>>22892 >Milei's policies don't work in Argentina hehe

>>22862 >>22887 Most were just tired of the Joe Biden economy and due to Kamala being his VP they assumed that she would effectively be an extension of that. Also the economy and general vibe from 2016-covid was much better and people thought it was a return to normalcy. Admittedly I fell for the exact same trick!

I am still with Trump, he is so fuckin based

>>23024 >Admittedly I fell for the exact same trick! What? We all know he promised to get rid of inflation. We know that inflation was due to the covid crisis. Trump sat on his hands during covid, did nothing to prevent it from spreading, cost a ton of people their jobs, did a big money hand out where rampant fraud occured, then turned the economy over to Biden with tremendous inflation. And then he came back and said he would get rid of inflation??? That isn't even possible... How could anything think he would be good for the economy?

>>23025 Thats really low bait. You should try harder.

>>21194 By all accounts one of the stupidest people alive. Jews often did this in Communist movements, by the way. Once people cottoned on after the 1918 - 1920 communist takeover attempts that Communist = Jew, they would front their organizations with stupid brutes like Thalmann who had impeccable working class crefentials and who were pliable enough to control. Literally a golem, and as such, he should be considered Jewish by proxy.

>>20779 Alien invasion, but Europeans are the aliens sounds fun. Especially written by a Chinese, a man from a high culture, not some African mud hut dweller that wouldn't even have words for half of the things that happened.

>>22300 well, it was more from the point of view of simple peasants when China was pretty backwards, so they were totally overpowered and astonished the book itself is quite nice though: like magic realism with Chinese legends interwoven into the plot, and it follows it from the start of the 20th century through Mao's times, and then to capitalism

>>20779 Was the book Red Sorghum? Sounds pretty interesting, and maybe I'd even learn something about our future Chinese overlords that will be helpful.

>>22991 >Big Breasts and Wide Hips this one

>>22872 She doesn't have money problems anymore.

>>22994 It was only a secret until a couple of months after the first book. The "Cormorant Strike" series by her pen name Robert Galbraith now has eight novels. Kinda interesting how new authors never seem to learn from established authors not to use their real names from the start. Probably some pride thing that only becomes a burden later in life and only for those who actually have success.

>>22872 >Why won't Rowling write anymore Harry Potter bokos? Because luckily she's intelligent enough to know when to quit.

>>22977 They control the issuing of the coin and banks.

>>23001 Since wizard Britain uses a different currency from muggle Britain, while not having a central bank or ministry of economy (that would set monetary policy in the absence of a central bank), we must assume that private goblins run banks such as Gringotts issue currency and have a reserve, probably through a deal with the ministry.

>>22689 Not everyone can be as savage as you. Some people can only drink in the company of others. Other people only drink at the company they work at. Everyone is different, but they all drink.

>>22701 A lot of people don't drink actually.

>>22702 But the ones who drink do.

It's bad wine but tastes OK because all the added crap. Not the worst headache juice, but worse than most wine.

>>22506 I guess you don't get Perlenbacher Strong 7.9% in Funland Lidl because the alcoholic type of fun is very strictly regulated? It costs, just to make you jealous, I think 0.65€ on the Germany.

