I saw a bumper sticker telling people to join the IDF.
Your application for an adventurism pass has been granted. Don't get caught.
It could be said that James Bond was a sort of cope for the dying British Empire; an empowered, competent Britain substituting for the real decaying country being subordinated by the U.S. empire and gradually fading into irrelevance.
I expect the upcoming live-action "Call of Duty" movie to be exactly the same thing: a dying empire coping with its increasing irrelevance by lionizing itself. As reality fails to deliver all their fantasies the imperialists turn to fiction as a coping mechanism. We saw this before in Vietnam where it was impossible to hide how poorly we were doing and Vietnam War films, accordingly, were set to fictional plots & characters rather than real events - unlike WWII movies which were often directly based on actual battles and the people who fought them. There was no victory to glorify in Vietnam so they had to invent one. You saw some of this with Iraq and Afghanistan too but not nearly as much - until, of course, the retreat from Afghanistan. Between that and the empire's humiliation by Iran I expect war movies to return to both nostalgia (when we could actually win wars, like WWII) or outright fiction (which is often thinly-veiled alt history).
There's gonna be a call of duty movie?
To the detriment of cinema enjoyers, yes.
Thankfully I'm not really a cinema enjoyer so the wound doesn't go nearly that deep.
I put some commie stickers in the bathroom of this anarchist bar in my city yesterday. It was filled with anarchist stickers and I'm glad I could do something to maybe persuade people.
My mental health is once again being tested. It's been like this basically my entire adult life now and I wonder if I will ever acquire some peace. The guilt about feeling this way while lots of people have it far worse is also bugging me even though I know it's irrational.
Something about when Children get hurt makes me...
I mean obviously I feel bad, right? Everyone feels bad for children when they're hurt. They're children. But I get...scared? Or maybe I'm more like existentially worried. Idk.
Reading about Israel killing children or about children stealing food at school because they're going hungry at home makes me wanna break down an cry.
Dread is the logical response to the realization that those who starve, maim and kill children are willing to sacrifice our very future for their own designs. You're not alone feeling that way.
lol today i had the most bizarre costco encounter, it was like one of those "outer worlds" shopkeepers that talk completely in corporate lingo almost entirely on character and with a cheerful tone but they had a dead expression. Maybe autistic?
Work masking.
Years of being exploited
So I was let go from my internship, because of bad results. I didn't understand my work well enough and my mind was preoccupied with my personal issues. I'll try to find an internship for next year. This all made me realise it's very hard for me to work on school and my personal problems at the same time, and even though I'm sad I couldn't finish my internship it means I can work on myself for the next couple of months. I'll try to get some help from school with finding a new internship which fits me, and maybe get a psychologist again. I should've taken a sabbatical before starting college to work on myself. I found out I was trans shortly before college and I didn't know how hard it would be for me to figure out my identify and my social life if I also had to focus on college.
Omg I came out just before starting a new job! Its sooooo difficult to navigate everything (e.g. social, medical, name change, relationship changes, etc.) WHILE having to do something that takes up the majority of your time/energy. 100% worth it imo, but still difficult! Good luck and hang in there <3
this is really inspiring actually! I've been thinking about coming out irl to more people than just some very close friends, it's nice to hear someone else's experience since it's so nervewracking to think about while other aspects of my life are so busy... sometimes I'm like, maybe I shouldn't do this, is there any point, surely I can manage living as a guy towards the public for the rest of my life if I've already done it for so long. but then of course, every instance of gender euphoria keeps changing my opinion... :D
MORE GIRLS IN THIS WORLD🎉LETS THROW A FUCKING PARTYYYYY
Belgian Defence Minister made a panic about Russian drones some time ago and wanted to use said panic to buy more defence shit. He send vids to the newspapers with proof of a drone. Except it now turns out to be a police helicopter and he was wrong all along.
Oh yeah I entirely forgot about that lol. ¥70 says it was a false flag or one guy messing around at an airport that then went into mass hysteria
Having a job in a social field helping people is just utter insanity. This system drives people to insanity. This week alone I received death threats and other violent outbursts targeted at me. For doing my job. It's like an animal cage you're throw into. Pure survival mode for some. And it ain't worth it. Two more weeks for me and I'm gone. I just wish I had it in me to keep helping people but it's exhausting to the point of becoming mentally numb and constantly tense in your body.
Fuck this system and everyone who upholds it. Humanity my ass.
Thanks for reading this rant.

I'm surprised. Well, it's a nice good thing, in a sea of Pahlavi diaspora.
Just read a piece claiming that Trump runs his government like a hedge fund and it was like a thousand light bulbs went off in my head.
Edit: Here’s the article if anyone is interested:

Ignoring why this is the case, the one thing I'll miss about the US will probably be the food diversity. I appreciate being able to go to sushi restaurants and Ethiopian restaurants and polish restaurants all within a couple miles of each other. I know some of it is americanized, but damn that Ethiopian restaurant was good
Orange chicken？ 目目 一一 人人
I think that's one of those dishes that's americanized. Generally the Chinese food I've had leans on the more savory side. Although I prefer the spicier Sinchuan Cuisine myself [although, Fushia Dunlop has a really good pork belly recipe in her cookbook]
Guangdong sausages are really good (though pretty salty, so you can only have a few per day) alongside some rice :> What is Sichuan (you misspelled it jfsjdhjkdab) cuisine like?
Do yall think Xi remembers anything about Chemical engineering?
Do yall think Stalin missed robbing banks?
He robbed the bank so hard that he ended up seizing it years later.
He did love westerns.
It’s definitely a “if you don’t use it you lose it” thing.
Also, chem eng has advanced quite a bit since his days.
The specific stuff prob forgotten but he totally remembers the nitty gritty. And its totally ok, his job is high level management.
People on social media are still replying 'vaccinated????' on every young person dying five years after millions of us got vaccinated
Reminder: comment "vaccinated???" on every facebook post about dead IDF
trying to create a cultish anti-science group targeting IOF troops that says drinking 1 liter of bleach is good actually and you should do it for health reasons
looking at a superman comic panel and clark has to say "it's a shame castro's still alive when gandhi's dead" oh brother bruh
Sometimes I wonder how I wouldve turned out if I were in my mid teens right now. Because with my interest in living healthy and working out and whatnot I can click on one wrong thing on social media and find myself stuck in some weird lookmaxxing jestergooning alt right pipeline by virtue of being a white guy. It can't be good for a young guy to have this amount of brainrot bombarded at you.
Years ago I was wondering why the Japanese were so sympathetic to the zionist entity. This was until reading deeper into the crimes against humanity and wanton slaughter that the entity has committed against all the innocents that stood in the way of them expanding their lebensraum.
They really are two peas in a pod.
i still struggle to understand how americans can sincerely laugh at perceived cult of personality in other countries
glances to your 'brat' themed kamala campaign and your DNC and at the state of twitter and your hyperindividualized stan culture
I suspect trump is even more likely to attack Cuba to try and compensate for being humiliated by Iran

Every time I look up google streetview in Israel, I'm amazed by how ugly their cities look
we here in colony are proud to demolish centuries old mosques for our shitty beachfront expansion
I think it's a little funny that I'm basically too poor and china pilled to boycott anything. Don't eat fast food, already pirate everything, already used deepseek for the little ai I want to use, etc. The only new thing is transitioning over to libre-office I guess :p. Now if only I could get my family to not spend so much
I hate when I have an actual opinion on something and then someone just says it's bait
dont tell me if this is false i want to believe
it wasnt praise allah
