Fall semester at university is starting soon and I’m excited to share everything that happens during my next Political Science class! I’ll also post about anything related from my other courses too, such as psychology and history.

PolSci can be a trip (to and back from the pit a-little-trolling)

[–] SpaceDogs@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I actually made a bunch of posts about my first semester PoliSci class and you’re completely correct, it was a trip.

OOTL but why is bukele praised so much by far right groups and such?

Bitcoin? Arresting a shit ton of people? Being an insufferable dork? All appeal to the right

Reading the Amazon description, it seems decent. i haven’t read it so that’s all I’ll say.

Two questions:

  1. Does anyone else accidentally tap the up vote button when their screen jumps while typing on lemmygrad in a browser and lose everything they were typing? I'm wondering if I'm the clumsiest person here.
  2. I saw on Hexbear that some users from the 'general' instances are creating new accounts Hexbear (here too?) because they're upset with defederation, etc. One problem may be that if they signed up to an instance with a personal email address and then sign up here or on Hexbear with the same name, they may put themselves at risk of being doxed if they make the wrong enemy through e.g. their lemmygrad account. Is it worth featuring a post telling people to use a new, anonymous name on lemmygrad if they create an account to protect their identity? This won't stop wreckers ruining someone's reputation but it may offer some security.

Welcome to the future where tech is getting worse all the time.

Google was garbage so I used a chatbot for the very first time. I asked it why the actor Ken Howard left the tv series "Crossing Jordan". He started out in the main cast but by season 4 (2005) he only appeared in one episode and then he had left the series. The chatbot produced total crap that seemed real.

Ken Howard left the show Crossing Jordan in 2006 due to his starring role in the Broadway revival of the Pulitzer Prize winning play '1776'. Howard had already been appearing in theatre productions while working on the show, but the producers of Crossing Jordan allowed him to take part in the musical as long as he was able to make it back for shooting.

However, once the show became a hit, it was difficult for the producers to accommodate his schedule. In addition, Howard was offered the chance to play the lead role in the film adaptation of 'The White Countess' which he also could not pass up. Ultimately, he had to make a difficult decision between continuing his role in Crossing Jordan and pursuing the new opportunities.

  • Howard appeared in the 1972 movie "1776". But there was no ~2006 Broadway revival of "1776". The revival happened in 2022. Howard died in 2016.

  • "The White Countess" came out in 2005 but Howard had nothing to do with it.

There's a farmers' protest starting in Belgium similar to the one in The Netherlands. The Netherlands' one is hijacked by far right extremists, but for some reason the one starting over here is starting to show some leftist signs. I even saw a sign about how the leader of the biggest neolib right wing party is 'supporting the big capitalists'. The farmers are also targeting big industrial polluters with their actions.

Our party is on it as well. We can't afford to have a Netherlands 2.0 over here, since the left over there completely shit the bed with handling the protest.

I will keep you guys updated, inshallah we may have an uprising
