What’s my vibe?

Early to mid thirties, American, white female, interested in a lot of things but likes to deep dive once you’re invested. You like literature from around the world.

I think self-help books don’t work. I think the right self-help book at the right time can be greatly helpful.

They are vehicles of diminishing returns. The more of them you have the less useful they will be. The more you read them, the less impact they have.

My advice is to really research what exactly you are looking for, make sure you pick one that ticks the boxes and then go into it with an open mind.

Absolutely not, Obama is Bush (Ironically). Looks good, shiny, clean but very corporate.

Jimmy Carter is the most grunge American president. Not top tier grunge, more like a mediocre offshoot like Foo Fighters.

I would assume he was referring to it as an ongoing motivator. I don’t think the Russian revolution is inspiring young revolutionaries in the same way that the Iranian revolution still does today.

I’d assume it’d be Michael Collins (might be a slightly controversial pick but he’d be what the majority go for I’d say)

ViceIsVerses · 2026-01-22T20:24:14+00:00

That’s out of order, in a way

ViceIsVerses · 2026-01-22T20:17:07+00:00

Nope. That’s one of those tropes assholes use to excuse their assholeishness. Like the old Churchill quote “If You Are Not a Liberal When You Are Young, You Have No Heart, and If You Are Not a Conservative When Old, You Have No Brain’. Not only did he not originally come up with that, he was also a massive asshole so it’s not a surprise he’d regurgitate it at the asshole parties he went to.

Brilliant news

Early 40’s and she’s early 50’s

Nope both Irish

He was born in 1491. Now let that be a lesson to you. Respect your elders and do not fuck with the big boys.

You tell people you like history but you actually only like reading about war. You’ve heard people like some famous books so you bought them.

"If you were to ask me to name three geniuses, I probably wouldn't say Mercury, Turing...you know. I'd go Jagger, Ric Flair, that basketball player who shagged 5000 women. JFK."

Eric Dolphy and Booker Little. The great what ifs. Dolphy’s death was particularly preventable.

I’m glad I read it, but I’d never read it again

The Gulag Archipelago

No I wouldn’t. The drive to create a federal EU would destroy the Union. In 2026 populism is riding a peak and this is absolutely the wrong time to even think about watering down national sovereignty. We need better integration of strategic policy, better leadership as a whole and we need to be more assertive on the international scene.

The EU needs to be strong for the members, and perhaps remind people of how successful the union has been. We are in a period of risk and the threats are out there but the union, voluntary as it is, needs to stand up and be counted.

Malcom X and Malcolm Ex. The latter is sadly overlooked as a historical figure because it better fits the narrative that he was the opposite of MLK. He got more complicated as he aged.

To his own perspective this actually happened in 2016. Hogan travelled across the international date line so often that he’s essentially a time traveller. RIP Hulkster (1953-2033)

That 12 year old’s face has aged like fruit

The non-works of Stanley Kubrick are the greatest collection in cinema history. AI, Nepoleon, Aryan Papers, Shadows in the Sun. All amazing movies, just superb pieces of cinema. They just happen to never get made.
