As someone who grew up in Chinese restaurant kitchens… I can assure you a flat bottomed wok on an induction stovetop is never going to be adequate for traditional Chinese cooking.

Seconding this. I am but a humble gringo, and I do love an induction Cook top, but the insistence that everyone in earth can move 100% to induction in every instance only applies if you’re only making European dishes where flat bottom pans are standard.

Proper wok cooking needs gas, end of story.

You mean the people who, were this kind of property destruction not happening, would be making up instances of it anyway?

This building being burnt down is a loss for sure, but handwringing about propery destruction and optics, while ignoring the state violence against people, both in terms of police violence against protestors, and in terms of the systemic neglect of students, feels woefully irresponsible to me. You can’t be trying to appease these freaks.

Don’t make me tap the Sartre quote about fascists:

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

My history teachers tended to either be leftwing, or the kinds of right-wingers who’s only knowledge of history was what guns were used in what battle

Get the fuck off of Lemmy, no one wants you and your reactionary dreck here

Lol get your chud shit off of Lemmy

I just want public transit…

How very compelling

“You’re confusing actual leftists with the most successful tradition of Leftist political thought, which is highly diverse and continues to guide multiple States and movements today”

This is how these people sound. Obviously there are lots of things we can and should criticise about various ML projects. But this knee-jerk dismissal of an entire terrain of leftist thought, along with a general fetishization of failure, and refusal to engage with the complexities of governance, is intellectually lazy and unbecoming of “real leftists”.

.ml is mostly fine. I picked it, because it gives me a good view of both Hexbear and Lemmygrad, because I like seeing what the lefty-side of Lemmy is up to (turns out its a lot more posts about Beans than you might expect), while also letting me see most of the mainstream of Lemmy, which has more of a traditional old-Reddit style culture, which is nice.

I enjoy politics posting, and discussion. But it’s nice seeing other kinds of stuff too, and .ml let’s me do both.

What annoys me, and this is a Lemmy-wide problem, is people making assumptions about other’s beliefs based soley on their instance of choice. It’s not helpful, it’s not generative, and it’s a waste of everyone’s time.

Like, I don’t think you should be getting hate, just because you’re a .world user. As long as you’re asking a question in good faith, and not being a shithead, I see no reason why you posing this here should be an issue ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hot take: I think Howl’s Moving Castle is overrated, and people only like it so much, because of the hot wizard twink.

Its plot is muddy and poorly paced, and that scene where two old women struggle to walk up the stairs for multiple minutes always felt out of place to me.

I’m from a place where our regional pizza is cut into little squares, and it’s not as difficult or messy as you’re making it out to be

I mean, people can also be casually misogynistic about the interests of middle aged women ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you for the detailed answer! That’s interesting!

Because I see so many Sega Dreamcasts in my day to day life, in 2026. Man, fuck off. Have some curiosity about the world.

As it’s said when it’s anything not-China, “you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet”.

Cross the river by feeling the stones, as it were

Woah, this is the first I’m hearing about it running windows CE. Got anything where I can read more?

Well, for one thing, compare a Dreamcast controller to an original Xbox controller

How long until someone digs up a bunch of Halo Infinite discs from a New Mexico desert?

You were executed via chemical injection?

Jokes are funny though, and Elon is the least funny person on earth
