How do you abbreviate a date in YYYY/MM/DD format?
In the DD/MM/YYYY format I can tell someone I am available to meet on 26/07; the year is known contextually as it only changes once a year.
If I start to tell people I am available 26/07 am I available for all of July in 2026?
I’ve read it.
Orwell was socialist my dude.
Ever read one of his other books Down and Out in Paris and London?
It helps explain why he is a socialist.
Don’t fuck with the French.
People forget they were a super power for centuries.
“Well are we going to have a serious conversation? Because firstly I need to tell you about the 1647 agreement between the ethnic Russians located in the western Donbas who sent a letter signed gestures off screen to aide here see these letters, completely legitimate. Completely. They say that Ukraine belongs to Russia for ever and ever and they are Nazis because in 1806 the countries border was changed in the Crimean-Polish revolutionary conflict led by the Tsar of Russia.”
People have conscious and unconscious biases.
They are prejudiced and can’t allocate money objectively. This woman is directing the use of this money even though that may not be the best use of the money.
When you look at this on a macro scale, what is the system we have for allocating resources across an entire country? Government.
Is it perfect? No, but it doesn’t change the fact the most efficient and objective means we have is government.
In short, I don’t want a system where a huge racist can accumulate vast wealth and society has the prevailing view that this racist will be altruistic through some mystical force.
That just reenforces the need for betraying class.
People in those western countries have to find solidarity with the worker, whichever country they are in.
Although I don’t think having internet access and living in a capitalist country automatically makes you bourgeoise.
Class traitors are necessary to bring about a state of communism.
This type of behaviour should be encouraged.
You know what’s closer to the UK than Australia?
Literally any European country.
In fact you can just drive goods into Britain from Europe or put them on a train instead of shipping/flying it from literally the other side of the world.
No fucking shit.
I’m still in disbelief at racist ignorant Tory cunts that voted for this.
Fuck them and their political apathy.
Fuck them and their complete disregard for factual information.
They can now lie in the bed they made, the absolute fools.
It was his video on IQ tests that set off alarm bells for me.
IQ tests are not some method of determining intelligence they are very much linked to relative education/socioeconomic standing. His complete lack of criticism and neutral/positive support of IQ tests make me think he likes the result of his score…
The principal that is causing all of these issues is a power tripping psychopath.
She needs to be put in solitary confinement, not an 11 year old child.
FFS lady, the media is part of the problem.
Media concentration in the hands of a few billionaires have meant that the only people who become journalists for these major outlets are sycophantical cretins from families who benefit from a Trump win.
She should be directing her ire at her peers specifically.
Get rid of guns and you can stop this.
It’s the most basic solution that even conservatives can understand.
They seem to apply the following logic to everything else:
Stop immigrants? Build wall
Stop terrorists? Kill them
Stop homeless? Bus them
Stop poor? Tax cut
Stop mass shootings? Ban guns
Let me guess, ‘woke green loonies who use cancel culture’.
I’d recommend posting a tangentially political meme at some point on Lemmy.
The amount of people who will come out of the woodwork to tell you ‘don’t post this’ and ‘don’t make things political’ will really be eye opening.
People don’t want to address systemic issues and think not talking about them is a viable solution.
I hope Israel kicks this clown out of office.
He is responsible for hundreds of people getting killed.
Yeah. America isn’t the world.
Plenty of countries have functioning public transport.
America is not the exception, you can survive without cars.
My frustration comes from the fact that hybrids exist and are not used nearly as enough as they should (all cars should have been mandated as hybrids a decade ago) and this would reduce the downsides of electric car production.
I’m not defending ICEs here, I just think the overall environmental credentials of electric cars at this point in time isn’t as good as hybrids.
I fully expect this to change in the future but I’ve got entire fleets of vehicles which are less than 5 years old being replaced by electric and that makes no sense.
Also cars generally are just a terrible solution to mass transport. We already have the most environmentally friendly option known to man. Bicycles and trains.
Edit: for further information on hybrid vs electric see this analysis:
Europe didn’t send their best went they founded America…
