With everyone in my family, it's been letting them know they have love and support until they are ready to make the change for themselves. Now my uncle is finally doing better and is grateful we stuck by him during his hard times (even if it was tough love at times.) He's lucky to have a friend as good as you!
This looks cute! I'm going to check it out.
Henry Cavill feels like a caricature of a nerd. Happy for him!
I do it in my apartment all the time! If I was in a setting with the right crowd and the right rules I would love to, but I haven't found it yet.
Thanks! I don't mind the presence of children characters, but I don't feel comfortable with the sexualization of children, and prefer narratives with adult protagonists.
An important exception to this is like the movie 'the Florida Project' which beautifully used children's perspective to tell the story.
Are there any popular anime where the characters aren't children?
I think Russians constitute an exception that demonstrates how absurd the framework of race is. Actually, race is a means to simplify and create a mass ideology to support national oppression. I.e. someone is exploitable because they 'look' like a certain 'race'. In actuality, 'race' is a paper put over a political-power relationship. This is not to say that race does not radically structure and effect people's lives! Anti-blackness and racism are very real and very harmful institutions.
They myth of 'race' requires biologically distinct 'races' that have different innate worths. Ethnic russians create a paradox in this system because on the one hand they meet the white aesthetic ideal, but on the other hand, the Russian state's interests are diametrically opposed to the Western States' interests.
[CW: ethnic slur for Russians] This is why you see the absurd anti-Russian 'orcs' propaganda. Because Russians are aesthetically 'white' none of the established racist tropes can be applied because there is not enough supposed difference between Russians and 'white' Westerners. That's why it falls so flat and feels so forced, in my opinion.
I don't know if it makes 100% tactical sense but the symbol of resillience is really powerful.
Ghana produces around 20% of the world's cacao but captures less than 1% of total global chocolate revenue. Neighbor Cote d'Ivoire produces another 50%. There are special GAT mandatory tariffs on chocolates and other finished confections which make it basically impossible for these two countries to produce their own domestic chocolate industry. So while cacao farmers work grueling 12+ hour days, few have ever actually tried chocolate.
Both countries were colonized by France which imposed a lot of cacao manufacture which is why the major chocolate company is Nestle. Further, while France is not the sovereign of its own currency since it is part of the Eurozone, it is the sovereign of the CFA Franc which is the national currency of 14 countries in the region. This is a textbook example of neocolonialism and a great propaganda point if studied. The recent 'military juntas' in the area are actually nationalist left-wing officers' coups which have expelled French military presence and worked to build meaningfully sovereignty. There is a lot of handwringing about the extreme poverty and instability of West Africa. is a major contributor. These are not poor countries, only overexploited countries.
Ghana is not under the CFA dictatorship however. Under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah, it broke decisively from French imperialism.
Biden realizes the decisive Arab vote in Michigan and Minnesota will cost him the election more than the Zionist-Jewish vote and pivots to Palestine. In a moment of tenuous solidarity, the USS Gerald Ford allows Ansar Allah militants aboard so as not to be the direct force enforcing the blockade on Caesaria Port.
Reddit is the heart of petty bourgeoise discontent. Its telling that even people who look like they have it good to us are also discontent and feel precarious. Their attachment to the proletarian cause is thin and not only certain, but as the crisis of capitalism intensifies, more and more of them will enter/be dumped in our camp.
Well you see the president is elected democratically unlike in Germany where the Nazis were never....oh....
