I can agree with our esteemed colleague's  >>/54365/ opinion.

 >>/54329/
Sounds super dystopian to me.

 >>/54376/
Yeah. If it was a movie, it'd make the crazy feminists the heroes.

I would rather live in a society with no men than no women. Thought that would be an issue for my own existence but still.

Huh? Why am I chinese?
Well I guess before I was American and that's false too.

> mushrooms growing from a dead tree.
Some good, most bad or inedible so as usual, if you don't know 'em, stay away.
> white and brown-ish
Could be similar to agaricus campestris or a macrolepiota. But just from that description I can't guess.
> do some research online and pick them up if they look good.
By touching a mushroom you don't get poisoned. You can pick one take it home and do a thorough research on it. You can discard it after.
Dig it out carefully and take the whole thing, don't cut it down. Because the shape of the stem can help, and for example the existence of volva (see here:  >>/40533/) can help you exclude many species.
You can gather it into a plastic bag, but one that's made of some kind of cloth, cotton/linen/canvas, would be the best.

t.hanks for the advice Hungarybernd.

Lately, I tried eating raw, dried mushrooms. And..I'm suprised by how good it tastes. I guess I liek mushrooms however I get it.

 >>/54250/
There could be species that edible dried. Those I know and pick I'm fairy sure they don't, they have to be re-hydrated, and cooked. Tho they grind dried mushroom and use it as seasoning, I know with boletes they do. So if chewed properly perhaps it's okay.
Thing is mushroom has a lot of cellulose. And people have a hard time digesting that. If you get tummy ache stop, otherwise it's fine I guess.

arrest of... mp4
(4.27 MB, 592x1280 h264)

Events are unfolding in a completely predictable course. The opposition holds demonstrations but the military and police remain loyal. Maduro is content to sit on a throne of bayonets. Lula and other moderate leftists in the continent have offered negotiations, all of which have so far been rejected by Maduro. Lula is in an uncomfortable position, trapped between losing a longtime regional ally and losing votes for his party. Suggesting negotiations allows his ally to whitewash legitimacy without the PR disaster of directly endorsing Maduro's electoral results, which is precisely what Lula's party did. He has gone so far as to publicly disavow his party's position. Lately he called the Venezuelan regime "very unpleasant" and "authoritarian", but "not a dictatorship", which neither side was pleased to hear.
Negotiations could be a clever move by Maduro. He's done it before, goading the opposition into backing down from confrontation and fooling it with empty concessions. A repeat election would be even better, it would be a second chance to demoralize voter turnout and rig the results. Lula knows this, he's giving his ally a way out. Maybe Maduro will accept under further international pressure. So far he refuses to back down even on a rhetorical level, counting on his coup-proofing measures. The National Guard, Militia and even the colectivo paramilitaries are potential counterweights to Army unrest. Cuban advisors, even a handful of them, keep a watch on suspicious officers. Even then, all of this is a risky bet. Coup-proofing is always perfectly successful until it isn't. Individual officers know popular acclaim or even CIA cash await them if they refuse to disperse demonstrations.

Hispanophone Maduro apologetics resort to cheap claims like the voting tallies already having been submitted to the Supreme Court (whose presiding judge is a card-carrying member of the ruling party) or the release of tallies not being needed at all. Anglophone apologists resort to the beaten litany of color revolution, CIA-backed, upper class oppositionists and so on.
I've watched clips from Maduro's speeches and he's nothing like that. His rhetoric has some classical far left components (fascism, imperialism, bourgeois representative democracy is a lie, we're building a new democracy of the 21st century) but it's a chaotic mix. There's room for religion (reading the Bible, accusing his enemies of Satanism, mentioning the "Venezuelan family", describing himself as in a "spiritual fight between good and evil"), generation shock (uninstalling Whatsapp, attacking tech companies), Palestine-baiting or Jew-baiting (claiming his enemies are financed by international Zionism) and other colorful influences.
A much livelier personality than his defenders. He's funny in a buffoonish, unintentional way. None of Chavéz's charisma.

Also notable are the intelligence and police services running psychological terrorism through heavily edited footage of their arrests of opposition figures. Another bullet point to Venezuela's cyberpunk status. It's not cyberpunk because of purple filters and flashing lights (though these might appear) but from authorities publicizing a crackdown like it's a funny meme. It could even be awe-inspiring if they had a proper production quality.

