Obama was all into war crimes in the middle east too, so I can’t pretend I’m surprised.

hmmmmmm

all electronics involves soldering, still, duh!

but expecting people - not just many people, but a lot, an enormous number, at least a majority if not an overwhelming majorly - to spontaneous commit to a coordinated action despite widely differing philosophies, politics and life circumstances, is like expecting dissolved sugar to spontaneously re-crystallise back into a cube at the bottom of your cup.

plausible paths to change require organisation, and there are not very many examples of successful organisation that aren’t led from the top.

yodel if

yourself?

I can only assume that’s what I meant to type, so I’ve corrected it. thank you 😆

I’m no fan of hamas, but what Israel is doing is just insane.

not everyone in fucking gaza is a fucking terrorist.

I think a better phrasing I for this question might be, how easily can i put myself in a (fictional) character’s shoes?

using examples from the adjacent reply, it’s obvious Frodo is intending to destroy the ring, is questing to that end. but can you imagine yourself being him, imagine how he feels at a specific moment in the story, discern his deeper, non-explixit motivations, his thoughts or fears?

a marginally more imminent death.

drastic social reform.

… just like everywhere else.

he’s not really one to talk… but he’s also, unfortunately, not wrong.

by focusing on a smaller numerical range, the slope of a linear graph will become steeper. if the graph went from 0 to 420, the entire range of this graph would have to be compressed into about 1/4 the space, so its y range proportional to x will be only 1/4, and since that is what determines the slope, that will be substantially flatter.

I’m not attempting to dismiss or minimise what is shown on the graph, I just think that it needs the added context of what earlier CO2 levels were.

this wasn’t my exact complaint, but it’s similar; the graph starts at 320 and goes up to 420, meaning the slope is intentionally exaggerated. if you want to show us how much worse things have become, give us comparison to earlier CO2 levels, otherwise this just gets dismissed as alarmist propaganda.

have you ever seen those composite images made by combining a huge number of other, radically different images in such a way that each whole image acts like one “pixel” of the overall image? i bet AI models ‘see’ those images very differently than we do.

that’s obviously your call, but if what you were expecting here is something you desire, where else are you going to get that?

(im asking this question genuinely, I’d like to know if there are other alternatives out there.)

i browse nothing but all. I’ve seen maybe a handful of posts that maybe featured a single tankie in the comments.

granted, I’m on kbin. maybe that’s making the difference

even if it did, so what?

oh, saving the planet is too expensive, so we’re just going to let it die to save money

SAND WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR THINKING
THIS IS NOT A NATURAL USE FOR ROCK DUST

I wonder if the verb Google will stay with us when its origin is lost in history

I’ve seen lots of people who say they’re from China, but they all look just like Japanese people, can I really just take them at their word?
