This might be a good opportunity to do some self-reflecting on your beliefs about the DPRK! When you observe that objective facts don’t line up with your perception of this country, the correct thing to do is not to say “how can I twist what I’m observing into an explanation that will leave my perception unchallenged”; it’s to say “perhaps my perception of this country is flawed” and re-evaluate

Both film versions of Solaris, though for vastly different reasons. Lem’s original novel is super dry and hard sci fi, like most of Lem’s work, which isn’t my favorite kind of sci fi. Both films really delve into the fascinating psychological questions of the situation Kelvin finds himself in. The Tarkovsky version is the best, unsurprisingly, since Tarkovsky is the GOAT, but I also really enjoy the Soderbergh version with George Clooney. The latter is hollywoodized compared to the Soviet version, but still is a really interesting and gorgeous movie

I think Elden Ring would be a good place to start since it’s the one that lets you customize your difficulty the most.

If you read more of Che’s letters, you’ll see that that one is written in exactly the same style as the rest of his letters, both those intended for only one person and those he knew would be shared. I think you’re overstating the nature of Fidel and Che’s disagreement; there were some ideological disagreements but I don’t think there’s any evidence to suggest that Che leaving Cuba to foment revolution had anything to do with his relationship to Fidel

It’s slow going since I haven’t yet found a laser cutter large enough to accommodate the schematics I have. I have the materials, though. I’ve never played one

If you know me long enough, I’ll reveal my long-standing project of building a hurdy-gurdy

I use AntennaPod currently, still works great
