I think I'm at a way too early stage to start a real campaign right now, but that was useful. I'm still trying to find other like-minded tenants in my region and documenting rent prices. People are usually not very open to talking about money matters with strangers.

There's also some severe obfuscation over here with multiple agencies doing the front between both small-time and gigantic landlords. That means that a single corporation can have multiple apartments managed by completely different agencies, and there's not a single obvious opponent to do collective bargain with.

Some questions, did y'all start with support from some party or was it self-organised?

And do y'all have any demographics with the most initial success? I'm focusing right now on university students and people from other cities, but I could also find people elsewhere so we have more hands on deck.

Ditch barbarous French "bourgoieisie", embrace the superior Spanish/Portuguese "burguesía." They get the wall independent of language though.

I've heard this happens over here too, their lazy justification for it in our case is that you're still using their grid to distribute the energy. As opposed to building your own grid, I guess.

I don't know the internals of Bing, but they have some triggers which themselves seem to be made with NLP. They use it a lot to fetch web info. That means that if the model somehow produces some creative version of a crime that doesn't get caught, it'll just send.

I think this is why Bing sometimes refuses to continue the conversation, or ChatGPT will flag its own text as against their terms sometimes. But yeah, they definitely can encourage how to crime sometimes, I've made ChatGPT explicitly tell me how to replicate some crimes like the Armin Meiwes cannibalism one while bored.

They aren't "programmed" to do something, they just produce likely text. If it somehow "learned" from portions of the data to threaten to dox people in circumstances like this, it just replicates that. The programmers themselves likely never saw that portion of the corpus with 4chan bickering, since the dataset is usually impossibly large.

corporate mouthpieces have done one heck of a job to make every single issue of society be either derived from or leading towards inefficiency over the past decades. People still believe in the 21st century that we have scarcity of things that are required for living (housing, food, electricity), and so whatever is bad for that efficiency is taken to be harmful to society itself, instead of just for the bourgeois "employers." It also applies to other "inefficient" things like unions, guaranteed basic rights, and democracy, so if you take those easier to grasp things are taken to be inefficient, more complex issues such as workplace harassment or mental health are much easier to write off that way too.

You can apply this to other facets of life and see it in action. Public education is inefficient, breaking medication patents is theft, electoral reforms for better democracy are a waste of money. Making things better for common people is always weighed against how much it's gonna cost to the bourgies, but then they turn around and pretend we are the ones who'll be shouldering the cost (and in some cases they're right, because they also own the government).

That is correct, but it's always important to make sure the "randomly chosen" bit is close to true, which is usually true (and verifiable if the methodology is accessible) in electoral polls and such, but I would hazard a guess that this is not as obviously the case in a country having a civil war, specially with an agency that goes out of its way to call one of the positions as "Russian propaganda." Their overview on methodology doesn't mention in which regions the polling was made and their (google doc) source is in Ukrainian/Russian and I can't read that.

But yeah, in general people are often too quick to dismiss surveys because of sample sizes that are unintuitively small.

It's at every level of society and incredibly disturbing.

Depression? We should help that so they can be productive!

4 day work week? Research shows it's more efficient!

Autistic? How can we make it easier for you to work for us?

There might be some article out there by the usual suspects on how "Murder rates are decreasing productivity."

Academics admit births could fall to 7 million

He noted that the number of newborns this year could be as low as 7 million.

Kinda subtle but the original source just lists 7 million as a lower limit, but this weirdo website cites it as the prediction. They also use the pronoun "he," but as far as I know the more famous Qiao Jie from Peking University is a woman. Might want something straight from that conference, which the Global Times doesn't provide even a name.

Acabei de notar que a UFRN encerrou o prazo de matrícula no dia 8 de agosto…

Então, nas universidades federais todas as matriculas (ou quase todas, pode ter exceção) de graduação são feitas pelo Exame Nacional de Ensino Médio (ENEM) que tem uma vez por ano. É uma prova que tem lá pra outubro, aí a matrícula que você viu lá da UFRN é para os que passaram por esse vestibular, usando o SISU (Sistema de Seleção Unificada). Como a inscrição do ENEM desse ano já passou, acho dificíl você conseguir entrar em uma universidade federal, mas sempre tem algumas estaduais famosas (USP, UniCamp, Unesp) que tem seus vestibulares próprios, mas que geralmente são muito concorridos. Os "Institutos Federais" como o IFES também as vezes tem seleção tanto por enem quanto por vestibular próprio.

Se você estiver com pressa, talvez seja interessante olhar essas estaduais ou municipais (ou até particular, que muitas vezes nem tem processo seletivo). Depois disso dá até pra fazer transferência pra outra faculdade. Mas no geral pelo enem é mais "fácil" porque é uma prova só que pode ser usada pra universidades de qualquer lugar do Brasil, dependendo da nota. O vestibular da USP FUVEST vai abrir inscrições esse mês, mas já fique avisado que esse vestibular é extremamente concorrido e difícil, e talvez nem dê tempo de validar seus documentos até a inscrição.

PROMISAES

Pelo que eu entendo esses programas só aplicam depois que você já estiver matriculado. É interessante olhar sim, mas eu diria que vestibular deveria ser o foco primeiro.

Outra pergunta, quanto custa, em média, levar um ano em uma universidade brasileira?

0 reais e 0 centavos. Toda universidade publica no Brasil é completamente gratuita então seus custos vão ser só os de morar aqui e os da inscrição do vestibular (geralmente entre 60 e 200 reais). O custo de vida depende de onde você ficar e estilo de vida, mas geralmente vai de 100 a 3000 reais contando aluguel. 1 euro = 5 reais. Já nas particulares tem preços muito variados, com alguns cursos custando 500 reais por mês e outros 2,5 mil. Elas geralmente são menos "renomadas" mas são sempre uma opção pra evitar o processo lento dos vestibulares publicos.

Você conhece algum estudante estrangeiro que se matriculou em uma dessas universidades?

Na UFMG tinha vários estudantes estrangeiros, mas nunca tive muito contato, nem perguntei se eram matriculados direto lá ou se estavam fazendo intercâmbio. Alguns da Angola e vários outros de outros países da América Latina. Geralmente vem muitos pra fazer pós-graduação também, mas a desistência de pós é sempre alta independente de de onde vem. Depois de conseguir matricular na graduação e validar todos os documentos, o processo é bem mais tranquilo, principalmente pra falantes do português.

Oh hey, it's a Parenti quote moment.

And when Kenneth Boulding gets up and he says—an economist, and you can see what—you can see what—you can see, when you get Britain people like Kenneth Boulding speaking so naïvely, you can see the troubles you get into, the swamps you go into, the baby talk—silliness you get into when you think without Marx, when you think without class analysis—and Kenneth Boulding says, one of America's leading economists, he says, "Empire is irrational because it costs more than what we get out of it," "the British—it costed them more in India than what they got out of it," "the American investment in the Philippines is only about three-and-a-half billion dollars, but we had to give them about six billion dollars in aid," "it costs us more than what we get out of it," and that's when you think without a class analysis, because as we know—as you're going to know before the evening's over— that it's very profitable, because the people who have the three billion dollar investment aren't the same ones as the people who pay the six billion.

I always enjoy re-watching the full "Tank Man" video, with the "brutal Chinese tanks" awkwardly trying to bypass the protestor and patiently waiting him out. I think libs just see that single frame and fill the gaps with their own experiences in their countries in thinking that the guy got ran over or something. If you try that with a secret service car they might do just that.
