Nah, the NYPD is big enough to do that on their own. No need to bother the feds.

For example, it's been known Mendel must have faked his data for almost a hundred years, but that doesn't make Mendelism wrong (after you strip out the stuff that is wrong)

"Fisher's analysis gave rise to the Mendelian paradox: Mendel's reported data are, statistically speaking, too good to be true, yet "everything we know about Mendel suggests that he was unlikely to engage in either deliberate fraud or in an unconscious adjustment of his observations".[71] Several writers have attempted to resolve this paradox."

Does Wikipedia have a license to peddle copium of this purity?

Yes, when they transferred his wall paintings onto canvasses, that was a form of commodification because now the paintings can be sold on the marketplace as paintings. The house he lived in can also be placed on the marketplace (unless Spain turned the house into a Goya national museum), so the wall paintings could also be commodified in this way.

It's not labor that Marx cares about but socially necessary labor. So the mudpies argument falls apart by simply noting that making mudpies isn't socially necessary labor because nobody fucking needs or wants mudpies lol

But how does this translate in modern times with the instance of obscure art or other modern art?

Marx is talking about commodities, which are supposed to be distributed in a marketplace. My personal erotic Sonic fanfic that I wrote for my personal consumption isn't a commodity in the same exact way my personal wooden chair that I carved to personally sit on isn't a commodity either. Goya's Black Paintings aren't commodities because there are just shit Goya painted on the walls of his house after becoming a recluse. Art doesn't necessarily have to be politically and socially responsible if the art is for personal consumption only. The flip side is that art that is meant to be distributed ought to be judged by its political content and edifying potential or lack thereof.

You could pretty much have thousands of arcade/NES/SNES/Genesis/GBA games thanks to emulators. I mean, kid me had those shareware compilation CDs with ~40 DOS games. The main difference is that kids today can play Super Mario World or Metal Slug instead of the shareware version of Jazz Jackrabbit.

Notice how they all have their limbs, meaning they're not the ones that are dying to Russian artillery and drones.

I'll give you this advice and I mean this in the most sincere way possible: find a new hobby.

Whenever something traumatic happens to me, I always try to subtly change something in my daily routine, whether it's what I wear or what I eat or what I do for fun. The point is to have a soft reset so I can distance myself from that traumatic experience. It's so I can say, "well, that was incredibly shitty, but at least that bullshit chapter of my life is finally over and I am turning a page to a new chapter and I can tell I'm in a new chapter because I eat/dress/do things slightly different."

My guess is that gaming has been tainted by your hard semester, and the reason why you can no longer enjoy gaming is that you still unconsciously associate gaming with that terrible semester. I don't know how bad that semester was, but I think you should change some things. You don't have to fully reinvent yourself, but it's a good opportunity to explore other hobbies and see whether they scratch the itch that gaming once did.

In July 2025, a vulnerability in the GiveWP WordPress plugin exposed the names and email addresses of approximately 30k donors to the Pi-hole network-wide ad blocking project. Pi-hole subsequently self-submitted the list of impacted donors to HIBP.

It was simply examining the alternatives if Marxism-Leninism was wrong. If there are no alternative theories that fit the facts then Marxism Leninism must be correct.

The real alternative to Marxism-Leninism isn't even Maoism, but something like Nkrumahism-Toureism adopted by various pan-Africanists. At the end of the day, both Marxism-Leninism and Nkrumahism-Toureism are branches of scientific socialism, so they'll converge because both ideologies are powered by Marxist economic analysis, emancipation of the working masses as a political goal, and dialectical materialism.

I don't really consider the branches of Marxism (Trotskyism, Maoism, Hoxhaism, and so on) to be all that different in the grand scheme of things outside of just thinking X country is AES or not. Seriously, what distinguishes a Trotskyist analysis from a Hoxhaist analysis or a Maoist analysis on a country like Paraguay outside of some semi-relevant quote from their respective head? It would just be like any other Marxist analysis.

Uh aktually, gallium melts at 29.7646 °C/​85.5763 °F, which isn't even that hot.
