I wrote a book too. Unfortunately nobody bought it but it's still nice to have written one. Best of luck to your dad- it can be a frustrating but ultimately feel-good endeavour.
You should definitely try to ask him about it from time to time. Nobody really took an interest in mine, which was a bit of a downer.
EDIT: Man I feel foolish now. I wasn't expecting this to garner traction or interest. If anybody wants to check out the book, here it is https://www.amazon.com/Fallen-World-Dark-Enemy-Saga-ebook/dp/B07VGLX7CP/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 however please PM me and I'll happily send it to you free of charge.
The Amazon pricing should be $0.99, I don't know why it is showing as $3.44. Alternatively if you wait 24 hours it should drop to $0.99.The book is now at 0.99 cents on the Amazon site.You can also read a short I wrote http://www.siemery.com/humanity/ to decide if you love or hate my writing.
> The sugar skull tradition comes from the Aztecs.
> fancy skeletons and skulls are popular in our culture because we celebrate death (per the aztecs)
Just a small correction for anyone who is perusing this thread. This is a fun just-so story that a lot of people have come to believe (many Mexicans included, unfortunately) but this is a modern, urban legend. It stems from problematic narratives invented in the 19th and 20th century regarding fatalistic views on indigeneity and mestizaje against colonialism (see: Death and the Idea of Mexico, by Claudio Lomnitz.)
I always feel it necessary as a Mexican myself to push back against this narrative (that our department of education, who absolutely knows better, continues to teach despite pushback from modern academics and scholars.)
The fact is, anthropologists and archaeologists know very little about the nature of rituals and cults in prehispanic Mesoamerica; much of what people think actually comes from 20th century political propaganda.
To quote the Mexican philosopher, Roger Bartra (who coined the concept of a post-Mexican condition, see: Blood, Ink, and Culture: Miseries and Splendors of the Post-Mexican Condition)
> The intellectual class in twentieth-century Mexico appropriated the cult of death as it was first celebrated within popular culture, making of the idea of death a symbol of nationalism: Mexicans' “indifference to death” is an invention of modern culture.
> The fact that León-portilla’s Moctezuma accepts “fatalmente” the arrival of the Spaniards suggests that León-portilla, too, finds himself inspired (or perhaps trapped) in one of mid-century Mexico’s most prominent and more labyrinthine mythologies: death itself.
In his critique of historian León-Portilla's work, he points out that after the independence from Spain (and the later civil war), the desire to connect modern Mexican society back to pre-hispanic origins was a useful political tool to create an artificial Mexican national identity out of the antiquated caste system it sought to replace.
While it's tempting to trace the narrative of the “special relationship between Mexico and death” back to the Aztec triple-alliance, it's unfortunately ahistorical & propagandistic.
The overly politically correct writing was lampooned in 1994 in this short amauzing book: https://www.amazon.com/Politically-Correct-Bedtime-Stories-Storybook-ebook/dp/B004BA5EV0
> One day an invitation arrived at their house. The prince was celebrating his exploitation of the dispossessed and marginalized peasantry by throwing a fancy dress ball. Cinderella’s sisters-of-step were very excited to be invited to the palace. They began to plan the expensive clothes they would use to alter and enslave their natural body images to emulate an unrealistic standard of feminine beauty.
> When the day of the ball arrived, Cinderella helped her mother- and sisters-of-step into their ball gowns. A formidable task: It was like trying to force ten pounds of processed nonhuman animal carcasses into a five-pound skin. Next came immense cosmetic augmentation, which it would be best not to describe at all.
> Dang, I'm a white guy dating a biracial woman (black/white). People definitely read her as just "black"
It goes back a few hundred years and we've never shaken it. Laws dating from 17th-century colonial America excluded children of at least one black parent from the legal status of being white. Laws defined all people of some African ancestry as black, under the principle of hypodescent. Some 19th-century categorization schemes defined people with one black parent (the other white) as "mulatto," with one black grandparent as "quadroon" and with one black great grandparent as "octoroon." The latter categories remained within an overall black or African-American category.
> I've heard all these comments before (not often but it happens) and things get more complicated when she mentions she's mixed race.
