politics @lemmy.world•Secret GOP Cabal With Vance and Thiel Plots Eternal MAGA RuleEnglish
2·3 days agoAnecdotal, but from my time in school most people actually did. AP US history was the straw that broke the camel’s back for all of the stu-co honors society top 15 kids I had that class with. The most hated class, just absolutely whinging about the sheer onerousness of the exam and study guide. My theory has always been their heads were already full to the brim with memorizing the physics and maths and other classes’ materials. History is just too much to memorize and regurgitate like that, it requires thinking, and a lot of it. I came away from that experience with the understanding that a lot of people fucking hate thinking any more than they have to, even (or especially) a-political folks. Loved that class, we had an excellent teacher too. S-tier teacher, really cool guy.

1·4 days agoWhatever you get make sure it has more than a couple years left of software update support. This sort of narrows the field, and you don’t need to go Samsung for the full 5-7years or w/e their newest lines will have, but make sure it’s not essentially software EOL in the next couple years. Look for more like 3-5y out.

I’ll assume this is a very European take, and point out that Europeans don’t even ever eat peanuts or peanut butter anyways as it was written off as colonist fodder unfit for their ‘queenly’ pallette. They also don’t like corn, which has the juice, so like yea man we know their tastes are stuck in like the 18th century. Go on darling, have your fermented herring and duck pate 😬 we’ll continue actually using the spices and flavors from the new world

1·1 month agoWas this written with AI? The whole point of the video was simply that the original ‘paper’ about Dyson Spheres was very clearly a joke at the early SETI projects expense, even according to the man who wrote it. You can think whatever you want about the merits of them in a futurist context.

News@lemmy.world•There’s a growing number of Americans who think violence might be necessary to get the country back on trackEnglish
3·1 month agoI’ve kinda been predicting this since his first term, worst case scenario (and at this point increasingly more likely) would be a Syrian civil war style destabilization from within. Fractured and splintered into a number of militias fighting locally for their perceived community/religious sect/ethnicity against a much better equipped state military that can’t cope with the scale of things. Retaliation and backlash against other groups, within and outside of said community, extrajudicial and casual killings, etc.
In other words, a nightmare. This country is just so damn big and full of so many different kinds of people and ideas
Edit bc I just remembered: FUN FACT, at my last job there was a customer I was real cool with, helped him build a Baja 5.0 Ranger. Dude was a Brazilian DACA dreamer who was a diehard trump supporter along with his family, who made it very clear his naturalization was on HIM and they wouldn’t help (they had gotten their citizenship). Very conservative, probably big bolsonaro fans.
He was one of the few trump guys actually interested in what some stupid leftie in a red state had to say, and actually heard me out on this ^ theory. I wonder where he is now.
Lol my mom used to tell me she’d come home exhausted from work and wouldn’t know what she was going to feed us, so she’d just put some garlic and onions in a pan to fry while she wound down and figure it out as she went. She said the smell at least made it seem like she had it all figured out, to us anyway


I love suchomimus, does great work with his coverage
