This is not how general relativity works at all. If your coordinates are set to a spot on Earth (or some spot relative to Earth), you will appear at that same point. Spacetime exhibits something called diffeomorphism covariance which is a fancy way of saying you’d have to go out of your way in the dumbest way possible to get this outcome.

Yeah, I agree Canada shouldn’t support the US but what does that have to do with China?

“The reality is that voting Democrat was the correct choice to minimize damage”

“Direct action is the only thing that works.”

Your worldview is incoherent. You don’t even have the self-awareness to see how your own thoughts and opinions are contradictory.

The right to vote doesn’t mean anything if the choices are all awful. This last election was literally “Vote for genocide” or “Vote for (maybe) slightly less genocide”.

It seems that liberals will defend any atrocity their leaders commit more than they’ll defend people simply not supporting atrocities.

You would have to be lying or a complete idiot to not realize we haven’t had a remotely fair primary in almost 20 years.

Majority of people who voted. That is not the same as the majority of eligible voters nor is it anywhere near same as the majority of Americans.

Also, if it were a Dem Pres, we’d have more or less the same outcome just less crass and with more political theater/obfuscation.

Anyone who thinks a secure messaging app is all they need to keep their communications private from government snooping is a fool. All of the end-to-end encryption in the world won’t really accomplish anything when there are any number of other ways to read your screen, log keys, etc. The app just encrypts messages, what happens after that on the user’s device is outside of the app’s design.

Never assume any digital device is safe. Never.

Do you mind noting when/where bombs were dropped by the Chinese during the Chinese-Vietnam war, or any of the engagements you’ve listed? I’m having trouble finding any information about that.

I didn’t drink cow milk at all becsuse I find it gross but it definitely does but taste the same

Why not Zoidberg?

I agree, the Democrats can do literally anything (up to and including supporting genocide) so long as they’re marginally less bad than Republicans and we should support them for this reason. This strategy has no foreseeable consequences and can only make things better in the long run.

Be well!

So no one can be called a Fed even if they do the most Fed-like things?

Stop being the chud, then. EZPZ.

The next headline: Chinese Economy on the brink of ruin from too much innovation

BladeRunner: 2049 gets better and better with every viewing. Even more so if you’ve read Pale Fire, which is referenced a few times in the movie. A masterpiece in every way.

I don’t need to provide an alternative to point out that something is bad. I don’t need to follow the hyper-liberal norms and practices that you’re so fond of on sites like reddit, it simply is not a requirement.

It’s a strange twist of logic you have that no one can have an viewpoint counter to yours without providing you an alternative to your liking. Grow the fuck up and learn how to be critical of news sources, or at least how to find sources critical of them. If you’re so good at reading and research and understanding it really should not be an obstacle for you.

You come into this thread high and mighty about your (self-perceived) knowledge and wisdom only to spout ignorant nonesense in reply after reply and then cry when people call you out on it. Intellectually, you are a coward; emotionally, you are a child.

Here’s my counter tl;dr for your reddit-brain: Get fucked.

There’s not a lot of reason to read Capital unless you’re academically interested in all of the details therein; there are good summaries and explanations of that work that are less cumbersome and more relevant to our current time. I’m not saying people shouldn’t read it, just that it’s pretty dense and not really something that should be considered absolutely mandatory for understanding.

Much of what Lenin wrote, however, is a different story. State and Revolution, for example, is short and easy to read and understand. Even someone who has trouble reading could finish it an afternoon, it’s like 100 pages. Just reading 10-15 pages a day - which should be trivially easy - will have it finished in no time. It’s hard to believe someone couldn’t get through a dozen pages of it at a time unless they’re very lazy.

Ah yes, the famously non-ideological and trustworthy AP and NPR.
