TheTimeKnife@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you know you're actually reasoning - and not just storytelling?8·3 days agoBy remaining self critical. Listening to new ideas. Trying to not hold it against myself when I’m wrong. Also reading, lots and lots of reading. I’ve been reading at a college level since the middle of elementary school, and Ive used that time to read a ridiculous corpus of books, tomes, treatises and manuscripts. Can even speak and write a little Old Babylonian.

Lying about how you are being criticized is not a genius plan to avoid the consequences of what you said. Can you communicate in anything other than buzz words or am I talking to a chat bot?
TheTimeKnife@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Panic among Moscow’s Elite As Putin Moves to Seize Tycoon’s EmpireEnglish221·7 days agoCall me crazy, but people might take ML users stand against fascism more seriously if they did literally anything with it besides just rooting for a different Imperial kleptocracy built on violence.
TheTimeKnife@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?4·9 days agoThat is true, but I would really like to live in the region and Jordan is probably the safest bet. Otherwise Morocco is the smart choice for arabic speaking nation tolerant of Americans with a reasonable margin for safety. I won’t be leaving anytime soon either way, this is more of a dream living abroad answer for right now. I intend to vote, protest and be a pain in the ass until they drive me out.

Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?121·10 days agoMorocco or Jordan. Been trying to learn Arabic for a few years and would love to be forced to take it more seriously. Mostly can just read the letters. They are relatively safe countries that are in areas of the world I have studied extensively. Also means closer travel to many of the old cities I want to visit.
TheTimeKnife@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you reading right now and recommend for others?3·11 days agoIm reading The Bridge on the Drina, and the first Ahriman omnibus from the warhammer universe right now. Id recommend the first to anyone, its an absolute classic. The second I would recommend to anyone who likes warhammer or weird sorcerer bull shit.
TheTimeKnife@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some good uses for smart phones?1·12 days agoI use one called W1ANT Satellite Tracker. I don’t think it has a camera feature. The fun for me is locating the sat and following it from a map. In practice this involves me looking like a lunatic running around my apartment complex with my HT held sideways, staring up at the sky.
TheTimeKnife@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some good uses for smart phones?3·12 days agoHam radio is licensed by the country you live in. In the US, the basic technician license is very cheap and the test to get it is fairly easy with an abundance of online materials, including answer keys, to study. The reason these licenses are important is because ham operators need to operate within legally defined band plans, or radio frequency allocation guidelines. Emergency services, search and rescue, your nations military, all use specific radio bands given to them by the government. The license helps teach you how to avoid interfering with someone who can get you into serious trouble. It also helps keep you safe, and requires you to learn some basic electrical knowledge that frankly will be mildly useful the rest of your life. Amateur radio is a really fun skill that isn’t that hard to learn. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask and if you want specific information about your countries licensing, Im happy to help look it up.
EDIT: Just to add, you can always listen without a license. That’s why scanners exist, but you need a license once you hit the button to transmit on a ham radio frequency.
TheTimeKnife@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some good uses for smart phones?7·12 days agoI use it for a lot, but one I haven’t seen mentioned. I use it to support my ham radio hobby. I have a satellite tracker for when I want to contact radio sats, a solar weather app for checking HF propagation and I have echolink which let’s me connect to hundreds of radio repeaters around the globe.
*HF = high frequency, its a section of radio frequencies that bounce off the atmosphere. Let’s you talk worldwide if you have the right frequency and conditions. Solar weather significantly impacts how radio waves interact with the upper atmosphere.
TheTimeKnife@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani declines to condemn ‘globalize the intifada’15·14 days agoLiterally every part of this story being pushed by media is an obvious willful lie. They scoured the internet, could find no proof he ever said their bull shit lie. Now the story is suddenly, why won’t he say these exact words that mean the same thing as a sentiment he already shared in this interview. You have to be such a gullible rube to fall for this crap. If the dude ever said anything like this, it would be playing non-stop on everything.

TheTimeKnife@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too.13·22 days agoNo, I think the union should be preserved. Losing the long war to confederates who want to re-segregate the country isn’t an option. We shouldn’t abandon the people in those states to whatever violence republicans can justify.
