subtoot/uspol is worldpol prelude

“So I guess we could go into the US, kidnap Trump and drag him to The Hague.”

This is stupid for two reasons:

  1. Europe is incapable of taking this action. It would never be able to handle the fallout.

  2. This is exactly the kind of world Trump ones. One where foreign territory means nothing and only the might of the powerful matters.

He just wants America to be one of the powerful, and they already have the might.

Every Movie I Watched in 2023

In 2023 I watched a measly 12 movies. That’s not a lot, but one benefit of that is that it means I can quite easily write up a quick review for each of them from memory.

All of these reviews are crossposted on my letterboxd.


1. All My Friends Hate Me

This is Social Anxiety: the Horror Movie.

Is it actually a horror movie? Yes, but no. Is it a comedy? Yes, but no. Is it a character drama? Yes, but no.

Configure GitHub on Termux

Install termux via the f-droid store, the Google Play store has a version of Termux too, but that one is outdated, use f-droid or the github repository releases to install the latest version.

Install Git and openssh

  1. Run the following command to update and upgrade all existing software:
apt update && apt upgrade
  1. Install git and openssh
apt install git openssh

Give Termux access to the local storage

You’ll probably want Termux to have access to the storage of your android device, in order to do that simply use the following command:

The Fiery Tree

The Fiery Tree

There stood a Tree with branches of Fire at the heart of the World. The Tree illuminated the World as far as its light and heat would reach. Beyond the World there was only the Darkness. In the World there was everything, there was all the beauty and happiness there could ever be. All of Nature was there, the plants, the fields, the mountains, the rivers, the beaches, the desserts and all the animals. All of this was lit up by the Tree of Fire that stood in the center. Last of all there was the Man and the Woman to whom the World belonged, even if they did not know it.

The Bureau of Religious Sacrifice

Morris had been standing in line for four hours, he never would’ve guessed getting a human sacrifice was such a hassle.

The Bureau for Religious Sacrifice was known for being the slowest in the whole Department. This was mostly due to the habit of sacrificing their best workers to a variety of gods in the hope of acquiring their favour so they would bless them by speeding up the process. This had proven to be counterproductive.
