The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

I had an online meeting with my career advisor yesterday. A lot of constructive critique on my resume and by this weekend, I should be able to churn out a much better one and finally confident enough to start filing those job applications.

Thank you! :hug:

Yeah, I'm confident that I graduated this time because I actually did, with the results showing that and everything. Last time, I guess the Fate was telling me to fuck off because I was celebrating it, then came the awful meeting about the project, then I failed. Bleh! :P

This time, I made it for the subject I took. Woo!

Here’s something to make you chuckle...

According to an old folktale, a Japanese samurai (Akechi Mitsuhide) allegedly slew his daimyo (Nobunaga Oda) after the former threw the latter’s good tea set into the garden pond following a heated argument. While there are many theories regarding this historic assassination, I love this one...

Heh heh... killing someone for throwing kitchenware in the pond... :lol:

It doesn't specify but it implies the Philippines is looking into investing heavily in renewable energy.

Brilliant! The sky-spanning wings of Nekhbet, Mother Vulture of VegEgypt-Khemet, flap with joy over the wise nations abandoning the poisonous, polluting fossil fuel from the 19th century. Hathor-Bat, our goddess of celebration, throws a continent wide party to celebrate the collapse of the entire fossil fuel market. At least one good thing that came out of 2020.
