Saving this for when people say "2 things can be right at the same time"
Something I've been thinking about as I'm radicalizing even more recently is that I started college as a liberal but basically as a Bernie Bro. During college I watched a docu-series called The Untold History of the United States. It corroborated a lot of claims I was getting trickle-fed from /r/latestagecapitalism. Then when I took my History classes in college around Junior semesters, my fairly un-biased professor went more in-depth on all the stuff you normally cover in HS but mentioned that we definitely didn't win the Vietnam War, and "most likely" the Soviets are who won WW2. It was vailidating and it I think it really kick-started the rest of my journey into socialism. Shortly after I graduated, I read the Communist Manifesto. Shortly after BLM I started seriously reading theory. At some point I read A People's History of the United States, and the whole corroboration thing came back again. 3 separate sources confirming the same thing about the US, one being an academic professor.
But it's also funny because I say sometimes that I'm the meme where college turned me into a socialist. I hate that I have unpayable debt from it but I also wonder where I would be politically had I not went.
Natural selection is about genetic traits and not about hierarchy or or some supremacy slop. And your biologist friend should know that.
Edit: and using natural selection to say that some groups of people are prone to hierarchical tendencies reeks of Social Darwinism and eugenics.
Was that the Kent State Massacre?
So long story short but there was a TikTok of a girl translating poorly translated Chinese character tattoos and one translated to "rice cooker". I made a comment about getting it, it gain traction so I said if I get a bunch of likes I'll do it. Last I saw before the post was re-uploaded, my comment was at 700 or so likes.
Well fuck it I'm gonna go ahead with it. But considering the post in question, I was hoping some people on here can confirm that Google's translation is accurate. I compared it to the image in the video and it seems right but still. I don't know Chinese so I'm trusting random strangers for a dumb meme tattoo.
Here's Google's translation:
Here's a still from the video:
What's keeping me from switching is that I switched about 12 years ago.
They said that their viewer was tested and designed to function mostly with Ubuntu and while it could work with other distros, it's not to be expected to be smooth.
I can't vouch for this particular software but from my experience with using Mint full time for the last 6 or so years is that regarding troubleshooting software, if a fix works on Ubuntu, it will more than likely work on Mint.
Just practice good security culture and you're probably fine.
I, for one, welcome any AES comrades that wanna join us.
Easy there wizard. In my defense I don't hang out in a terminal all that much anymore.
Not me using Linux for 15 years and just learning you can search through previous commands...
Me with git pushes: up up up, enter x3. Like 6 times a day.
OMG now I wanna know what they said.
Always great to see more love for MP.
Hello disabled comrades! Sorry about the last mega going a bit long. It looks like we are all busy 
. I hope everyone is doing well! Anywho, here's the new one.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
"Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
