lmao I'm so fucking glad he outed himself to a much wider population as a lil' ol' not-smart weirdo with... y'know... everything he's done recently

Still not ideal , but at least fewer people at work will repeat this to me as a serious claim, and those who do with less enthusiasm on average

I hadn't even considered how jarring the political switch to antisemitism will be. Dems through a lens of nauseatingly misused left-adjacent points, and Reps with more overt racism and exciting language. If the NYT runs an article called "Were the Alt-Right right about Israel?" I'm putting my fucking head right in the lathe next

Nah, I'm just a normal person without an editor. MB fam

I think I got it

That's a fair point

I had meant purely that I didn't recall a Hezbollah retaliation as wide scale as this before now. Clearly they're being intentionally provoked, and are not in any sense the aggressors here.

What do you think is a better way to say it? I will edit

Edit: I just made it super academic and it fixed it as far as I can see.

The anime is a complete story IMO, but obvs your call ¯\(ツ)/¯

Agree!

I liked the below, if you don't mind a bit of fantasy isakei being in the mix.

EN title: The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

"Hah, how wonderful! And how do they reply when you say you don't necessarily want them to die?"

"I don't say that."

The word "antisemitism" has lost all meaning.

They're pretty explicit in talking about the word, not the concept. Nobody here is saying antisemitism, the concept, doesn't exist or isn't important, but that the signifier less and less frequently refers to the actual concept of antisemitism.

I think you might just be arguing at cross purposes. Original post was borderline a purely linguistic observation, but you're talking about the underlying phenomenon.

Honestly, that excuse reads like the stupidpol version of the prisoner's dilemma or something. Surreal.

As the years go by I'm becoming more convinced that the ability to navigate UIs is negatively correlated with coding ability.

Oh yeah, the above points are technical and totally overlook 'weird fuckery' and 'post-GME fuckery' as tangible risks, but they definitely are :\

Lmao, guess we're well and truly on the same page regarding the whole GME thing

edit: I would have done an epsilon cat face if I could. I don't know if it would have made the joke better or worse

It's all Greek to me :3 (I'm nominating this for worst joke I've ever made)

Thanks fam, and I agree with your analysis there. I've been feeling like I'm crazy or something with how confident people are in the Friday gamma squeeze and impending short squeeze.

Jimmy Snore, noted massive fucking idiot, fucked it up again. Got convinced by a boogaloo boy on his show who said "We're not fash! We're left-wing!" and a bunch of other dumb shits said "Yea, that sounds about right. I was born literally yesterday."

"In this paper we present a novel optimization algorithm inspired by the want of horny chapos to fuck during a pandemic, and their emergent self-organizing properties in such a context. The algorithm is denoted Chapos Choosing Partners (CCP), and is applied to the horny traveling salespersons problem, the multi-agent variation of the NP-Hard and NP-Horny Don Quixote optimization problem, which is itself a variant of the NP-Hard traveling salesman problem."

Encouraging right-wing infighting is smart. People saying that the FBI will use this to recruit random white supremacists, rather than just hiring any of the abundance of young college educated white supremacists, have a poor understanding of the organizational culture of the FBI (and their entry requirements).

I really don't think it's that simple. For example, the FBI and violent pro-Trump groups overlap but have very different organizational goals. One are a fascist group who are historically largely fine with any republican or modern (openly neolib) dem, the other are obviously not (at the moment) fine with anybody but Trump. So, I think it's entirely possible that, at the moment, these two groups can harm each other (the FBI have much more power obviously).

The idea that right-wing infighting just cannot exist, and shouldn't be used where possible, is so damaging to leftist movements in my opinion. We acknowledge that infighting tends to fuck us, but shame comrades for engaging with fascists even when they're blatantly just trying to spur infighting between fascist groups.
