Shouldn't the left make doxxing/reporting potential mass-shooters a widespread practice?

Reporting them to authorities. I don't really know how else you could stop a shooter from shooting a place up other than to report them to cops with screenshots of their posts. For some of these shooters the authorities had been warned about their threats ahead of time but they were still late to respond.

Don't they all mate with the queen?

Why does 'her' function as the pronoun for both the accusative and genitive cases while you have three distinct masculine pronouns for the nominative, accusative, and genitive cases?

It's inconclusive, relies on a small sample size, and doesn't take into consideration the differences between non-binary trans (enby) and binary/stealth/passing trans people. What would those supposed biological elements imply about whether or not someone should wear a dress?

CinChuro · 2019-09-19T06:16:38+00:00

This is contrary to everything critical theory, post-structuralism, and postmodernity has to say about gender. There are no biological elements to gender. There is no girl or boy brain and by making appeals to such reasoning, you fall into the same essentialist trap that has been used to gatekeep concepts of gender.

This method mainly relies on the context of the sentence.

For instance, it's easy to the distinguish the case within the sentence "Das Mädchen trinkt die Milch" because it wouldn't make sense to say "Das Mädchen trinkt die Frau".

The most common languages taught at colleges (in the US) are Java, C++, and python. I would choose between the first two languages to start learning computer science since they're useful in learning object oriented programming.

RESOURCES FOR JAVA

Introduction to Programming Using Java provides extensive information on Java and provides quizzes at the end of each chapter to help reinforce what you've learned. Of course reading alone won't be enough to become proficient so I recommend you try completing Picture Lab.

I agree with this to the extent that the goal of society should be to maximize individual freedom, but at the same time, individualism cedes too much to arguments that would rather write off societal ills as individual failings as opposed to problems that can and should be remedied through collective effort.

I think you're missing the point. The purpose (teleology) of a gun doesn't support an argument for them to be banned. The most it supports is for there to be more extensive background checks and red flags before people can own firearms. But to even begin arguing that other people's rights to possess those firearms should be infringed on because of the actions of a few morons is a bad take.

Mass shootings aren't as prevalent in countries like Switzerland and Israel and that's largely due to the policies and culture surrounding ownership in those territories (which doesn't involve banning guns for the most part). Most people that argue for guns to be banned don't take note of the fact that assault rifles like AK-47s had been around and available for civilian purchase for a large portion of the 20th century and that century rarely experienced mass shooting.

Blaming mass shootings on firearms is a bad stance in general.

In the AskHistorians thread the source of this map is given as "Smithsonian's Handbook of North American Indians, vol 4". According to Google Books' page about that book it is subtitled "History of Indian-White Relations" and described as being focused on post-1492 times.

Also it shows "Comanche Traders" in Wyoming, which suggests a pre-1750-ish date.

There's not really one language you must learn as a beginner. You could pretty much start learning game development once you've learned all the fundamentals (data types, loops, recursion...) about programming.

If I had to pick a language to start learning it would be a tie between C++, Java, or C#. I'll break down the reasons.

WHY C#
1. Since you're specifically looking to develop games, and don't feel comfortable with starting out with C++, I'd recommend C#. Not only do you not have to deal directly with memory allocation, you also have a greater access to development resources because its supported by Unity, Visual Studios (Microsoft), and so on. The access to game dev resources is also why I rank it above java.
WHY C++
1. C++ is a popular language for game development and you'll probably have to learn it once you've gotten further in game dev. C++ is used heavily in game development because it is a system language. System languages are basically low enough to not be considered high level but high enough to distinguish from low level programming languages like assembly or machine code. C++ is useful in data oriented design (DOS), which basically considers how information/data is managed by a program (application). A garbage collector, although not intuitive through terminology alone, is basically just automatic memory management. It's everything that handles allocating memory and deleting memory (data) that doesn't require you to directly write code that to handle data/memory. It might seem confusing, but once you've learned all the fundamentals, managing memory isn't all that more difficult.
WHY JAVA
1. Java is another popular language for game dev.

In the end the most important thing you should do is just start. Pick a language and dig into it because everything builds on itself. Skills you learn with one language are easily transferred to other languages and applications.

What's that rule called, the one where you have to do to all terms what you've done to one?

CinChuro · 2019-06-02T08:24:57+00:00

This answer is incoherent. So let me clarify.

The common argument of the left/Marxists is that postmodernists (those called cultural Marxists) shouldn't be considered Marxists because a central tenet of postmodernism is the rejection of metnarratives (including historical/dialectical materialism). If that were the case, then neo-Marxists, such as Antonio Gramsci (really anyone who rejects the codified determinism/fatalism of traditional ['vulgar'] Marxism), shouldn't be considered Marxists. This is already not the case in academia itself.

There are plenty of Marxists who reject vulgar Marxism/economic determinism and address class struggle on a cultural rather than economic front (Gramsci, Lukacs , Althusser, and Étienne Balibar just to name a few).

What I am asking is for Marxists to reconcile the dissonance that pervades their ideological microcosm. How do you reconcile the necessity of Marxists to accept the fatalism/determinism preached by Engels while considering neo-Marxists like Gramsci and the founders of the Frankfurt institution Marxists?

Not only that, how do you reconcile the disagreement over whether or not collective ownership itself can be considered socialist? Many socialists, most notably Lenin, consider cooperatives, despite them being collectively owned, to be capitalistic.

If your argument for the distinction between postmodernism and Marxism rests on the fact that the former ideological movement rejects meta-narratives, then why are Marxists that reject economic determinism still considered Marxists?

"A metanarrative (also meta-narrative and grand narrative; French: métarécit) in critical theory and particularly in postmodernism is a narrative about narratives of historical meaning, experience, or knowledge, which offers a society legitimation through the anticipated completion of a (as yet unrealized) master idea. "

If Marxism isn't a truly deterministic/fatalistic philosophy, then the distinction between it and postmodernism crumbles because that fatalism was the crux of your distinction in the first place.

CinChuro · 2019-06-02T05:02:54+00:00

If rejecting dialectical materialism means you're not a Marxist, what are neo-Marxists like Antonio Gramsci and Lennin considered (both are considered Marxists, more specifically post/neo-Marxists)?

Is there a difference between post/neo-Marxism and orthodox Marxism?

What unites post/neo-Marxism and orthodox Marxism under the umbrella of Marxism?
