It would actually be considered shameful for Darcy to have anything to do with managing his properties or investments — the aristocracy are supposed to keep their hands clean of all that ugliness. It’s a recurrent commentary in the book iirc.
We weren’t racist until the devious Slavs made us so
Technology Connections. I know nothing about that guy, but being able to watch someone with terrible hair talk about washing machines for an hour basically justifies the existence of YouTube imho
theprimeagen is loud and annoying, but he’s been very loudly and annoyingly AI sceptical imo. Ngl I like a lot of his takes wrt coding, but you just know that mf has terrible politics lol
Alright, Charlie Brooker
The workers should be chasing tail, not something something
I feel like the odd one out in this chat ngl because I’ve always found the free RSS feeds of Chapo, TrueAnon et al to be plenty. What’s the deal here?
Oh shit I’m dying fuck
You’re describing a state
Who would enforce it
I would like to see the Hot Club de Paris with a shot of absinthe and a big fat joint
This has long been a bugbear of mine tbh. The discourse is always so incredibly toxic, just reinforcing the same old shaming bullshit. It’s always ‘maybe if you washed, had better beliefs etc etc, someone would have sex with you’ which misses the point entirely.
The protests against the Iraq war were the biggest mobilization of their sort in human history ffs
But our shorthand for, say, Europe’s Middle age doesn’t actually replace anyone’s understanding of European history. Even if people don’t know all that much about it, they’ll understand that the art doesn’t actually communicate much about that cultural or historical reality.
I don’t think this is true at all actually. It’s just different degrees of problematic
One thing I find difficult about orientalism as an aesthetic is that… it kind of slaps, doesn’t it (as acknowledged in that video iirc). It’s not just music either — so many great villains, settings, costumes etc etc. Like, it’s completely understandable and right that you can’t do Ming the Merciless anymore, but… that dude had a thing going on
Maybe it’s because the last couple of GTAs were incredibly boring
It kind of depends on where you want to go tbh. Maybe there are forums or subreddits you can ask wrt the specifics? I did a CELTA in the UK, and then moved to Spain, but different places demand different qualifications. If you just want to get some money together and don’t mind living in hell for a while, look at places like Saudi Arabia.
I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—"An imperious golden bust of some goofy mf, Stands in the desert. . . . "
