Se [Fabiano] aprendesse qualquer coisa, necessitaria aprender mais, e nunca ficaria satisfeito.

Hans Asperger was a Nazi collaborator.

I had a great idea, what if we tried to do science, but with data??

  • This graph is golden. How I’d long for a time machine to show this graph to every annoying redditor talking about how Zelensky would march on Moscow with their “spring counteroffensive” 8 months ago.

    This other one is also a great visualization. I’ve been in small cities with less than 1 million inhabitants with more territory than that.

    If anything, this makes Russia’s new gains sound very unimpressive, if one can only think of war in terms of Paradox game map painting. Clearly that’s not how it works, but I won’t opine on how the war really is going because I haven’t done enough research.

    Could this war perhaps be over this year? I wonder how it’ll affect USA elections or the inevitable riot upon Confirmation Day if it ends before then.





  • Lots of beans and bean-like foods (chickpeas, lentils, peas, soy beans) can be made into a variety of shapes. If you have a pressure cooker you can even cook them relatively quickly in mass and freeze most of it for later. No idea how much that costs in your country, but it’s supposed to be cheap.

    You can just make regular bean “soup”, or you can “fry” them in a pan (specially lentils). You can eat chickpeas like popcorn or you can mix them with flour and something sticky (overcooked rice if vegan, egg whites otherwise) and make burgers. Just remember to put something oily like olive oi or butter for taste.

    You can also do some really low-nutrition despair foods by mixing wheat flour, salt, water and butter, and frying that in a pan. It’s not healthy, but it’s filling and easy to make, tastes like bread. But of course, if you add to this you can make other cool stuff like pancakes (less salt, lots of sugar, baking powder).

    All of the fried stuff get a very homogeneous consistency so they might be fine for your sensory issues.

    On the matter of taste, you just need a lot of seasoning.

    The United States is not Ukraine’s only ally, but it is the only one with the willingness and means to supply Ukraine’s war effort. Many European nations lack a political tradition of arming other countries. They have sent Ukraine some impressive weapons, like German tanks and Swedish shoulder-fired missiles. But “they cannot pump out munitions,” Julian said. “They cannot produce large numbers of artillery shell rounds — the No. 1 thing Ukraine needs.”

    This whole paragraph is truly a piece of Yankee writing.


  • Não vejo porque uma moeda “auto-regulada” seria mais democrática do que uma regulada por um estado socialista, que por definição defende os interesses do proletariado.

    E eu ainda não vi nenhuma evidência de que criptomoedas podem ser estáveis e realmente usáveis como moedas.

    Mas aí entra minha pergunta: porque que criptomoedas seriam melhores que dinheiro regulado por um banco central socialista ou ideias mais complexas como vale-trabalho? Qual o problema da classe trabalhadora que elas solucionam?



  • The USA is the leading tiktok-using country, I’ll give them that. But according to this statista page, the following three countries already double the total of USA users.

    That means ByteDance stands to lose way more by divesting themselves of TikTok than losing their USA audience. Not only are they isolating themselves diplomatically and economically from the rest of the world, now they’re backing down in hubris culturally as well.

    Although I really dislike the TikTok business model for obvious reasons, banning it on USA territory is going to be really nice for the whole TikTok ecosystem.

    So, when poor oppressed Americans are going to start getting VPNs to escape their Great Firewall?
