  • Money wise I once ran a speed lab and lost a couple grand on it after my associate chikened out because his half brother got whacked. But it was fun.

    Overall. I studied for an acounting tecnician in my teenage years. Thats what i regret the most in my life. No human being should go through that. One of the reasons i dont have a college degree is tgat after going through that i sworeupon my soul and upon the mass that i would never again go through anything similar.


  • Honestly this all sounds like arbitrary shit someone made up without proper justification or consideration.

    All forms of goverment have checks and balances. How is this special?

    All forms of goverment are a way to achive consensus amongst the rulling class. How is this different?

    Why is this separation of powers the ideal one?

    Why separate the legislative and the judiciary when there is a rich tradition of common law?

    Why cant the executive act by commitie or in a decentralized way?

    Are these “powers” actually autonomus or arbitrary constructions dependent on other institutions to act?

    Why are these considered the central responsabilities of the state? Why cant the legislature and the judiciary be separate from the state like in the abassid era?

    Why cant a workers party be a branch?











  • Taras bulba. the american version focuses way too much on the love story. The sets are awfull. Taras does not even get burned at the stake.

    The russian verssion is better. But it still misses the point. It plays it straigth while the book is suposed to be satire. They kill his wife at the begining using it as a justification for the war, when she should die at the end as a consequence of taras being an ass.

    The point of the book is to show that the myths of the russian frontiersman are bullshit, because if they really acted like taras does they would all get whiped out.

    Gogol is still an arch reactionary and you can tell he geuinley beleves some of the things he is moking. So its suposed to have a silly ironic self mocking sligthly nhilist tone. Remininicent of a lot of stuff in the internet. But both adaptations play it straigth and pay too much atention to the polish girl.
