  • sick of being so lonely in a physical/touch starved sense but at the same time i cannot conceive of how i could ever fit another person into my daily life even if i somehow met the nonexistent unicorn person that would be mutually attracted to me. i am like balls deep in some kind of overly existential psuedo-philosophical thought monologue at any given time, any time other people interact with me it feels like an intrusion/distraction. i absolutely cannot do small talk and i hate anything with a hint of mundane suburban domesticity. i want to talk about sci fi robots and play vehicle simulator games and listen to ‘repetitive’ ambient electronic music and eat the same easy to prepare microwave slop foods every day, i will never be into gardening/cooking/sports/celebrities/social media/eating out/live music/alcohol/going outside. i am the least relatable person on earth and i am looking for the type of girl that wants to talk about hatches and multi-function displays and periscope visors and 30mm autocannons and fully mechanized space communism and the meaning of existence. the closest thing i have to an ambition is a wistful yearning desire to make a cool mecha game or furry mecha webcomic, that i am reasonably sure i will never follow through on in a meaningful sense.




  • its always amazing to compare stalin’s writing and speech to the way he is portrayed in western media. ‘please fire me and abolish my government position’ - definitely the words of a power-hungry mass killing warlord dictator lmfao. compare literally anything stalin wrote to literally anything hitler wrote, stalin comes across as a humble scholar and hitler comes across as a raving conspiratorial racist madman. stalin be like ‘our party literally does not need the position of general secretary, please fire me’ and hitler be like ‘every ethnostate, of which mine is the best, must have a single unelected absolute ruler and i should be in charge of all of germany for ever’ and liberals will be like ‘i literally can’t tell the difference’ same-picture

    descriptivism is linguistic tailism, humans have the ability and responsibility to shape their shared language for the benefit of all instead of letting anything and everything happen with no consequence as if entropy and random chance and any kind of capitalist or fascist modifications of language are holy and beyond reproach. as a niche leftist community there is not much we can do for the moment but analyze, however a strong centrally organized revolutionary communist party of some kind should absolutely ‘prescribe’ how language is used to shape society for the better.


  • westoids when china censors racism: this is literally 1984 animal farm totalitarian authoritarian mass genocide

    westoids when AlgoCensor by Google (powered by amazon web services) censors words that would make their advertising partners less money: this is true innovation, the market is solving all of society’s problems in the most efficient way possible, take all of my investment money


  • i believe this, the modern two-handed pistol shooting stances are a relatively recent thing related to the development of effective body armor afaik. ww2 tactics were to fire one-handed with your torso facing away from the enemy to reduce your target profile, whereas in modern tactics you want your front chest armor plate to be facing the enemy so that you have the greatest amount of armor coverage (you will almost certainly still go down if shot through armor but you are much more likely make it to a hospital, whereas getting shot while unarmored and in a ww2 rifle or pistol stance will get your heart and both lungs shot with one good center-mass hit. this is also why most militaries issue shoulder/upper arm armor also, because a shot through the armholes is devastating)


  • its actually a common posture in competitive precision rifle shooting, even the US army allows it during some qualifications. its impractical for actual combat but does improve precision.

    edit: the turkish shooters casual-seeming hand-in-pocket posture is actually also a specific precision shooting posture, in events where using a 2 handed grip is disallowed the hand-in-pocket stance uses the offhand to stabilize the torso.


  • everything already always is. the potential movement or changes possible for a concept/phenomena must be themselves contained within the concept/phenomena. the oak tree is not a completely separate phenomena from the acorn, but rather a specific stage of the entire being of the tree-seed dichotomy/spectrum, the possibility for the tree already exists/is already contained within the acorn. yet the tree will not grow without the appropriate set and setting (soil, light, water, gravity, atmosphere, etc.), so these too must all be considered as a unified whole in some sense along with the tree-seed.
