  • Elon Musk Announces Plan to Control Climate by Surrounding Earth in Adjustable Satellites

  • Literally all we gotta do is cyber bully him harder collectively. He sleeps next to a pistol and has a known substance abuse issue which clouds his perception. One good K-hole and we can call it

  • Cyclist falls down 130-foot ravine in France, survives 3 days by drinking wine he had in shopping bag

    Jump

  • That's the indomitable human spirit.

  • Trump Administration Providing Weapons Grade Plutonium to Sam Altman

    Jump

  • It might require a great deal of rejiggering because the fission output of the materials are not one to one. Kinda the whole point of weapons grade, you can't achieve a neutron cascade for efficiency in a weapon if you don't already have a kinda unstable "rock". Granted some reactors are designed to work better with a doped mix already.

  • Ancient IBM wisdom (from 1979) that the bosses just straight up promptly forgot

  • I don't know, they all sure hate Luigi for some reason.

  • Haven't these MFS been saying they won in a landslide have a mandate since January? Or am I just imagining things?

    Jump

  • And the faithful wonder why the bastard won't make an encore appearance. I wouldn't either.

  • What's Your Hidden Gem FPS of Choice?

    Jump

  • Lot a people hated it, but Homefront the Revolution, if you can get over how iffy the storyline is. The gunplay and tactical reclamation/raiding aspects of the city map were fun. Still frustrated they chose to make the big high tech villains the North Koreans.

  • Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.

    Jump

  • Fuckers should help me restore my old academic portfolio then. Might as well put living in a dystopian surveillance state to helpful use.

  • Disorder Apple Slice, nice

  • Lemmy libs: "But stalin baddd mkayyy"

    Jump

  • True; frankly, it usually works. I may have just read too much philosophy and feel crappy feeling like I'm telling people what they oughta believe. Still, this was a delightful discussion. Have a lovely day in case I pass out (night shift).

  • Lemmy libs: "But stalin baddd mkayyy"

    Jump

  • You know, that's a valid question I've been asking myself lately due to the intersection between American Union history and the current state of politics. Frankly, contribute to the local orgs already; so as I said, arguing I'm not under the umbrella isn't strictly valid.

    The other bit being that you can loop folks further left out of the more extreme sections of the evangelical right by presenting yourself as a middle ground. Talk them into reading some libertarian theory, conservative theory, and to read Marx and Engels for comparative analysis. Or at worst, reduce the theory to memes and make them read it by cutting absurd bits. I'm a bit of a dadaism fan if it wasn't obvious.

  • Lemmy libs: "But stalin baddd mkayyy"

    Jump

  • Mostly, a misguided attachment to libertarianism, and a lack of faith in a successful global proletariat revolution. Thus why in the original comment I clarified "tankie"; the other bit? The American feds. Real Red-scare vibes over here.

  • Lemmy libs: "But stalin baddd mkayyy"

    Jump

  • True, and yes unfortunately on Marxist theory and commentary. Part of why I'm a disillusioned corporatist if I still count as one and not an outright socialist. What can I say, Marx makes good arguments for economies of scale.

  • Lemmy libs: "But stalin baddd mkayyy"

    Jump

  • The "shitty" I'd quantify as the sometimes downright underhanded defense of the ideology of the party of his age, more than any direct moral failings on his part. Or a commentary on the necessary rules of engagement for revolt in Russia traditionally suck for the revolutionaries and those who follow them and attempt to safeguard their philosophical ideals.

    Granted, you're right, came in joking a little hot and heavy and I could have explained my punchlines better

  • Lemmy libs: "But stalin baddd mkayyy"

    Jump

  • True, why I count myself among y'all, I just quibble over the details frankly. Bad habit of mine. The results themselves overall in terms of quality of life speak volumes over the reduction in quality of life under capitalist systems generally. Even with failures like Mao's famines.

    Frankly the socialist states are generally more friendly to cooperatives over corporations. But again I call myself a social corporatist and folks usually imagine I'm arguing in favor of a techno-libertarian corporate congress. Pardon me for the lack of outright clarity.

    Trans liberals trying to do theory: "Transsexualism is Bourgeois, Amerikkka First!!!" cw: transphobia

    Jump

  • You know what, valid

  • Lemmy libs: "But stalin baddd mkayyy"

    Jump

  • Agreed, and to clarify, I'm pretty much a socialist, just think co-operatives oughta be allowed to hold similar assets to a state, (within the laws of a state in question) ideally subsidiary to the state's own collectivized system. The cold bit about Stalin was crediting the fellow with having more idealogical depth than the simple "funny gulag man" many paint him as.

  • Lemmy libs: "But stalin baddd mkayyy"

    Jump

  • Frankly not a tankie or a capitalist, but I'm pretty sure Stalin was shitty for other reasons. Admirable reasons at time as in the case of being a cold-mother fucker enough to gank his own son for the revolution. But reasons, surely.

  • speak for yourself

  • I mean, at least they'd be smart and horny, right?

  • What's the weirdest hobby you've heard of?

    Jump

  • Some of us only pop in occasionally to admire the graphics, run a few quests, and improve faction relations. (I can longer train skills, I have reached max on too many, don't ask.) It can certainly be fun if you're fond also of overly complicate navigation puzzles that require you to actually mimic doing a probe mission.
