Do you think the more conservative elements in the country who are typically using these kind of awards for patriotism points will be glad with her winning, even though she is known for being liberal and "anti-Polish".

The Minister of Culture congratulated her so the government probably will try to bask in her glow a bit, so to speak, but there are already comments from right wing media and pundits that talk about how the Nobel org "has an agenda" i.e. the award is a form of ideological attack on Poland. It's still early but I expect that there will be a bit of a shitshow about this for a while.

By that logic the Nobel committee was okay with Peter Handke's (who was also awarded) defense of far-right Serbian nationalism, which I doubt many would agree. Anyways, moving from the politics, I've read that Tokarczuk has truly elegant prose and it was a deserved award. Both going to European writers doesn't help with the allegations the prizes are slanted to European writers though. I think Cormac McCarthy could use one.

I picked up a copy of No Country for Old Men last time I visited eieio and read Blood Meridian shortly after. I don't think I'm qualified to judge whether McCarthy deserves of a nobel prize but I thought they were pretty great

It's not like evidence wouldn't suggest that you can't argue with logic when it comes to that kind of propaganda poulsen was talking about... Sadly

Found out that a guy I kinda know has become an incel. He's over 6 foot, buff, handsome, played semi-pro hockey and was dating a friend of mine but she broke up with him because he kept calling her a "stacy" who was gonna leave him for a Chad lmaooo

That's both hilarious and sad, how insecure do you need to be to do something like this? Especially when you kinda have a lot in common with a stereotypical "Chad" :thinking:

Sounds like an insecure guy who spent way too much time on 4chan or those incel and Red Pill subreddits.

The only explanation is that he's packing a 3 incher.

Most of the YT dota guides say something like "low mmr pubs never ward/deward", but in all my support games my wards get dewarded very quickly unless I burn a smoke to place them, I'm only like 2,5k mmr wtf

I read Armond White's review of Parasite, which is a movie that has basically reached consensus as a great movie, and man this is one head-up-his-own-ass critic who is desperately seeking to be the biggest contrarian in the room. Not to mention how blatantly upset he is over the class warfare theme because it's too lefty for him.

I wouldn't be surprised if he religiously listens to the Joe Rogan podcast. It's insane how red pilled his audience is, even though he's relatively neutral on things. Go read the comments on the Alex Jones ep he did, it's literally a gold mine of complete morons.
