С ДНЁМ ВЕЛИКОЙ ПОБЕДЫ!
79 ЛЕТ НАЗАД ГЕРОИ-ОСВОБОДИТЕЛИ ОДОЛЕЛИ ЛЮТОГО ВРАГА!

УРА!!!

I know Listverse isn't a high-quality site for news or information but it has some interesting posts, especially when you're 'aware'. Like most liberal burger rags it has a heavy anti-communist scaremongering angle in any content relative to the USSR, but an angle I don't see leftypol talk about as much is that also like most liberal burger rags, they try to avoid any mention of Russian or Soviet people in lists such as those of "real heroes" and whatever. Relative to this thread is
https://listverse.com/2018/08/31/10-lesser-known-wartime-nurses-who-displayed-amazing-heroism/
NOT ONE SINGLE NURSE mentioned is Russian, let alone Soviet. While I certainly wouldn't want to take away from the heroism of the others on that list, I find it peculiar as fuck given that unlike most countries Russia was among the earlier to have field nurses, starting at the very least from the Crimean War.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7738882/
Soviet War Nurses were an intrinsic part of the Red Army and many were Heroes of the Soviet Union for their valor of saving troops under fire, such as Mariya Borovichenko (pic is not her).

Is the best thread on the board IMO

>>41983
What are you trying to reply to? Different boards went to different bunkers and most didn't go to junku.

>>42001
im OP Filename threads are a solid /co/ tradition going back at least a decade, and it was probably borrowed from other boards. They can be hit and miss but they go hard when they hit.
Did you check out the other boards? /baw/ is just the off-topic board, /co/ is the beating heart. Some boards are super slow so read timestamps before your reply to a ten year old post, and fair warning, the three PRRROMOTIONS boards are porn which once 4chan's /aco/ and /trash/ were created, became mostly the stuff that isn't allowed there.

>>42003
I think they meant for anon.cafe because when I checked that's where it redirected me.

damn maybe GRRM will live to see his dreams come true

>>42113
lol

>>42113
I know this quote is sometimes misconstrued as criticism of Tolkien, rather than simply contrasting his own approach to fiction, but it still is ironic considering how much GRRM clearly doesnt care about making his world "historically realistic" (or doesnt know enough about history to make it so) and designed ASOIAF like an Age of Empires game, while Tolkien was a world-building autist who clearly put lot of thought into things like Gondors levy system.

I don't 'do drugs' but I've started browsing Erowid experiences vault. I haven't found any troll entries but some of them are for things which I wouldn't have otherwise framed as drugs (e.g. breathing, sweating), and some are pretty educational.
Someone said that getting stung by a paper wasp was good for their ADD and had an aphrodisiac effect, which was wild. (pic2),

I meant my panels are damaged lol. Not a single youtube video replacing the fender.

For whatever reason (probably because the market for both used and new vehicles is mental rn) both of my neighbors want to buy my ~175k km 2012 Dodge Caravan. Thinking of selling it and buying a Kei truck. I have some reservations; the fact that they are RHD; the low clearance/weight which might struggle in the snow; the possibility that parts/tires are hard to source; crash safety in general but particularly when considering that I'll be contending with the super sized trucks and SUVs that dominate the roads here, etc but I'm this close to pulling the trigger

>>42075
It's super cute. Why not go for it. Give a middle finger to the disgusting burger auto culture.

>>42076
>Why not go for it
In addition to the reasons I listed, there's a 15-year import rule in my cunt so I can't buy new, the trucks I'm finding are all manual transmission which I don't know how to drive and apparently they don't go very fast–I wouldn't want to strain the engine just trying to drive at highway speeds.
Still, I'm probably going to do it. I'm so tired of the shitty fuel efficiency of my van and the trucks are stupidly cheap. The one in picrel only has ~50k km on it and is going for $10k

After doing a bit of reading, it seems like the Supercharged Subaru Sambar is the Kei truck I want. They're the easiest to work on, it's the only one with a 4-cylinder engine, said engine is located behind the rear axle as opposed to under the seat and it has the most spacious cab. Unfortunately they're relatively scarce. I'd much rather just buy one from a localish dealership with of all the bureaucracy already dealt with but I'm starting to think I'm going to need to deal with an importer, do a bunch of paperwork to get it road legal and possibly even drive it home 1600km from the port in Halifax. This would end up being cheaper than buying it ready-to-go but the amount of work involved is daunting. Needless to say I'm having second thoughts and am starting to look at late 80s/early 90s trucks in general since this was the last time auto makers made reasonably sized vehicles

Yeah, I think dressing in a personalized unique way is more important than dressing "good".

>tfw you can be a fashion icon simply by mixing two things that don’t typically go together
Damn

>>42109
i think the opposite, that "unique" doesnt automatically mean good, or rather, its not as clear cut as that. i disagree with the idea of "expressing yourself" via your clothes too tbh

Thoughts on this?
> Existence of magic implies hereditary power and lack of technological advancement.
My take: no it doesn't. If anything, magic would make industrialization happen faster since you can just summon a fire elemental to make steam instead of digging to burn coal. It would also make communism more likely since magic spells would already be making a lot of labor obsolete. Without a need to harness mass labor power of a working class, there wouldn't exist the same incentives to maintain a class structure. Wizards are usually portrayed as elitists, but really they would benefit most from educating as many people as possible about magic since more wizards = faster development of magical theory and knowledge. The reason IRL alchemy was esoteric is that it's bullshit, and more people looking at it would have revealed this. Wizards would replace the bourgeoisie as the "middle class" in feudalism and would basically skip capitalism since wizards have little use for an underclass of workers but benefit a lot from more wizards. Literally why would you ever employ a bunch of farm laborers when you could have that handled by a couple guys casting spells to do it?

