you are called a Democrat, shouldn’t you believe in some sort of inherent sacredness of popularity? why champion the verifiably least popular known Democrat?

is it too late for me


we aren’t capable of maintaining that one for longer than a presidential term. much shakier ground than forcing the biblical apocalypse so all the evangelicals can finally go to heaven
hello lemmy, please watch care of kancharapalem.
the less i tell you about it, the better. it is a very, very good movie experience because of the story, a story built on a house of cards that i don’t want anyone knocking over before you see it, trigger warning there is 1 suicide


i hope this sends someone down a Kyrgyzstan rabbit hole, it would be a great honor to enrich you with this knowledge


do indigenous ethnic groups count or no? china and India together have a few hundred indigenous populations that didn’t get genocided, and a few hundred that did (most before 1900 for stupid reasons). Canada succeeded at almost all of theirs, the west is really good at getting rid of things they don’t want, China tries to construct systems that please them without giving them real power, which is also evil but definitely beats ‘killing the indian and saving the man’
it would take several classes to understand diversity in China because of their government system and long history but this English wiki article is a great start

I’ve always found that it’s better to just focus on what people are likely to become invested in rather than expecting them to read everything. this is a much shorter article, read this one instead:


there are atheist terrorists. terrorists are more complicated than a video game spawner. they are produced when people have contradictions that can’t be resolved without violence


you are not more clever than the cocaine you consume
yall are saying different things!!

oh, i forgot the tankie part. China’s recent quantization of deepseek v4 has basically made it impossible to monetize a token. they definitely have like, dozens of backdoors established in these AI companies as well as really good methods to manually scrape their weights just from clever interaction, and also just plain good scrappy techniques for utilizing old GPUs and RAM. the result? say you’re a rich idiot who wants access to powerful AI. you can just run a free Chinese model on your own computer, or, if you’re rich enough, your own data-center! and the AI companies get none of your money. China is undermining a critical revenue stream for AI and I’m pretty happy about it


i think Europe is about to experience what America and old colonies have been cushioning them from for 50 years. We’re all gonna be struggling soon, if not economically then instead from climate-change-induced famines that wipe out entire established farming areas, we are all ignoring the long-term effects of data-centers because the short term is enough to make us all cry in rage, but eating will be difficult if we don’t stop throwing electricity into the AI hole


i need old thinkpad


hey that would be difficult to do as a Sikh, look them up sometime their history is interesting and surprisingly short
this is a big reason why I’m happy Trump won the second time. i am so fucking tired of hegemony, make me less relevant than Spain please
Trump accidentally did exactly what communists had been hoping for for 25 years. we were never gonna give up our power, military acumen, and technological superiority willingly. this guy, though. he really can do anything
If you had said Kentucky I would have tried to become your friend, your curiosity is infectious!

you’re not just human, you’re like, extra human. where are you from?
yeah it’s useful to call yourself a feminist and it doesn’t cost much. you might be overthinking this, do not deprive yourself of future interactions with people who share your values
