When a pretty girl pays attention to you but you remember you are straight :(

Mongolian is similar to Sanskrit, and other Indo-Aryan languages: ० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९ १०

Esperanto is still a thing? I’m surprised.

Now that you mention it, sure, I think counting in Sanskrit would be somewhat amusing. It’s such a serious, proper language. I don’t ever use it in conversation, except for some fun proverbs.

Four. English, Hindi, Marathi (native) and Kannada. Sanskrit as well, but it’s a dead language, and I can’t speak Sanskrit because the grammar is extremely complicated. Had it in school for 3 years. So 5, if you’re counting Sanskrit.

I generally count in English, unless I am using another language with my friends (excluding Sanskrit).

There are more slaves today than there were during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade (not counting indentured servitude, which was abolished only in 1917~1920 by the country that prides itself on ending the slave trade. Not counting serfdom either). Kevin Bales wrote a book on it - ‘Disposable Peoples.’ Salty libs downvoting the comic would benefit from some reading. Read ‘Cobalt Red’ by S. Kara while you’re at it too.

Liberals are so efficient when cracking down on communists, purging them with ruthless efficiency from both the public sphere and the government then why do they go soft on fascists who abuse free speech with some silly milquetoast excuse? It’s so obvious.

Apart from some political communities I like, Science Memes is nice. !science_memes@mander.xyz.

I would have liked !physics@mander.xyz if it was more active :(, I hope it gains traction later.

Communists aren’t evil. That stinks of red scare propaganda. Though apparently she did vote for the Ukrainian invasion, which sucks. And no, that doesn’t devalue the achievements of the Soviet Space program. It does count.

There’s a twitter thread. An account named ‘Anonymous France’ has posted this link : https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file . Cannot verify the veracity of this information, but there was a r/worldnews thread saying that’s its mostly worthless. This news site is known for peddling fake news, so it might be a whole lot of nonsense.

The first ‘female-only crew’ in space is technically Valentina Tereshkova (she went alone). Not these women.

.ml is the only place they actually get downvoted, which is sad because it’s filled with annoying ‘Dengists’.

Yes. You can’t explain women’s pain to those who masturbate to it.

I think he personally admires Netanyahu far more, considering how much his party tactics copy Israel but yeah, birds of a feather.

India is kissing Trump’s arse, unfortunately. They are considering removing tariffs even more than they did before the announcement. Though there’s a UK-India deal floating around as well, and talks with the EU. This might just be anti-China opportunism, though. Apple and Samsung announced that they’re moving their factories to India because of the tariffs.

entoptic blue field phenomenon

Thank you. You’ve solved a mystery that bugged me since forever lol. Yay, I am not crazy. I legit thought there was something wrong with my eyesight all these years, or that they were just weird floaters. Thank you so much, friend. Relate hard to the sound stuff as well, it’s nice to know it happens to other people al well.

Non violence is easy to ignore. First it starts with, ‘Don’t destroy public property.’ Then, it’s, ‘Don’t block roads.’ You get a handful of liberals acting in good faith against a system that always acts on bad faith unless forced to change otherwise. After that, it is, ‘Don’t cause traffic jams.’ All these rules sound fair but they’re designed to keep protests harmless, useless and easily ignored while normalizing such rules so that people are more repulsed by individual violence than state injustice. If you follow the rules, you accomplish nothing because tyrants don’t listen to others; if you don’t, you are a terrorist. Liberals concerned with the optics of protest thus take away the very thing that can save them as the definition of peaceful gets narrower and narrower.

Violence is legitimate for legitimate ends. Power concedes nothing without a struggle.

Lmao, Canada is not Nepal. It would be hard to influence their elections especially after Trump’s victory and rising Canadian nationalism. This is absolutely disastrous.

Turns out the Interpol red alert was for reasons wholly unrelated to the Section 295A case.. He is accused of swindling 15 lakhs from a fellow rationalist. Helsinki Times did some very shoddy journalism, I’ll remove the post immediately.

According to this article, even the value of epsilon is wrong. Epsilon stands for ‘price elasticity’, which seems to measure how much tariffs would affect the price of an item. 0.25 is the value used by the White House, but some economists have come out saying it is actually closer to 0.945, indicating that prices are affected far greater by tariffs than what these buffoons claim. But even with the correct value, the formula makes no sense.

Without the fancy shit, it’s basically (exports/imports) - 1.

So epsilon and phi are just constants that cancel each other out? Wow. This is legit the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard, narrowly beating Narendra Modi’s (a+b)^2 debacle (he said that the 2ab was ‘extra’). Fucking illiterate, aren’t they?

Yes, I hope so too. We’ve already lost so many rationalists to Hindu terrorists :(
