This is a good example of how fascists and right wingers can ruin anything and everything. Bharat is a name with a shit ton of really fascinating history behind it. But let nationalists claim it as theirs and theirs alone, and it will eventually be just as ruined as the swastika.

Honestly, same. :/

Know anything about running a community? I’d join! I’d offer to make it, but I pretty much exclusively use mobile, and I’m not sure how to mod via mobile.

Man do I miss r/Hinduism! Also the advaita vedanta sub and a few others. Have you found any good lemmy communities for Dharmic philosophies?

Yeah, I’m one of those. If credit checks like that were instituted there is absolutely zero chance I could have enrolled. My bank wouldn’t give me 500 dollars to get my transmission fixed, much less the tens of thousands I need for a bachelor’s. The solution is the nationalization of education. Fuck this nonsense. Public education from K-post doc. Let the rich have their Harvards and whatever, but we need good state schools and a new crop of federal colleges popping up all over rhe country, in addition to community colleges. For free. No questions asked. Do you make absolutely no money whatsoever? Study here. Are you literally Jeff Bezos? Who cares. Study here.

We also need to get back to the way things were a century ago or more, where students could just decide they wanted to know a thing, and then go learn that thing. No need to declare a major, or even enroll for a degree. Just go learn the things you want to learn. Education should be it’s own reward, even if we also need it for other things. I’m not saying do away with degrees, just make it possible for people to audit classes, or use the resources of their local, public, universities.

He wasn’t even really a social democrat, to be honest. He bowed to the pressure of the socialist party at the time to prevent an actual fucking revolution (even if it would have been unsuccessful). Fdr understood that actual socialism would come knocking at the door if he didn’t capitulate. Clearly the best president we’ve had (in economic terms) in the mostly modern era, but he wasn’t as progress as people believe.

Edit

Also, tf is a “left” communist in this context? That’s not generally a term used, and when it is, it’s normally to point out the distinction between anarchists and Marxists, as in Lenin’s “left-wing communism.”

Is this chart claiming FDR was an anarcho-communist? Because… No. LMAO

Okay, serious question… Is lemmy supposed to be pronounced like the contraction of let+me? I’ve been pronouncing it like… Limb+E.

I bought a different brand of this a few years ago, and despised it. It was super thin and the headphones would press into me painfully as I slept. Turns out it was just a cheap brand. Pulled the headphones out and put them inside a sleep mask I knitted myself. Absolutely in love with it now. So wonderful.

Jesus I couldn’t even finish the article. It was a long winded “but the Democrats are good actually!” Sheepdog bullshit piece.

Mitch is gonna be fine, unfortunately. He just needs to consume the soul of another several hundred children to recharge the battery where his heart should be.

Thank you! I’ll try and make this my project this weekend. Haha.

You wouldn’t be able to link me to a tutorial to do that, would you? I’m not trying most technologically inclined, tbh.

I absolutely love this! God, I need it. There are several websites I have to use for school that have bullshit articles on the side bar that I would love to block these assholes from. And for the people talking about blocking them being ignoring the problem, you don’t have to keep it turned on all the time. Sometimes it would be nice to be able to scroll through something without having to know what the fuck warren buffet thinks, or how the emerald heir is going to cure cancer with the power of a truck that looks like a PS1 asset.

OP, I love this. Please tell me there’s a way to do to this from Android?

Wow! That’s really cool!

I like your method! I’m curious how to do binary? I only know the method I talked about because I really, really like base 12 for a story I wrote and got very into it with the research. I’ve never considered other techniques for finger counting before.

Fair enough. The other great apes, elephants, dolphins and a few other species sort of blur the line between animal and people in some ways.

I’m a Lemmy newb, but what I’ve been doing is copying the instance address, and paste it into Jerboa if I’m mobile, or into a different tab where I’m logged into my instance on browser. It’s not hard, but it worries me that people aren’t going to understand it going forward. I’m hoping eventually it gets a little more integrated.

How are we not great apes? I’ve taken 2 whole anthropology classes and this is the first I’m hearing of this! /s

For real, though, would love an answer. These things interest me.
