In a fight between delusion and physics, physics may always win but delusion never concedes.
Australia and New Zealand should align with Europe. Having lived in both Australia and Europe, Australia is a Commonwealth country that is closer to European values than it is to American. Especially now, with the United States undergoing political and economic collapse.
I wish someone would make a Plan 9 distribution.
Blah blah blah
The difference engine was never built by Babbage.
This is a false comparison built upon a false presumption.
All the ways that loom stitching - like a player piano - is not Turing complete, much less like large training set AI.
No. There are genuine problems with EVs in the kind of cold and snow Canada sees in the heartland and up north. But you’ll see lots of EVs in Vancouver, where weather is moderate.
In Vancouver, BC. There are public toilets here. Big self cleaning stainless steel boxes on the sidewalk. Go in, have your piss. Except there’s also a huge drugged out street population too. So I’m walking Robeson St and I see a wasted guy pissing on the outside of the toilet in broad daylight. I’m like, he’s missing the mark in more ways than one!
Marx did not - could not - conceive of thinking machines in Capital. AI is in a different class than a weaving mill.
Words have meaning. People and their movements may realign, but this does not negate historical fact. The entire premise is wrong. Liberalism IS definitionally the left.
Please read more books.
That IS what it meant. And if you read conservative monarchists like Edmund Burke, and his critique of the French Revolution, the criticism he presents is that. The Right. In support of monarchy for stability, much like Hobbes’ Leviathan. Whereas classical liberalism was republican (with a little r), meaning equality under the law regardless of one’s caste position. And if you go to Marx, I mean actually read the essays he and Engles wrote, you’ll see he actually promoted democratic freedoms and worker owned coops. Not state communism. He’d have considered Leninism and particularly Stalinism and Maoism to be abhorrent. Because… hear me out here, because dictatorships are but many forms of Kingship and monarchy. Which Marx OPPOSED.
It’s relevant because it goes to the foundation of the word “left” and “leftism”. To claim otherwise is to misunderstand its very meaning.
No. It’s fucking history.
WHERE DID LIBERALS SIT IN THE ASSEMBLEE NATIONALE DURING THE FRENCH REVOLUTION? TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT???
If you wear a tie it’s because you have to. Ties are very out of fashion now.

I lived in France for two years and spent a good deal of time in Germany. There are areas of extreme poverty, even in the most advanced EU countries. But the linked article and study exaggerates the reality of it in comparison to the rest of the world.
I like the Ionic.
I’m going to guess this was at 2am in the morning after a night of drinking at the local strip club. He just found himself at a table hungover, with a coffee and a plate of greasy bacon and eggs, wondering how he’d got there. Must have been a UFO portal. Couldn’t possibly have been a drunken blackout. No, siree.
I like my ICE motorcycle. Vroom! Vroom!
