Oh, seems I'm wrong, well that's a bit incongruent if you ask me. Since the force of gravity from earlier isn't that much lower in low earth orbit :/

I think in both cases (modern China, and the USSR), there is a genuine feeling/desire towards the ideals.

In both cases though, it is co-opted for propaganda purposes, and falls pretty flat when inequality is off the charts.

Which is a shame, if you have socialist beliefs

I wish them the best though, and hope they figure things out to bring outcomes more in line with the ideals.

I believe microgravity refers things like walking on the moon. Where the moon's pull on you is far less than than if you were on earth

Can't say I'm terribly creative, the only community I mod I just copied when migrating from Reddit:

So in terms of inventing one from scratch, I dunno haha

For names (suggestions/spitballing) a play on words with the political compass?

I appreciate this so much, thank you for filling those blanks

Um acshually gravity in the international space station is not that much lower than on the surface of earth, just that they are weightless in orbit.

It's hard finding people with this opinion, sadly. I'm with you on this one comrade

Eh, there's a notional aspiration to socialism at least, which is more than can be said about the US sphere of countries.

In practice though? Yeah, China is hyper-captialist, without much of the social security present in wealthier countries.

Why Leftist get a hard-on for the former USSR, Russia and China, or frankly any country, is beyond me.

There are positive and negative outcomes in line or against socialist ideals everywhere (I think people are too black and white about China in both directions personally)

I just do not understand simping for any country, just because they are "socialist".

Pretty sure all platforms support no break space, just that you have to go copy the unicode character if you don't have a shortcut for it

It's U+00A0

My main point was leaving space between values and units. And know many of us have no choice but to use MS at work haha

I better not catch you not leaving space between your values and units no matter the writing software

I like go in add spaces between the value and the unit in documents other people have prepared, when they write 50°C or something. The standard says there should be a space: 50 °C

Non-breaking spaces, even better in my opinion 😘👌

(Alt+0,1,6,0 on the numpad for all my homies using Windows at work)

Don't get me started on people using O's with super script to get degrees, drives me nuts. (Alt+2,4,8, or find it in the MS Word symbols menu ffs)

How in the fuck?

Even more annoying, because there's a bunch of software with bad localisation where we sane DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY.MM.DD users are forced to see the abomination that is MM/DD/YYY and it leads to errors.

I know this is a joke, but could help myself: you can't always just cancel units like this.

It's more like 0.007 m³(fuel burned) / 100,000 m(travelled)

Can't really cancel those.

This is my biggest complaint about SI, kg being the base mass unit with a heckin' prefix.

Bring back the grave 🥲

It's not even mob justice, it's vigilante justice. It just so happens in this case practically everyone is pretty happy about it having happened.

The mob never called for this CEO's death, we're just not sad he was killed. Even if in general most of us wouldn't actively call for people to be killed.

If it makes CEOs afraid, then fantastic, a nice happy side-bonus.

I feel like the engineers set π = 3 meme is from like 50 years ago where you couldn't just punch π into your calculator

Why lying with maths is so easy, the average person, even in developed countries is practically innumerate (massive hyperbole, but the fact lying with numbers is easy, still stands)

Yeah, perhaps my title was a little click-baity. I do hate to hat charity is necessary.

I do, however, dislike charities and people asking for money for charity, not encouraging people to vote for stronger public services.

Indeed, perhaps in retrospect my title was a little click-baity
