I'd love a doorknob that can move along the door like this one, my cats would be absolutely thrilled!

oof. sorry to hear that. explains why they have no issues dealing with russia.

normally i would agree, but the level of detail in the background rules out GenAI, and there are details like the line of rust on the front right corner of the car where rust flaked down onto the boat, or the badly fixed part of the boat below the passenger side door which makes me think this seems pretty genuine.

Where does this notion that oil&gas are dead dinosaurs come from? I know what you said is the truth, just as coal is the remainder of the huge forests that existed before bacteria could break down cellulose, but i would really like to know where this wrong factoid comes from - it's literally everywhere

I learnt most in school (in austria tho, american schools have been defunded so hard its a miracle the US hasn't fallen into pieces ... yet), if i had to pin it down mostly in language classes (German, English) because of the literature i was exposed to and the discussions we had about current events, philosophy because its philosophy and art classes because of the teacher and interpretations of art pieces in context of the time they were created. Also my biology teacher who taught us to keep an open mind and a lot about the scientific method.

The important part were the teachers, who didn't just let us memorize stuff, but encouraged us to ask questions.

i was able to trace that back to a redditor named splurgeoverthem, who posted this in 2022 (his account is sadly deleted). He wanted to get rid of his car and this was his way of doing it. (source: https://mydiwise.com/baddiy/ , last entry so you don't have to scroll like i did lol)

I learnt about Aadhaar here about a month ago and was appalled at this technological nightmare, which (of course!) fucks over the poor and disadvantaged the most, with shit like "you cannot get an Aadhaar because you don't have one". I didn't realize that this abomination could be cranked up to eleven too!

My suspicion is that this will lead to an "official" india and a "inofficial" one, with the inofficial part being ruled by gangs and crime syndicates with all the bullshit that comes with that. (if it isnt that way currently, i don't know too much about it)

Yup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_thinking#Teaching_critical_thinking

you don't even need AI for that, some people used the photo mode in Death Stranding

I started out on .world; then i found dbzer0.com, which aligns a lot more with my values (i personally am a socialist who also likes the idea of communism, but in the end i am simply against concentration of power and exploitation), and then i switched over to anarchist.nexus so i could use piefed instead of lemmy itself; the last move was a consequence of the lemmy devs being shitheads, even if they create good software. I still use the dbzer0 account while on my phone, tho.

yeah, i can only offer my perspective, which is austrian - and it seems that those discussions were kept away from my surroundings; in our politics right-wing politicians surrounding the FPÖ were the only ones who criticized jews in a public way, and they did it because they are literally populist antisemites, rising from what the denazification didn't eradicate. I myself became aware of the apartheid only a few years back, and like i said, i wasn't so sure if it wasn't facebook-style propaganda.
