Not supporting Putin at all, but I like people to be accurate;

If Democracy prevents war, then how come USA has been at war for a vast majority of its existence?

It was an ex-field marshal of Napoleon, as King of Sweden, that started the "tradition" of Sweden staying out of wars. Part of accepting him as new Crown Prince by the parliament, was the expectation that he would attack Russia and bring Finland back to Sweden.

I fail to see that there is any direct causation.

my observations regarding st. johns worth (not professional etc. disclaimer)

try it as tea, works better than the extract pills. almost as if plants were not meant to be used as absurdly high concentrated extracts.

generation "Z" got a new meaning the last week, didn't it.

it's interesting how eager people are to fight and possibly die only to be exploited by other capitalists in the end.

i can get it if you fight in, say, national socialists vs. communists. or anarchists vs. monarchists. or islamic state vs. the west. there's likely some real difference for you in the end if you live.

i need more mathematician friends on mastodon. can you boost this for visibility, please?

E ink screen with HDMI input arrived! Took a bit of tinkering, but it seems to work!

Reddit... Moment? (Wtf is forced breeding and why do I already suspect that I know what it is)

Hey Fediverse! I need your help.

I met a very sweet old man named Tom. He used to work for IBM. He's probably 75 years old or so.

He has a floppy disk that allegedly contains documents his father wrote.

He wants me to try to copy it.

My floppy drive isn't reading it.

I want some suggestions on next steps on how to proceed. I recognize that the disk is probably shot, but I really want to give it the old college try.

@bonifartius A century ago academics were tasked to argue for/against any position on any subject, then to switch side and continue. To fully understand how to be able to hold multiple viewpoints in the head at the same time. Now we are the worst of the worst kind of people for having an singleton individual thought and expressing it.
