have you met many quants? a large number of them are like that, in much the same way that crypto currency people are (in fact, i think the crypto people are like that because they are poorly copying the quants).

usually the bits here are somewhat over the top, but this is a very modest proposal.

i'm so tired of libs (especially "leftists") saying things like this are a win, or even that this is a "pretty significant shift in the status quo" (literally quoting one of them) because they might consider restricting arm transfers. another one i saw mentioned potential domestic military raids as a reason not to vote for Trump. the american left is fucking cooked. willing to vote for a genocide to save themselves is pure cowardice.

Beginner texts to philosophy? in c/asklemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml

the process, in brief, goes something like this:

  1. you write something (if this is the first time through this sequence for this work, it will definitely be bad. that's ok and expected)
  2. analyze that, which will reveal some significant flaws
  3. figure out some ways that may help with those flaws
  4. go back to step one with your improved understanding

this can be very frustrating to begin with, but after a few tries you will start to see some improvement, and maybe even something you actually like.

unfotunately, you have once again overestimated the morons. i know at least one who responded to this with "she's being quoted out of context".

patsocs are a Problem for marxists getting our message out (lemmygrad.ml)
 

there's a guy that i'm mutuals with on other social media who's on the young side, like just out of college, and he's figuring out what he thinks about politics. he's pretty smart and hangs around cool marxist(-leninist) people, but he's definitely trying to figure out stuff on his own, which is really cool and he's critically engaging with stuff well.

however, it seems like he's seen a lot of patsocs and ACP members bring up weird corners of Marx's writing to try to justify their positions. the particular case he brought up recently was about an ACP guy on twitter using the productive vs unproductive labor distinction to call baristas (you know, people who make coffee for usually really low wages) enemies of the working class because they are unproductive labor. my friend was worried that this kind of weird nonsense argument was necessary for marxists in general. me and some other people explained that no, the ACP guys are picking weird bits of Marx to try to justify their reactionary bullshit and we actually mostly focus on class and not this other stuff. so like no harm done here, but it makes me wonder how often those kind of things go unchallenged in other people's experience.

the lead dev has gone on the record that using singular they in the documentation is putting politics into his project, so i expect it to be possibly technically interesting (emphasis on possibly), but no effort put into accessibility and with a fucking horrendous dev community.

'In four years, you don't have to vote again,' Trump says | REUTERS in c/worldnews@lemmygrad.ml
[–] bestmiaou@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 3 months ago (3 children)

i think the way they want it to be understood is "if elected, i will so thoroughly address all of the issues you care about that you don't have to vote on them again", which is kind of reasonable until you try working out how that would happen
