Naumova also refuses to consider communism an extinct ideology. A staunch adherent and member of Russia’s communist Party, she firmly believes that the teachings of Marx and Lenin deserve another chance.
“To me, communism, first and foremost, equals justice. I cannot say that I studied it extensively — one needs to read a lot of books in order to do so, which is something that I’ve yet to accomplish. But I do know that in the Soviet Union people enjoyed considerable social protection. Any kid from Siberia, if he wanted it, could apply to any university without having to pav bribes. But now society is divided into classes: there are the rich who can afford almost anything, and there are ordinary people who’re limited to living in small apartments, eating low-quality food bought in chain stores and working all day long in order to survive and feed their children. I believe that this is unjust, and this is why I’m a member of the Komsomol,” she declared.
(I used OCR, but think I cleaned it up. Excuse mistakes).
To me, it sounds like deliberate misinformation to downplay Ukrainian losses. The western media Russian losses aren’t fooling anyone who has reason to be critical of the reporting (like it not making sense) or anyone who is ideologically pro-Russian. So if they release something like this where the Russian number is in the ballpark of what makes sense, they can “verify” the other number.
I don’t mind ads (though I turned them off), to me what makes me upset about these sponsored links is that they feel like they’re violating my space. I wasn’t communicated clear terms for them.
Are they being downloaded from the internet? I didn’t ask you to download ads from the internet. Can they change? Who’s responsible for changing them? I don’t want Google, Amazon and Adidas to have a direct line of communication with my browser. Is that paranoid? Yeah probably, it’s almost certainly updated together with the rest of Firefox, but it wasn’t communicated to me, so it feels violating.
I’d sooner accept much larger ads if they looked more static. Mozilla probably feels these look pretty static, but they definitely could look more static.
For this I would like to know if there are any things that [are] still unclear now.
I’m registered on Lemmygrad. Lemmygrad and Lemmy are federated, I see this post. How come I can’t see all Lemmy.ml communities? Is that Lemmygrad’s decision? Is that something I could override with a different Lemmy client, but without having to register in the Lemmy.ml instance?
As reference, the community librewolf is not accessible from Lemmygrad.ml.
Cho Jung-hun’s thought process.
> Me and my husband both work but we still have plenty of time for raising children. What resource do I have that poor families don’t?
> We have maids; They need maids
> They can’t afford maids because they earn minimum wage and the maid earns minimum wage.
> If we increase minimum wage, the maid’s pay would increase so they still wouldn’t be able to afford a maid. Higher wages is a no-go.
> I know, we need people who are poorer than poor people! Then all the poor people can have maids! I solved it.
Why does anyone watch Linus Tech Tips? I watched his hot takes videos for context and he comes off as such an idiot. Last time his name made the rounds was when he was surprised deleting his desktop graphics makes the computer start up in text mode. (In that video, he had to dismiss several warnings, including one that made him type out with words exactly what he wanted to happen, and then complained he wasn’t warned…) But he has like 5 million subscribers.
I also didn’t really think RMTransit’s rebuttal was very strong. He barely addressed the main issue of Klanadian cities being too spread out and lacking in services and destination density.
One thing he said is that if you build a bike network, people will start using it, and the quality of the individual bike paths is something that should be addressed afterwards. But I disagree strongly, if the bike path is unsafe or unpleasant, it doesn’t matter how theoretically complete the network is, no one will want to use it twice. In Europe, we don’t have bike networks. We have safe streets and pleasant streets. People try really hard to avoid biking next to car traffic. Car noise is probably the main reason anyone has to avoid biking.
The main point of it not being too late stands. But again, he argues this by talking about Amsterdam (one globally small city) in the 60s and contrasting it to today. But he characterises that comparison as a 30 year project. It isn’t, it’s 50 years, and in the 50 years that have elapsed, Vancouver has continued to develop towards cars. Amsterdam in the 60s had fewer giant viaducts, it had denser neighbourhoods, more corner stores, it didn’t have any massive urban sprawl. It does get harder if you pivot later. Just because they managed in 30 years doesn’t mean the same effort and approaches would fix Vancouver in 30 years. Not to mention Amsterdam is very far from good right now.
I feel a lot of western-left, liberal YouTubers are very afraid of rallying behind new technology and radical redevelopment. It makes sense, because if you live in a capitalist country, a massive redevelopment project will inevitably be usurped by capital interest. But asking for smaller and smaller concessions isn’t a solution either.
