Send to device should be sending it to the memory of your Kindle. I have a Kobo and that’s how it is for me at least and I don’t think it’d be that different for Kindles from what I understand.

To be fair, climbing up in trees isn’t gonna save you from a bear.
Glad to have you here. Since you’re already reading some books I’d also recommend Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti.
What’s funny is they don’t know what whataboutism is. If someone says “Russia is doing a bad thing” and I reply with “USA is doing that same bad thing”, that’s not whataboutism. I’m speaking about the same topic you are. If I were to say “USA is doing some other bad thing (that wasn’t related at all to that topic” then that would be whataboutism.
No, I would say that in recent memory it was just that book that was like that for me. Without spoiling anything I think it had to do with the book being kind of grounded (within the sci-fi setting it set) and then it just wasn’t.
And yeah I could definitely understand losing interest in that way. You just kind of lose the connection to the book through lack of interaction with it. Not sure if it would work but it could help to go back a couple of chapters and start reading from there to kind of remember what you were reading and feeling earlier.
What’d you think of it? I read it last year cuz it was recommended and I enjoyed the beginning but as the book progressed I got less and less interested.
Patriots, Traitors and Empires: The Story of Korea’s Fight for Freedom by Stephen Gowans is a pretty good book. Been a while since I read it but it was very eye opening and a good read.
He’s still alive but iirc he suffers from dementia.
I’m Lithuanian and the fascism has been bubbling up for a long time. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of people you come across are not fascist but the government itself is a lapdog of the US and pushes fascist rhetoric on the workers through things like the media. They also glorify Nazi collaborators as freedom fighters who fought against the evil Soviets.
I enjoy watching a couple of sports but my main one is basketball. Favorite team is the San Antonio Spurs even though I’m not from that area of the US. Became a fan of them in the early 2010s because I liked their style of basketball back then.
Also I’ll always post “The Beautiful Game” tribute video whenever I have the chance.
It’s not just sleeping a consistent amount but also sleeping at consistent times. Waking up at 5:30 after 8 hours can feel decent if you consistently do it for a bit.
Richard Medhurst talked about this before and recently. I tried to find the original video I saw but could only find his newer one talking about it here. But yes, while Israel would wipe Gaza off the map just for the land, they also want the natural gas off the coast of Gaza so they can build their pipeline to Europe.
Currently reading Open Veins of Latin America. I knew of the exploitation the colonizers and imperialists did but reading the stats and stories of the earlier periods just makes my jaw drop. I also wasn’t aware in the 1800s after Paraguay kicked out the Spanish, they were the only nation in the continent that wasn’t controlled by foreign capital and were pretty self sufficient. Obviously that wasn’t acceptable to the imperialists so the British helped fund Brazil and Argentina to start a war with Paraguay. Paraguay lost and have been under the boot of imperialists since then.
They actually did. Throughout the war, the ROK sent about 300,000 troops to Vietnam to help the anti-communists.
Favorite genres are definitely Rap and RnB but I’ll listen to some house music every once a while. Been getting into Reggaeton and Afrobeat the last couple of years and been liking those a lot.
Obviously you’re free to dislike how genres sound but I feel like that’s an oversimplification of the genre. It’s not just people saying words really fast, there are plenty of slower rappers. It’s more about the flow and the wordplay not to mention there’s a decent amount of artists that do a sing/rap thing at the same time.
The mind is an interesting thing. People are so propagandized about the dprk that something completely normal like a street with people on it looks creepy to them. Doesn’t help that there are videos showing dprk streets on YouTube and they put creepy music over it.
I found this Twitter thread to be useful in explaining some background on the situation.
Damn, that sucks. I literally just finished the Mistborn trilogy on Friday and it has become one of my favorite series. I haven’t had a series I enjoyed like that in like a decade or so. Do you by any chance have links to comments he’s made about Zionism or anything like that?
