If we look at the rhetoric, the soviet state was certainly left wing, but the main policy was state capitalism. To my mind, state capitalism is not a right wing (favors private control of industry) nor a left wing (favors worker control of industry) policy.
This is definitely a case where pure left/right dichotomy doesn’t serve to accurately describe the situation on the ground.
Oh yeah, large dagger was definitely an option too. Bollucks dagger was a standard, for instance
The average croissant has more folds than the average katana
Swords were a personal defense status symbol. They were fairly expensive, required training, and were often legally restricted deoending when and where we are talking about. This is why they continue to have sich mystique.
Most peope who needed self defense used a stick
It depends. Often the Indian guy (or equivalent) is giving specific knowledge on how to use a piece of software or library. That’s something the professor cannot and should not be focusing on. Too transitory.
We can think of it like cooking… If you understand emulsification using starch, it unlocks the ability to create many kind of sauces, but it won’t really help you with the specific recipe if Sauce Merchand du Vin. Fundamentals and tutorials are both good info, and the mistakes come from applying them to the wrong situations, or not having enough context to use either
So, the professor gives you the knowledge to fully leverage it and take it in any direction.
Your friend gives you a single option that might help.
The Indian guy presents a straightforward path to a solution you might not want?
It’s not really good to compare the different situations of information sharing, because they have different goals. The professor isn’t needlessly complicating it, they are giving you fundamentals to build on.

Nick Zentner (@GeologyNick) has been delivering college level lectures and seminars in geology for years. He has several lecture series ranging from 101 level, senior College level, to breaking research. He also has many shorts and onsite presentations.
Noraly (@ItchyBoots) has been traveling around the world via motorcycle for 6 or so years. She’s currently traversing western Africa, and has hundreds of hours of backlog. She has previously traveled from India to the Netherlands, and then from Argentina to Alaska (with a break for COVID).
In January 1968, a progressive faction was able to gain control of the government in communist Czechoslovakia. They proceeded to liberalize the country. Czech media was allowed to be critical of Soviet-style communism for the first time, and many restrictions on individuals were eased. This was called the “Prague Spring”
Fearing a weakened position in the cold war and a spreading desire for liberal reforms in other countries, the Soviet Union, with the aid of other Warsaw Pact countries, invaded Czechoslovakia in order to install a more friendly regime and bring the country back in line with Soviet policy.
For many western communists and socialists, this was the final nail in the coffin for support of Soviet-style communism. A small minority, however, supported the action. They were labeled as “tankies” because of the imagery of tanks rolling in to Czech cities.
Today, “tanky” is used to label a spectrum of people. At one end are those who have large support for marxist-lenninist/marxist-lenninist-stalinist/marxist-lenninist-maoist Communism (different philosophies of how to accomplish a communist revolution) at one extreme. At another end are people who support the current Russian or Chinese governments because they oppose American imperialism. Most of those people do not really identify as “tankies”. The current usage also doesn’t really relate to the original, as most people don’t have a stance on the Soviet response to the Prague Spring today.
Lemmy.ml is understood to be friendly to marxist-lenninist thought, since the founders subscribe to that philosophy. Thus, users of the instance are often labeled as “tankies”.
Like, the music video was a birthday present to her, and was published by the producer. Iirc she didn’t even make any money from it
Shipping can certainly be made much less impactful, if that’s what you are thinking. A lot of shipping is overland trucking, and a lot of overland trucking can be replaced with trains, and a lot of trains can be replaced with electrified trains. That would make quite a bit of difference

Edgy humor is humor generated from the pain of others.
The first one is funny, the second is boring and shitty
Rains on eastern equatorial coasts are caused by circulation af the hadley cells. The pressure differetials are caused by heating, and the circular course is from corialis forces. Adding heat won’t shutdown either of these. what other mechanisms would result in desert in the amazon or phillipines?