anyone read the powder mage serie ?
basically the french revolution in a magical setting, where there is opposition between the "traditional" mages integrated to nobility and power structures and the "newer" mages that have power related to gunpowder, who dont have privileges despite their usefulness on the battlefield where gunpowder is becoming increasingly prevalent, and even discriminated against in some countries. Also include start of industrialization, revolutionary state against reactionary states, and a based story of taking down a "god" (actually just an old super powerful mage)

>>38768
the above is a great example of how magic existence can absolutely be integrated in a story about technological advancement
not a book but arcanum setting also comes to mind
also, 40k, where magic is basically just a parallel dimension that can be tapped into and can be fucked with through science

>If anything, magic would make industrialization happen faster
debatable, and highly dependent on the setting specifics, if your magic is hereditary it obviously will reinforce nobility like power structures, and mages can also naturally be a concurrent class to the bourgeoisie and part of the traditional power structure like a clergy and want to repress something that could be an alternative to their services. Is the use of magic free, can it actually replace labor long term is also not always true.

>they would benefit most from educating as many people as possible about magic since more wizards = faster development of magical theory and knowledge
why would you assume they'd want that rather than make it highly secretive to keep competitive advantages towards other mages. Hoarding knowledge is a classic way for a class to have power

>Wizards would replace the bourgeoisie as the "middle class" in feudalism
only if there are enough mages and they can use this magic on a sufficient scale to not be basically states super weapons / independent cabals ala witcher

>>34768
>it feels a little like GATE
sounds pretty unfair, the fun part of gate was just shooting dragons with rockets and knights with machine guns, but it was overall just wanking of their military, a harem and a forgettable story

I really liked black company, especially the realist take on "no good sides, all armies are home to sociopaths, everyone is ruthless in politics" even in a magical setting. The big mages are rare and akin to having some super weapons, the small mages can be big force multiplier but mostly thank to deception and surprise.
When in the later book they go to some india inspired country with tons of sects and they go full underground guerilla its also pretty interesting. The "searching for your own history" stuff and seeing how they actually have nothing in common to what they were when they started is also pretty good.

>'d rather just read the shitty isekai pennybacks
huh you do you, but again, feel pretty unfair toward black company

>>38769
>debatable, and highly dependent on the setting specifics
True, but even if magic is hereditary it could and would be subject to study and refinement. Eugenics would actually become important to controlling power in that case, which would likely cause a weird intersection between inbreeding and magic. On the other hand, bastard children of magical parents would be way more of an issue than IRL bastards were.
As for industrialization specifically, the only real question here is whether magic can be used as a significant source of energy. If it can, it can be used to power steam engines. If that's the case, magic will become in high demand quickly the same way coal did. Unlike coal, magic output is mainly bounded by population size, and the more of it you have the easier it gets to get more (exponential increase if mages generally take on apprentices). Even with the things magic can produce, transport alone would make steam engines highly important since wizards can't usually teleport the sheer mass that you can load on a train.
>mages can also naturally be a concurrent class to the bourgeoisie and part of the traditional power structure like a clergy and want to repress something that could be an alternative to their services.
Maybe, but there's not much that reasonably could function as an alternative to actual magic. Magic users would have a pretty effective monopoly.
>Is the use of magic free, can it actually replace labor long term is also not always true.
Magic is almost never "free" unless it's for very trivial effects, but the point isn't to wholly replace labor but multiply the productivity of labor power. 1 mage can produce X quantity of Y product that you would need maybe 10, 50, 300 manual laborers to do. Like think of how much a Shape Stone kind of spell would alter construction practices.
>why would you assume they'd want that rather than make it highly secretive to keep competitive advantages towards other mages.
Mages who keep secrets would be at a disadvantage to the ones who share knowledge, because they would have access to less knowledge overall. Also they would be wasting a lot of resources in conflict with each other and hiding things and would not benefit from synergy between multiple exPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I was recently recommended this book. I had liked Mistborn and people (including the author himself) were saying this was his best book.

I don't get it. The plot doesn't actually get started until the tail end of the book. The best way I could describe it is if Tolkien had decided to have Frodo dick around in the Shire for nearly the entirety of the Fellowship and only have Gandalf reveal the true nature of Bilbo's ring to him near the end.

latest pages out

There was a /leftypol/ thread a year ago about mainstream multimedia (TV/games/etc.) with pro-socialist messages. Looks like it was reborn on https://nuclearchange.net/social/thread/163.html recently and I noticed it's mostly cartoons. Lots of commie cartoons. Any theories?

>>42101
kids' media taken less seriously by studios and not monitored as closely?

>>42102
And probably less monitored by shitty journalists looking to create moral panic.

>>41642
"Orient" just means "east." "Oriental" just means "eastern."

Dune takes place on a desert planet, not somewhere east of Europe.

>>41641
I think Chalamet did a good job as "Paul" in the first movie.

I think he just struggled to be "Muad'Dib."

It reminded me of that one Pirates of the Caribbean movie where Keira Knightley suddenly has to be the leader of a crew of pirates and she just doesn't have the presence for it.

I thought Timmy did a good job.

>>41667
>I think he just struggled to be "Muad'Dib."
that fits though
