  • Per your other comment

    First of all it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk is a Nazi.

    I see where the cognitive dissonance kicks in. You do not want to be mistaken for a nazi sympathizer, but refuse to distance yourself from them on some basis of believed plausible deniability. Is it perhaps because you are indeed sympathetic to some of their fascist talking points?

  • Out of curiosity, if Kanye West opens a book club for reading Mein Kampf, would you join it to keep up to date with unfiltered political analysis by a piece of shit? If the answer is no, maybe you should reconsider your stance on X.

  • They did not merely passively "assist". They established factories in close proximity to the death camps so that they could profit off of the slave labour deemed too fit for immediate extermination.

  • Get the Ashes of Erebus mod for Civilization IV instead!

  • I do not need a medal to call someone out for spreading misinformation. Sure you can have an opinion on mathematics without being a mathematician. However, you are undereducated and make false statments about the subject, while being ignorant and arrogant to those that correct you. That makes you a dick and me not hesitate to dunk on you.

  • More boosters, kiddo!

  • Weird to flex when you have nothing to show off. Let me show you how you do it, buddy: I am a mathematician. Infinity, density and cardinality of sets are not mysterious to me because I read a lot of books. If you read a few then you might discover your very cool comment above was actually not so cool and true.

  • They should look up the classic example of rationals in the real numbers. Their statement could hardly be more wrong.

  • As an algebraic topologist who did not even touch anything less "pure" than PDE during my master's degree, I would say the following: You have many possibilities, but you might have to rebrand yourself a little.

    I went into a government job (DM me for details as I am already too identifiable). I was really unsure about going the PhD route or not, and ultimately opted for what I thought would make me the most happy. I am pretty sure it was right for me, though it is a little bittersweet in retrospect.

    In my opinion the people matter more than the place, and with sufficient freedom and autonomy a mathematician can make any task interesting. Think about how you can make your skills useful for other things than pure maths (in a manner you could also enjoy) and sell yourself to an employer on that premise.

  • LunarVim is dead I think. In the issues section the (main?) dev says they recommend switching to something else and that they have gone over to Astronvim.

  • How is the schooling I have received (in Norway) reposting American propaganda? If anything, proper schooling was a key component in making me a communist.

  • This dynamic gets redacted from the mainstream western worldview with the assistance of the western propaganda services known as the mass media, as well as the western indoctrination system known as schooling.

    Kinda lame to project the US' deficient systems on all Western nations.

  • It is cheaper to eat unhealthy than healthy in most countries that have no food scarcity, which means that much of the working class basically eats the scraps of the rich. As an additional consequence of the capitalist mode of (over)production, there are in the same countries a lot of eating disorders, in big part due to the pressure of commercial advertisements.

  • Yeah, it is almost as if the companies operating in the area are price gouging on the basis of workers' salaries 🤔

  • As a Norwegian I talked to some acquaintances about a TV-series they liked and I asked "Cool, where can I watch it?". Then we all just looked at each other and laughed.

  • You see, streaming is a service and you choosing to not use their service is... uhmm... theft!

  • Ah, the proudest of leftist traditions: Disagreeing with other leftists. Serves us right for not being brain-dead reactionaries. Can't spell critical thinking without the C, I and A.
