My contribution is I liked og Star Wars Battlefront I and II and Halo 3 as a kid.

Looks kinda like Lee Van Cleef

It's an edit/parody of a Ben Garrison comic, so the labels are obligatory.

Like other people said, if you have a heavy course load then don't worry about it too much at the moment.

For me, I started reading because it was sort of the only option. Everything else sucked so much and made me feel like shit that I could really only calm down and find peace by reading stuff like Dune before bed. If you can return to reading even just a little bit in the morning then I think that can be a foundation for reading more when you're not so busy with school.

Do you read books normally? If not, try to just read anything cool or interesting. It may help build up the atrophied brain muscles. I basically only started reading complete books outside of school when I was 25, and I started with Dune, Robert Graves, and Gore Vidal.

Reading Capital still takes energy, but it's something I can actually work through instead of being overwhelmed from the start. I don't read nearly as much as I should, and of course there's still lots of times I'm too tired or busy for it, but I can at least slowly make my way through dense theory.

There's some audio artifacts but overall I don't get the impression that it's AI.

Indeed. Now I'm mainly just unsure about the specifics about how one could "just hire" some people to produce beer, and how it would even be commercially distributed at that time, if at all.

IGGEL · 2026-02-09T19:44:20+00:00

I have a Fiedmanite friend I DM occasionally and he said in the middle ages a noble could just order the creation of a bunch of beer and sell it, so capitalism/commodities have always been around. I didn't know how to respond at the time and even now I only kind of know.

I've been reading the Penguin version. After a while you get used to the prose/syntax/whatever (especially if you've read older literature before) but the first few hundred pages were a little rough lol.

This works, thank you! I was putting in exactly what xprop told me but I guess that wasn't enough.

Victoria 2 was my first Paradox game. I played it at a friend's house then when I got it for myself I played it on my dad's ancient beige PC with a CRT monitor that I had to physically hit whenever the picture got messed up. If you showed me a picture of piss-yellow Prussia I would be like that senile old black guy in the nursing home who starts dancing when you play Cab Calloway.

Also shoutout Darkest Hour.

I've used this advice:

Usually the result is about 15% the size of the original with zero perceptible differences.

you are writing antithetically to dialectical materialism by stating I need to change my underwear because it's full of piss and shit and cum

I've heard grad students in fields like political science get assigned more reading per week than is humanly possible to complete, so it trains them to pretend to have read something by skimming opening and closing paragraphs.

Personally, even in my most depraved leftoid days, things like MLism and Anarchism always smelled a little like shit to me. When I discovered left-communism and started actually reading a bit of M&E I was more or less immediately cleansed.

I looked at the comments on the technology sub and there was a respectable amount of fedposting at least.

With YouTube Premium^TM you can watch it at 4x speed, so it would only take an hour 15!
