That we know of.

Great, discussion over.

That covers recent history. What about Egypt, or the Roman Empire?

You didn’t mean increase in quality of life for everyone in the world, just for the people under that government?

There’s a lot of candidates in “human history”.

I’m pretty sure there was no comparative research involved in your assessment, but you might look at Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_life but there’s no mention of China there at all.

Probably because Wikipedia is orientalist and just a Western megaphone. But you quoted them, so maybe not.

That’s a bold statement, what’s your source?

And you are impartial, saying someone you do not know has an “orientalist” bias. Throwing out pejorative words, linking to lengthy fringe arguments like a Trump supporter telling me to watch Hannity.

I see you’re defending your heroes by parsing words and cherry-picking books and news and rallying your arguments (and propaganda) to defend them. I expected nothing less from you; it’s exactly the same thing a Trump supporter would do.

Carry on, comrade. Enjoy yourself. You have the evangelistic fervor of a Baptist preacher.

I could find books that say the Nazis are great guys too. Doesn’t make it right.

Don’t forget, most of the countries in Europe bad also. Oh, and Japan very bad at times.

“Oops! I killed 15 million people, but it was an accident. My bad. Who knew forcibly moving all the farmers to the city and making them work in factories would cause a famine?”

-Mao, probably

PS: 15 million is the low end number. 15-55 million is the commonly accepted number, with some estimates as high as 70 million.

At some point you’d think he’d look around and notice.

Wasn’t the great leap forward by Mao the biggest mass murder in world history, according to historians not governments?

Doesn’t whitewashing that amount to Holocaust denial level cultural blindness?

I know nothing, quick Google search.

I know the mod erased it, but could you hint at the inappropriate post’s content?

She’s obviously into you, you should give her your SSN so she can check out your financial stability. It makes you even more attractive

Low heat, but if you’re not cooking your scrambled eggs in butter, you’re doing it wrong.

I agree that AI is ruining search engines (although they were already very bad because they were tweaked for people who paid to be first in results), but they actually can be useful in a situation like this, restricted to a very narrow data set to learn.

I went to Linux because it was free and available. I used Linux Mint 22.1 Ubuntu and I didn’t find it easy.

I think it would be helpful to have a central resource with docs and forums tied in to an AI, so you could type in the problem and get an answer without having to resort to search engines - which are getting worse and worse.

I wonder if some distro couldn’t give a plug-and-play experience for people who don’t want the extra security of having to use root and who don’t want extra customization.

Just wall off the sensitive areas and mimic the experience of Windows, but with newer, open software.

Scanned that, and it appears that the Muslim and Hindu peoples were fighting

As independence approached, the violence between Hindus and Muslims in the provinces of Punjab and Bengal continued unabated.

There’s a statement earlier that the fighting was instigated by the British, but it lacks citation.

The Congress was secular and strongly opposed to having any religious state.[96] It insisted there was a natural unity to India, and repeatedly blamed the British for “divide and rule” tactics based on prompting Muslims to think of themselves as alien from Hindus.[citation needed]

What, they were one big peaceful team until the British? Need a little background here

Lol, I’m skinny and gristley.

I don’t get it? Help?

I typed my response before I saw this but yeah, it’s my first response every time.
