Yay~ I've been reading about the Russian Constructivists and have been trying to get a hold of more resources on the emergence of Socialist Realism >>>/tech/8300

I also recently got this book on VKhUTEMAS, which is often described as the "Soviet Bauhaus"—the author summarized the differences between the two in a lecture given at GARAGEMCA last year, which I thought was interesting:
>..if the Bauhaus was ultimately dedicated to developing an individual, VKhUTEMAS was really about developing the masses"

Reminder this thread came out of /log/ talking about early CPUSA-adjacent artists in /log/. If anyone wants to learn more about that then by all means check out Andrew Hemingway's work. He seems like one of the few people carrying the torch of "Social Art History" as far as American and British art are concerned: https://archive.org/details/andrew-hemingway-artists-on-the-left-american-artists-and-the-communist-movement-1926-1956/

Depends. I've noticed that getting high keeps me awake but when I start coming down that's when I get tired. Generally speaking, higher THC strains will keep you awake.

I used to use carts alot, those are like 90% THC and I actually used the sativa ones to do work because they made restless

>>13723
Yeah, but it so fucking expensive man. I can't smoke weed on a regular basis, if all my income goes out to survive

Growing decent, cheap weed is incredibly easy, there are a ton of small scale affordable options out there. I just grow in my backyard and in a tent inside, but I know people who tried something called spacebuckets which is scalable and can be done in an apartment.

Growing good weed though? Harder, but still cheap

In addition to what some already replied also read a quick summary of the difference between the two large types of cannabis: indica and sativa.
Super-summary:
· indica makes you "heavy" / "hungry" / "couch potato" / "sleepy"
· sativa makes you "alert" / "energetic" / "creative"
Most that are available on the streets are "hybrids" of these, but if you're in a jurisdiction where cannabis has been decriminalized or even legalized then it'd be relatively easy for you to find a "pure blend indica OR sativa", depending on what type of high you're interesting in.

The people who have the music I want are rarely ever online; it always feels like gamble when using it.

I miss what.cd so much

This. That's the reason I don't always prefer to torrent things in general. It sucks getting into niche stuff years after it came out.

>>15438
Well at least with torrenting a peer might be running a seedbox; with Soulseek you have to catch someone at the right time of day just to start downloading.

>>15435
I was destitute about it for a month, then I found soulseek. Still have my WCD coasters that I ordered to sent my friend an invite.

What I will forever mourn is the usermade lists though. It was an awesome way to find new music.

Skull fracture does not necessarily mean brain damage. There certainly is the risk of brain damage in mma, it's just this is not a good example of it.

>>15330
You are right.
That being said, isn't a concussion essentially just a brain injury?

I understand that in football, the issue isn't concussive blows, but sub-concussive blows, that give people CRT.

I'd assume its the same in MMA.

So the key take away here is that if anyone on this board is going to do martial arts, it is advisable to find a bare knuckle style. Traditional karate dojos will fight without gloves.

>>15332
If you're talking about sports, maybe. There's also competing in pure wrestling sports that don't involve strikes like Judo, catch wrestling, shoot wrestling, etc. Your potential for different sorts of limb injuries tend to be a bit higher with wrestling though but the danger of head trauma isn't so much. There's also plenty of sports with rules that focus on points rather than knockout blows such as Taekwondo. Alternatively, if you simply avoid sports there are plenty of martial arts that constrain their discipline to teach useful skills without putting yourself in as serious bodily harm.

Extremely vulgar showcase of capitalist society.

People capitalizing and enjoying seeing two people trying to brain damage each other.

Literal blood money. Fictional media and video games are superior in every way to get my rocks off regarding violent tendencies.

It has been a long time and the video still up, but it has been blocked in France and its overseas colonies.

I think the federation is more socialist, while they have to use some sort of capitalist exchange to deal with other species as they could be at war with them the next day.

>>14779
Ferengi are a different civilization. It's been established that the federation was nominally communist in contrast with other major powers in their region of the galaxy.

>>15159
Does the ferengi civilization live on borrowed time because eventually somebody will figure out how to replicate platinum without the P ?

I got Brave New World vibes from the front end of the train, there isn't ANY work to be done, not even white collar

I think this explains when the Party Car all rallied to fight the Korean unabomber

Honestly the ending of this movie to me seems to suggest that proletarian martyrdom is a preferable outcome than simply replacing the porky or just giving in to capitalism.

