The foundation of colonialism/imperialism is the heavy imbalance of power. The relationship between countries is about as consensual as was Andrew Tate’s with his cam models.

You can usually find English movie showings. Either in proper theaters, or sometimes in public centers, game cafes, etc. You can look those up on ig/fb/local boards. From my experience people there are pretty open to socializing. Smaller shows for international bands can also work. And just stuff that’s not too reliant on language in the first place - gym, sport activities/events, food festivals.
If you are experiencing alienation that strongly, there are definitely other people who are in the same boat and are looking for new connections.
Holy fucking copium. The entire thing is “we’re only interested in our national and strategic interests, but that’s actually good for both parties”.
The year began with the relationship at a historic low point. A year ago this week, a Chinese spy balloon traveled across the United States
Lmao
Unironically “but the other choice is worse!”. The democrats have been doing literally the same shit that republicans did (police funding, title 42, Roe v Wade, willow project, rail strike blocking, sinophobia, etc). And even the little good they’ve done, like the student loan freeze and forgiveness, infrastructure bill, build back better/inflation reduction act, are not really their campaign focus. So we’re just doing the 2020 election 2: electric boogaloo.
I can only comment on the shitty mic part. There’s a lot that can be done with software processing - leveling volume, cutting static and background noise, adjusting the sound of your voice. I recommend VSTHost with reaper plugins. The two really useful ones are:
reagate - noise gate. It cuts audio below a certain threshold. Great for random noises in the back, mouth sounds, etc. Here is a good explainer on how to use it.
reaeq - equalizer. You can tune out ambient sounds, level your voice frequencies, and compensate for all the weird things that cheap mics do. There’s a bunch of youtube videos on how to set up a good baseline for voice recording, and from there you can adjust by feel.
This image further proves that the main difference between anarchists and commies is showering habits.

Of the 25 largest cities, 20 saw increases in their police budgets from FY 2019 to FY 2022. Twenty-one of these cities are run by Democrats.
There’s no other hand. Trans representation in the media is good. What is this gamer gate take?
Project 2025, lets go babyy.
In many regards it’s worse. Chinese schools are extremely individualistic and competitive, as well as centered around teachers’ authority. They’re exam/test oriented, especially closer to the OG “first tier” cities. After each one of those exams the ranking of all students is published, and if you’re outside of the top 20% you are pretty much considered a failure. This puts an insane amount of pressure on students. Since 2010 the suicide rates have been steadily decreasing for general population and for age groups 25+, while for younger people, and especially for the 5-14 group they have been rising significantly.
Or women. Or LGBTQ+ people.

The genocide, and moreso the ethnic displacement have always been the main side-quest in the Israel project. Displaced Palestinian people strain the social systems at the neighboring, non-friendly Middle Eastern countries. And eventually this leads to the rise of militant, often fundamentalist extremism. On October 7 the US seized the chance to do this at an incredibly accelerated pace. And create a pathway to spike a full-on war in the region to get those sweet fresh war dollars babyy.
Like they could give any fucks about that. The latest yearly UNGA resolution condemning the embargo against Cuba was 185:2:2. The US and Israel opposed, Ukraine and Brazil (under Bolsonaro) abstained.
We look and live like other white people - we deserve to bomb and kill without public outcry like white people.
That’s not even true, which only makes it worse. 45% of the Israeli Jews are Mizrahi (of Middle Eastern/African origin) and 32% are the originally European Ashkenazi. Half of the Jewish population looks the same as Arabs. That’s why the West Bank has to have different colored license plates, different forms of IDs and permits that are checked at the checkpoints on every step. Because otherwise the occupying military literally wouldn’t be able to distinguish who to protect and who to oppress.
If you live in a legalized place - see if you can get CBG stuff. There are some concentrates and edibles, as well as more CBG-heavy strains. There’s research that shows promise with ADHD symptoms, and anecdotally it has a mood uplifting effect without fucking you up.
That really sucks then, I’m sorry to hear it. Since you’ve already tried (and should keep trying) different traditional methods, have you looked into psychedelics? I personally have had good lasting results with psylocibin, and there are now avenues for MDMA and ketamine therapy for depression.
The feelings you described are pretty much a textbook definition of depression. I would strongly suggest seeing a psychiatrist and basically showing them this post. Not only because there are many options of effective medication that exist today, but also because depression is often comorbid with other mental conditions.
The longer you exist in this state, the harder it becomes to come out of it on your own. Mental health professionals exist specifically to help and guide you through it.
