Thank you
"Oh hey, does anyone else have concerns or questions about x project or know who is handling this (even though i have thoughts not questions and know exactly who this is)? I have this absolutely conniving and needling curiosity to make whoever’s life this is miserable, in the most passive aggressive way imaginable. Anyhow, a heap of professionalese and deliberate microaggressions to sign off.
Kind regards, the person who makes their job their whole damn identity
P.S. Please understand that this war of attrition I am staging will cause an outburst from my target, and that I will be clearly in the right by maintaining professional composure when my hostile assault elicits a tantrum response from said target making them seem paranoid and in need of personal reflection."
Giving a bullshit reason for breaking up with my partner (guess i need to start dating again to fulfill my destiny)
BreakThrough News has some good original programming. Not a daily per se but that have a few different shows they produce which are quite informative.
It’s streaming on Max, but I imagine there are other places you can find it.
Moral Orel. it’s basically a documentary about the self serving and selective application of morality by american christians

Plex. If they set up a free Plex account and you setup a plex server, you can share whatevr pirated goodies you have with them. This requires an old laptop or pc (ideally dedicated to mostly just this purpose) being on all the time on your end. Anytime they visit plex they can tab over to your or whomever’s server and browse movies in a netflix type interface. A Plex server is pretty damn easy to setup, basically just download, install, and point plex to whatever folder has shows or movies. Also, Tubi, Pluto, and Plex have a surprisingly good amount of content that doesn’t require any piracy.
*if you wanna get fancy you can add a couple of apps that automate dling and adding stuff to your plex library, like sonarr for shows and radarr for movies, and then use overseerr so that your friend can request to add or automatically add things to your server without having to do any pirating themselves.

Love this song, love the original brains version. First one i heard was this one by high standard. Cyndi’s version is great for karaoke
I have considered about doing this and when the thought occurred to me i checked my fw version and saw that it was the recommended one. I turned my wifi off in the event that I would want to jailbreak but then hesitated last minute when i read some comments about the ko reader interface being almost too feature rich as to make navigation and other changes text and menu heavy. This post has me reconsidering
It’s not feature length, but 12 Monkeys is based on a short film by Chris Marker called Le Jetée which I highly recommend, along with all of Marker’s work, really. Marker deals a lot in documentary with a surrealist touch, and thoughtful narration. He’s a good old leftist too.
All the movies you mentioned are not just psychological, but are messed up temporally, so you might appreciate a newer movie called Time Addicts. Watched a bit of it and it was funny, dark, and wild, as a time traveling movie about meth should be.
The Manchurian Candidate is great (both versions are really, though I prefer the one from ‘62) as it deals with a character piecing together an experimentation plot involving hypnotism and proto mk ultra mind control. If I think of more when I’m rested i’ll jump back and comment again.
It’s not even radical, but there should not be any vehicles allowed near schools, particularly elementary schools, without special permission based on need. It should be a safe area for people to walk and play. I can’t tell you how many people barrel through the parking lot of my kid’s elementary school just to avoid being tardy (another concept which should be reformulated). I work at a university, and a 19 yo with a 2 ton truck struck a pedeststrian yesterday afternoon, sending them on an airlift to a not close by hospital.
The extended substance to Descartes is broadly the material, whereas the thinking or res cogitans is the thinking substance. How to bridge the immaterial mentality of thinking as a causal force in the material presented a problem for him and was difficult to bridge in this conceptualization of the full human: the mind body problem. The split subject in Lacanian psychoanalysis refers to in part the “mirror stage” of psychological development, where the undeveloped infant first sees it’s own image in a mirror and begins to recognize it’s own incomplete self image (only seeing of itself without the mirror its legs, arms, perceiving its clumsy motor skills, etc) compared to the ideal subject reflected in the perceived-to-be complete “other” in the mirror, which is not first recognized as itself but an ideal form which seems to be superior and complete in comparison. This is furthered by the imposition of language or in Lacanian terms “castration” which is essentially the imposition of a defining, limiting, prohibitive symbolic structure by way of language which creates a separating or splitting of the self independent of the flesh and blood, now extant in the symbolic and signified sense. There can be no unification of the split self, which is the underlying source of the neurotic or psychotic, with the former responding to castration with repression and the latter responding with a complete rejection of the prohibitions circumscribed therein. This is a vulgar understanding but how I interpret it.
I have experimented with sugar, cream (dairy, soy, almond, coconut, oatmilk), and both combined, but I return to black and have stayed this way for years now. Sugar hurts my teeth, and I am not realy interested in adding calorie dense stuff to my happy juice. And I love the taste of black coffee. It can be shit sometimes, but at it’s best it surpasses anything sweeteners or cream can add.
What’s the movie if i may ask?
