Asking semi-seriously.

The Socialist Workers’ Sport International (although I prefer its German name Sozialistische Arbeitersport Internationale as it was abbreviated as SASI) was formed in Switzerland in 1920. They organized three International Workers’ Olympiads between 1925 and 1937 to offer a less classist version of The Olympics,…

Hi. I have been thinking about keeping track of read books, articles, comments, etc. and was wondering if anyone had some great setup/software. Something that lets you keep track of notes and highlights, potentially tag to easily find books about a subject. Something that’s made for going back and gathering information from them, probably not…

I’m in England (relevant for legal juridictions) and been with my current employer for over 4 years. Earlier this year I went through a months-long negotiation for a promotion with a two-stage pay increase - one stage effective immediately upon starting the new role, and a second stage due a few months later.

Generally I enjoy it, but there’s a lot of situations where I wish there was some sort of middleground between and

Traincabs with windows covered make people feel so much more unsafe, since outside onlookers can’t see if something is happening inside.

There’s a popular community on Lemmy called _BuyEuropean_ , but Europe’s voting record at the UN seems just as problematic as that of the US and Israel. This makes me question whether boycotting European products in favor of Chinese ones might be more ethical, even though there isn’t a dedicated community for that.

The best alternative I…

I was looking at the production numbers for stuff like thaad missiles and tomahawks. They’re all in the dozens annually and seemingly have been for ages.

Given the staggering numbers these are used in, and how it seems like the way the usa fights wars now is to launch stupid amounts at people, like multiple years worth in a day. What…

I have my suspicions about its historical accuracy based on my college being notoriously conservative and my professor being an anticommunist. I was wondering if anyone here had read it or knew of a review that dissects its sourcing. I don’t have the time to heavily investigate this book unfortunately.

OK the title is a joke but the question is serious. A bit of backstory:

My parents failed to make me love books, because they also introduced me to a PlayStation 2, and I decided that I like playing vidya games a lot more than reading stuff. School didn’t make me love books either because the literature they force you to read in my…
