The famines, which outside of World War II when the Nazis deliberately attacked their farms, and outside of the 1930s, which had famine induced by weather disaster and magnified by privledged capitalist farmers called “kulaks” destroying their livestock and grain to prevent collectivization?

You’re really looking at this through red-tinted glasses. It’s ok to admit that there were also serious missteps by Stalin that magnified the extent of this famine, and that it was intentionally made worse for some ethnic minorities.

Are you seriously thinking this is how revolution in the US would go?

This is a good point, but the point still stands that not everyone in science is neurodivergent. There are plenty neurotypical people currently doing similar work to this because they developed an interest and an area of expertise.

EO Wilson didn’t have autism, and dude wrote a massive book IDing every known ant genus based on morphology. Some people just go hard

While this may be something that has happened, this definitely is not something “the homeless do” in the US

I don’t know, they took some of the most conservative parts of the state to the north and northeast, plus the panhandle. Maybe we’ve got a chance now.

I’m just glad they took Oklahoma

What if it takes a boat?

Is there a way to make votes private in the fediverse? Seems tricky given the voting data needs to be visible to every federated server

A Dog Called Kitty 😭 4th grade

I’m also 43, and I and many of my friends call each other all the time

I’ve heard both in the US

We measure lots of things in grams in the US, like weed and psychedelic mushrooms

You weren’t kidding

I don’t particularly care about arbitrary race switching in fairy tales. Race has no bearing whatsoever on the actual story of Snow White

Maybe throw in some cubes of cream cheese

Maybe, but Ariel is a fucking mer-person whose race is undefined in the OG story
