the $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 from google should be rolling in any day now

the leopards do not eat because they are hungry. they eat because they can.

i think the best-case scenario from all of this is that trump decides to continue supporting ukraine just to spite putin. i dont even want to think about what the worst-case scenario might be

no thank you, i get all my deals from quick deals thank you very much

did you read the article?

British Wikipedian, Stuart Marshall, made the final ruling in September, decisively supporting the article’s inclusion. “Based on the strength of the arguments … and it’s not close … I discarded the argument that scholars haven’t reached a conclusion on whether the Gaza genocide is really taking place”, Marshall wrote in his decision. “The matter remains contested, but there’s a metric truckload of scholarly sources linked in this discussion that show a clear predominance of academics who say that it is.”

Marshall concluded his ruling with the straightforward statement: “We follow the scholars.”

On its “Gaza genocide” page, it states that “Experts, governments, United Nations agencies, and non-governmental organisations have accused Israel of carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people during its invasion and bombing of the Gaza Strip in the ongoing Israel–Hamas war.”

whoa now that is a crazy coincidence

not sure who’s listening to this, but i thought i’d throw my hat in the ring. i can also burn all my money extremely quickly, if desirable.

aren’t ironclads a type of ship in civ6? is this a civ6 reference?

i would disagree that math problems only have one strategy for getting to the answer. there are many things, particularly in more abstract math, which can be understood in multiple different ways. the first example that comes to mind is the fundamental theorem of algebra. you can prove it using complex analysis, algebraic topology, or abstract algebra. all the proofs are quite different and rely on deep results from different fields of math.

i think the same thing holds in the less abstract areas of math, it’s just that people are often only taught one strategy for solving a problem and so they believe that’s all there is.

i take comfort in knowing that most of the time it’s going to be sarcasm, since (in my experience) there are very few trump supporters on lemmy. and the few trump supporters that i’ve seen don’t tend to last.

crazy to think that trump might do exactly what he said he was going to do. how could we, the voters, have predicted this?

what was that? like $4?

i would imagine it is. they fought very hard for it

no it does not. it’s basically just a poll to see what other countries think. at least, that’s my understanding based on what i’ve read.

it’s very telling that being pro palestine is immediately interpreted as being “anti israel”

disposable vapes come with built in lithium batteries, while (most) disposable lighters don’t. so there is a very real difference between the two. but disposal lighters are also stupidly wasteful, so it would be nice to ban those as well.

what are the differences between a rare covid test and an uncommon covid test?

that quote you gave was taken entirely out of context. here’s the very next sentence:

In presenting our findings, we argue that a comprehensive look at sexual victimization, which includes male perpetration and adds female perpetration, is consistent with feminist principles in important ways.

does this mean the twitter brand is up for grabs? anyone can start up a new website at twitter dot com? musk’s letting go of it completely?

that’s not really a problem if the judge simply changes their name
