> As seen above, this doesn't follow especially after the establishment of collective farming where everyone were considered workers.

Correct! Farmers owned the landed, the communists came and stole it from them - sorry "collectivized" it - and so made it worse for the farmers turned proletariat. So you understand that farmers hated communists.

Of course Lenin had an interest in selling the idea that everyone is actually proletariat. In reality by Marx's definition, proletariat are those who don't own the means of production (and are therefore stuck in earning by selling their labour), whereas farmers at least until the NEP died, mostly owned their own farms which means they did own the means of their production, which is also why farmers, or virtually everyone in the USSR outside the cities hated the communists.

But I got your point.

> nearly everyone in the USSR was working class

For most of its history, nearly everyone in the USSR was a farmer, so not proletariat and not communist.

> I would suggest watching the film

The first few paragraphs on how the movie is about a person remembering important episodes of his life got me curious and gave me Butterfly Effect vibes (good), but reading further down I started getting Mulholland Drives vibes (not good).

That might or might not make sense depending on what df1 and df2 contain.

But what are you saying, that typing wrong things you might get wrong results? Yes, coding is like that.

What's your point, make a point.

It's funny because I've had the opposite heuristic most of my line: the things I want to do most are whatever is hardest. This worked great for building my maths and physics skills and knowledge.

But when I started focusing on making money I've come to believe it's a bad heuristic for that purpose.

The West is a group of countries characterized by strong institutions and rule of law so Usa, Canada, europe, Japan, a Korea, Australia (it's not in fact a geographical term)

What I meant is that Ukraine is putting up a fight against an aggressor is doing unbelievably, and the west while helping isn't helping nearly as much as it should.

Nonsense, if you understand why df[df.sh ==val] you'll see it's great. If you don't, you can also do df.query("sh == val").

We don't want to invade Russia. In fact, we don't think about Russia at all.

New comment by bdjsiqoocwk in "Lucid dreaming app triples users' awareness in dreams, study finds"

I once met a guy whom I told I some times had lucid dreams. He replied matter factly - lucid dreams don't exist, with the same of contempt you'd tell a creationist that God doesn't exist. I said they do exist because I've had them before. At this point from his look he must believe I'm perhaps trolling him, like I'm claiming that I can fly or become invisible. After a lot of back and forth and a lot of condescension from him, he eventually admits he doesn't know what a "lucid dream" is. So he just thought it meant something like "I have visions in my dreams and they predict the future", and assumed that's what I meant without even bothering to check.

You wouldn't believe the kind of stupid people you meet at physics conferences.

So maybe think with your own head instead of just taking the average of everyone else's opinion.