It's so sad too, because race isn't anything scientific, we invented it. And being "white" is an invention of America. In France, "black" people think of themselves as French. When immigrants came to America they weren't white, they were Polish and German and Dutch and so on. Irish immigrants, who were so oppressed in the North that their treatment would be considered the original sin of America if not for slavery in the South, were not considered "white" until the Civil War. And for Italians it came much later:
> When Italians poured into America in the late 1800s and early 1900s, they were not considered white upon arrival. Italians, Greeks, Poles, Hungarians, Slavs and other European groups, at the time called “new immigrants,” sought to overcome their subordination by showing, through their behavior, to be deserving of being considered white. In 1911, Henry Pratt Fairchild, an influential American sociologist, said about new immigrants, “If he proves himself a man, and … acquires wealth and cleans himself up — very well, we might receive him [consider him white] in a generation or two. But at present he is far beneath us, and the burden of proof rests with him.” Economist Robert F. Forester wrote in 1924, “in a country where the distinction between white man and black is intended as a distinction of value … it is no compliment to the Italian to deny him his whiteness, but that actually happens with considerable frequency.”
And a little more...
> The construction of the "white race" in the United States was an effort to mentally distance slaveowners from slaves. The process of officially being defined as white by law often came about in court disputes over pursuit of citizenship. The Naturalization Act of 1790 offered naturalization only to "any alien, being a free white person". In at least 52 cases, people denied the status of white by immigration officials sued in court for status as white people.
If this is a topic you're interested in I highly recommend reading "Female Chauvinist Pigs" it's an easy, fun read and in some places opened my eyes to how I was perpetuating misogyny. It also hit on the 'cool girl' trope before Gillian Flynn wrote that paragraph.
Eat your heart out people.

Fair enough that definitely happens. I've got a well trained dog that never does that to strangers, but to me she must think she is 20 lbs sometimes. I love it because she is unconditionally loving. I think the main point with both of our points is you should train your dog well so it doesn't freak. I still think little dogs bark much more compared to large dogs in general, but I do have a neighbor dog that is large and barks at the damn wind. They would let it out at 6 AM until 10ish and it would bark non stop. I spoke politely to them and they basically told me to kick rocks. For anyone interested this thing has worked absolute wonders. Dog barks one time and I guess the high frequency annoys it enough to stop it.
My "steelseries" mousepad is pretty nondescript other than the logo in the lower left. It's not small, and I think there are larger versions available. Do recommend.
Now just imagine the plight of the neckbeard gamer: you want a large mousepad, but you also want to nestle your wrist in the sweet comfort of anime boobies (or the booty).
Probably Unrelated: I looked at the "also viewed" items and hahaha holy shit.
Communists are good. Exhibit A. Thomas Sankara
And again
He led one of the most ambitious programs of sweeping reforms ever seen in Africa It sought to fundamentally reverse the structural social inequities inherited from the French colonial order.
These inequities left a majority of marginalized, mostly rural, poor and women, at the bottom of society, often under the exploitation of a minority of bureaucrats, businessmen, military officers and traditional chiefs. Sankara focused the state’s limited resources on the marginalized majority in the countryside. When most African countries depended on imported food and external assistance for development, Sankara championed local production and the consumption of locally-made goods. He firmly believed that it was possible for the Burkinabè, with hard work and collective social mobilization, to solve their problems: chiefly scarce food and drinking water.
In Sankara’s Burkina, no one was above farm work, or graveling roads–not even the president, government ministers or army officers. Intellectual and civic education were systematically integrated with military training and soldiers were required to work in local community development projects.
According to Ernest Harsch, author of a recent biography of Sankara, Burkinabe built for the first time scores of schools, health centers, water reservoirs, and nearly 100 km of rail, with little or no external assistance. Total cereal production rose by 75% between 1983 and 1986. In 1984, his government, defying skepticism from the donor agencies, organized the vaccination of 2 million children in a little over two weeks. He also championed environmental conservation with tree-planting campaigns and greening projects.
His informal style of leadership was in a league of its own. Harsch quotes a former aide describing Sankara as “an idealist, demanding, rigorous, an organizer.” This discipline and seriousness started with himself. He had been first among top leadership to voluntary declare his modest assets and hand over to the treasury cash and gifts received during trips. Harsch quotes family members as saying that Sankara told them not to expect any benefits from him because he is president. In fact, by the time of his death, his kids attended the same public school, his wife was reporting to the same civil servant job, and his parents lived in the same house.
