Ah, the proudest of leftist traditions: Disagreeing with other leftists. Serves us right for not being brain-dead reactionaries. Can’t spell critical thinking without the C, I and A.

I know I am. I am also entitled to challenge your notion of “this is terrible” that is not really constructive to

I do not like them because the animations are arbitrary, with no proper theme and consistency to how they work and what they actually represent.

This is actually informative.

They do have a working class, but your second point is all too true, which is why it has made no impact.

No, I am essentially asking why they suck if a common user, such as me, likes them. Seems they fulfilled their purpose?

They made me want to click each of them. So am I allowed to consider them nice, or is your “professional” opinion going to be the judgement of that?

Almost everyone on Lemmy are huge nerds (me included) and are too busy playing Factorio to post replies to your question. THE FACTORY MUST GROW

It is still not civil war, it is just plain old fascism. The politicians that endorse “vigilantes” to uphold “democracy”, “freedom” or whatever bullshit they can make up, are just exerting regular political violence from the old fascist playbook.

Making you feel scared is the point.

NixOS and ext4 user here with no problems. Care to elaborate?

There is absolutely a corrolation between being stupid and being a neo-nazi. However, in this regard smart people are even more dangerous since they are not only capable of fooling themselves but others as well.

Yes.

I detested differential equations. However, that was more due to how it was presented than the underlying, surprisingly, beautiful math.

The only problem with courses like calc 3 and differential equations (in my experience, as a mathematician) is that they are cheating somewhat. By cheating I mean relying on inadequate, flawed or entirely omitted proofs. How can the students truly understand something if they are not presented the whole story (or at least reference)?

The good thing about these courses are that there are usually no shortage of relevant exercises!

When I learned about it first time I thought it sounded too good to be true. Turns out, it is just that good.

It is a work of art!

Yeah, hearing about how hard it would be to get tenure dissuaded me from pursuing my original dream of doing a PhD. In retrospect I think I am much happier where I am now than I would’ve been, which really is what matter the most to me now. Freeing myself of the obligation of attaining my goals was actually quite nice.

I misinterpreted your comment and was very pleasantly surprised that something named “rational wiki” would call him out for the crackpot that he is.

Realistically, how many people build applications themselves? Signal does not have reproducible builds (on Android at least) and depends on Play Services for notifications.

EDIT: Seems they have it now (since 2016). I am getting old.

Also, reported income is not the same for regular people and the top 1%. Tax evasion techniques makes it seem as if they have way less income than they really have.

EDIT: I do realize some of this could be incorporated into the statement of your quote above.

The (then) right-wing Norwegian government (left-wing by US standards ordered a study because they wanted to claim this. The results (source in Norwegian, use a translator) were the opposite of what they wanted.

For example: “the businesses used more money on their workers when the stock owners were subjected to higher wealth tax” (paraphrasing here).

Is a car or shirt or house personal property?

Yes.

I reference “dignity” because it’s part of “the unshakeable foundation of the Republic of Poland”

Yea, not sure I care about the right-wingers in Poland either.

cooperate with you if you remind them of the Soviet Union, and I expect that saying “we should remove the capitalist class” will do that.

Well, I think we should be honest about our intentions, unlike the capitalist class that tell you “brown people” or “the economy” is the reason they pay you slave wages.

What misinformation am I repeating? I wouldn’t have written a statement that I don’t think is true, so I suggest you point out anything you think is incorrect and explain your perspective, and maybe share a URL for some more interesting sources.

The part about seizing personal property to pay taxes, for instance. A progressive tax system can have bottom tiers paying no taxes. The right are those who impose high tax rates on the middle class and poor, in order to make them hate taxes.

The US is the only country I know of that practises this.
