Pretty dope movie actually. Do see it if you have the chance.
Photos from a hotel in Russia.
Been watching "Chief of war" and its pretty good. Its a historical fiction told about the early Hawaiian interaction with europeans told from the Indigenous peoples point of view. Written by and starring actual Hawaiians and using Hawaiian language.
Listening to the Autistic Culture podcast, season 3, and it's great so far.
Im just here manifesting anarcho-bolshevik to do a King of the Hill review.
I think the best joke was in the first episode. "What ocean?"
I have just watched Takopi's Original Sin and it's some really heavy stuff. It sheds light on some very real issues in today's society such as bullying, domestic abuse, suicide, etc., and how unfair conditions can lead to such behaviors. However, the ending feels a bit... Libby, for lack of a better term? (Spoilers ahead)
Major spoilers up ahead:
So in the end, Takopi sacrifices himself so that the two rival characters Shizuka and Marina become friends instead of enemies. The anime presents this as a happy ending (of course, as the main conflict between them has been resolved in a positive way), but at the same time, during the time skip at the end, Marina still has the facial scar she gets from parental abuse in a time skip from a previous timeline, which implies that her household problems likely still haven't been resolved.
Also, it seems like a wasted opportunity to not address how the contradictions within Capitalism perpetuate these situations in the first place, whether it be Shizuka's poverty (with her mother having to turn to prostitution to keep them afloat), Marina's abusive parents (unable to properly seek help, causing her to turn to bullying Shizuka to vent her frustrations), Azuma's parental neglect (always being forced to push himself as an attempt to gain his mother's approval due to work culture), etc.
Idk whether this has been talked about or not, but since Pocket has shut down, anyone has an alternative recommendation to it? I have downloaded Raindrop, but I haven't registered yet, maybe somebody has a better solution. (I have no access to self-hosting yet), thank you!
I'm using Raindrop, it's fine. I've used Pocket for a long, long, time. Raindrop is for me more like a bookmark manager, while the pocket was mostly 'read it later' or rather never app.
If you're able to self-host, you may want to look into karakeep or shiori. I started using Vanadium instead of Firefox on Android lately and have stuck with it because of how much better it is, however I do miss the ease of bookmark and tab sharing across devices. Right now, I'm trying to work with floccus, but having a shared read it later list now sounds appealing to me.
It's funny that binchotan charcoal has been made obsolete by coconut briquettes but weaboos still buy the extremely expensive binchotan because muh japanese artisanship.
Not only are coconut briquettes much cheaper, they are also much more environmentaly friendly since it uses waste from the coconut industries and more efficient to make.
For some reason for my holidays I accidentally end up in regions with secessionist movements as will now be the case in Brittany. I don't mind it, it gives me some cool history things to do. But it's a funny pattern.