Sankara disdained formal pomp and banned any cult of his personality. He could be seen casually walking the streets, jogging or conspicuously slipping into the crowd at a public event. He was a rousing orator who spoke with uncommon candor and clarity and did not hesitate to publicly admit mistakes, chastise comrades or express moral objections to heads of powerful nations, even if it imperiled him. For example, he famously criticized French president François Mitterand during a state dinner for hosting the leader of Apartheid South Africa.
Books by Sankara:
We are the heirs of the world's revolution
Women's liberation and the African freedom struggle
Thomas Sankara Speaks
A quote from the book - " Our country produces enough to feed us all. Alas, for lack of organization, we are forced to beg for food aid. It’s this aid that instills in our spirits the attitude of beggars. " -Thomas Sankara
" The revolution and women’s liberation go together. We do not talk of women’s emancipation as an act of charity or because of a surge of human compassion. It is a basic necessity for the triumph of the revolution. Women hold up the other half of the sky. " - Thomas Sankara.
Sankara is often referred to as "Africa's Che Guevara." Sankara gave a speech marking and honoring the 20th anniversary of Che Guevara's 9 October 1967 execution, one week before his own assassination on 15 October 1987
I eat 100% cacao paste--zero sugar--and it's delicious. edit to add link
I don't even like dark chocolate that's 90%, because it just isn't as good as the pure cacao. Sugar is an addictive substance, getting it out of my diet was the best thing I ever did for myself.
Edit 2: Why would you vomit after you've processed the beans? Just curious.
If you'd like to learn how to implement vaccines in a safe manner, I suggest this book:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1603588248/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8
He explains the problem with the current vaccine schedule and teaches you, with facts and science, how to implement vaccines in a way that is safe for your loved ones.
Ha ha, yeah. That's when you just need to teach them to confine themselves. Honestly, best 30 I ever spent was on this bunny clock I found on amazon. Still keeps my 3 year olds bedtime routine to 10 minutes and keeps him from getting up at 5am. It's just light up pictures and it's as simple as: bunny is awake, your awake. Bunny is asleep, you stay the fuck in bed. I never thought it would work, but after 3 or 4 days of correcting him with "hey, the bunny is asleep, why are you out of bed" it worked incredibly well. Every kid is different, but you never know. https://www.amazon.com/Claessens-Kids-KidSleep-Classic-Improved/dp/B019DO5GS4/ref=asc_df_B019DO5GS4/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=198101723026&amp;hvpos=1o1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=16065928808396663330&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9019669&amp;hvtargid=pla-390806151262&amp;psc=1
No, those are similar but if you want something to make your clothes smell nice, these:
https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Sheep-Premium-Reusable-Softener/dp/B00GA9P5P0
You can put a few drops of essential oil in them and they'll smell up your clothes all nice and when the scent wears off you just reload them.
Not OP but I use a coffee sock (basically this kit: https://www.amazon.com/CoffeeSock-ColdBrew-Reusable-Organic-KIT64/dp/B00L7478JE/) and it works great.
Yep, I'm actually pretty certain the person bought these and painted the logo on them.
Lets see:
2 - Unspecified color lightstrips. (we'll say Hue for simplicity) - 89.99x2
1 - Big-ass U-shaped desk. - very very variable. (I got mine for $10) Lets say 200.00
4 - Monitors probably about 120.00x4
1 - Large Imperial Shuttle figure. At this resolution it's impossible to see which one, but none of them are particularly cheap so lets say it is this one. 500.00
1 - PC. Specs are impossible to know, but he attached glowing shit all over the inside, so he either built it himself or bought it from an overpriced PC-build company. Either way it is definitely > 1000.00
1 - Mouse/Keyboard. I can't really make them out, but they don't look either mechanical or colorful. So probably pretty standard. 20.00
2 - ForceFX lightsabers. Assuming these are standard models that's 1000.00+
1 - Computer Chair. 80.00+
This is a very low-res photo, so I can't make out anything else and a lot of this is guesswork taken from the perceived 'average' you might pay for it. It could be much higher. But this gives us a total of:
89.99+89.99+200+120+120+120+120+500+1000+20+1000+80=3,459.98
So yeah, 3000+ worth of stuff in this picture, and most of that value is coming from the nerdy shit.
Pretty easy to figure out if you just unplug one.
Also if you used those 3 cables for Wii instead of the 5 you totally did it wrong.
Here ya go, OP.
Good luck cooking with the kids.
