Oh neat, Ive never made Baechu kimchi with anything other than napa cabbage. Do you use fish sauce or fermented krill, or just add a little additional salt?

Always neat to see people expanding on kimchi, I really only know what my mom taught me and she's what I'd call radically traditional when it comes to Korean food.

What's hot pink kimchi?

original comment I responded to was "let's not act like a gun control zealot is what the US "left" needs right now".

Yeah.....? And your response was so off point that even you decided it was worth deleting.

Right now, we don't have those stricter gun control laws, so your theoretical universe with the slippery slope is irrelevant.

Lol, the person you were responding to was specifically calling out David Hoggs and the DNC dying on the hill of gun control.

This is a race for NY Mayor, and Mamdani is exactly what we need right now.

Wut? We were specifically talking about David hogg what does mamdani have to do with our conversation? You might remember what you were talking about about if you didn't delete your own comment, fucking coward.

Something wrong with the fuel system was my initial armchair guess, but I'm not so sure based off the second vid. One would expect to see some yaw or rolling in an underpowered or lost of power take off with a jet.

Guess we'll have to wait until someone more qualified explains it.

I'm not sure they could control the means of production here.

You don't think a military force could control the supply line of some farmers? Most of which are already owned by large conglomerates that would gladly follow the orders of the government.....

A lot of it is in and around areas that arent ideal terrain for fighting on their side.

Have you been to the central valley? It's just large open fields and orchards surrounded by gentle rolling hills, it's not the fucking korengal valley my dude.

Yep, what we consider to be level is relative to what you use to establish an axial plane.

Yeap, they'd rather lose to someone like trump than win with someone like AOC or Sanders. Who in reality are pretty much average centerist when compared to most liberal countries.

Democrats adopting third way politics have basically led this country to fascism.

There are areas and kinds of people who can live off the land, in one way or another. They do exist.

They can live off the land when the vast majority of the population isn't trying to do the same. Hungry human populations are worse than locust, we can absolutely destroy entire ecologies in weeks.

the military really is in the same boat as the rest of us.

In the scenario they proposed the military would be controlling the means of food production. This isn't something we have to guess about, there's plenty of examples of intentional famines like what the Brits did to Bengal, and the Irish, or the Soviets in Ukraine, and unintentional like during China's cultural revolution. During those famines the military didn't starve, the common people did.

If those populations who were already subsistence farmers and hunters couldn't "live off the land" then what makes you think anyone on lemy is going to do any better?

Yes, some people naturally have better 3d spatial awareness. You can also train your eyes to be better over time. I work in orthotics and prosthetics and have to sculpt positive models of different body parts. We also have to do GAIT analysis where we have to observe the angle of different joints while a patient ambulates.

Some people are just better at it than others starting out, especially if they have prior similar experience. I teach a lot of residents and have noticed that students that have a background in art or construction tend to have a better eye for angles. A lot of it is just practicing by observing different angles compared to something that is known to be square.

I have also trained people who never seem to be able to improve their ability to see angles, which is a big hindrance in their careers. A lot of schools actually have students take a spacial awareness test before students begin studying in the field.

I don't think that the movie was proposing that the issue or solution is eugenics based. I would argue that educated people are probably able provide a better education, and that uneducated parents are less likely to be able to provide their children with a quality education.

I don't specifically remember Idiocracy really going into depth about "passing good genes".

Yes, because of their criminal problems. Not because of their language, clothing style, food preferences, etc. But because of the enormous percentage of criminal involvement.

That is the same claim that "racist" in the US make all the time... Simply assuming that a person engages in criminal activity because of their ethnicity is bigotry.

Are you by chance not a USA citizen? I have some stereotypes about US citizens too.

US citizen is not an ethnic group you moron.

Yes, we hate gipsies. But not because of their race (they don't even have a separate race), but because of some nuances of their culture that involve a lot of criminal.

Lol, if you want to split hairs like that..... race itself is not an actual classification system and isn't real in any meaningful way. What it represents is a bias against certain ethnic groups based off of an ever changing list of generalities.

What the general public interprets as racism is unfounded bigotry against individuals or groups of people for simple belongings to an ethnic group. Having negative preconceived notions against an ethnic minority like the Romani people is racism, and attempting to escape the accusation of racism by engaging in semantics is just pathetic.

tell that bullshit to another racist like you.

Lol, I'm a bi-racial ethnic minority living in the most conservative state in America.....You are a white European that just accused an entire ethnic group of being criminals.....and I'm the racist?

You don't get a pass on your privilege because you live in Europe....an entire continent that enriched itself by engaging in colonialism self validated by racial theory. Go kick rocks bigot.
