Why, a hexvex of course!
Yup, most people of the Jewish faith are not the state of Israel. Much as most people of the Islamic faith are not terrorists. People mostly just want to lead comfortable lives.
It’s a great case of A->B being misunderstood as A<->B to justify incredible shittiness.
I do sometimes wonder if I should write a paper full of examples suggesting that this really simple misunderstanding of logic is what drives the enshittification of humanity _
Pretty much - most of us (scholars being a synonym for academics, a set I do belong to [lectureship in mathematics and statistics]) agree that bombing the homes of people into rubble and striking the camps they flee to is an intentional attempt to erase a cultural group.
Go for a double-kill - enter a committed relationship with a teddy bear. Bonus points for a marriage ceremony.
Academic here - it’s 100% genocide. More so, it’s the worst kind of genocide, it’s sanctioned genocide built upon conflating a people with their government.
That’s incredibly cynical of you…
Well done! It is a scarily plausible scenario!
I mean, it sounds to me like men also chose the bear. Why did they choose the bear, is it because they’re stupid? Probably not, they likely just thought their odds were better with the bear.
Dropping the metaphor, and looking in the cold light of day, those young men saw a better future under Trumpler than Harris. Articles signaled this well before, and nothing was done to address it.
Will their future be better - probably not. Can they be made to think their future is better, that’s a tough one. Remember, you can trick one group of people into thinking they have more rights by stripping the rights of those around them.
Our deepest condolences from across the pond.
Halsin would like a word.
School toilets are about to become even more traumatic when gen alpha starts teaching.
At least I just have random nyan cat bullet points in my slides, with a lot of random loss thrown in.
Don’t worry, the scientific community is working on getting it renamed to solve exactly this problem.
It’s going to be called “urectum”.
I’m richer than I’ve ever been, and I am far less spontaneous than I’ve ever been.
It’s not linear, it’s some weird polynomial equation!
Congratulations, that is the single most cursed ai creation I’ve seen all year. Outstanding!
“In time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings…”
The question isn’t really “ads or subs” these days, it’s “your data or your dollar”, and in this situation there is no good option (since your dollar is the perfect identifier for your data!).
Academia would like a word.
I need to put a vote in here for owlbears and owlcats, if only because of how excited they make my partner when encountered.
So here’s the question - is the scale consistent over time? That is, do we consider the same ideas left/right wing in 202x as we did in 199x?
Let’s assume it is. We’re seeing men lean towards the center/right, and a lot of people are asking why. The trouble is, the answer isn’t one people like to hear - in our headlong pursuit of equity, we’re introducing a lot of inequality. You lift the ladies up, while you let the men climb - all based on the assumption that the women had further to climb so what you’re doing is levelling the field.
Countering this is a sympathetic voice, one offering to bring back equality or offer a different kind of equity. Casting gender equity as a zero sum game, and pushing for equality aimed at the ones not being lifted up.
I often hear the “uneducated men” argument, but that’s just an ugly echo from the past serving those it once oppressed in a bitter irony. The reality is that even educated people can fall for propaganda. Especially when voting in what they see as their own self interest.
Don’t forget Nixon’s head!
So if the average price was $50 in 2000, and is about $70 today, assuming a linear rate of price increases, it would be $1663.33 in 4024.
This is a terrible model: it likely underestimates as inflation is geometric rather than arithmetic.
For a geometric model we have r=1.011329 over this period, thus extrapolating we get a price of…
$208,200,000,000
Which is insane, because it is so low for Nintendo!
I think that’s the conflation - Jews in Israel and Jews in New York state fall into the set Jews. However the right wing supporters of Netenyahu’s government are but a subset of the former.
A better comparison would be that the number of Jews in New York state was once close to the number of peaceful Palestinians and peaceful Israelis; meanwhile, the number of hardline genocidal Israelis was roughly equal to the number of Hamas terrorists. Those sets seem a better match, as they share more core categorical features.
