    Mainly because it is weird to walk up to someone and ask wether they are smart, and even if they reply you can't trust someone's personal judgement about themselves.

    A good place to look for like-minded people that you can discuss intellectual subjects with are reading circles. They're also a great way to read more theory and understand it.

    The japanese were prepared to surrender after the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, not the bombs. The bombs were dropped due to cold war politics. They were practically just a stunt to scare Soviets.

    Advice for a DnD 5e homebrew race

    I want advice to balance this out: Fungal Folk Ability Score Increase: Your constitution score increases by 2, and your wisdom score by 1. Age: Fungal Folk can live eternally but they would need to find a new host body every ~150 years or so. They usually mature in a week as that is the usual amount of time it takes for a medium-sized creature to be fully under the control of the fungus. Alignment: TN Fungal Folk only care for themselves but will often create loose rules among each other if there is enough of them in a place. Size: Fungal folk are usually the size of humans but slightly taller due to added fungal mass. Your size is medium. Speed: Your base walking speed is 30ft. Fungal Body: You are immune to all poison damage. If a beast bites into your body, they have to take 1d6 poison damage. Fungal Network: Whenever you are in contact with a fungal network (the DM decides) you gain advantage for all your rolls including initiative. You can also communicate with any fungal creature anywhere as long as it is touching the same fungal network. Languages: You can speak common, and fungal some extra ideas I have for this race are: Fungal Knowledge: Gain proficiency in alchemist's tools and gain advantage when using mushrooms and fungus as ingredients. Fungal perseverance: If killed, you can come back to life. To come back to life, a piece of your fungal mass needs to be transported to a corpse, this needs to be done in a certain amount of time depending on the size of the piece: Whole mass 7 days, torso-size 3 days, leg-size 1 day, arm size 12 hrs, hand size 3hrs. After the piece has latched onto a body it takes 5+2d10 days for the fungus to infest the new body and make the character be playable again. All this needs to be done by a third party like another PC or an NPC. The same rules are used for when your body is too old or unusable for any other reason.

    Regarding the mortgage, the movement, and the instability of its value I do agree that renting will help you with that. But renting will always cost more than having a house(no mortgage) and paying bills, repairs, maintenance, and anything else. This is due to the landlord having to make you pay more than he has to spend to make it profitable. In practically, if someone is a landlord as their only/main source of income (were talking big firms or rich individuals here not people on retirement or anything) they are spending the tenants money for all repairs maintenance and anything else whilst pocketing the surplus/profit.

    Of course, in our current capitalist system buying a house straight up is nigh impossible but most people prefer owning a house and will only say they prefer renting because they don't have the income to own a house straight up because of the initial cost, even if it's cheaper long term. Like anything in capitalism, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

    Yes this is definitely true, although this is just against kids that don't know the second thing about fascism and what they support. Against people further down the rabbit hole that generally believe this, you must be much more careful and it is a much longer process. With any fascist there's also the risk of them reverting and damaging the left community.

    The most important thing when discussing politics is to be patient. Of course they won't become communists straight away but if you patiently keep on explaining, then over time their opinions will change, at first by small amounts and then later by more significant amounts until they're hopefully communists

    Unfortunately it's just a few minutes long so I can just outline the very basics of the topic but I also include a positives and negatives of the USSR bit in it. My hope Is that, since I will present it in front of class, I will be able to give people a view of the union that is it mainly just being a normal country with its own problems but many more positives as well

    What were the biggest flaws of the soviet union?

    I'm doing a presentation on the soviet union for school soon and i would like to know all your opinions on this. I've got: an over-bloated bureaucracy (which was prone to corruption), rural poverty (which is very unfair as basically all countries have rural poverty- difference is that some countries actually help these people), and a lacking light industry that led to economic dissatisfaction from the populace. I might share the PowerPoint here for your feedback although its very small as its for a vocational exam that is only a few minutes

    To my understanding the government doesn't openly discriminate against Tatars although I have little to zero knowledge on the subject (and even if they are not racist openly there should still be analysis of the laws of the Russian Federation to see whether they structurally discriminate)

    The wikipedia article mentioned a singular individual and unnamed institutions, although it wouldn't surprise me if widespread negative sentiment against Tatars did exist(especially considering the stereotypes attributed to them). I am not claiming that it does not exist but that the article doesn't definitely state any widespread sentiment. unfortunately I couldn't read the two sources in the "in modern times" as I can't read russian. although they seemingly were just referencing the actions of the soviet union and not Russia as of today(by soviet union the probably mean Russia anyways as it would be the republics that create autonomous areas and not the union as a whole)

    Basically,(Adam claims) the gravel institute portrays their point(US funding Nazis in Ukraine) disingenuously and move the goal posts from the US funding the far right to the far right managing to gain weapons. This is all false as the video made a point of different US officials actively knowing that they are supporting the far right and not trying to stop them from gaining help. Another point Adam makes is that the video cut clips disingenuously but in reality it just used shortened clips without any weird cuts.
