Kamala continuing her streak of being one of the top losers of all time

Engineering is the most chud of all academic fields. Beyond the engineering stemlord aspect, there’s a lot of military money floating around.

There’s some similar things with bio fields and pharmaceutical/bioengineering money.

/r/WorldNews is a controlled garden, and if you say anything against the moderation’s line, you’ll get banned. It’s even become noticeable even to normal ass Reddit users.

Yeah, machine learning actually has a ton of very useful applications in things. It’s just predictably the dumbest and most toxic manifestations of it are hyped up in a capitalist system.

To be honest, I’m skeptical. While the UAW has gotten better, and Shawn Fain was an improvement, the org is still not great. There’s a lot of functionaries still lurking around, doing business union things.

Yeah this is just math.

Oh yeah I certainly agree. It definitely matters a lot. I just don't the west has the industrial capacity currently to match that rate. Most of the arms were from deep, old, stockpiles, not fresh production. There'd need to be a pretty big reindustrialization push to get anywhere close.

While you might not agree with everything on our instance, the weekly news threads are pretty good at collating news and sources as things happen. It’s a decent thing to browse at least.

In the queue of about 130 people, only 20 are male. Men aged 18-60 are not allowed to leave Ukraine unless they qualify for an exemption. Four of those waiting are young lads who look close to turning 18. To avoid the risk of mobilisation, they must leave before then. Of course, some men find ways to get out anyway, legally or illegally. On August 11th President Volodymyr Zelensky announced he was sacking the heads of the country’s regional military recruitment centres, where officials were alleged to be selling travel permits for up to $10,000. “Bribery during war is treason,” Mr Zelensky railed.

In the initial period after the invasion most men trying to get across were driven by fear, says Colonel Trachuk. Now she reckons half are looking for work. But those trying to escape military service must live at risk of being apprehended by recruitment officers and press-ganged. At the beginning of the invasion Ivan, a 42-year-old musician in Uzhhorod, contemplated enlisting, but changed his mind when he saw coffins arriving. Now, he says, he is in constant fear of being called up: “I feel like I am hanging in the air.”
