One exception to it : fascists managed to convince people who can only lose stuff to a war that it’s good for them too.

Oh so managers are biological LLMs! It explains everything!

Ukraine has no nuclear weapons. Nuclear arsenal is basically meant to face nato/USA in Russia.

Ukraine invading Russia is a humiliation. But it’s not a real threat for now. Russia didn’t even declared the state of war yet.

I’ve heard that Russia can’t really use atomic bomb against Ukraine because Ukraine has no atomic bombs itself. If it did, it would spark nuclear proliferation by breaking a tabou. And China wouldn’t allow that, because they don’t want Taiwan to get the bomb.

But nato is an atomic power. Thus, atomic bombs are fair game.

A neutron reactor (Institut Laue-Langevin). The mix between 80’s concrete bunker like structure or yellow steel bars and uber high tech mirrors that reflect neutrons is amazing, as is the crudeness of the experiments that achieve the best matter probing on earth. It’s straight out of retro-futuristic sci-fi, and at the same time higher tech than many modern sci-fi will imagine in some technical areas.

Vesper. It is imo a good sci-fi movie, but a tough one. The lives of the characters are not easy, but the movie doesn’t tell you that, you discover it through details casually said by the characters. The movie itself is a post apocalyptic movie in a very original setting. It is about biotechnology instead mechanised or AI tech. It is worth it for this alone IMO. It was a great movie imo, but not one to cheer up.

Billionaires don’t care about the economy. What matters is whom owns the means of production. And in today’s age, whom owns the means of ideology production.

Being g a saint to a group of bullies is worth everything.

French constitutional court is allowing ministers to vote in the parliament if their resignation has been accepted. It’s a fun combo because it involves all 3 powers : executive, legislative and judiciary.

This simply means you’re either a liberal or a fascist.

It’s simple really : the US left is liberal, thus it is not truly the left.

What the fuck?! This shit with tiltok is one of the ugliest imperialist shit the USA pulled this century, dropping the rule of trade to the full on empire mode, and you’re talking here about whataboutism?

We have a country literally stealing a company because it’s profitable and can spread influence! And you’re here like “China bad”?

Is this the strategy? Anytime something bad from the US comes up you deflect for it to be about China I guess?

That’s quite ironic coming from the USA! Did the patriot act got amended recently or is this sheer hypocrisy?

I am an engineer. Most developers aren’t though, unfortunately.

We’re talking about history where mysoginy left a big footprint because it was made by men that incapable of thinking that women could be more than what they were in their time.

Exactly like today. You’re asking why it matters whether it was a man or a woman, yet this whole conversation sparked because someone said that it could be a woman.

That’s conservatism for you.

you talked about enemity first, remember? you have this view of a fight, and that anyone who dare say that a woman did something and not a man, is fighting men.

You have a very defensive position. Which means you feal attacked. You say it directly when you talk about “enemy”.

You are the problem my friend. Your first comment is aa problem. And the support it receives is concerning and scary.

You are ignorant of recent history then.

Men did do their best to segregate women in the 18th and 19th century. And they succeeded. Even in the language.

Women fighting for women to be recognized in history is an important fight for women to be respected and recognized for their doing, because even now they aren’t.

And I’m not saying it’s an all men problem. It’s a society problem.

Seeing the reactions in this thread, it does seem that a lot of men are indeed enemies of women. Why would it be so hot otherwise to discuss this?

I don’t know about English, but in French in the 19th century men did enforce the use of homme (men) instead of humain (human) in the déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen, and in the language, because they did want to segregate women. It was a purposeful and deliberate decision.

I am convinced it’s exactly the same in English.

So you’re arguing that people would have more use to write moon cycles than women cycles? And you talk about bigotry?!

When you remove all financial support from people who need it to survive, they instantly are poor, it doesn’t take years.

But I’m sure it’s a hard to swallow pill for liberals.
