Sure, whatever, I guess.

The past he wants to RETVRN to never really existed so 2003 is as good a time as any for him to wax poetic about.

Carl Benjamin peaked when he called a press conference and then threw a fit when the press turned up to it and asked questions. Smartest right winger.

It's from, like, the old English for the southern part of Saxon territory. See also Essex, Middlesex, etc.

HMS Bangor is named after the oldest city in Wales. So not quite as absurd a name as whatever the fuck Chiddingfold is.

Thanks for the links comrade.

Can't speak Korean myself so I'm having to rely on the little robot in my phone to tell me what that website says.

Having a little read about though, and it's kinda what I expected - some of the articles on it seem to be arguing for a tighter surveillance state to root out communists and the rest are your typical unsourced defector stories.

Edit: whole lotta reposts of BBC articles.

Edit again: including a story eerily similar to the recent one.

Edit once more: and in contradiction, this.

1/5 of North Koreans have publicly stated they watch K-dramas a crime executable by death and/or hard labour.

That's a reasonable assumption, but the website Trudge linked to in this thread has a timeline of SAND's history that starts in 2017 and ends in 2019 (although the "research" section of the website has links to, like, seminars and shit they've done since and they've maintained a presence on Twitter since 2022, so it's likely they just haven't updated the timeline).

Yo, any folks on here got info about this SAND institute that sourced this video.

Trying to look them up only gives me the BBC article about this video which has this to say about them "This video was provided to the BBC by the South and North Development (Sand), a research institute that works with defectors from the North."

Something deeply sus about this, if you don't mind me donning the tinfoil hat a sec.

"You say Cuba is a democracy, but it's been rated 3/10 burgers by the Freedom Burger Institute (partially funded by the CIA, partially funded by the American Christofascist caucus), check out this Wikipedia page."

Games recently played:

Finally got 'round to playing Control last month, was a big fan of Alan Wake (less so Alan Wake's American Nightmare) so I don't know how this game escaped my attention for so long.

Replaying Hollow Knight, trying to get the secret ending from beating the boss rush.

Picked up Outer Worlds after having not thought about it at all since, like, the week it launched. It's a lot more lib than I remembered. That said, when I helped some trots fix their newspaper then overthrow a socdem the game didn't treat it like a bad ending, so it can't be that bad.

Games I'm anticipating this year:

Avowed - loved PoE 2, curious to see if Obsidian can keep the magic (pun intended) as a first person action RPG thingy.

Treat flow interrupted, billions must die.

but aren't Mind Flayers asexual aberrations who reproduce through literal brain worms?

It's played as a joke with neither the PC or the mindflayer in question have any idea how mindflayers fuck. You get the option grasp one of the face tentacles and hope it's erogenous. That sorta thing.
