I think those first gen insights looked pretty cool ngl. Still just wish Honda would start remaking the CRX.

The Prius does look better without the spats imo.

maybe-later-honey China is stealing tech patents and its not fair, also their tech is 10 years behind, also they live in a dystopian tech-ruled surveillance state, also their economy is about to collapse, also they are single-handedly destabilizing US hegemony

for comparison: over-emphasizing every other word kills the natural flow of reading something yourself (and makes it seem like the writer is talking down to the reader). italics can be helpful for understanding what exactly an author is trying to say by emphasizing a certain word, but when you start forcing emphasis on every other word, and you're doing it every sentence, reading the entire essay/book becomes unnecessarily arduous. I literally cannot read much of Lenin's work, because it reads like a condescending reddit post. when I can find his writing with all the heavy-handed emphasis removed, it reads a lot more naturally.

also my oversimplified understanding of why the cold war even happened was that stalin beat the shit out of the nazis for the allies but the west didnt want to give him too much credit or put the soviets on equal footing as economic post war partners, so the US basically engineered a long era of continued weapons manufacturing using the domestic and liberated/defeated nations industries to subsidize and expand our military while also protecting western capital interests from having to compete in a multipolar global economy where international prols would have increased bargaining power and autonomy, am i doodoo brained or is this kinda sorta accurate

i cant remember whats in the cab blob-no-thoughts i love the jcm 2000 though! literally everyone used the 900 so its cool to have a slightly different tone, also its killer for heavier stuff if you do metal or heavy alternative/hardcore, whatever :) (the guitar in the track is just shitty ableton simulated distortion, the jcm2000 sounds 8 million times better). would totally recommend! i also love that it comes with additional tone control and the double-extra-mega-crunch button to really saturate the distortion, which i leave on pretty much all the time.

It's a critical materialist look at the war in Ukraine, and focuses on how people (like me) in the west can maximize our aid to the innocent people trapped in this war. I'm going to try to turn it into a youtube video in the coming days.

If you have liberal friends on facebook who might positively respond to a gentle reminder that our paths of direct action aren't limited to just sending a few bucks overseas, I hope you'll consider sharing this. Also thank you so much to those of you who do continue to send aid to reputable humanitarian organizations. Personally I refuse to donate to the military because I can't in good conscious send money to a fund that will directly arm the Amov nazis, because I'll bet anything that when the dust settles on the Russian invasion, a sectarian civil war is what comes next.

Edit: Also every time I try to read this piece I fucking hate it, because I know the audience I'm addressing is lib-pilled. If you have any suggestions on how I could improve it, I totally encourage your critical feedback.

Fuck imperialism and fuck war... I love you guys
