good way of putting it

you love to see it folks, one of the people representing the people

not quite as bad as adobe, but they are among the worst

im anxious around people and feel constantly on edge or potentially threatened even when others are kind and flash a smile.

having a space where i can be certain things are where i expect them and when im looking for stuff i dont need to keep up appearances...

the book or tale... but it seems it is not with you sadly... thanks for sharing though!

Interesting, the link to language is rather brilliant. Question for you comrade, what thoughts do you have on Lenin' mention of a single language and Stalin' piece on linguistics/language? I'll link it below.

My thoughts are still forming, what immediately comes to mind is the use of pidgin english in colonial china and the forceful push of what is now modern-day french over other languages in the region. Occitan I believe and perhaps Basque (not sure about this one at all) I have a source here but I cannot make any claims about its quality.

Another thought which came to mind (seeing 'quebec' in the url of the previous link) is Cree which is to my knowledge the indigenous language in kanada with the largest geographical spread, I believe because it was used for communication between indigenous groups (who each had their own languages and cultures).

Apologies for the rambling, I meant to make a coherent point but instead I wandered off...

link pls

i like this framing

wow this is a wild ride, every sentence pulls you in a different direction

oh those are quite short

yeah isnt it like a tracksuit or made from sweats?

i wore boy shorts (i am a boy just fyi or rather a man thing) and they were called basketball shorts and went past the knees. both boys and girl's wore the same shorts because they were unisex so we never had that issue...

were there different kinds of clothing for each gendee in your school? we sorta had to buy ours from the school.

🤢🤮

what? this is the first time i'm hearing of it, do u know any movements that are trans-inclusive in SK?

what's the purpose of using ableist verbiage? the "war on drugs" and folks who consider themselves right or right-leaning use similar rhetoric to expunge people considered 'lesser'. To note this is a subgroup of individuals of conservative ideology, not all. It is important to make the distinction becauuse while I disagree all-the-same, the kinds of disagreements are different and need not be lumped together.

it's great she has 20 years of sobriety, it is inappropriate to use it as a cudgel to to wield against anyone else who she seeks to demean or otherwise treat unseriously. perhaps some were similarly unfair to her during her time of insobriety, it does not therefore mean she needs to reproduce her treatment onto others.

"hurt people, hurt people" is a descriptive account of what occurs, not a guidebook on appropriate behavior.

fyi mendel was 'rediscovered' and there was a bit of difficulty in having mendelian inheritance work with darwinian natural selection / adaptationism.

can look up the 'modern synthesis' to learn a bit about it. a marxist who talks about it with a specialty in biology is richaed c lewontin. he has a massey lecture called 'biology as ideology: the doctrine of dna' and you can listen to it on youtube or read the associated publication which is a short book that is a essentially a transcription.

no biology background needed.

contemporary discourse is really a poisoned well, philosophers and scientists i whose work i admire seem to shut off their brains when it comes to lysenko.

i cant read the stuff you shared, i did read an english translation of i think a committee meeting and it was entirely reasonable.

they did make references to things i didnt understand, and still would like to go through, like morganism and morgan's work.

my assessment was lyenko had an appropriate approach to the empirical evidence and methods of the time. hopefully i can try to parse the works you shared. i really find it disapointing that the rather unique conditions of the environment where the task to grow sustenance is almost never mentioned by opponents.

Huh, well since it was recommended... thanks, I'll take a look!

Good stuff cde, I've reallu only read Christian theology and have a bit of familiarity with Islamic. Do you have any suggestions for introductory works on Judaism? I always avoided it as it honestly seemed complicated and esoteric, though I always planned on engaging in some kind of scholarship.

so happy to see prokewiki linked
