When you blow such a dog whistle don’t be surprised when you get such a dog pile.

Myth based on modern gender roles

An often overlooked aspect is that much of the rural US is experiencing pretty aggressive gentrification. “California” is the nebulous word used to describe that process by conservatives because actual understanding and contextualizing is “woke”.

California being the stand in word due to the socio-economic reasons already stated.

Reference to the war of 1812, it was still ~50 years before Canada slipped the British leash but there’s some weird nationalist revisionist history surrounding it.

In addition to everything you mentioned it’s also heavily subsidized as a baseline with >38B in subsidies vs the 170.38B meat market and 74.16B dairy market. Direct subsidies alone account for 15% of the total market.

greatest successes from lobbying governments to pass animal welfare laws and organizing protests to generate pressure and support for those laws.

It’s worth noting that it’s more often the ‘type 1’ vegan which is generally more effective at this, and why they’re seen as ecoterrorists and why things like ag-gag laws “needed” to be passed.

So your advice to people who can’t afford rent, work a fulltime job and have just had their tent and all their possessions thrown in a dumpster for the second time this month is what exactly?

Do you advise someone who is incarcerated that if they simply ignore the bars they will no longer be there?

Society has gotten far, far more unequal and oppressive

By what metrics?

Historically there simply wasn’t physical things with which to have the modern level of inequality. Historically the average lower end was was lower, but the modern high end is incomprehensible orders of magnitude higher.

Historical acts of oppression were often far more brutal and cruel but that’s because it wasn’t physically possible to maintain the constant, but relatively minor oppression that is characteristic of modernity.

Nah, they have very similar worldviews and argument styles but I’m pretty sure they’re distinct people. I’ve pissed off PugJesus and gotten personally blocked by them but I haven’t irritated PhilipTheBucket to that point yet___ on this account.

PugJesus gets extremely triggered by the phrase “statch a liberal and a fascist bleeds”.

Not sure what one can do, but if you need a good distracting hobby I’ve heard FPV drone racing is quite a bit of fun.

And yet EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT has voted to confirm at least one of Trump’s nominees.

Not police, just peace police. ACAB.

All of academia has a replication crisis at the moment however this is less theoretical than most and easily passes the sniff test.

You know how bismuth crystals have all sorts of different colors? It’s essentially growing a “bismuth crystals” on top of a cmos camera, except the “bismuth crystal” is much more random and the specific wavelength of light it lets through is dependent on some physics fuckery.

Will it ever be commercially produced? I doubt it, but hope I’m wrong:

• the lenses will not perfectly overlap each sensor resulting in many having ‘leakage’ from other frequencies resulting in a high signal to noise ratio
• there doesn’t seem to be a way to guarantee a consistent number of sensors per frequency resulting in highly variable sensitivity per frequency.
• Relying on randomness and only releasing the ones that are “good enough” is a fairly common practice but the yields are abysmal which causes the price to skyrocket.
• The use of a spectrogram is primarily as a scientific instrument, and an instrument which has wildly variable sensitivity/selectivity per sensor is a cause for concern.

I however do see potential uses for a cheap handheld machine that can do a quick and dirty material composition check. Contaminant tester (drugs, assembly lines, chemical stocks, etc.), hobbyist labs, chemical reaction monitor, etc.

And was expanded to include literal children during the Iraq war.

Iraq/Afghanistan? Russia is following in the steps of the US here.

I’m blanking on the exact phrase, but it’s something like “never believe a number with unreported error”.

To get further into the weeds there is a significant difference in approach between theoretical and experimental science. In experimental science it’s not only enough to communicate what you “know” but to communicate the underlying biased, tolerances and precisions of the thing being measured and modeling approach being used.

these represent the threshold of the known.

I would argue that those representations are inherently bad science because they do not communicate the margin of error. Grue, I believe you are spot on with a concept in how you would make those drawings more scientifically accurate, but ultimately they are artistic renderings of scientific understandings, but not scientific themselves.

While I don’t disagree with WoodScientist that modern scientific institutions are inherently conservative, the process of science is not, nor should it be. Apologizing for the inherent conservatism in science is unscientific, harms belief in vetted resulted, conflates institutions for processes and projects a people problem onto the inanimate.

Since Nixon vs. Humphrey vs. Wallace back in 1968.

In 2024 pproximately 59.0% of voting age population voted, which is 63.9% of voting eligible population.

2020 was the only year to surpass with 62.8% VAP/65.3% VEP.

3rd place is 2008 with 58.3% 61.6%.

What do you think Gitmo(GTMO) and other military black sites are for?

I don’t believe blacks and minorities were ever kidnapped and trafficked to foreign death camps

Historically domestic death camps have been good enough. A prison where people are serving life sentences is a death camp, just a very slow, inefficient one.

Those sent were charged with a crime, but not convincted. The laziness to not even coerce a plea deal as is tradition is the only real deviation from the “status quo”.

I do appreciate that the fascist morons are too stupid to realize that the “inefficiencies” they saw were design features not flaws. Allowing for the whole charade to be exposed without having to argue against each individual part of the kafkaesque machine.

In less than a month, the nazi party have already disappeared 1/3 the total number sent to Gitmo the last 23 years.

Can you provide some more specifics+sources on those numbers so I can also reference them later with more specifics?

Remember_the_tooth is spot on, but also glosses over the 20-21st century transition and the litany of bullshit that led to the modern police state. Jim Crow Joe and the 90s crime bill, Bush Jr.'s coup via Bush V Gore and the subsequent formation of DHS, expansion of black sites via the Iraq war, etc.

or are a registered member of a long dead movement.

Oh, it should be long dead, but it’s not. There is a significant amount of people that legitimately think “Hitler was right”. Those you’re referencing aren’t all Nazis (though some certainly seem to be, or at least are heavily inspired by) they’re fascists.

Using the word “Nazi” instead of “fascist” limits the useful historical comparisons that you can draw from and can have a blinding effect on making important comparisons. I do disagree with Stormdahl about ‘just calling them MAGA’ but I do agree with them that MAGA =/= Nazi just because it’s an explicitly fascist movement.
