In Australia paramedics are tertiary qualified and very skilled

In a certain way my life is about prepping. I went into the health field because I wanted to have skills useful for society, not just in collapse but right now.

The whole situation is the result of Israel’s land theft, apartheid, suffocating blockade on Palestinians in the first place.

Are you keen on methamphetamine? 😆

Yep that’s a long one for sure.

Something I’m aware of but try not to think about

Yes it is. You’re just conditioned to think politics is this inconsequential mental game that has no impact on people’s lives.

Atm big on experimental music, electro acoustic improv, onkyokei (somewhat a historically specific term but just this aesthetic generally). At other times I like various electronic and dance musics, classic jungle, UK garage, breakcore (both classic and sewerslvt core), free jazz, yeah. Fair bit

I have found it really useful for helping resolve interpersonal conflict, such as with partners or friends or so on. Also I think it would be useful to help with internal conflicts as well. Dialectical behavioural therapy is a type of psychotherapy for example that is supposedly very effective for personality vulnerabilities, although this might not be materialist specifically. I’m not knowledgeable on the topic but it’s quite interesting.

Jesus that’s the slogan?? That sounds extremely fascist.

Is it possible to do the well paid job for a while and grind it out to save some money then switch to the lower paid one after a few years?

Give us your report when you do. I’d be happy to hear an alternative perspective from a comrade

Yeah, what I originally thought was quite a petty decision, after seeing the film I’m glad they block this brainrot garbage. Even if the reason quoted is kinda dumb.

Small daily steps is a good idea but I don’t think learning character by character is a good way to go about it. If it’s fun for you then that’s fine but just know you won’t make much progress understanding the meaning.

This sounds like a rather inefficient way of learning the language.

Would the friendly downvoters like to share their views on what they disagree with?

This is one of the posts in the last couple of days that prompted me to post this thread.

It’s not a petty matter at all, It’s not possible to formally recognise both countries. RoC has territorial claim over the entire Chinese mainland. The one China policy is the bedrock for every country’s diplomatic ties with China. Americans really are a people obsessed with war.

Do you support the US ceasing diplomatic relations with PRC in favour of ROC and going back to the time before Nixon made rapprochement?

I thought this was a portrait of Adolf Hitler with a pride flag background at first glance 😂
