I didn’t understand apocalypse now

I loved the first 2/3s. I think it started dragging a bit when they came to the temple but that might be because I watched it really late at night and the cinema was hot af so I almost feel asleep. Anyhow, I didn’t really understand what it was trying to say or what it was a about thematically. Might someone care to explain? Thanks in advance

Would a daisy chain fix this problem?

Hi guys! I have been interested in doing keenan flaps ever since I started training. The problem being that my gym only has technogym benches which puts me to far away from the cable to do it. Would a daisy chain help with this?

Is there any real life example of the message that Taxi driver’s ending is trying to send?

I thought about this for awhile, and I can’t really think of any specific examples of a criminal, of Travis’s degree, that gets glorified because they ”saved” someone. Although that might be because I’m not an american and wasnt Alice in the mid 70s. If anyone has any examples of this, I’m extremely curious to hear!

How do I make a short film alone, with only a phone.

I am a young film enthusiast and I know it’s unrealistic for me to make a film all alone without help but I have such a strong urge to create something. I could make a movie with my cousin but we won’t meet for another 3 weeks and I can’t wait that long to create. Any tips?

How would I go about deepening my knowledge of socialism when I’m not much of a reader?

I would really love to be extremely knowledgeable about Marx and Pannekeok but I know I won’t read them a lot. There’s also added friction between me and reading because I hate reading on my phone so I put off reading them till I have the money to buy a book but because I’m a minor and I don’t have a salary, I can rarely afford books. My parents have offered to pay for books but I’m wondering what they’re gonna think about me reading communist literature. I believe they will think I’m a tankie and pro ussr communist, which is fine if you are but considering the bad reputation Marxist Leninists have, I don’t wanna send those signals. Any tips?

What are some good resources on dialectics?

Well obviously Marx himself but im not sure where he speaks on dialectics and such. Secondary literature is also something I’d be interested in. Thanks in advance!

I’ve read around 100 pages of suttree and rarely laugh, are the jokes going over my head or is it just not very funny yet?

At times, I have laughed. But maybe only 4 times or so and I’m wondering if I miss the jokes or something

Im unsure if im queer or not and trying to find out is scaring me for reasons I can’t really explain

Im a pretty young male and I know I have some attraction to men. I even considered myself bisexual at like 8 but considering I didn’t have ANY sexual attraction to any gender at that age and relationships meant nothing, I wasn’t bisexual at all…

Contrary to close friends, I’ve never been revolted by the idea of kissing a man and can even imagine myself getting pleasure out of it. Also, albeit this isn’t anything I have told them, the same goes for sex with men.

Now reading this, you must think I most definitely am queer. But the thing that confuses me is that I have never seen a man, or atleast a clothed man, and thought to myself ”I’m sexually attracted to this dude”. That is something that I assume is necessary for being considered attracted to that gender. I constantly find myself thinking such things about women i see walking down the street or in a tv show etc. But never a man.

Now, I don’t really know how I would even go about exploring my sexuality. Considering I don’t know any gay men, I don’t pull women and I assume I couldn’t pull men either. Even if I somehow could, im incredibly reluctant to doing it, and I’m not really sure why. Im not scared of finding out i actually am bi since I live in an incredibly accepting country and im not even the slightest homophobic.

What are your thoughts? What should I do?