If you interpret the train as capitalism (imo this interpretation is far more complete and meaningful than interpreting the train as the state, or more specifically, the engine as the state) then what Wilfred is doing at the end is simply replacing the capitalist of the enterprise. Giving it to Curtis, so Wilfred ceases being the capitalist but the train continues going as normal. Imagine a scenario where Curtis actually accepts this. It would be an extremely crude ending but it would realistically showcase that the vast majority of people would switch their positions immediately if their class interests changed.

The reason why I think interpreting the train/engine as the state is kind of ineffective is because the train is supposed to represent unsustainability. It won't exist forever and the people that believe and teach this (the teacher in the kindergarten scene for example) are delusional, basically an allegory for capitalist realism. Also, interpreting the train as a state is simply too convenient for what this movie is trying to go for, it basically suggests that by killing Wilfred (proletarians seizing the "state") they can run the train according to their interests. But why would the repressive forces and de facto allied classes of the bourgeoisie allow this? Will the guards and crowd of drug addict lumpens now bow down to Curtiss and his people? No they won't, because by killing Wilfred Curtiss doesn't actually gain anything. He's not in control of anything. This is the opposite situation of workers seizing state power, because "controlling" the train (by killing its "owner") isn't a comparable situation to taking state power.

This is why the train as capitalism interpretation works so much better. Here it actually makes sense that Wilfred is passing ownership of the train to Curtiss, because he's expecting (correctly) that if Curtiss seizes the train, he can only run it the same way Wilfred has been running it the whole time. If he attempted any radical change the repressive forces of the train and other classes would oust him.

Also this interpretation also works because of the relation between the train, the classes, and the resources in the train. If the train had unlimited resources, there would be no reason to dive the train iPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>If anything humanity would perish much quickly if the resources of the train are spread much more evenly.
You fucking porky bootlicker kill your self. If resources were spread more evenly, humans could solve all their ecological problems. Capitalists think that their wealth will make them invulnerable to ecological crisis, that fixing it has low priority. in new-speak: they don't see them self as stake-holders of the ecosphere. Industrial society is crazy powerful. The only reason, and i mean that literally, there is no other reason, why we can't deal with ecological problems is because wealthy capitalists that hoard the means of production, don't deem it to be in their interests to solve it.

>>15213
The train is not industrial society, and I wrote in my post that the train's resources will eventually run out regardless of who is running the train.

Yeah,except the Borg wouldn't do that. They're drowning in their own ideology. Perfection or bust. And as >>15077 brought up, they tend to have significant Achilles' Heels that they aren't able to find due to their single mindedness. In all fairness though, that computer virus was from about 50 years in the future.

Narnia would win if they have Aslan, since he has the same level of power as the God of Abrahamic faiths.

Who cares. Headcanon is best canon. It’s not like the new Disney’s “lore” is anymore cohesive. If anything it’s an even bigger jumbled mess than the expanded universe.

<The Planetary Assimilation Probe is a type of Borg frigate. As its name implies, it is designed to land on a planetary surface and release nanoprobes into the atmosphere that assimilate all life forms on the planet.
6 of 12 scrap the planetary assimilation frigate it's too imperfect. Send millions of drones and make them chase after people on foot to stab them in the neck with tubes. Perfection achieved.

>>15138
So now nanoprobes can be aerosolized and inhaled? What even bother with ship boarding?

the "remake" sucks balls, don't bother with it

I like Alberto Breccia's art.

>>15001
It sacrifices content for form, it's cool that every panel looks like an expressionist painting but they crammed the 360+ pages of story in the original into like 50 in the remake (understandable since the publication got cancelled due to pissing off the government and the writer being kidnapped not long after) IMO you should only read it if you really liked the original and want to see an alternate take on it.

>>14965
Ok, this was pretty cool. Some parts were questionable, like seemingly endless supply of wholecloth rubber and scuba masks on this guy's attic, but I've got a lot more invested reading this than most media I've consumed recently.

I know this is a long shot but on a stream from a while ago now Haz was talking about some Hungarian socialist realism novel I can’t remember the name of anymore that sounded interesting. Does anyone remember what it was called?
