  • Is posting from #Mastodon to a #Lemmy community a good idea or will this just confuse everyone?

    Jump

  • I'm just not sure the two use cases meld very well. Mastodon tends to be "reply and fly", whereas Lemmy can get into discussions.

    I don't know why that is. Maybe it's the twitter character limit that's been baked into people even though it's not a thing on mastodon (might depend on instance).

  • Oh it was a fantasy and still is. They've removed the president, but that doesn't stop the regime. The VP has taken power, not the US.

  • But do you condemn Maduro?

    Jump

  • You take my comment as supporting US action. I don't.

    I also don't support Manduro.

    Evil leaders on both sides and innocents being caught in the middle. The rest of your rant is a complete non sequitur.

  • But do you condemn Maduro?

    Jump

  • It's recorded fact that he's barred his political opponents from taking part in elections against him, and made moves to remove the Venezuelan citizenship of others. It's widely regarded as the least democratic country in South America by a significant margin.

    I've tried to link sources which would NOT be the same people saying Biden stole 2020.

    The democracy in Venezuela is a sham. That doesn't mean the US should kidnap the President.

  • "Democratically elected" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The election process for all of them was very questionable.

  • White light is light that contains all visible wavelengths at the roughly the same proportions.

    The key word there is "visible". Our eyes adapted to the spectra of our star when filtered by our atmosphere. We perceive that spectra as white.

  • The sun is, by definition, white. White is what we call it when an object reflects all spectra of sunlight.

    It's only at sunrise / sunset when the atmosphere filters out more of the blue spectrum that it apparently turns more orange/red.

  • They need to stop being an authoritarian and economically right party. People voted for change, and have not gotten what they voted for.

  • I think there's a lot of assumptions going into current polling. Labour is disenfranchising a lot of people, but a large number are becoming true "don't knows" and taking themselves out of polling calculations.

    These are the the left of the party who are politically homeless. The greens are mopping up some of them, but Polanski is a divisive character. Some love him, and some find him superficial. Some might land in the Lib Dems as their social policies are left of labour, but there's a lot that would never even consider that. Corbyn was trying to set up a party for them, but that's never going anywhere.

    One thing is for sure, this block is not voting for Farage. He's diametrically opposite to what these people believe in.

  • If you could add one book to the required reading curriculum for people under 18, what would it be?

    Jump

  • So how do you study literature without having the class all read the same book? Can't really have a discussion on the themes of a work if the class isn't all reading the same thing.

  • UK university degree no longer ‘passport to social mobility’, says King’s vice-chancellor

    Jump

  • One of the biggest examples of equality Vs equity there is, and how the Blair government picked the wrong one. A university education was a dividing line in society they said. It was something only available to a select few. Everyone should benefit from a university education.

    Thing is, apart from Oxbridge, the dividing line was never about race, sex or class. It was about academic ability. If you had the grades, you could come from anywhere (Equality). Now, there was a problem with high schools and sixth-form colleges not being as good in certain areas, but that wasn't a problem with the universities. Many even tried to take such factors into account during admissions. If they'd solved the school education issue instead it would have been a fair system (again, apart from Oxbridge).

    ...but Blair felt that everyone should go to university. So they pushed up the intake numbers, converted all the polytechnics into universities (blowing away further education for less academic people) and turned the now unsustainable grant into loans.

    End result: 20 years down the road and the bachelors degree is now largely worthless in hiring circles because everybody has one, and the masters degree is going the same way.

    Qualifications are meant to give prospective employers information about people's strengths. Now everyone appears the same on paper (Yay... Equity!) and the qualifications have lost their reason to exist.
