Making reading a daily habit was one of the best thing I've done. I used to avoid reading books like plague, but by reserving some of my time daily to just read helped me get used to it.

I recommend pretty much anything from Michael Parenti, but my favourite so far is Inventing Reality. I find his books also to be easy to read, which might help.

Btw if you'd like to change your doomscrolling habits into doomreading, The Divide by Jason Hickel goes into unequal development and ends talking about climate change, and how doomed we are.

As a Finn I literally got told in school that Winter War was a "defensive victory" for Finland.

Is there an English speaking YouTube channel about exploring China ? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I've been seeing videos from Sabbatical. He's from the US and seems to understand China from a typical anticommunist worldview, but he's most likely well-meaning and respectful of Chinese people and culture.

He's just like me fr in c/[email protected]

Russia halts Ukrainian offensive and goes on the attack in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago

Russia asking help from North Korea was always less about Russia being desperate and more about 2 sanctioned countries finding themselves in the same team. Ukraine has been asking help too, but media does not interpret that as being desperate.

A Fortress Farm has been constructed (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I've been taking a break, but recently came back to finish a Fortress farm I had been constructing. It took a while and there is still potential with some spawnproofing and an item sorting system.

To find it, go into nether from main city portal, climb ladder up to the new hub, and boat (or walk?) the northern ice highway. The highway will turn west after like 1000 blocks. Remember to bring a good sword with you.

If you ever find a place in the nether where there is a lot of nether brick slabs placed, you've probably found the farm. Please do not remove them. They are there to spawnproof the area. Thank you.

The developing/underdeveloped countries have been made reliant on foreign investment trought colonialism and coups, making them have no choice but to agree to loan terms. These terms ironically strip away the same ways to develop that modern rich countries used to develop themselves, like high tariffs and infant industry protection.

By market logic the poorer countries then have to compete for investment by cutting wages and social programs. The rich countries can instead subsidise food production, enjoy safety nets and bail out their companies in economic downterms. This doesn't even touch the unequal exchange between the poor and the rich.

Stepping out of line is not an option. The IMF, World bank and WTO have made that clear

7 Beacons have been hidden in the city (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Since my nether fortress farm has already produced a fair amount of wither skeleton skulls and I had no use for them, I decided to just turn them into beacons and put them in the recourse center. But then I had an idea: Why not make it more interesting?

So... 7 beacons are now hidden in the city. They are in places where you can go without having to mine any blocks. Have fun trying to find them all. The finder can keep their found beacons (just maybe don't take them more than what you need). Reminder that you can mine them without a pickaxe/tool.

Industrial projects, that I, out of the goodness of my heart let everyone else use as well. (lemmygrad.ml)
 

In the picture above, you can see a recently built tree farm. It's not universal. It's designed to only work on Birch, spruce and recently oak trees. Right now its running on a very low amount of bonemeal, so I recommend bringing a good amount of it with you if you're going to use it.

In the picture below there's a supersmelter for larger amounts of smelting. There is a lectern next to them for instructions/info. Both projects can be found at my base, found through the main nether portal. In nether, there is a deepslate road leading to a portal at -150 -125. Coming from the nether follow the ice highway in the sky (seen in second picture). Specific overworld coordinates: -1150 -800.
