DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are commonly used idioms/metaphors that make no sense to anyone who knows about the topic they come from?9·2 days agoWirth’s law is an adage on computer performance which states that software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware is becoming faster.
I did a quick search and got this:
https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/cocoa
Cocoa futures traded around $10,280 per tonne, their lowest in over a week and down from recent 3-1/2-month highs of $10,932 per tonne, on some profit-taking and amid expectations for favorable rain in West Africa.
so around $1.03 for 100 grams.

DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.worldBanned from communityto Memes@lemmy.ml•Ah yes the "enlightened" democracies21·4 days agoHow do Marxists see the USSR, China under Mao, Hoxhua, North Korea, Pol Pot, and Sendero Luminoso?
Let me guess:
USSR and Mao generally good, particularly given circumstances; Hoxhua who?; North Korea better than South Korea (and PRC even today is better than ROC); Pol Pot wasn’t a true Scotsman; and you like at least a few RATM songs.

DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.worldBanned from communityto Memes@lemmy.ml•Ah yes the "enlightened" democracies11·4 days agoUS, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe voted against censorship.
It seems Iran was absent, but Israel voted for it.
From 1939-1941 the UK fought Nazis while the USSR collaborated with them.
South Korea abstained, but North Korea voted for it, as did Myanmar.
It may be unintentional, or well meaning, but ultimately it does serve to apologize for fascism.
Assuming he is that bad—which again I’m not sure, though I think he is or close to it—but when someone calls me a fascist, I find it hard to take them seriously. It’s like when someone accuses me of having TDS my typical reply is of course that I indeed have TDS, anybody who doesn’t worship Trump has TDS.
IIUC, you’re telling me that when it comes to Palestine, Biden is no better than Trump, or conversely, Trump is no worse than Biden.
At times I tend to agree with this, but I say it while acknowledging that I don’t know everything about the issue—I am no expert on this. For all I know, Biden might be worse, or Trump might be worse; which is why I wouldn’t be so quick to call someone who thinks one isn’t as bad as the other an apologist for fascism. IMO, if you say that, you better know what you’re talking about. You want to bash Biden or the Democrats from a leftist POV, go right on ahead, but your (apparent at least) pontificating makes you look like an elitist.
What is prompting you to ask me these questions? Because it seems like you’re just trying to derail.
I’m trying to understand why you replied with what you replied.
I could start asking you completely unrelated questions as well, but it would just be wasting time.
Ask away.
Incidentally, my answers are no and yes, respectively.
Thank you for answering the questions.

Maybe such children in such camps should be adopted by Kurds, Copts, and/or lesbian feminists.
