Mythbusters once did an episode and determined that at deep ocean pressures, a human scuba diver without active air pressure from topside can be squeezed entirely into their helmet.

Then hippo by default 100%. The giant squid evolved under the immense pressures of the deep, it would die immediately if brought near the surface. Even if it didn’t, it’s relatively slow moving as far as animals go, again, evolved for the dark, cold deep where conserving nutrients is paramount to all else.

Private prisons is a pretty good term IMO. Private, as in the purpose of them is not to rehabilitate, but to generate profit for the bourgeoisie under the guise of rehabilitation. The inmates are private property.

Correct. Decolonization requires the destruction of Western governments as we see them now. Note that this is entirely different from destruction of the people, it absolutely does not entail eye for an eye, kill all whites shit like anticommunists/antidecolonizers keep strawmanning about, that would not be decolonization but reverse colonization/revenge, but the current socioeconomic structures and status quo need to go and societal priorities and paradigms need to be massively shifted, AKA a cultural revolution.

IIRC some of their RISC-V cores are already open source, including one made by a Chinese public university!

Think I can dodge a draft with this?

Only half joking… Not that I think we’re going to have conscription anytime soon but Canada isn’t the most stable right now (and it’s at the beck and call of the US which is even less stable) so who knows?

Thank you! I’d honestly love to raise awareness for autism while meeting other autists. Will probably post more about my experiences under this account since it’s far enough removed from my personal life that I feel comfortable doing so as long as I’m careful. Definitely need to do more research and weigh my options and ideally get more than one opinion for my real life diagnosis.

Thank you for the information!

That’s the norm unfortunately. Immigration is not about the person immigrating, it’s about if you’re useful to the country. It’s also the norm that typically the only real way to be let in on a work permit long term is if they specifically need people in your field (usually highly skilled white collar work and/or jobs that they have trouble filling locally). Speaking from experience as someone that immigrated as a young child from China to Canada with parents that got in through this exact route. There’s a reason developing countries are experiencing brain drains, where do you think they’re going? Too often do I wonder if our lives would be better if we stayed in China since we’re not exactly doing superb over here, but I’m already a Canadian citizen, went through all of high school and university here, barely know how to read and write Chinese and am pretty far removed from the culture back there, so that ship has sailed.

Even though those same countries you mentioned literally frame their immigration programs as “look how much we’re doing for those poor people in third world (sic) countries! we’re such bastions of niceness and human rights!”

Honestly the economic situation in Canada definitely does not help. It’s hard enough for a neurotypical person here to live a good life it seems. I know for a fact that the uncertainty of my future here has aggravated my anxiety disorder (diagnosed, medicated which does help at least to prevent panic attacks, but frankly I don’t even know how much is actually anxiety “disorder” and how much is actual reasonable fear for how I’ll survive). Probably interacts negatively with my possible autism too.

Hexbear provides balance for sure.

I’m Chinese. Not even the “good” Chinese like HK or Taiwan either, so…

Its children are worse (US, Canada, Australia)

Reparations would be more palatable if they were disbursed to the lower classes without regard for race.

As in, socialist redistribution of wealth?

Collectivization all wealth under dictatorship of the proletariat will give reparations to the marginalized by default, by virtue of evening out the wealth for everyone! Not saying specific attention to marginalized groups is not needed of course, but I consider that a critical element within collectivization.

TIL that it’s referring to that. Wait so basically US private prisons are gulags?

You have the patience of a saint for continuing to debate them after the Reddit influx. I’ve completely stopped trying to debate the libs on Lemmy because it ruins my mood and mental health more than it has hope of convincing them or even starting a productive conversation where either one of us stand to learn from the other. I still make it a point to expose myself to all dissenting views because I feel that as a socialist I should at least be aware of all the viewpoints, but I don’t care enough to actually engage with them anymore.

Seriously tho what’s the difference between a Soviet gulag and a Western prison? Any society that still has crime requires correctional facilities, the USSR is no different. Why do libs insist on Soviet ones being called gulags? If you want to criticize their prison system just call it that. I know it’s a Russian word but we’re speaking English here which already has a word for prisons, and to me the Soviet system really does not seem different or unique enough to warrant its own word as a proper noun. (I-it’s not just to make the Soviet system seem more evil by distancing it from their own Western prison systems right? I-it’s not that right?)
