Calling them "students" is not helping, the work is often part of their professors' output. Maybe should be called research apprentices/assistants/interns or just PhD candidates.

Hahaha, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complaint_tablet_to_Ea-n%C4%81%E1%B9%A3ir it's good/bad to know that humans have always been the same.

Yeah, miniature illustration does contain some really good 1000 year old memes out there.

Yeah, I can agree that America is less ambiguous than American, because the former is shorthand for something and only Americas is used to refer to the continent(s) (even if it is still funny that the United States are of "America", not "the Americas"). But American, the adjective, is more complicated e.g. Organization of American States

Reddit is a shit platform, became worse with the IPO and LLMs, but mainly, to me, the moderation is completely haphazard and the shitty posters were let loose. The inconsistency in moderation made me give up on being constructive.

Here, if you find an instance and communities with good ground rules you agree with, it works. You even have a modlog for transparency.

Oh and btw, if you do it, don't brag about it in public or go on book tours, that's partly what was used as motivation for the agenda of project 2025 after the failures of trump part 1.

Did I read that correctly, that China produces twice what Europe produces?

If you'd read rhe article, this is People's party (PP), the right-wing one. These news show that there is corruption in PP as well, not just the left PSOE.

Just when Spain’s opposition People’s party thought it had the socialist government of Pedro Sánchez on the ropes over a series of corruption scandals, it has been hit by a controversy of its own over alleged trafficking of influences by Cristóbal Montoro, the former finance minister.

If it wasn't more noticeable before, that is because everyone's attention has been elsewhere post-COVID, so this stuff never came up for the 50-cent-army to pick up.

Aren't those aged in bourbon casks? Ok, not the peaty ones.

Shows sort of suck after about the 5th episode. They all start doing filler at some point.

 

Car giant Volkswagen to wind down production at two factories

China could buy factories for foothold in Germany, says source

Volkswagen open to selling to China buyer, says source

This would help Chinese companies sidestep tariffs, but also to keep some of those jobs, I guess.
