  • ‘Everyone wants to come to China now’: Chinese universities draw more foreign students beyond Western countries

    Jump

  • With the us and Russia in free fall, China is the assumed number 1 super power in the near future. And they've done an amazing job in the last 30 years developing the nation, lifting people out of poverty, and growing their soft power. But a population and housing crisis could really hamper things so its really anyone's game right now.

  • 'They’re Lost, Dude’: Jon Stewart Torches DNC After Democrat With Massive Lead Says He’s Heard Zilch From Them

    Jump

  • The interpretations of his reddit threads feel... Very generous.

    Here is this thread as p-hustle about the totenkopf. He responds directly to a thread discussing the totenkopf as a Nazi symbol, but he does not mention it directly but instead talks about the punisher skull. But also he has an acquaintance who said he used to jokingly call the tatoo "my Totenkopf" over a decade ago and who had text receipts of talking about platners Nazi tattoo. plus planters political director, Genevieve McDonald, resigned and said that the campaign had been aware of the tattoo since she joined, and that Platner himself acknowledged it "could be problematic."

    Then the rape threads. How does this sound like someone trying to "dispel any negative internal thoughts?"

    And since were doing reddit threads, here's a bonus where he talks about urinating on dead bodies as only bad due to the current state of media??

    Look, if I lived in Maine, which I don't so it doesn't really matter, I'd vote platner (even if what's her face democrat was still running in the primaries) because fuck the establishment dems and fuck Susan Collins. But I'm sick of pretending he has no red flags. Let's vote for him, but let's watch him like a hawk after.

  • People are taking about graham and not Stewart.

    For graham, I'm going to choose to answer this like you're actually not aware, but he has a history of having had a Nazi totenkopf tattoo that he said he covered up as soon as he realized it was a Nazi tattoo. Except his Reddit history and two acquaintances indicate that he knew for quite a while, for years even, that he had a Nazi tattoobefore covering it up. which also means he has probably lied about it.

    Additionally, he willingly, after being a part of the military and being part of an invasion in the Middle East, chose to join Constellis (formerly blackwater). He was not in combat but still supporting a military mercenary group like this is super sketch.

    Additionally, he has on his Reddit handle had comments in which he is very dismissive of rape and victim blamed quite heavily.

    This is all quite a few years ago and he claims that he's changed a lot as a person, but he has a lot of controversy and a lot of red flags in his past.

    US and Israel launch strikes across Iran as crowds celebrate new supreme leader

  • Yes. The reaction of the Persians I know is shifting a lot. First they celebrated, but I think they are feeling the same whiplash that Iranians did in 1979. The cold war never stops repeating the same story.

  • This is how I feel. I'm enjoying Claude and paying but keeping a close eye. Its nice because it really enables me to do things I am not capable of on my own. I teach as part of my job and used it to code an interactive learning module. Making the module hasn't been quick and I have to babysit the content a lot to get what I want. But I never could have done it on my own and I never could have paid someone to make it for me and it's helping educate people. I see this as the correct use of AI.

  • 'The Establishment Is Spooked': Poll Shows Platner With Big Lead Over Mills in Maine Democratic Primary

    Jump

  • I dunno. I feel like a few countries made a similar bet (but to a higher extreme) during the Arab spring and it went extra bad. It's important to be careful about who and what you're trying to replace an authoritarian system with.

  • 'The Establishment Is Spooked': Poll Shows Platner With Big Lead Over Mills in Maine Democratic Primary

    Jump

  • For this race, I agree. The worst he can be is a Fetterman... Who sucks but is still better than fucking Dr. Oz.

    But be careful with this line of thinking. It's very similar to how the right ended up voting for Trump. It's actually how a lot of really awful governments gained power. "Anything different" than the current catastrophe does not inherently mean better.

  • 'The Establishment Is Spooked': Poll Shows Platner With Big Lead Over Mills in Maine Democratic Primary

    Jump

  • Im pretty wary... i think hes probably got a bit of authoritarian streak and probably got this tat when he was young and dumb and in the military which leans right. I also think people change and he has changed. I think he's taken a hard left on the economy and class consciousness.

    But is his authoritarian streak gone? His reddit comments show that at the time of posting he had little sympathy for sexual assault victims and was at the very least kinda weird about black people. Hes also very pro gun, which I dont find to be an inherent issue and I even agree the left needs to be more prepared and armed, but when lined up with other problematic views it stresses me out. And I dont realllly trust all of his hand waving around the tattoo and reddit comments.

    But maybe should we embrance that hes a bit of a bulldog in an era when the left is so toothless? Also its almost impossible to do worse than Susan Collins lol.

  • hows keto working out for you

    Jump

  • I think, for some people, calorie counting is frutrating. Personally, I'm a bit too neurotic for it. I get really caught up in the details and coutning every calorie right and then frustration when the calories are reported incorrectly or if mutliple sources give different calorie values for the same raw ingredient. I honestly get so obsessive when I try to calorie count it becomes a borderline eating disorder. And, in fact, calroie counting has resulted in eating disorders for many people.

    I think it's good for a lot of other people. But, when it boils down to it, any diet you can stick to is the right diet for you. Seriously, research has shown time and time again that, after a few months, most diets have the same weight loss results for most people if they stick to it. So I personally don't find the "its just calories in and out" rhetoric thats really popular to always be the most correct or helpful statment.
