Can’t believe bill burr went. Turns out all of his billionaire critics were just meaningless

real

months after it happened… the courts are simply too slow to keep up with trump

as well as a bunch of Australian history, the main bit being on the stolen generation (in primary school, not high school tho)

Didn’t learn about fascism in history. Mainly learned about ancient history and industrial revolution stuff

This is what should have happened to trump

I am quite conflicted. On the one hand this is extraordinarily bad for American democracy, but there is a feeling in me that said democracy farce at this point.

I also believe that this will justify further violence from the right towards lgbt/left/immigrants etc. But would that happen anyway?

While there is the argument of not contributing to overpopulation, in my view anti-natalism is the application of moral utilitarianism to an absurd degree. I also think it can (not will of course) lead to eugenics policies. Indeed, a poor person birthing a child more immoral than a rich person. Certainly the rich child is much more likely to live a better life than the poor. Should we therefore be more willing to regulate the reproductive capabilities of the poor? I think this is where anti-natalism breaks down - forcing it on anyone, or creating policy to support it, is in my view will always be deeply immoral.

2 pillows stacked on each other most nights. Sometimes I just have the one. Very rarely I will have none because for some reason that is whats needed to sleep

That’s great to hear. In my experience every second paper I ran into needed a subscription, although I am guessing they weren’t federally funded research or from a country where that isn’t required by law

We really need to push for fully open access research. I believe the ACM has announced a transition to open access, so there is that. However I think there needs to be legislated open access. Specifically, any federally funded research (or research from publicly funded universities) that is to be published should be forced to be open access. In America I don’t think that’s going to happen for a while lmao, but hopefully other countries can do this.

I’m on the other side of the planet and mamdani makes me hyped lol
