tfw Rex Tillerson claims that he needs more time to research if Vladmir Putin is a war criminal, despite the company he worked for having gone on record for many years as opposing sanctions against Russia.

 

 

 

 

http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/1/11/14237748/tillerson-exxon-russia-lobbying

 

the link is almost certainly a shitty read, but is confirmed that Tillerson and the company lobbied against the sanctions. The other link I read and ended up closing remarked on how Tillerson's statement before congress is perjury and precludes him from being a cabinet member. tldr: tillerson either didn't know (incompetent) that his company lobbied against the sanctions or he lied directly about the multiple times his company has lobbied in that direction. In either case, he is unqualified to run or oversee US operations, domestic or overseas.

 

Obvious PSA - Trump is a sociopath and a con artist. Do not trust this A-hole. Over these next 4 years, I will proclaim "I told you so!" over and over as the situation demands.

 

Edit:

 

 

 

here

In 14:22, Secretary Gates proclaims Tillerson knowledgeable of foreign affairs and geopolitics... but as seen in the other video link,  he has no idea or opinion of how Putin has deployed the Russian army and thus cannot form an informed opinion on Putin. Which means he is NOT knowledgeable of foreign affairs and politics AT ALL. A clever man would say "If such a thing were proven true, I would be against such a man." Instead, he claims ignorance instead of citing evidence to the contrary (of which there seems to be none).

 

tbh, I'm watching this as I post, because I care for the precise wording and context of this hearing. I'm a linguist like that. And this is a 10 hour hearing. Ladies and gentle germs, this is a long ride with the future in the balance. If nothing else, you should watch and listen to what is promised... and ask "How?"

 

 

Edit:

 

Wow, this is a lot of talking. But my ears pricked up at around 41:17 where the speaker confirms that Trump disregards the consensus of 17 independent intelligence agencies who say that Putin interfered in our elections in an unprecedented way.

 

"The same president to whom you may report to has also made it clear that he may ignore Putin's invasion of Ukraine, his illegal annexation of Crimea, his illegal interference in Syria where Russia's forces partnered with Iran, Hezbollah, and Shiia militia to shift battlefield momentum toward a dictator guilty of war crimes. Russia itself is culpable of warcrimes for its backing of Ishar Assad (sp?), who has starved, barrel bombed, and tortured the Syrian people into submission... And yet, president elect Trump may take quick steps to make Putin an ally of the United States Of America."

 

"... so I'm troubled on many of these issues that Exxon appears, under your leadership, seems to push in the opposite direction (of human rights).

tfw you're really not satisfied with your 3 midterm exam essays (all for the same class, btw), but you did 'em last minute and the deadline is coming up in a few more minutes so you say fuck it, wrap it up, and submit it online.

shoulda given it more time but there's no point to worrying about it now.

tfw the minimum word count for a written response that counts as a 'substantial post' (as well as other requirements for said designation) under grading criteria requiring is 250 words.

 

And when you word count your response, the result is 1,121 words and reference at least three other people whose views we've studied so far this semester.

 

I guess the good thing about philosophy is that you can ramble on and explore your thoughts and resulting conflicts and seeming paradoxes along the way and it counts towards bringing up new questions (especially if you don't stop to answer them yourself) or points of discussions and can likewise respond to other students' posts and attempt to answer their questions with your own musings and own experiences. Questions, examples, counter-examples and ambiguity. You just have to think about things and give your reasons why it lead to you that tangent or conclusion.

 

I'm usually so succinct, too...

tfw when you get to a famous scene to help illustrate (some) ambiguity. Anybody seen A Few Good Men?

@Kyoyoyoyoyoyoyo and @SHIA

But that other feel when one of your friends takes you to see a really good movie. And today is the last day they're showing it in theaters.

It's an anime movie called "Your Name" (Anata No Namae Ha).

It's landmark in at least one respect as the highest selling movie of its kind in Japan. Which then got limited screening over here. I hadn't even heard of it before going to go see it myself.

But hell, it was really worth watching. I tagged Kyoyo because he could probably watch it is pick apart all the things the movie does right... and Shia because of the way it relates to dreams, like waking up with a powerful emotion from a dream you can't remember.

 

Idk where you can find a non-spoilery synopsis but here's an edited version of what's on wikipedia:

 

Mitsuha, a high school girl living in the town of Itomori in Japan's mountainous Hida region, is bored of country life and wishes she were a handsome Tokyo boy. With her grandmother and younger sister, she makes kuchikamizake sake.

Mitsuha begins switching bodies intermittently with Taki, a high school boy living in Tokyo. Their memories of each swap fade quickly, similar to dreams. They realize the experiences are real when their friends and family tell them they have acted strangely recently. They begin to communicate by leaving notes in Mitsuha's notebook and memos on Taki's phone, and intervene in each other's lives.

 

That's just the beginning, with them slowly figuring out what's going on and not even including the real twist and turns that make for the movie's major conflict. The direction, the art, and the music are astounding, not to mention the core of the story itself, with an incredibly potent quote of of time and connecting.
