Germany in particular is at a breaking point where it cannot really support more people living the big cities without a major national housing initiative. If you don’t want to raise your kid in the boondocks of Lower Saxony, tough luck

The atrophy of the American public mirrors the ossification of its administrative state. As the EPA, the CDC, the USPS, and other institutions representing bourgeois concessions to the proletariat are systematically eroded, the American working class has no longer any means to realise its own interests through administrative means, and it loses the ability to meaningfully shape its environment. The space of potential futures within the system is considerably narrowed, and the narrower it becomes, the less people find a future in it worth fighting for by legal means. Expect protests to die down, and instead more assassins and armed groups to emerge.

The secret to keeping friends is to actually communicate with them at least every few weeks. It doesn’t need to be anything big, just checking in and signalling that you exist and do care. If you don’t do this, even if you yourself can remember, they might forget because tragically, this is just the way the human brain works for most people. When Steve moved, he likely went and looked out for other people to help him over the loss of this connection, and then they became his best friends, not immediately, but over the course of years and years. Even though none of this was your fault, how was he supposed to know you were still interested in his life after not hearing from you for over a decade?

Whoever wrote this headline, I can assure you that China’s dance robots will never be equipped to handle your kind of gymnastics

Hey everyone, I’m back! I’ve been off-grid for a year and a half bc I got a PhD position and didn’t want to lose it due to political background checks against “extremism” during the trial period (obviously these checks mostly got leftists fired -.-). It’s about a new way of mathematically tackling nonlinear PDEs and I’m extremely happy with it because I can finally apply my specialist knowledge towards something actually useful, at the forefront of research!

My doctor told me I’d be getting stomach pain from worrying too much about the failure of China’s high speed rail industry (and absolutely not from all the champagne I’ve been denying myself to bemoan the definitely continuing adventures of Henry Kissinger)

I use adblock online and I only listen to public radio and watch public TV (which have no ads). The only times when I am exposed to advertisments are billboards, newspapers, shopping, and whenever I make the mistake to browse on my phone. I still feel like I’m drowning, how do people cope with this shit

Really bro, molecules? Did you think you were being sneaky trying to sell us on the idea of establishing hierarchies of electron shells?

When Beijing’s top official for the city visited it in April, he did not meet the real estate developers association, which represents some of the richest families, raising questions over whether the interests of the wealthy clans are even a major concern to the top leadership.

Presumably questions such as “WTF?”, “You do know what a communist is, right?”, and “Have you recently been experiencing dizziness, eyesight problems, or weakness/numbness radiating from one side of your face, arms, or legs?”

In a few years, homeless people and city planners will have mutually raised their intelligence and creativity far above average by permanently having to outwit each other, in a manner similar to biological co-evolution, such that eventually every homeless person is bound to win a Nobel Prize or a Fields Medal at some point and then use the prize money to buy an apartment. This is the United States’ plan to solve homelessness.