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/venezuela-politics-hatelaw/
Older news: this regime also relies on "hate speech" to suppress certain kinds of discussion, much like advanced Western democracies. The big difference is that in Venezuela, it's hate speech against individual authorities.

 >>/52325/
Sounds like Lula had to pick between two seats, and he chose sitting on the floor. Vaguely I remember him doing another failure of a balancing act some time ago, no?
> Maduro's rhetoric
He obviously has to refuse fascism. That is always a good move. Then has to claim he is democratic despite not fulfilling the liberal-democratic expectations of the West. Then have to ponder to the Catholic traditions of Hispanics, South Americans; they were always faithful, even commies. Then have to place himself within the geopolitical trends, USA is unfriendly, means have to align against Israel. etc etc. At least that's my impression from your sketch.

 >>/52326/
Hatespeech is ofc silly to begin with. And really if we say can do hatespeech against group X, then surely can be done against group Y. Since it's nonsense there are no rules where to apply.

Memezuela update: half a year has passed since the elections and Maduro's new term has begun. Official electoral authorities have yet to publish 100% results (just the 2nd of August 96.87% counting) and a breakdown of the numbers down to the precint level. They haven't bothered to concoct an explanation for the mathematical magic of their earlier results and the National Electoral Council's website is still down. Relations with Brazil have soured but Lula sent the ambassador to attend the ceremony.

 >>/52329/
> Vaguely I remember him doing another failure of a balancing act some time ago, no?

Might have been his comments on a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine war. He was good enough of a negotiator in his trade union days and decades of domestic and international puffery must have inflated his ego. To some extent he still thinks he can win a Nobel Peace Prize or a permanent seat in the Security Council.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=9DtnNPweNbU

As I noted I wanted to post this for the lyrics. I think it's quite rare. Basically they took events and facts about the radio, the history of Hungarian radio, and weaved it into the lyrics. Am gonna try to do a translation in the following post. It won't be an "artistic" translation ofc, and I want to add couple of notes about what they are referring to.

LGT: A rádió/Szól a rádió (~The Radio/The Radio is On) - lyrics

It was called "broadcasting" and it cost a lot
When the first speaker sat at the microphone
His metallic voice lifted off and flew far
And a listener thought - The test was successful
Note: it was really called "broadcasting" in the beginning, with the English term. Prior to that we had something on the Hungary that can be translated to "telenews" which was an idea of the Hungarian inventor, Puskás Tivadar of the telephone exchange. He imagined that the telephone wasn't just for communication between two parties but a tool for mass communication, and they organized a news service that could be listened via the telephone. It had liek 10K subscriber in the country. Anyway he worked closely with Edison, and I think English/American practices had great impact on telecommunication hereabout.

On the Gyáli street a closed up furniture truck stood
Which served as the first radio studio in '23
And it was served as broadcast fine
When adjutant John Marcal sang a song
Note: this is all true. The first experimental radio station was set up in a furniture transporting truck (it was roomy enough) and it stood on the yard of a post office on the Gyáli street, Budapest. Marcal János was a postal coworker, who was an amateur singer. They thought just reading stuff would be too dry and wanted a colorful insert, so they asked him to sing.

They could note about the radio in '24
That it broadcasted the first concert from the Zoo
And the producers cursed the competition
Which sold the Rhapsody in Blue without profit
Note: The first two lines are about the Zoo of Budapest, which was an important place for community events, and they held concerts there regularly (the Zoo had it's on orchestra as well). This broadcast in 1924 June, was still experimental as far as I know, since "official" radio was started next year.
The lines about the copyright wankery surely is a note about the issue how the IP holders needs to be compensated after their stuff is broadcasted. Rhapsody in Blue was published in 1924.

The amateurs living nearby heard clearly
When the station of Csepel greeted with a Good Morning in '25
All kinds of weird antennas jumped into the air
And a clever student tinkered a detector receiver
Note: as I wrote about the first official station was opened in 1925, at Csepel, a district of Budapest. The rest is about the spread of the radio, and ofc a nod towards the amateurs, enthusiasts who built their own equipment and had important role in the popularization of radio broadcasts.