This weeks winner winner is "King Khan & BBQ Show - Invisible Girl" Good album. Due to a lack of interest, "The Coffinshakers" has been removed from the program for the time being. New in the poll: Songhoy Blues - Résistance (2017) Desert Blues. A while back we had the Album "Kel Tamasheq" by the band "Terakaft" on the stream, which had the same Genre. Desert Blues has an incredibly interesting history. In the 1980s, Muammar Gaddafi recruited numerous Tuareg as mercenaries, and as nomadic people, the Tuareg had their first real contact with Western music in the military training camps. The first bands that were called "Desert Blues" often consisted of Tuareg who had met in such a camp. While Songhoy Blues is also categorized as Desert Blues, the members themselves are not Tuareg but Malians and the people they belong to are called Songhoy. The Songhoy are a minority in Mali. Their first album was called Music In Exile and was released after the group fled their hometown because the Islamist movement "Ansar Dine" took over Timbuktu during the Mali War, in which the Tuareg were also involved. I started reading and it just went on and on and on and there's no end in sight. It's nice that Europe is so simple. Apart from an Iggy Pop feature, the album's lyrics are in the Songhoy language. Good album Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oM3WD6aba0 Man Man - Six Demon Bag (2006) Experimental rock with a variety of instruments, although the piano usually dominates. In any case, a very diverse album. Great album! Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfW03Qzjlnw Ghost Funk Orchestra - A Song For Paul (2019) Ghost Funk Orchestra started as a solo project and then evolved into a band. Genre-wise, we're roughly in the direction of funk, rock, and jazz. Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed8k8srGdDQ The poll for next week: https://poll.fm/16256264 As always, we start at 18:00 Germany time

No stream today

In 15 minutes substitute album stream with the Ketzerfetzer. Topic: tbd

Alea iacta est: Today we will listen to [i]Rid Of Me[i] by [i]Polly Jean Harvey[i], who some non-knowers might know as Nick Cave's ex. Did some good music by herself though. As usual we start with some uplifting music; the main programme will start at around 6:15 Germany time and will end at about 7.

The tag fail was intentional by the way, just for some humor. I swear. Selfsage is not for epically failing.

>>21047 Polish culture is based on dignity and competence. But not many people are effectively dignified and competent and when you fail it you end up looking quiet autistic

After Newfies (people from Newfoundland), Polish-Canadians are the nicest people I've met/known. They are polite and modest.

I have never met a Pole or a Fin.

suomi on paras :DDD

Whats your opinion on katyn? Based or cringe?

>>21399 >the other one is about one of the most chilling cases of alien abduction. Fixed.

a question to the French or Bernds who read this guy Boualem Sansal so read that he was finally freed from Algeria recently, while never have heard about him before so my question: is he a legit modern author? with this acclaim in France and internationally. also with his anti-clerical position seems like me kind of guy

A book about the political history of the Russian Orthodox Church. I don't like the writing style.

>>22881 pic says worlds

I’m not a computer scientist so I have to look up a lot of words, therefore even on a basic level, I still learning new concepts.

Wouldn't really matter. I'ma schizo myself also.

I'm schizo too.

seriously speaking, that's like a sentence here: everybody finds out immediately - I mean employers and such - and you are doomed out of the normal life t. have an acquaintance who had been diagnosed in her 30s, poor soul she is

>>22903 One reason I'll never see a psychologist. I don't need the special label that badly.

Inform him that you're a Mossad agent

>>22834 Keyboards are tools to professional programmers and professionals don't get "nice" tools because they're not status objects to them but things they use and break.

>>22919 There are more reasons to get nice tools than getting them as status objects. Usually because they work better, last longer, or feel nicer. I dare you to get ans mechanical keyboard with blue switches and tell that it does not feel much nicer to type with it.

>>22927 >Usually because they work better, last longer, or feel nicer. They don't. That's just your mind trying to justify the purchase as something else than vanity.

>>22930 I've never seen a professional use anything but top brand tools. At home you'll find all the no-name stuff from chinesium to decent quality, but only dentists will get the Bosch blue line stuff for their home, or full set of PB Swiss Tools screwdrivers for 5 bucks a piece. Yet all professionals do. How come?

No but I would say my set ups is quiet ergonomic as it is. I use a regular mouse but I am on a lounge and I rest my elbow on a book to raise it so that it's actually straight with the mouse.

>>22832 She just needs to marry and have kids or nobody in our family will.

>>22833 ües, i get that but poland has different ideas

>>22814 Do it yourself.

How can someone research family history?

>>22868 I'm using Ancestry.com, but it's heavily Anglo oreinted. Though they do often go into other areas but they don't have as many records on them. AI is also helpful funnily enough.
