I detested differential equations. However, that was more due to how it was presented than the underlying, surprisingly, beautiful math.

The only problem with courses like calc 3 and differential equations (in my experience, as a mathematician) is that they are cheating somewhat. By cheating I mean relying on inadequate, flawed or entirely omitted proofs. How can the students truly understand something if they are not presented the whole story (or at least reference)?

The good thing about these courses are that there are usually no shortage of relevant exercises!

Generally speaking, Library Genesis, Anna's Archive and Sci-Hub are your friends :) Otherwise you can try to email the authors. They will probably provide you with a copy.

I can do one without doing the other. I am an atheist and do not care for religion at all. However, that does not mean I blame Jews for something another group, the Zionists, think and do. Sure there is an overlap and corrolation, but the same is also very much true for the US Christian nut jobs along with others.

If you are going to label people and reject them on the basis of their label, make sure to label them right.

Let us not confuse Zionisim with the Jewish religion, please.

When I learned about it first time I thought it sounded too good to be true. Turns out, it is just that good.

Not because the capital spared from denied meals (or production thereof) are going directly towards yachts, but because the capitalist mode of production requires the threat of starvation to force us into unfavourable compensation for our labour.

Really, we could easily do both at this point (and more), but since greed knows no limits, there is also no limit to what pain the capitalist class will impose on us in order to extract surplus value.

We already produce enough food for a billion more people than what exists, but still around a billion live in starvation to deter the rest of us.

It is a joke, there are no ads. I just wrote a fake command in the Nix syntax.

That is because there can only be individual freedom through social cooperation, like taxes.

You mean the fucking pigs that murdered a journalist for being complicit in exposing them? They are all in prison now though, right? (spoiler: they are not)

LPT: In NixOS you can fix this by adding

environment.systemAds.enable = false;

to your configuration.nix file 😎

 

The bourgeoisie in my country have pushed the euphemism of "working capital" as something that needs protection from wealth tax. By inseparably connecting capital with jobs, they push the narrative that you cannot tax wealth without removing jobs and consequently hurting the working class. They paid for research groups to prove this connection, but what their research actually showed was that wealth tax creates jobs due to incentivizing keeping profits within the companies they own. The audacity to think owning the means of production is a privilege they should enjoy special treatment to keep is beyond me, but even so, this type of rhetoric keeps gaining ground.

What is the propaganda they are pushing on you, and how can socialist policies prevail if reason loses to made up words changing the narrative?

 

Perhaps the best part of Dwarf Fortress is creating and sharing stories. Share yours below!

Great Toady of course wrote this with the "hopefully" caveat, but here is to hoping.
