Ok yea I would watch that too

Death’s End by Liu Cixin

Heatwaves like these always happen in south European countries during July, nothing new>

Ah right. Guess that hottest temp ever recorded last week was nothing to be concerned about.

Just a climate troll doing your thing based on your comment history.

Well said and yea if you find a “unbiased source” for news, you’ve only fallen for their bias.

Be critical even of what interests you, and read things you don’t like as well.

I have a few since I’m a historian:

The revolutions of 1848 Europe, particularly Berlin or Paris. The atmosphere in that year was confusing, conflicting, and explosive. People wanted generally better lives, and put their own on the line to see it happen in numbers that shock us today.

The fall of the T’ang dynasty and the early Song dynasty. I’d love to see if the Naito Hypothesis holds up as a viewer of that time and space.

The Atlantic Revolutions between 1770s to 1800. So American, Haitian, French, etc. The birth of nationhood (in Europe), a new consciousness found its footing, and what it meant to have liberty, to be human, and to be unfree were changing.

And Japan in the 1930’s. How fascism developed in the country. It’s a question that’s big in Japanese history, and not so clear today.

Agreed, it doesn’t have to be the way it is

I found my path after university. I worked in the library bc it was a great and easy gig since I liked books, but took a year after to figure out if it was right for me. Now I’m going on to be a librarian!

Almost every comment I’ve seen sees the future as hopeless and I’m going to largely chalk that up to the postmodernism/realism consciousness in our society at this time period.

I think the future will be a utopia, and there isn’t a long term (I mean centuries or millenia long developments) reason to think otherwise. The idea of utopia has pushed civilization to confront power structures and create new ones, to rethink what was impossible, too difficult to accomplish, etc. The many rights, freedoms, and ideas that many around the world take for granted today began as people envisioning a utopia and trying to make it happen. These ideas can’t be done away with as Alexis De Tocqueville saw.

Right now there are problems for sure, and I personally think liberty and egality are only a parody of utopia at this point, but that’ll change over a long time.

Human civilization is only 6000 years old! We’re still working with the brain of primitive humans, and we aren’t even toddlers yet in the grand lifespan of Earth. I think people tend to forget that sometimes.

We’ll get to a better place, and our consciousness is always changing to confront the problems we face today (biosphere collapse, resource hoarding, infighting, etc).

Democracy took centuries to develop coherently, and even then it failed MANY times at first. But look at it now.

I heard the view is out of this world!

Communist, everything else still worships money.

Redhat: Yes, but also we are liars.

At least here there is no algorithm I think?

Stank memes?

Why does this read like a cartoon character wrote it?

I think this is so interesting…

For a refreshing change, we have corporations coming to the users, not the other way around.

I’m deeply skeptical, but I’m glad communities and hubs have the power to block them outright.

This is so cute! A rat room would be really cool, you might need more rats to fill it too

I loved it, the main story, crew quests, combat, customization were the highlights of the game for me.

Cutscenes are gorgeous and it’s definitely worth it if you are a fan of the franchise.

Awesome pic and I love him too

It’s because the moderation policies of those instances are very lenient. Beehaw wanted to curb that sort of crowd from potentially making a mess out of their own.

Although Beehaw is discussing with the other instances about reuniting potentially…

There isn’t explicitly a profit motive on here (unlike almost every other big social media site).

So you can do away with the clickbait-y, karma or like farming…

We don’t do that here.
