  • It's surreal humor, a form of humor predicated on deliberate violations of cuasal reasoning, thus producing events and behaviors that are obviosuly illogical. Portrayals of this type of humor tend to involve bizarre juxtapositions, incongruity, non-sequiturs, irrational or absurd situations, and expressions of nonsense.

    No I didn't copy the first two sentences of a Wikipedia article to sound more intelligent, why do you ask?

    Also the Wikipedia article in question uses both the British and American spelling of humor for some reason.

  • "Communists are saying Nazi things"? I'm not sure where I talked about communists besides the opposition to it in Hamas.

    And no, I'm not implying Palestinians are Nazis - I'm responding to the claim that Hamas isn't fascist just because there's more to fascism than antisemitism. Yes, antisemitism does not imply fascism. But antisemitism combined with a few other factors does imply fascism. (And no, fascism does not imply antisemitism).

    And it's certainly not a stretch to claim a subset of a group is fascist. Like this Palestinian on the left (who is also instrumentalized by Israeli fascists to claim all Palestinians are Nazis - which is obviously wrong, but this guy certainly was one):

    Also, just a small definition: I use the terms Nazi and fascist interchangeably, there's not much of a point here to argue semantics.

  • Never said anything positive about Israel, did I? I responded to a comment saying just because Hamas is antisemitic doesn't mean it's fascist. While that's true, Hamas fulfills more hallmarks of fascism than merely antisemitism.

  • This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Oct 9 (Reuters) - A senior said Israel achieved its targets in a phone interview.


    The original article contains 61 words, the summary contains 11 words. Saved 82%. I'm not a bot and I'm closed source!

  • But so is 100°F completely fine with a shirt and shorts and some shade.

    So basically: |0°F| > |100°F|, where | is the mathematical absolute operator.

    0°F is really cold, while 100°F is merely somewhat hot.

  • But but but billionaire nationalist dictator from country opposing "west" = opposing capitalism = supporting (my flavor of) communism good???

    Seriously, how do you even arrive at such conclusions? What would Russia et al need to do to be perceived as worse than "the west"?

  • Pretty much nobody purchases Windows. Microsoft peobably makes all the money from OEM licenses sold to manufacturers and I don't really think there's that much of an increase in sales once they release a new OS.

  • Is that percentage of points or just an arbitrary grade scale?

    Because that's quite funny compared to the (non-US) university I attend where you pass the difficult classes with "just" 33% of points.
