rando895@lemmygrad.mlto Asklemmy•What do you think about collecting your own data and running your own algorithms?3·18 days agoIts true. But there was this brief, beautiful moment, during the early internet, where you could get good recommendations from YouTube…

rando895@lemmygrad.mlto chat@hexbear.net•What's the point in explaining how the world works to people anymore?English11·21 days agoIf I were taught this version of Jesus, I would likely be religious. Also, did Sankara write any books?
rando895@lemmygrad.mltoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•RFK Jr. Set to Launch Disease Registry Tracking Autistic PeopleEnglish2·22 days agoIf this is a quip to say “now those who can, will hide their neuro-divergence to protect themselves , and it will seem like there are fewer” then I agree.
But I think what you are saying is “now all the fakers will back track! Hahaha gotcha!” Licks boot.
If so then, disrespectfully, go fuck yourself
rando895@lemmygrad.mlto Global News@lemmy.zip•China says it wants to partner with Canada to push back against American ‘bullying’62·24 days agoSo we have clear examples of American bullying. Do you have examples of Chinese bullying?
rando895@lemmygrad.mlto Asklemmy•Do you guys have the meme that is 2 charts showing deaths by the system and the capitalist is crying calling the communist evil when the capitalist system bar is through the roof in the chart?8·24 days agoSo Stalin helped kill a buttload of Nazis which is nice.
And saying “under Chinese rule” is a weird way to state it. I mean, of course the Chinese people should rule themselves. Unless you’re butt hurt about China resisting the western colonial powers and murdering a bunch of capitalists.
Given the bad faith of your comment, I feel no need to elaborate, clarify, or provide nuance.
rando895@lemmygrad.mlto Canada@lemmygrad.ml•Federal report warns of bleak future as Canada faces economic meltdown3·24 days agoAre you doing a bit?
Otherwise in short: socialism is when the businesses, organizations, economy, and government are owned democratically by the workers.
When these things are owned or managed (either undemocratically, or with limited democracy for the workers) by the wealthy owning class, also known as capitalists or those who dont work but rather live off investments and property, that is called capitalism.
For example:
You and 3 friends own a business equally, making decisions together, and choosing what to do with the profits. This would be more of a socialist enterprise even if its for profit.
Alternatively:
You start a business and hire 3 staff. You pay them a wage, but you make all of the decisions about the business and its profits. This is more of a capitalist enterprise.
You can roughly apply this to other organizations, including the government.
Now, a country “being more socialist” would have more democratic control by the workers. A country being more “capitalist” would have more control by the wealthy capitalist owning class.
If the politics and economics are dominated by a workers democracy, you could consider that country socialist. If its dominated by the wealthy, then it would be a capitalist country.
In either set up, there is no guarantee of any particular social policy, only some that are more likely to pass.
Under socialism, people may or may not decide to have universal healthcare, just like under capitalism. However, the people making the decisions under the two different systems are different, just like their class interests. So, it is more likely that when people make democratic decisions under socialism, they would choose universal healthcare (also known as socialized healthcare). Under capitalism, those making the decisions (the capitalists and their sympathetic politicians) can use their wealth, power, and influence to access healthcare no matter what. So they may choose to forego universal healthcare because it takes away from government capital that could support capitalist investments, and private healthcare is another opportunity for capitalists to profit.
In short:
You are wrong. Please have a bit of a think, and don’t be afraid of words like “class”, “capitalism”, etc.

Fuck off, or learn something
rando895@lemmygrad.mlto US News@lemmygrad.ml•Eggs are so expensive that some Americans are decorating potatoes this Easter3·28 days agoIt would be better to compare the cost using average wages, or even minimum wage. Where I live in the west we could get about 282kg of eggs permonth on minimum wage (pretax), and in some Chinese provinces (minimum wage varies) you could get 340kg.
rando895@lemmygrad.mlto US News@lemmygrad.ml•Eggs are so expensive that some Americans are decorating potatoes this Easter3·28 days agoYes, you can choose to decorate eggs OR potatoes. Why not apples! This is true freedom. No shegingping telling you what you can and can’t decorate!
+1 capitalism
rando895@lemmygrad.mlto Asklemmy•What task would you excel in if you lived in the Stone Age?1·28 days agoI started reading and was like “okay, sure buddy” then I remembered I have developed a lot of the same skills, including tracking wildlife.
And then I remembered the time I learned to identify clay deposits and to separate out the clay so I could build stuff with it.
So I thought: “wth, this is so weird! Ohh, they have ADHD too… That explains a lot”.
I wasn’t diagnosed at the time, when I was learning to find clay, but that should have been a sign lol
Because clearly the worst thing that could happen to a man, is to lose to a woman …
Whats wrong with you?

How, in your opinion, is China behaving as a bully?
rando895@lemmygrad.mlto news@hexbear.net•[BBC live feed of the market crash] Trump threatens extra 50% tariff on China unless it drops retaliatory levyEnglish3·1 month agoThey can definitely sell them elsewhere, and if companies threaten to abandon ship, while I am just hypothesizing here, China likely has a legal way to seize the factories to prevent the loss of productive capacity.
rando895@lemmygrad.mlto news@hexbear.net•Trump put tariffs on uninhabited islandsEnglish5·1 month agoIf we assume he and his administration are stupid, ya maybe they messed up. But if there was a thought involved, having every piece of land subject to tariffs means there will be fewer loop holes to avoid them.
For example, changing your business address to one of these islands.
Definitely ask your advisor, but also, depending on your school, those credits may count towards your degree but cannot be used as a pre-requisite for another course.
