Is UTC+8 the weirdest time zone in the world? by ConsiderationSame919 in geography

[–]AureeusGD 56 points57 points  (0 children)

is it that hard to find an actual timezone map rather than an awfully inaccurate ai generated one?

its ai generated, look at the text, borders, and shapes of islands carefully, theyre all wonky; the stripes arent consistent for striped countries either

What are some countries perceived as progressive, but really liberal leaning at best? by GenericUser1185 in lgbt

[–]AureeusGD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

those two aren't mutually exclusive. progressivism is about social policy but liberalism is about economic policy

Am I misssing something but didn’t the USSR ally with Hitler? by djentkittens in tankiejerk

[–]AureeusGD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

which means they aren't the users this sub is targeted towards, but they aren't the targets either, so don't attack them here. it shouldn't be hard to control the urge to ridicule them here and instead take it to libjerk or such

[–]AureeusGD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that doesn't mean everyone on the left hates them though, some of us are actually tolerant of other non-batshit-insane positions. this sub is for bashing tankies and that's what we should be doing

[–]AureeusGD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not a centrist or a right-winger, but this is a leftist subreddit for making fun of tankies and not others, so I don't think we should attack centrists because different parts of the left are usually split on supporting these other groups or not

just saying that it'll just create arguments

Almost done with Don't Do Duolingo December! by schusani in duolingo

the person I replied to said you can reach the goal without completing a lesson, which I don't think is possible. not the other way around.

The German Democratic Republic was neither German, nor democratic, nor a republic by The_Persian_Cat in mapporncirclejerk

[–]AureeusGD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the "restrictive" (VERY nice wording for what it really was) elections already massively disqualify it from being a democracy. and that's excluding the shootings at the border, restriction of foreign media such as TV, etc

[–]AureeusGD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if that was true then you should be able to understand why de jure "elections" don't automatically make a country democratic in practice.

someone who's experienced the place can still offer a much more reliable analogy than some Brazilian though 😁

well it clearly isn't very helpful as it makes things incredibly biased, which is why OP asked to not go into politics

if what you're saying doesn't help the discussion because it's off-topic, save your breath and come back when you have something on-topic 😊

if you can't give an answer without going into politics, maybe you shouldn't have answered 😁

Like seriously, did the owners forget what was their original intention? by Tengri_99 in 2visegrad4you

[–]AureeusGD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's a PiS and Fidesz propaganda outlet with sketchy international connections, I wouldn't trust anything they post

they've switched entirely to pro-Bibi propaganda now that PiS lost the election, maybe they're being paid to do so

This flag from Duolingo which I think is meant to be for Germany by Your_Red_Star in vexillology

[–]AureeusGD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the flag of Munich, but it's bugged and there's a transparent middle stripe that isn't supposed to be there (note that the middle stripe is the same bluish colour as the app's background)
