  So MAGA is not the side I would take in a civil war, even if I were an American, however: “Experience has shown that attacks against tanks with close combat weapons by a sufficiently determined man will basically always succeed.”

  Look at the early stages of the Ukraine war Russia had in many heavy equipment categories a 5:1 superiority, Ukraine had comparitively few Tanks/AFVs/Aircrafts/Artillery/etc… yet still held it’s own in no small part due to trenchlines of conventional boot-on-floor infantry men, mines, cheap drones, shoulder launched atgms and good motivation/organisation.

  As in like roleplay? Or is the information asymmetry still a thing in your brain?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We unleashed Facebook and Instagram’s algorithms on blank accounts. They served up sexism and misogyny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We scrolled through the feed every couple of weeks to check what was being served up.

  This is a critical flaw in the studies methodology. ‘loiter time’ is a metric used by algorithms to serve up new content, if the researchers where checking each post for signs of misogyny, then they were probably skipping by totally innocucus stuff whilst paying attention to misogyny. This (beening the only feedback) will have shown the researchers what they wanted to see.

  Three months later, The Office, Star Wars, and now The Boys memes continue to punctuate the feed, now interspersed with highly sexist and misogynistic images that have have appeared in the feed without any input from the user.

  It’d be good to know the actual ratios, given this was a guardian study there’s no reason to withhold data, nor a secondary source I can go and find the data. It’s possible that Facebook is simply serving up the entire spectrum of posts proportionately to their activity on the internet, or even favouring anti-sexist posts that are just not noticed/mentioned by the guardian.

  Does anyone genuinely believe banning this sorta stuff is going to “end violence against women and children in one generation.”

  I mean, SSRI’s are sometimes known to permantantly fix the brains serotonin levels after a limited period of application, so it might’ve still been the drugs (Or a combination of both).

  Cool that you’re doing good, tho.

  Ricardo’s rule of rent.

  In absense of land equality, or marginal land to escape to, rent will tend to push wages closer and closer to subsistance.

  I mean, cost of living is higher than america than other parts of the world and other parts of the world have state-funded security programs that take some of the anxiety away from living.

  Here in (western) europe I’d wager at half of people (including me) are insulated from “poverty induced misery”. There are an awful lot of stupidly big and expensive cars on the road.

  Am I glad that ~400 million ::: spoiler spoiler (200 mill in north america, 100 mill in europe, 100 mill everywhere else)::: people total live in that state of freedom? Yeah, but it is ever so depressing to think about what a minority of humanity it really is.

  it was a question not a conclusion, as I said, either way is bad, There’s nothing wrong with wanting to know the scope of a problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1,000,000 children living in most extreme poverty as figure almost trebles since 2017, report finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So I’m all for children ***not ***starving, I’d like to get that out the way. That being said, this article could be a lot more specific.

  4 million people experienced destitution in 2022. Destitution is when people cannot afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed.

  Is that an “and” or an “or”? Are children hungry and homeless, or are they going hungry to avoid being homeless, neither is good obviously, but it makes the difference between a third world country and a very shitty first world country.

  with almost three quarters (72%) of those destitute being in receipt of benefits. charities – such as food banks – to try to prevent people from experiencing the worst of destitution, but the task is too great for them.

  Are the destitution statistics based on what people can afford pre or post these thing? Obviously it’s bad when people need to rely on charity & government assistance to afford their essentials, but it’s unclear from the article how stressed these systems are.

  Single people of working age continue to be the worst-affected group by far … followed by no statistics pertaining to this group!!!

  Idk I just want more figures. That’s all I guess
