If street prices stay the same then it’s probably the rent making the differences in other stores

That makes sense, I’m just trying to understand OP’s view on large meetings. I understand the issue with calling it a punishment that those who are late have to miss the first part, but always waiting for everyone be present just seems impossible (similarly to delaying a concert).

Do you think a concert starting on time when not everyone who bought a ticket has arrived yet is ableist?

Do you have a link? I didn’t see anything about it.

All I’ve seen so far is her calling jewish protesters antisemites and saying that her support for Israel is no different than Bidens.

I like to hold my laptop at exactly those points where your design holds them and I suspect that that is the reason why my laptop is bent now. I hold it like that whenever I move it so not for long durations but frequently. I’d definitely recommend against doing it for longer durations.

Thinking that social democrats are further from liberal than socialists and communists is pretty funny. I’ve yet to see any social democrat party oppose market economy and/or private property. All over Europe socdem parties have been part of governments that have privatised essential markets like healthcare, public transport and housing. Their actions speak louder than their words.

Different communities then I guess, I browse ‘all’ a lot.

I guess me being a mathematician makes me notice them more. I’ve seen many in several communities, but me being biased makes me wish there were more.

This meme is highly misinformed about how any of these academic subjects work though. (Meta)physicists and theologists don’t make claims, they research the consequences of certain assumptions. Most elementary sciences work that way.

I think everyone with a niche skill experiences that to some extent. Almost all posts about mathematics on lemmy attract people acting like they understand what’s going on while making wrong claims lol, I only rarely see comments that are fully correct.

I’ve been (temp) banned from a 196 for openly not supporting Biden. Denying and hiding the fact that there are a lot of queer leftists who do not support Biden is erasure so I think it’s actually extremely important to have a community that is explicitly for those voices that get erased elsewhere. You won’t see many posts there encouraging others not to vote for Biden (in fact, I believe a lot of frequent posters there intent to vote for him if he doesn’t step out). So the way you’re framing the discourse in that community is just blatantly false.

I do agree that there are a lot of comments on this post that are transphobic which is inexcusable. I also think that you specifically are using this situation to try to mischaracterise a person you already clearly dislike. OP is justified in being hurt and frustrated by the fact that They were misgendered and couldn’t call out the mistake. You’re taking it much further by saying that the mod in question wants to genocide queer people because he used the wrong pronoun 1 time.

Honestly by now it should be pretty clear for anyone reading your comment history that you’re not open to people having a different way to oppose the current genocide that is going on and are happy use lies (a lot) to put your point forward and to try to silence others.

That’s not what I wrote though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason that he missed the capital in that comment is because he copied it from another comment he made or because writing that response has become so automated for him that he didn’t think about changing pronoun. It’s not an excuse but it’s more likely than it being intentional misgendering.

That community gets overrun by people saying to vote for Biden or defending Biden’s actions so it’s a lot of work to remove all those comments (there’s a lot of space on blahaj to voice those opinions and in my experience not much space to voice critique outside of libertyhub so I’m in favour of banning those comments there in order to elevate opinions that get suppressed elsewhere). It means that mistakes are easily made, and to make it themselves easier the mods there probably ban people for comments that they consider to be in a grey area because it reduces the workload.

Three points:

1. Palestine is not as backwards as Westerners think and just assuming that gay people do not exist there openly without any actual proof is orientalist. I personally know openly queer Palestinians from Gaza.
2. The fact that not all queer people are out openly does not mean they don’t exist and it does not mean that they aren’t being targeted by Israel. IDF soldiers are targeting queer Palestinians and torturing them in heinous ways because they are queer.
3. The point of Israel killing and targeting queer people in their war is made to connect it to the queer struggle as it’s a clear example of intersectionality. Pride is for the queers worldwide, that includes Palestinian queers who are currently struggling the hardest.

Killing and torturing gay and trans Palestinians is more likely the reason why Israel isn’t very popular in the queer community.

That statement doesn’t absolve him from critique.

Mathematics breaks sometimes when a sentence refers to itself (because it can create contradicting paradoxes). That’s why such sentences are not allowed in formal mathematics.

This example isn’t really a contradicting paradox yet though, none of the answers are correct hence the question is unanswerable (a logical possibility for an arbitrary question). Other commenters correctly pointed out that this setup would be more interesting if 0% would be one of the given possibilities, because then the question is no longer logically unanswerable hence it would be a contradicting paradox (assuming the question is unanswerable implies a possible answer and assuming that a specific one of the answers is correct implies that it’s not correct)

Of course middle class people get stolen from, but they often use their job as an excuse not to organise which is lame imo because I know a lot of people who have it worse and put in way more effort in community building

Your posting power is unmatched

A leftist US citizen has no control over the Chinese or Russian government. Excusing your own country’s crimes because other countries do it as well is a wild stance and a disingenuous attempt to distract people from taking action. You are responsible for your own government.
