Probably not. Let's not pretend that European leaders aren't fantasizing about doing some of the stuff trump is doing. They only care about trans people in this context because it allows them to point at the US and say, aren't you glad you aren't over there, now give us all your money so we can buy missiles and tanks

    When you are driving through the countryside and you start to smell cow shit. I fucking love it.

    My dad used to say this to me and I never understood it until I got older.

    It would have been just as bad. They were already mass exterminating, the difference is you ghouls don't care when your guy is the one giving the orders

    At least this way we get to watch the stain that is the American empire crumble to the ground. In the long run this may even result in Palestinian liberation, once Israel's enablers abandon them

    The democrats would agree with everything the republicans wanted. But they'd do some performative bullshit to claim they are powerless to stop it, or that they need to reach across the aisle, or that you need to vote harder next election and donate now

    I'm leaning towards yes, because despite their inclusivity and the general feel-good vibes of the stories, the characters themselves flirt with police brutality quite a bit, and who knows exactly what they get up to in their lives outside the novels.

    Any more nuanced views from my fellow hexbearians (and lemmings)? I'm slightly less articulate than Detritus on a hot day, and I wonder how much the politics and views of Terry Pratchett comes up in leftist discourse.

     

    Hi all,

    I've been learning Mandarin for just over 6 months but I am having trouble with my listening comprehension. Does anyone have any good resources for listening practice? I am looking for HSK 1/2 level stuff. I basically just need to immerse myself in as much content as I possibly can until all this vocab and grammar starts to cement itself in my brain.

    I already use Hello Chinese and a few other apps. Ideally I would just be looking for quick fire phrases and conversations that I can listen along to. Youtube has some stuff but the quality is always a bit up and down.

    Thanks
