Gorbachev wrote his own memoirs about it, which is nice as a primary source. But I dont exactly trust his own reasoning lol

I do genuinely want to read a Marxist analysis of how the Soviet Union fell and the Soviet project ended up fizzling out. Im open to "well the CIA did it" but its a little trite and I suspect there's much more to it than the evil Americans merely tricked everyone. Or Gorbachev was uniquely evil, cause maybe he was or wasnt but no one person can destroy a system.

Ive read a bunch of partial analysis, but never like a book just about the 80s to 90s USSR - and not some imperialist bourgeois criticism either, like an honest Marxist analysis.

By this sign, I banish your realm!

• ~~Parsifal~~Peterson

If I remember his deep lore, he got on an all meat diet and attributes that to panic attacks for which he was prescribed or found someone to get him on, presumably, Ativan. He says he had severe autoimmune response to all meat and drinking cider (he said if he drank cider hed be insomnic for days and days). Anyway, he only started the carnivore only diet thing because his daughter told him to. The same daughter that told him not to listen to his Canadian doctors recommending a benzo taper when he was interested and ready to come off of them, and to instead seek a medically induced coma to skip the frankly shitty feelings of withdrawing and have the taper done I guess without his conscious awareness. So they went to Serbia or Russia and of course its not without risks to do that, so his coma was very long.

His wife did have kidney cancer diagnosis in 2019 and this all happened around that time. But hes Peterson, and I guess he cant just accept he was not coping well with his spouses diagnosis and attributed what he was feeling as reactions to food...

Nothing about the all meat diet or medically induced coma to attempt to skip benzo withdrawals huh

I actually dig no anti aliasing, but its an aesthetic thing now. I like the stepped jaggy ripped edges. I like the low poly look, but I dont know if it has a name like xbox/xbox 360 era? Theres pixel art, theres low poly, but no 360 era aesthetic yet.

Go back to the sea!!! There's nothing out here but mortgages and iphones!!!

Yeah its a fun movie!

It remains so funny to me that one of the reasons adhd meds are so tightly controlled is that theyre considered highly addictive, yet people with adhd apparently routinely forget to take em lol

Your personal profile for careers probably should be on the more positive end, not saying toxic positive or whatever. But it I were to have a profile, Id zhuszh up my profile to be like 10% more positive than I am day to day lol

And maybe you should pick up some hobbies, regardless of if someone else said you should have a personality beyond studies (bit harsh of them to say it like that). I like dancing and partner dancing, and I randomly picked up violin a couple years ago apropos nothing besides wanting to. You can always pick randomly, might help you sleep better if your life had more structure besides study and (seems to mostly be skipping) sleep

Row row row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream~

I gained so much weight since surgery 😩
