It's a podcast not a documentary, but I absolutely love Revolutions by Mike Duncan. Every other history podcast I've tried has exactly the problem you're describing here.

I'm not a socialist by any means (well, I have been called one by republicans...) but I've always hated this argument. The USSR and China are the only two I'm aware of that weren't massively screwed over in their infancy by the US, and/or (usually and) manipulated by the USSR.

Or shall I find you a box?

In general yeah, but let's not blame the farmers. They're shit on from so many directions it's wild - they're often locked into deals with specific companies with contracts that can sometimes cost them more money than they make. Tyson is especially notorious for this, requiring the farmers to build specific chicken houses that the farmer pays for, on land that the farmer pays for to raise chickens they're only allowed to sell to Tyson, all while Tyson can and regularly does choose not to buy the chickens if they're not selling enough. Farmers have managed to find themselves indentured servants on their own land.

Mega mean 1024 of something right?

I think you're right in what you're saying but not what I think you're implying. The solution to one problem is mental health regulations, the solution to the other is improper use regulations. Which are different, but fall under the same umbrella.

Either way, taking about cars is exactly where I'd take the comparison because it's the only other commonly owned (highly effective) weapon in the us. We require a license to use one and liability insurance to own one, then take that license away if you show that you can't use it properly. That's exactly what if like to see happen to guns.

To be fair, what type of renewable resources could you even use in the sunshine state, or along the windy beaches of Daytona. The state just isn't a good fit.

It's the same metaphor though. Helping a group of people doesn't hurt a different group. Did they make a decision based on whether they expected to get help: yes. Does providing that help against that expectation hurt them: no.

It's an especially good metaphor because nobody is even talking about taxing tradies to fund the relief.

Looks awesome! Can you share the recipe?

I feel like your mixing up Julian Assange with Snowden.

Personally I think both started off doing what they believed was right, and both fled to the non-extradition of russia; but Assange not Snowden kept doing shit and it stopped feeling genuine.

I could be wrong - if Snowden has done things far worse than I'm aware shoot some links with credible sources.

IE is still there. You can't use it anymore but Windows can. I also don't think they can ever get rid of IE Options - they changed the name to Internet Options but it's exactly the same and will break so many networks if they ever get rid of it

I joined lemmy. Two months later I'm seriously considering getting tested...

I'm guessing smoothness doesn't consider the non-spherical shape of the planet, just the bumpiness of it. But I'm also some random on the Internet, so who knows

I tend to do the same thing. I find it's very helpful to find other people who enjoy debate, but to keep in mind that we're the weird ones. Most people find disagreement to be unpleasant and tend to struggle with separating disagreement with an idea and disagreement with a person. My best friend once described me as a good person and a terrible friend - I make it my goal to live up to that.

Actually you meant compliance, security has other random stuff. /s

Well morgoth went down to Arnor he was looking for a soul to steal...

I like kbin for the sorting algorithm and the website UI, but mostly use lw because of jerboa
