackwater) vs. military junta (fort bragg) vs. brahmin baron feudal lord.
i know the ‘official’ NCR Royez plot is supposed to be the least bad but the context of the rest of the game should make it clear “federal” NCR authority is simply a proxy for the most monopolistic grains in the country.
Guy at work cut himself with a peeler. It was one of those ones where there is still a bit of skin hanging on. I told him the best way to deal with a dangler/pez dispenser scenario is to wait until the loose skin is dead, if you pinch it you don’t feel anything and burn it off with a lighter. He looked at me like I was Rambo. It doesnt hurt until the flame hits skin with life left in it, you pinch it out there, it hurts about as bad as fucking up putting out a cigarette. This guy was imprisoned under Dueterte and would be dead if someone he knew from was school wasnt in the military and saw his name in a file. He’s the badass. I’ve just seen a lot of finger cuts working kitchens a lot. He was a mechanic before going to prisom and then moving here, he can do stuff I really wish I could! I’m super good at the job we do together cause I hace 17 years of experience up on him and I wasnt anywhere near his level for how long he’s been doing it. I’m just not scared at all of fire because of neo pagan superstitions that I hold regarding kitchen work. I am an ally of the Fire Gods and burn myself constantly as a sacrifice for protections against the Knife Gods. I almost never cut myself, probably cause I take knife safety hella serious, but I am cavalier as hell regarding heat and fire cause burns dont hurt anymore. If I dont wanna put something down and a pizza needs turning I just reach into the 630 degree oven and turn it with my hand, my arm hair burns off before it hurts
