Why is Hitler popular in India? Is it just an anti-British thing?

I know that some Irish and Indians sought alliance with Hitler to aid in their own liberation. Finland did the same thing, not because Britain was an Allied nation, but because the USSR was.

The point of those kind of estimation methods is not so you’ll agree with a clock, it’s so you’ll agree with yourself if you do it twice. Using a “foot” as a literal measuring unit isn’t so dumb if only one person is measuring.

In cooking, what a “cup” is in volume can vary by like 30% from cook to cook and depending on environmental factors. But if you’re the same cook, working in the same environment, your method will work every time.

This is a classic example of the decline of the American standard of living!

Boomer misogynists were able to hate their wives. GenX hated on their girlfriends. GenY is forced to hate women in theory.

They are however partisan hacks.

It’s worse than that, they’re actively corrupt. Robert’s or Alito’s Judicial philosophy is as irrelevant as Thomas’ racial identity; they believe in getting paid.

The responses to this post are why I like lemmy.

I read this meme and dropped in here to pile on the Christian, only to find out that ya’ll are more knowledgeable and kinder than I am.

Tax that peckerwood until he starts singing spirituals.

we were not considered white until the twentieth century.

That’s a myth. While the Irish were certainly looked down upon by other Europeans, they were still European Christians and therefore white.

The Irish are set apart in Western Europe due to her anti-colonial struggles. And they were absolutely subjected to ethnic abuse at home and as immigrants. But the Irish colonial project wasn’t underpinned by race-science the way African and American projects were. It was just regular imperialism: original recipe.

This is similar to people in Eastern Europe. The word Slav sounds like slave and that’s not a coincidence.

Authors who use AI should print the suffix “et a.i.” after their name on the cover.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the Bab-el-Mandeb.

People I respect are predicting the Houthis will start threatening shipping through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. (should open hostilities resume) Just like they did during the Gaza genocide.

This would be a catastrophe for Europe. Pretty much everything that ships between Europe and Asia goes through that Canal.

I would argue that misogyny and racisim are ascendant in our time.

Sure, open racism was much worse, but they also were in the aftermath of 2nd wave feminism and the Civil Rights movement; things were getting better.

It’s those very strides that have aggravated the backlash we see now; things are getting worse.

So I’m not saying 1970 was better than today, but I’d argue that the early 2000s were.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen official Doom packaging and media. And I’ve been playing Doom since it was new.

This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

What are your qualifications? Because If you’re not something like a trained sociologist, then your a hypocrite.

I’ve never seen a single video on Lemmy of a dude punching a woman. That shit is on the front page of reddit every day.

Each individual video seems justifiable. Usually the girl is assaulting the dude first. But you have to wonder why videos of that act is a whole fucking genre into it’self.

Unpopular Opinion: starting wars that murder hundreds of thousands of innocent people for no reason is worse than the Epstein scandal. Though I admit my reasoning depends on the value of Arab lives being way higher than most Westerners would allow.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to gather racial data. Knowing that black Americans are more susceptible to high blood pressure isn’t racist.

By attacking the UAE port that’s not behind their blockade, Iran is signaling that regional oil production are going to be it’s primary targets should hostilities resume. They have missiles and drones left and refineries, ports, and pipelines are hard to move out of the way. They also, with the help of their allies, they could bottle up the Bab-el-Mandeb (straight between Somalia and Yemen).

The problem was that the work tasks were supposed to occupy the students as well as teach them. The teacher was annoyed because this kind of student requires more attention than a student kept busy for the allotted time.

The idea that educating students is the primary goal of school at any level is naive. Everything up to the High-School level is half job-training and half daycare. Education is something that the student may pursue, but it’s optional.

Humanoid robots are never going to be a thing. We just imagine that because it’s what we’re used to, work being done by people. Kind like how the first cars looked like carriages.

Why in heaven would you design hips, legs, knees, balance, and coordination, when wheels exist?