By the golden age all the speakers had learnt that
Improvisation is forbidded, the written text must be read!
Although only a few knew Skoff Elza and Filotás Lili
All the listeners knew how nice their voice is
The golden age of radio begin in the '30s on the Hungary. I assume it was expected from the anchors to tell the news how they got it on paper. Radio ain't free.
Skoff Elza and Filotás Lili were both presenters the latter a decade earlier from 1931 (at the age 23). Both knew languages - German, French, English typically complemented by some others.

The kids were searching the "uncle" in the box
And the grandmas polished it with wax
The mailmen took from the listeners the tax
Who had to pay the same both for the good and bad news
Note: the "uncle" is a generic term for older men, the kids thought someone is in the box of the radio. Since the box was made of wood and not plastic back then it needed some care, as with all furniture, so they polished them with wax. The tax in this context is the subscription fee, I assume it was kinda like the telly loicense for the Bri'ish. And ofc it was the same amount no matter what was the news.

I skip a verse here because it's just a "radio simulation".

Today we receive it in stereo, and it's good
For one can hear different things from the two sides
The beauty in the sound of the grand orchestra
That you sit in the middle and you listen well, the picture is more clear
Note: it's a not so technical explanation of the stereo sound, since it gives a different perspective, a more natural sounding.

Sometimes it interferes with us, and sometimes machines interfere with them
We put them in our pockets, and if you don't pay mind it will pocket you
In clear weather all broadcasts received clearly
And in the programs the old song can be heard anew
Note: first two lines are word plays I tried to translate doesn't matter, first line is based on the interference ofc.

I got a copy of Duke Nukem's Megaton edition. And I compared it to randy pitchford's cursed version.

It's the exact same thing. Only thing they added were just redone Duke Nukem lines from John St. John. And the Russia/USSR chapter. I have no clue why they got rid of the Megaton edition since they could have added extra content easily to that one ffs.

Apparently it happened more than a year ago, but the case has been "in review" since the video above was revealed. The dude in the floor was a nignog suspected of having participated in a deadly shooting. The police claimed they shot in response after he produced a gun and shot a policeman in a leg. However, this is disputed by other people who believe he was unarmed and the shot came from another police (probably that woman seen in the video)

While looking for that I found vids related.

I'd make fun of you to find -1 a challange but I'm sure I would be the same in -30C. And climbing a mountain 2-3000 ms tall is not nothing. My greatest climb was from 2-300 ms to 900+. Tho I was in the Tatra as a kid and I can't recall the specifics.
In cold being wet is a real dread. Cold itself is meh, but the water just sucks the heat out of a person. So sweating has to be avoided as much as possible - but sometimes it's impossible a change of t-shirt can come in handy in case the worn one is sweated through. When I go for a walk into the woods I often take off my jacket, hat, scarf/shemagh and if I have gloves, and climb in a t-shirt and a hoodie well not counting my pants and boxers, and socks, and boots. Around -1 is an ideal temp for general hiking. No insects, no mud. But I think between +10 and -10 its okay.
A thermos full of warm tea, and a chocolate bar can also make all the difference.
I can't even imagine a first experience you had with cold and ice. Perhaps if I visited the Sahara, that would be similar environmental change.
> We soon figured that ice was immune to cloth but could go away with water from our flasks.
You mean you tried to rub the frost off the car with cloth?

For sure. But you still have to walk on snow, and feel how it crunches under your feet, and wash your face in it.

Sweat was the number one concern all the veterans warned me of, and I brought a spare shirt in my backpack precisely for this reason and I switched into it at the top. I managed to remain mostly dry, the strong winds were a blessing. I spent much of the descent wearing no coat at all, just relying on the sun and a constant pace to keep me warm and the wind to keep me dry. When I saw the dry vegetation and dusty roads around the camp, my instincts told me it was 30 °C, even though it was much colder. 

> You mean you tried to rub the frost off the car with cloth?
Indeed. We also figured trying to forcefully break the ice would be stupid.

A common wisdom here that when going out people should dress layered, so they can shed or put on clothing depending on the need. They never actually tell it how to do it properly and when - because they never actually go out. But the basic truth is in there.
Supposedly wool insulates even when wet. In the past years I read wool and synthetic blends are a good pick for the first layer. I don't know I never tried, all my crap is cotton and cotton/synthetic.
