I noticed Trump is trying to copy everything Hitler did, but hyper inflation is sth I had thought he may have wanted to leave out. How naive of me.

Well, yes, he isn't clever. If he were he'd try to avoid bragging about his war crimes and high treason publically. But you could have said the same about e.g. Wilhelm Keitel. Babies aren't born as hateful nazis.

..not sure if you read it but my reaction was against someone suggesting to inform those in charge of the department. It's dangerous to make the mistake of thinking you can reason or use logic and common sense with bullies and fascists. That is all I'm saying. No lecture. So don't lecture me neither

Yes, I hear you, and agree, but those that control the DoD, and the military, obviously do not. That's all I'm saying. As a caution. Didn't meant to sound condescending.

What a surprise! Thanks to a completely unnecessary wasteful study, we now have evidence indicating that making shit up to undermine people's trust in reality, science and modern medicine, doesn't alter reality. Who would have thought.

Well, that's what they refer to themselves as. Telling yourself that they're on the same side as the American people and are there to defend you is a dangerous illusion. If they were, they would have overthrown your illegal regime by now instead of changing their name.

They do. It's about hate and wanting to see people suffer, and die, to enforce their lies at all costs. Obviously they take vaccines themselves. They're not stupid just because they are evil, sadistic, lying monsters.

American combat deaths in World War I: 54,000.
American soldiers killed by flu in World War I: 45,000.
They would have given anything for a flu vaccine.

My premature condoleances to anyone serving in or with family serving in the fascist army of our global, free falling, fascist empire, recently hellbent on converting itself to a suicide cult. On the other hand, genocide is morally indefensible.

In light of upcoming European Union talks with the Taliban, the EU should not risk legitimizing the Taliban through cooperation on deportations. Returning people to Afghanistan would put lives at risk.

- ppl they'd call "woke" or "communists"). It doesn't matter if they suffer themselves as a consequence. Trump fascism is a death cult.

I'd caution you against thinking he and his supporters don't realise the disastrous consequences of this. On the contrary, this only makes it more attractive to fascists like Trump, to see those he label as his opponents suffer (ppl that want a functioning society, a liveable future, and others >

There is, however, *a lot* of evidence that these efforts increase traffic and that they do not help. While making cities far less liveable, impossible to walk, bike and live in. But, as with everything, fascists (like GOP) only care about making life worse for others even if they suffer themselves.

Hade vederbörande journalist förstått vad en fördelning är inom naturvetenskapen, eller ekonomi, alternativt inte velat vilseleda för att främja tidningens stormrika ägare, så hade hen kanske skrivit "I genomsnitt äger 0.1% av befolkningen (ca 10 tusen svenskar), aktier för en miljard vardera"

I *genomsnitt* har alla 0.5% av: en 100-miljons-lyxvilla, lyxjakt, 3-4 lyxbilar, flera semesterlägenheter och lyxiga sommarstugor. För det kan vi tacka våra miljardärer som snällt tar hand om våra skattepengar, och äger och suger ut företagen vi jobbar åt, som därför inte kan ge oss vettig lön. Tack

Do you want to see the "big picture" on climate change?

Here it is.

Emissions are on the left, and include CO2, CH4, N2O, and f-gases. Natural CO2 sinks (from healthy forests & oceans) are on the right. And carbon removal, what little there is, is on the right, too. All expressed as GWP100.

Inte vad jag vet. Basker är så kräsna också. Har hört att de var sist i Europa att anamma potatis och de tror att all sötvattenfisk är oätlig. Men friarielli har jag provat flera gånger, i Napoli. Tyvärr är jag för känslig för beska grejer för att kunna uppskatta det. Eller rucola. Eller mycket kål

Tyvärr är jag så obildad så att jag inte har någon aning om vad puntarelle ens är, eller för den delen smakar. Tror jag. Men det låter lovande

Jag trodde det bara skulle vara fel svar 😅. Måste testa att äta maskrossallad men bara om det inte smakar som ruccola

User dratsab huffman asks the question: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism". Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies: Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

S är ju snarare en bromskloss i sig, eller snarare en backväxel man lagt i, och nu använder för att gasa i full fart tillbaka till medeltiden. För att nå dagens nivå av ojämlik fördelning av resurser, som S hjälpt till att orsaka, så måste man snart tillbaka till 1700-talet.

I'm very much expecting that it will be more similar to the ending of Civil War (2024)

I hold 2 BS degrees, from a school (USC) where my graduating class was ~6000 people.

There were 6 people in my year who got one of my degrees, and somewhere in the 15-20 range for the other one. (Psychobiology -- later renamed Neuroscience -- and Biochemistry, respectively).
