When liberals ask "do you believe in the ltov?" they're poisoning the well by implying that Marxism is some completely unscientific religion. No, the LToV is more like a definition of what Marx means when he says "value" and libs love to smugly say "that isn't what value means according to xyz though" okay then we're talking about something else aren't we?

I mean I personally find the ltov to be more a more useful definition than other definitions of "value" because of what Marx does with it but to understand that you would have to read Capital and that's too much commitment for a smuglord's twitter post.

Understanding things in context was another thing Marx was big on so I'm positive he meant it to be taken that way.

This isn't polymc it's pollymc, which is actually based on prism, but with drm removed and some other features added

I dream of a day when everyone migrates to minetest, and mod developers port their mods, and Minecraft can have a second golden age.

Minetest is already feature pairity except for some UI smoothing out

Try pollymc (two l's) ;) That's just for java though

That makes sense, but doesn't the skidding wear the tires much faster? And if your brakes break that doesn't stop you from delivering, you just don't have brakes now (until you're able to fix them) right?

it’s also not widespread enough to put that theory to the test.

In a way it is in that most large servers are running Linux, which offers a pretty high value target for attackers. That doesn't translate perfectly to desktop Linux because the attack surfaces are slightly different, but I think it's safe to say Linux is targeted.

Wait brakeless????? That's just a bad idea. Who thought of that?

And the reason for them being less famous is described in the post.

I had a frustrating conversation with my grandfather this week where he, a usually progressive guy, had a list of talking points about why green energy is bad that he picked up from the propane delivery guy 🙄

When it's dark solar panels don't generate any energy and batteries are expensive/environmentally unfriendly

What is even the point of bringing that up if you aren't generating more than you use during daylight hours in the first place? When most of the demand is, mind?

At least with him opinions are as easy to plant as they are to dislodge

Republicans openly admitting that the US is not a democracy demonstrates that the American civic religion is in decline.

My local small right leaning town has some good people in government positions, and we're getting some pretty nice infrastructure improvements like protected bike lanes and roundabouts

The local insane litterbox conspiracy theorist got kicked off the school board.

Grocery prices are down a lot

After years of looking with no success I just randomly connected with two local lefties in two unconnected events this week what? And they're both just down the road from me.

Everyone tells me I shouldn't blame the doctors in anti-abortion states when a woman dies after they refuse to D&C a miscarriage because the law is vague. Sorry I'm going to blame them a little bit. No excuses for not providing whatever care you are able to. Comfortable cowards.
