If you’re looking for books, then it depends on what field you want to study. Generally just I’d search for recommended textbooks for that field and then I’d definitely buy it and wouldn’t just download it from libgen.is

Now I’m wondering, surely someone has already made a language that’s designed to read like scripture?

The only thing that keeps me sane while working for capitalists is that I get paid to do a lot of nothing

Holy shit this is some of the absolute worst data visualisation I’ve ever seen, thankyou for this

🥳

Hell yeah, I’ve had a bunch of recommendations for things on the library. Currently I’ve got a physical copy of Dolgoff’s Anarchist Collectives I’m trying to finish

Fellow ADHDer here, I’m an anarchist so it might not be the kind of thing you’re looking for but I’ve found the Audible Anarchist podcast to be really good. Relatively short (10-20 minute) essay readings, I like them when I’m doing chores and need the stimulation.

There’s basically no way to answer these questions using real physics I’m afraid.

It definitely can’t close it’s mouth faster than the speed of light. Yes it would have a strong gravitational pull, almost definitely so strong that it would just collapse into a black hole and not be able to exist. If it weren’t that dense, then it would basically just be a big diffuse gas cloud that couldn’t do much anyway, it would basically have to be a proto galaxy to not collapse into one.

If it’s using magic to exist, then anything is on the table.

That’s not entirely accurate, the force it applies to close it’s mouth would probably travel at or close to the speed of sound along its jaw, but it could reach the speed of light by applying that force if you ignore a number of problems. One of which is that it will turn into a black hole at that scale, it’s much too dense.

On your second point, it’s hard to make any of those into galaxy killers. Supermassive black holes exist at the centre of virtually every galaxy and don’t do a ton, and even quasars only have limited killing range as there are limits to how collimated a beam of radiation can be. White holes are more complicated and I don’t have enough space in a single comment to go into the nuances, but they’re about as harmless as black holes really.

The only thing I can think of that would destroy all life in a galaxy would also destroy the universe, and that’s to trigger a false vacuum decay, but that might not be possible anyway.

Fuck this illegal government, Albo is a fucking coward and a hypocrite.

Shame

Can’t agree more, the HAFF was and frankly still is weak. All Labor has to do is pull some of the $14.5 billion in fossil fuel subsidies and they could easily build a ton of housing right now…

Children came to support a peaceful rally, they weren’t in danger until the police showed up.

There are many young people who care about things and want to help, many are refugees themselves and have just as much of a right to be there as anyone else. People are there to share stories, raise money for relief funds and to show our goddamn solidarity for people being murdered in their homes.

These rallies have been running for months now and no one at them has caused any issues, but the cops sure fucking have.

Yes, it was completely peaceful as it has been for the past 30 something weeks that these rallies have been held.

If you’ve ever been to a demonstration you’d understand that all the police do is show up and cause violence. No one needed protecting from us, we walked down a goddamn street. Last time I checked that wasn’t exactly a violent act. But people sure needed protecting from the police…

Wow, what an awful thing to assume. No, we listened to people talk about losing their families and the villages they grew up in.

No one was violent, no one called for violence and there was nothing for the police to stop. We walked through a street and then stood still peacefully.

I was at a peaceful rally a week ago, police showed up and acted as intimidating as possible. We stood around and listened to some very powerful speeches from Palestinians, the police left momentarily so that they could come and assualt the crowd from the side.

They pepper sprayed children. Fuck every cop who ever did their job.

I can highly recommend symfonium as a front end for a jellyfin music library on android, it’s super clean and has tons of nice features.

Free trade and mutual cooperation between collectives, I thought this was considered the standard anarchic model?
