That's like... 4 or 5 times the speed of sound at sea level so... There would be a bit of a boom.

The real question is if you slapped hard enough to raise the temperature to 74C (undergrad clearly doesn't cook), what would the temperature of your hand be? And for the engineers: how far up your arm would you have to measure before the temperature returned to normal body temperature? And for the bio/kin/nursing/premed students: how much would need to be amputated?

The only identity politics I want to see is us against the ruling elite. Everything else is sparkling fascism.

I prefer to call it democracy with American characteristics.

Yeah, and it's fully legal for them to take any money you have and claim it's related to drug money (even if you're a citizen). You can always get it back if you fight for it but.....

Don't bring things with you that you don't want taken from you (unless you have to).

Obviously. To minimize the effect of what little say citizens have, you make it as difficult as possible to vote.

Given that the existence of the US as it is (i.e. 5 companies in a trench coat) is completely dependent upon continued neo colonialism, I'm surprised it took this long to auto-enroll citizens for the draft

I like how the reactionary communities post shit that isn't thought out. Then you got a couple of... Left communities where they post thought out essays. Too long to read but probably mostly true

Decrease civilian crime in favour of state crime. Woo.

I think it would be wise for them to open state distribution outlets. Have the cops seize drugs, then resell it at a discount. It would help pay for the cost of policing and increase the GDP!

I think you are right (erasing culture is part of a genocide). But why target scientists specifically? To boycott, divest, and sanction (BDS) a country committing genocide, you target what you can. A university can divest from Israeli companies, and boycott their universities through the cancelling of visiting academics, joint research projects, etc. beyond that the university has little direct action they can take.

Why would you believe this? First you would have to answer why the scientists are being shunned. Then, is this the same problem in these other countries? Then you have to ask why would it be a bad thing for them to work elsewhere? What about the countless good scientists in the west who are unemployed? Why not be worried about them going to other countries?

I suspect you aren't involved in science at all. The default is that scientists travel between countries for opportunities. There are far more scientists than jobs for them, especially when you consider the scientists trained in very specific fields. To be concerned with the shunning of a specific nationality of scientists ignore why they may be shunned. And to be concerned with where this specific group will then go, is low-key racist.

It absolutely sucks that Ukraine was invaded. But this is what happens with war. The alternative is to continue dying, as they really don't stand a chance with the Milk toast support from the west.

I hope they have a reasonable counter offer so that the innocent civilians can stop suffering, or they accept defeat.
