Okay Pooh, based answer but this isn’t World History homework, this is English homework, so I actually need you to spell “murderer” specifically please

Democrats have a nasty habit of rehabilitating Republican politicians after they leave office. For example, ask Obama or Biden or any Democrat politicians about the Bushes or Reagan and you’ll invariably get positive responses.

It should be seized by the government people and mercilessly decentralized.

Well it’s definitely not “new-age”, but apparently the worth “empathy” only entered the English language in 1908.

So I’m gonna pretend like it’s 1776 like he always wanted me to do and not have empathy for him 😆

You meant to have a slash in the equals sign like ≠, right? Because it doesn’t render on Lemmy 😆

Well not everyone is living 😈

Honestly I think engineers of all kinds can benefit from more study of biological systems.

Agreed. My point was more that I didn’t really learn much from actually dissecting a real animal. Like I probably would have learned more from reading a book or watching someone else do the dissection.

Useless to you. I extremely need to know the Pythagorean Theorem for my work. Actually, absolutely everything I have ever been taught in math class ever, literally all of it and so much more, I have used. But I’m starting a PhD in electrical engineering in the fall, so I’m a bit biased 😆.

For me personally, dissecting frogs (well actually I dissected a clam) was probably a waste of time, but for at least some of my classmates it was probably helpful. Long division is important because it stimulates algorithmic thinking, which is important for living in a computerized world. Area of a trapezoid is important because… sometimes trapezoids show up, or you can approximate a more complicated shape with a trapezoid whose properties are well understood.

I’m surprised that there are countries we haven’t bombed 🙃

Update: the government was imprisoning a bunch of tiny little drones inside the camera enclosure! The drones are coming over to thank me for saving them.

I mean anything can be a toilet if you’re brave enough

New mobile public toilets just dropped

I want to believe

Evidence?

I mean did you learn anything?

They are saying because Kamala did not want mass ICE deportations that we wouldn’t be having mass ICE deportations in LA.

Are they saying that somewhere else? Because I didn’t see that anywhere in the text of either of the two comments in the chain.

More accurately though: Kamala does not brashly call for mass ICE deportations like Trump does because she needs to maintain an image of being an opposition. And the point of maintaining this veneer of being an opposition party is to provide a pressure valve. The goal is to manufacture consent, to pacify liberals who might otherwise figure out that the system does nothing for them and become leftists, to put a “woke” face on the evil agenda of capitalism so liberals can smugly claim to be the only people fighting for social justice and simultaneously block out any radical voices.

That doesn’t mean she, and the Biden admin that she promised to be an extension of, wouldn’t be having mass ICE deportations all over the country. It only means that liberals would be cool with it like they were with ICE deportations under the Biden and Obama administrations. Because liberals, by and large, like the violence. The ones who figure out that they don’t become leftists.

Even if you believe Kamala and Trump share the beliefs/end goals/policies whatever, there is at least one distinction and that is she did not want mass ICE immigration. Therefore, she is LESS harmful.

Honestly, the only material difference between the two is what they say in public. It’s only an indicator at best of the trajectory of the system.

Like imagine if your car is smoking in the front, and the mechanic is like “The transmission is fucked, the engine is on fire, the battery also exploded, and I’m not going to do anything about it”, but then you take the car to another mechanic and they’re like “The transmission is fucked, the engine is on fire, the battery also exploded, and I’m not going to do anything about it, but I’m willing to charge you $69 to turn off the Check Engine light.” And hundreds of people in the internet are like “Bro you gotta fix the check engine light or your car will never work ever again bro please just go to the other mechanic and pay $69 and if you want to get a bike instead you secretly want your car to be on fire bro”.

In a car, the Check Engine light is an indicator that something is wrong, just like in the US, the public rhetoric of the current administration is an indicator of the trajectory the system is on.

I’m not wasting my time to prop up liberal Democrat politicians who won’t even pretend to attempt to change a goddamn thing. We know the system is working exactly as intended. It’s oppressing the exact people it’s supposed to oppress. And the Democrats aren’t even pretending to care about the things they campaigned on stopping in the last election cycle. They’re the baddies too, and I’m tired of pretending they’re not.

if she was prez I don’t think we’d have the national guard tear gassing protesters in LA right now

What are you smoking and can I get some?

Me not doing the midterm exam due on Sunday 😭

IMO I think people are gonna have to start swearing more online since it’s kinda hard to get commercial LLMs to swear.
