It is not pedantic. You said that Iran funded terrorism “across Europe”. When asked for sources, half of what you provided was not relevant to the statement. I surmise you are arguing in bad faith.
Two of these are outside of Europe.
The top comment on this very thread at the time I write this is clear bad-faith disinformation. Life is a Cabaret, but the Cabaret is not life. The tone here has changed for the worse, especially since the election, and…
I have vivid nighttime hallucinations. Sometimes it is bugs or spiders (so many spiders), other times dancing teacups emptying themselves onto my face. I remember a time when my alarm clock was a lion that I had to…
With mouse support coming in visionOS 2, this could be an interesting experience on the Apple Vision Pro.
My concerns tend to be the cost in terms of land and intermittency that are harder to evaluate. Nevertheless, I believe we should not let the perfect (nuclear) be the enemy of the good (renewables), so your comments are…
I knew someone who worked at the child care center. Things got really bad after the pandemic. I heard that people were promoted for very sketchy reasons. The result was a bureaucracy-heavy mess of incompetence and…
The first complete work I read was Sallustius’ “Conspiracy of Catiline”. I was not prepared for such ridiculous propaganda.
> If you ask specifically about the discrepancy it will usually deny the discrepancy entirely or double-down on the mistake. I have had the exact opposite experience. I pasted error messages from code it generated, I…
I had a conversation with it in Latin yesterday. I also just spent way more time than I care to admit on inquiries about late-18th/early-19th century governments. It seems better at providing high-level information than…
For anyone curious, the name could be translated to “All Ways”.
I have learned the hard way that when dealing with government software (at least in the US), you must assume the least favorable/most unfavorable interpretation of any information given. When I saw the email informing…
The idea that the Soviet Union won WWII is itself propaganda and ignores the contributions of many, many nations, not to mention the entire Pacific war. Also, the liberation of France was exclusively the western allies.
Economics is not physics. It has no laws. And the field could not exist if it were zero-sum. Edit: I should clarify that economics does not have laws in the same way physics does. The ‘law of diminishing returns’, for…
I had been saying for years that Russian conventional military power was vastly overestimated, yet even I have been surprised at their dismal performance so far. A week ago, I assumed decisive Russian victory to be a…
> It could be seen as provocative. The invasion of Ukraine has invalidated this line of reasoning. NATO is the only definitive way to prevent a Russian invasion now, and every moment of delay puts Finland in greater…
Jacquesm demonstrated that there was no point, and therefore nothing to address.
Whether or not you make this argument, or whether you feel it is unnecessary, is beside the point. People often ask "What about the waste?" as a sort of final argument. I have encountered this multiple times. It can be…
It was implicit in your statement: > Without pressure from grades, [students] won't do the work of learning. If it were qualified with ‘many’ students, there would be no such confusion. Your comment, as-is, is trivially…
In what way does the late-fee policy prevent this?
The average compensation for a member of the board of directors at an S&P 500 company is ~$300,000/year. Goldman Sachs pays ~$600,000/year. Senators and Representatives are paid $174,000/year. I consider decision-making…
I was quite sure that this depiction of a bomb was based on 18th century grenades, which were spherical and had a string fuse. The word ‘grenade’ even comes from pomegranate, due to the visual similarity. It seems like…
Universal statement? The above commenter specified California. I provided an example confirming that statement for California. Not to mention, the comment is practically a truism aside from the locations mentioned:…
It is absolutely true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encina_Power_Station#Retiremen... I lived there. I believed the 'environmentalists' when they said that SONGS would be replaced by renewables. I am not falling for it…
Last week, I looked at the comments on a YouTube video about the Afghanistan withdrawal. I noticed something suspicious: two comments with a similar political view ended with a few whitespaces and a pipe character…
