Ah, the classic "Volunteerism as revolution."

Nothing wrong with it in spirit, but just as easily splintered and co-opted by the feds.

I very distinctly remember Putin's opening speech saying that if Ukraine wishes for continued de-sovietization so much, then Russia will provide it for them (as in take away the Russian speaking regions that were formed under the Ukrainian SR) , which is exactly the opposite of reforming the USSR.

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid going into the military which limits my options, but that kind of stuff is still way beyond AI modeling atm, maybe it will be possible in a decade or so (I doubt it, with the power requirements of current AI models, I don't think it will ever be profitable enough to do that) but manufacturing is still safest (kinda) for now.

This whole manufacturing production war with China is the dumbest thing we could possibly do as a country economically but I am betting on the U.S. being stupid.

I literally changed my second major to specifically go into engineering that focuses on manufacturing and robotics because while AI can make some aspects of the job simpler, the physical design and modeling of products still requires engineers to physically test the machines and make corrections, there is waaaaay too much specification. You may be able make things abit quicker, but it is incredibly unlikely that these modeling softwares will ever be data sold to general AI because their whole business model is monopolizing that data and guarding it.

It will never make me as much money as tech in it's hey-day and will never buy a house to be able to move to wherever the factories physically are, because manufacturing is still an unstable job field at the best of times (thanks capitalist mode of production).

They will try to replace us with robots, but I don't think the profitability model is there for it for a true follow-through investment in the U.S... besides, who will buy the product if we have no money for it?

Good luck, it's fucking tough out there.

Ask him how to determine the price of a bolt of linen in relation to how many coats can be made from it.

There's a couple of pictures of what appears to be a single person who got run over by a tank, but the idea that it was ordered by the government, or anything other than a singular tragedy during a poorly managed crowd control effort due to the existence of an active insurgency in another area is ludicrous.

They won't make the mistake of letting the market panic over it again. It destroys their credit credibility with those who know, but as long as the media doesn't cycle with it, nobody is going to care, even though we are very likely in a fundamentally more unsound economy than we were in 08. Waaay less bullshit ad revenue in the mix back then.

It used to be the only option really available throughout most of the middle of the country. I suspect nostalgia is the only thing really pulling it forward at this point, I genuinely never see anyone eating it.

Who could have ever thought that the most efficient form of monetary gain was an M-M exchange?

Makes sense! Best of luck to you!

Honestly, ignore my last comment. It has little to do with the topic at hand, which was the complicity of the spd in aiding the rise of fascism, which it absolutely was. This person you're talking to is going down rabbit holes, to tug at meaningless strings. The kpd were not the soviets so kronstadt is meaningless here.
