That’s almost certainly a poor black nerd in an all white school. Zero offline socialization. Certainly some low level autism. Not happy with these friends but will endure it over none.

Feel real bad for that guy. He’s there because this is the life he was dealt. Fuck all the rest.

I am amused by green shirts drip though. He can stay as a court jester.

Looks like he’s already been hit.

Then post articles that say that and not articles that refute your own point. Otherwise you’re just being pedantic that no one was killed within the square itself.

But there’s no question many people were killed by the army that night around Tiananmen Square, and on the way to it.

Come on.

Its 2059 Nancy Pelosi is 119 but its time for her to finally pass. Before though another must take her place. Its only just if it passes on to a WoC but at 70 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be too young to lead the Progressive Caucus.

In a way they’re running the ML playbook to try to purge Lemmy of any leftism. You see the same tactics. Their nuanced rational for on Biden is "yes he’s doing genocide but Trump will do more genocide so Critical Support for Biden. And then, of course, silence any criticism of Biden, because that’s counter productive to supporting Biden.

It be interesting but its not like a ham radio where you just connect with people. You have to know people in your immediate vicinity willing to do it to establish a trusted network.

I’ve been told that many women are more scared of “other” or worse “apolitical” because 9/10 its a internet poisoned groyper.

Just put liberal so you won’t get filtered out and mention you’re socialist or whatever in your bio.

Boxing Day truthers

What the hell is that about? The tsunami?

Its election season and paid troll farms are a thing in the US too. It could also be that they’re self organized on some discord or matrix room. Either way they behave identically to shills.

TBF there’s a bunch of progressives shredding this obvious bullshit with basic democratic electoral memory but there is obviously a concerted effort to shill for Biden on that comm in particular.

That whole comm is total brain damage. There’s like 3-4 power users who come up with the worst DNC memes that are basically just paid trolls. I suspect they make their memes deliberately poorly to get more engagement. And then there’s the masses that understand that both candidates are pro-genocide and still think voting is the most important thing.

The nuance meme editor is utterly psychotic.

I don’t think Herbert was making the point that decolonial movements are bad. Going on a galactic killing spree isn’t decolonizing. Liet Keynes was the environmentalist decolonialist. Paul however was another imperialist.

If you read the books its clear Herbert is a die hard historical materialist. Paul and Leto II will literally give lectures on it.

Uncritical support to the Fremen Jihad

The rest of the Dune series would like a word with you.

The entire article linked is exactly a one sentence long. The video has one more sentence. Absolutely nothing specific about what the breakthrough is. Not even a link to more info. This is just lazy.

I’m a little suspicious that they clearly show a bunch of westerners touring the place and looking credulous but they never quote them. If you’re not going to have them say “yeah I’m a nuclear physicist and this shit’s real” then it just looks like cheap b-reel. I’m not saying their actors, but they for sure ain’t physicists.

Entire article quoted:

China’s new-generation “artificial sun” project Huanliu-3 (HL-3) has achieved remarkable progress in controlling nuclear fusion by discovering and realizing a new advanced magnetic field structure for the first time in the world, according to the China National Nuclear Corporation, one of the country’s largest nuclear power operators.

What is this? Propaganda for ants? Do better.

if she followed proper capitalization rules. the bigger clue is its “the lord” singular not “the lords” plural. plus its the leftwing tradcath liz breunig.

She’s referring to God.

I wouldn’t describe the conflicts back then as a culture war. I also think the radicals back then were far more of a minority than they are now. But those radicals were far more serious and committed.

I have a standing fatwa on snap only because it comes installed and enabled by default on Ubuntu server. Maybe it’s good for grandmas laptop but it’s kill-on-sight in a server environment. Every Ubuntu server I’ve seen has eventually been taken offline without any warning because of snapd doing some auto update.

Ubuntu server should have snapd disabled. Ubuntu shouldn’t be the default distro for VPS providers. AFAIK its only the default because its the distro most people might have prior experience with.

While I’m at it, Fedora is also on my shit list as dnf requires over a gig of memory to do a major version upgrade.
