Early Perceptions and Optimism Regarding the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
Categories:
History
Choice of Topic 🔗To many of us, the image that is inevitably conjured up of our image of North Korea is that of an endless march of goose-stepping soldiers, or possibly foreign receptions, maybe the launching of a rocket. North Korea is an almost comical existence to Americans – and especially so to younger generations. Yet, what is lost in this simplistic thinking is that at one point in history North Korea was seen as the country with an optimistic future.
Partitioning of Bengal

History
The partition of the Bengal Presidency (for it was not Bengal Province until 1937) was a cynical ploy by the British government to maintain their power in Bengal – which was simultaneously the seat of their power and the hotbed of Indian nationalism. In December 1903, the intention of the government had become publicly known. By 1911, after mass public unrest, the announcement for the reversal of the policy was made by King George V at the Delhi Durbar.
On How the INC Came to Forefront of National Life

History
On November 30th, 1888 the Viceroy of India Lord Dufferin gave a speech at a St. Andrew’s Day dinner. At that speech, he discussed the up-and-coming Indian National Congress and the class of people from which it arose, calling them “the product of the system of education which we ourselves have carried on… [a] microscopic minority… who may be considered to possess adequate qualifications… for taking an intelligent view of those intricate and complicated economic and political questions affecting the destinies of so many millions of men” (Grover 183).
Doom Eternal and Halo Reach

So I beat both Doom Eternal and Halo Reach. I got both of them during the Summer Sale. I don’t know why everybody doesn’t just do this. All you have to do is wait a few months for games to start going on discount. Or if you wait like a couple years you can get it for like 80-90% off. Maybe it’s FOMO. Oh well, not my money. Piracy is kinda a pain too—especially on Linux.
Leaving the West
My feelings haven’t really changed. I kind of want to live somewhere else. Tried with the going to school in Japan thing but that obviously didn’t work out. Ideally, you need to get some income then figure out a way to make passive income. Whether that’s through a business, real estate, dividends, etc. I’m sick to my stomach of general “wokeness.” I know there’s people fleeing from much worse, but I am so bloody tired of it.
Broken California: Sacramento is a Clown Show – Railyards Development Failures Further Exposes Policy Failures of Democrats

California is a clown show. Things do not work in this state. Housing is unaffordable. Schools are broken. Things do get built. Public transportation is a joke. Bureaucracy takes years to get anything done. Urban centers are not safe. Homeless is an epidemic. Tent cities exist. Parks are disgusting. Let’s explore some of the latest nonsense going on in Sacramento. First off, we have unions opposing development of the Railyards:
New Laptop and Fixed Tags
Okay, I think I have finally fixed the tags issue on this site. For the longest time, I don’t know why, tags were broken on this site. Now I think I have fixed them. All I did was run hugo on this new laptop and it seemed to have fixed it for some reason. No idea what that was about. But man I can’t believe it took me what three months now to finally shift this over to my new laptop.
Rejected
So I was rejected from Nagoya, Ritsumeikan, and ICU. The last one is Sophia but I’m not going to be waiting in baited breath for that one. Think the odds of that one working out aren’t all that great. I’m not so frustrated with getting rejected it’s more not being able to get the time and money back. But I still have the opportunity to go to a UC school and finish my degree in a couple years.
I Will Know Today
Today is when I receive the decision. Should be at seven, which is around four hours from now. This will either be very exciting or very disappointing. Maybe anti-climatic would be better. I’m predicting that I got in. That’s my prediction. I might be wrong, but I feel decent about it. I would be very happy. But if not then I spend two years going to a state school. I already got accepted to a couple state schools, so I do have somewhere I can go.
End of an Era
I can still vividly remember the time I heard Trump was shot. I thought he was really assassinated or badly wounded at first. But I still remember. Might be the same thing with this. I think I’m still going to remember what I felt in the days coming up to it and the days proceeding. I don’t think it’s a simple it’ll be down for a couple weeks. This might truly be the end of 4chan as we knew it.
