You think people shouldn’t be allowed to respond to you? That sounds pretty authoritarian, you tankie.

It’s fucked. I can’t deal with this shit.

Some were, some weren’t. There are plenty of stars in the sky that are billions of years old

I fully understand that aptitude tests as a requirement for voting are wildly undemocratic, but if we had one that was exactly one question long and that question was to demonstrate you understand how tax brackets work, I would be for it.

“devolve”

Big fan of Tsarist Russia, Feudal China, Colonial Japan, and Batista Cuba I take it.

Lives in a company dorm and rent is still $250 a month.

That may be the intention, but I think you’d have to be a neolib true believer for the article to read as anything but deeply dystopian

Seeing the way liberals talk about places they do consider to be dictatorships, be it Russia, DPRK, China, you’ll realize the answer is emphatically yes.

Kojima was more than just involved; it might be the most Kojimary Kojima game ever made.

I was mistaken, it was an executive order: A Proclamation on Securing the Border.

It’s wild that, after all this time, Democrats still can’t comprehend the idea that “Republicans can just lie”

Remember when Biden passed that extremely draconian border law, and all the libs were crowing about how genius it was because “now the Republicans can’t say we’re weak on border control!”.

How’s that going?

What a complete non-sequitur

And none of the libs have learned a thing. They’re busy gushing over the claim that 90 percent of Russia’s army has been destroyed, and all the previous claims of imminent victory have been memory holed.

It’s becoming increasingly obvious everyday that the dominance of the USA empire will have to crumble before the world can start improving.

Realistically it has for most of its history, but it’s real zenith was the post WW2 period.

Also Catholicism, especially when it comes to Eru.

It’s gone full Blueanoning, Russiagating, Biden Worshiping mad

I didn’t realize that lemmy.world had actually reached the point of being worse than reddit ever was.

I’m not so sure. I think a degree of shut up and calculate if you actually want to get a physicists level understanding, a large degree. But I strongly believe that it’s no harder to give a clever layman a working understanding of the underlying concepts, in purely conceptual terms. Honestly, I think the reason the quantum mechanics has been so prone to pop-sci charlatans is that legitimate science communicators keep trying to explain it in interpretation-agnostic terms, which makes it sound far more mystical and paradoxical than it is.
