Depends on why you want to learn the language. I'd say mandarin could be very useful to know for future employment prospects.

And if any Democrat ever said anything similar every single Faux News propagandist would look like this on their nightly two minutes hate shows:

And the grift continues.... He found yet another revenue stream for himself and his buddies... manipulate the market. He'll buy again after he tanks the markets and then let go of the tarrifs as he has been doing over and over so he can sell.

Rinse and repeat...

As someone native to the armpit of NY (long Island) I'm pretty sure we're just going to elect Mr.Sexpest because he has name recognition and we have the memory span of dead amoebas...

Plus the MSM will just spend the entire election going: SOCIALIST!!! BE AFRAID! HE'S A SOCIALIST!!! AHHHHHH!!!!

He's been doing it a lot lately, it's so absurd...

Any person that so desperately wants a position of high power like this is 100% planning on abusing that power. I'm glad the fucker is out, for now...

They already bypassed the parliamentarian on a vote that was supposed to be supermajority not a simple majority to stop California from enacting emissions regulation.

They're just going to give the parliamentarian the finger again.

Roving bands of wild stoned hippies are attacking innocent cyclists for their Arby's! They're a menace to society!

That's actually really good to hear! Hopefully less people are left behind because of the dumb way we would teach things.

I'm sort of like this especially when it comes to math, but mostly because my memory is shit.

I can't just memorize a formula, I need to know how something works and then I can work out what i need to do. The "understanding" is what triggers the memory to stick, not the need to remember "you need to use x+y-65bm(y+ba)/gap+5-13 when you have a problem involving bears." I'll never just remember that. I basically always barely passed my math classes in highschool...

So I never studied science and never followed my passions and am now in a factory lol stupid memory...

 

25 minute exposure of NGC 2264 taken with a seestar s50. Testing the new denoise function added in the most resent seestar firmware update.

No further post processing so colors seem to be a bit off as a result of the denoise feature, but otherwise an amazing result as most images from the seestar s50 contain a lot of RGB noise!

 
 

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
