got any good recipes with tofu?

That’s basically how I’ve felt. It’s been very confusing. 2008 happened when I was a kid, so I’ve never really known what’s normal.

Literally same except I do know what caused it and it was kind of inevitable, but also yes, the adults managed to make everything worse too.

Thanks for answerin

I want to have hope sooo bad… and I understand you’ve helped with his campaign and say he’s the real deal. But I thought the “reform or revolution” question was already answered. Are we wrong about that?

Like, I don’t see how this ends well unless it’s all part of a much larger plan to get a revolution going. Is there a larger plan? You don’t have to say what it is, if it’s like op sec or whatever.

I could see it if it’s like, a plan to radicalize more people:

Mayor tries to do objectively good shit and gets ratfucked --> people get angrier and say fuck the system (but they could just end up getting more fascist)

Mayor gets some good things done --> hey socialism is cool, maybe we should join! (join what exactly tho? no vanguard party?)

Talos Principle is great. I love their soundtrack.

I took it to be sarcastic

When is it gonna pop already?! So sick of it

Absolutely. The contradictions, before I knew what they were, felt unbearable, because the system clearly doesn’t work but I was brainwashed with the “humanity has always been selfish and awful and it was inevitable that things would be like this, and this is the only possibility because nothing else has worked.” If something did not debunk that belief, it was going to kill me. Liberalism is a VERY dark place to be unless you’re a blissfully ignorant treatler.

Is it me or is the whole island about to pop off? It’s entirely vibes because I’ve never been there, but I’ve just been hearing so much horrible news, and you know, it’s an island… isn’t that kind of like a pressure cooker?

What would this do exactly? Is this the guy who controls interest rates?

Yep, sounds like fascists…

It’s kind of confusing to me how the president and supreme leader seem to be saying two different things. I’m not sure who he’s trying to appeal to. Is he trying to look good for like, international law reasons…? Is it a dual strategy, like I try to calm them down, while you do resistance stuff?

???

Can you DM me the link, I’m still curious

I’ve started Tabyeen - The Neglected Obligation, as you recommended before. I’ll check out that article too, thanks!

Is that passage from his book? I’ve just started reading it.

My dad took the bait. So it’s working on some people. But I feel like it’s not hitting like it used to. I was too little for Iraq so I’m not sure.

omg is THAT what happens?? I’ve been wondering why every time I’m really freaking out, my hands start to get tingly and they get stuck in a certain position (for me it’s more like a claw than a fist). Thanks for the explanation.

Ok I think I got it. Had to do it through calibre with a plugin. Thanks :)

Yeah I get em from anna/libgen etc. So I took an epub, converted it to kepub, but when I copy pasted it onto my kobo it didn’t show up in my book list. Did I do it wrong?
