Potatoes, onions, garlic too.

Lol I myself misunderstood what socialist democracies look like.

Well there’s always some difference in how countries brand yourself vs how they actually function, lol.

This country is absolutely filled with monopolies that make lives of common people worse. In ways they are worse than chaebols of Korea in terms of how untouchable they are. But also there are lines this country would never cross, like agriculture and medicine, cause that would be a political suicide.

Regarding socialism, well truth be told there’s plenty of incentive for people the keep the system running the way it is, hence the sorta world socialists envision is really really hard to implement. Not because it’s bad, I love the idea of housing as a right, and markets being a co-operative, it’s just, how do you even implement it in this atmosphere.

Yup, erurope definitely is. Infact India, despite being socialist democracy, does not have real ways of tackling healthcare and pension. Yes we have government funded hospitals but the service there is abyssimal. Only thing I know about Europe is that they don’t have any equivalent to Indian medicine laws, rest I agree on

Oh, well mrp is mostly for packed food and goods. It’s extremely rare to find stuff below MRP in normal shops, but some wholesale grocery stores would sell stuff for lower than the MRP.

For stuff like vegetables and fruits, we don’t practice MRP, but at the same time, that vegetable is far more likely to come from a local farmer than in USA. Actually unless you buy from shopping markets, that vegetable is 100% from local farmer, and most people don’t buy from shopping markets, they buy from local vegetable vendors. There’s plenty of government intervention in agriculture that protects local farmers, but currently I don’t remember much of it

I’ll be honest, looking at how stupid people are today, I absolutely have no curiosity in seeing how stupid people were 300 or 400 years ago

Okay I don’t wanna sound too cynical, but let’s even forget complex physics, how are you going to even teach basic physics, and how likely are they are to even listen to you? Yes every action has an equal and opposite reaction, what’s a peasant gonna do with that knowledge? Unless you bring a real piece of technology with you, I feel it would be very hard to get their attention.

On a serious note, most of physics would just sound like witchcraft to them.

" You know the tides you see are caused by the gravitational pull by the moon "

" What is a gravity?"

" It’s a force that’s exerted by large bodies on each other "

" So is it like magic?"

“…”

" What other gods do you believe in?"

Correction: tides not waves. Thank you @gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de

That’s the craziest AOC take I have seen since I joined the internet

Yeah, it looks like it’s largely this, with a few exceptions

I don’t wanna be choosy, but working to make models smarter does feel like digging my own grave

Dude, I am guilty of writing entire projects with AI. I am not exaggerating, it literally feels like brain rot. Yeah people say now devs have time for high level design but bro, you need experience to know about high level design. Like, I can think of hundred of different ways to design something, but all hundred would be shit compared to what a knowledgeable person would build. Also it won’t be the job most people like

I am graduating next month 🥲. A little too late for me to switch careers

Dude😭. Where can I even run now? I would be graduating next month

Honestly people are more likely to just quit those websites rather than join new places. I support that though. And I am seeing a lot of people around me are going away from these platforms recently.

People are far less aggressive with their opinions compared to reddit. 90-95% of people here are decent people though with strong opinions. And as long as I can have a civil discussion with someone I think it’s a decent enough place to be, no matter what bias.

They don’t force me to sign in when using browser. Are you from a Western country?

People under appreciate how complex the life of animals is. I think people should pay attention to birds and animals around them more, they can amaze you sometimes.

And politically? Monopolies, and their lobbying. And not in a hypothetical sense. Look at samsung in south Korea and IndiGo flight incident recently in India, monopolies literally hold their Countries hostage and leaders look powerless against them.

True, Lemmy feels this way almost exclusively because it’s small and hasn’t been noticed by mainstream media enough. The second that changes this place will become what reddit was pre-ipo.

Yeah I did expect my language wasn’t precise enough, so to be more clear, animal that can excel at maths or creativity in a similar way humans do.
