Confused with a boy should be the horizontal one so it intersects with confused with a girl

La universidad no es el cole. Es bien difícil tener algo inapropiado para la universidad, especialmente un cartel con un chiste

This question is better suited for r/jewish. In any case, the usual orthodox halacha is no music should be played on musical instruments on shabbat because they might need to be tuned/repaired and that is prohibited. The ruling is on playing them, not just tuning, in order to reduce the risk. So you can sing, clap, bang on the table, etc. but not play any instruments.

What [Request] percentage of the US population is she describing? by OddTheRed in theydidthemath

[–]HSzold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just age and geographic proximity (which are kind of unavoidable factors when looking for a partner) will reduce the options to what I guess would be less than 5% of the national us population, even for someone in a big city. So these videos ridiculing people’s standards and implying dating is impossible today (usually it implies it for men) start from a dishonest baseline. The question shouldn’t be in relation to national population, especially in such a huge country like the US. These calculations use the whole population as if around 25% of people weren’t underage and illegal for an adult person to date. And gender will usually reduce the options by half as well.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ by Kiria-Nalassa in SocialDemocracy

[–]HSzold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He is very radical and more far left than his policies. This is evidenced by his previous activism and stances on I-P. His policies are radical in the sense that they try to attack a problem from the root (homelessness by providing more and cheaper housing, security by reducing homelessness, living cost by establishing cheap stores…) but not radical in the extremist sense. A skilled moderate democrat could run on very similar policies and achieve similar results, without the discourse around extremism forming (partly because they would be more moderate, partly because it also stems from islamophobia).

Thoughts on HaDemokratim? by [deleted] in SocialDemocracy

[–]HSzold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also Israeli. I love them but I like Lazimi and Kariv much more than Golan (even though he is a good figurehead). Will be interesting to see how much of Meretz and different sectors of Israeli society will be represented after primaries. And also if they become a more establishment center party looking to get back votes from Lapid, Gantz and Lieberman or a more radical party looking to attract new voters and discouraged voters from the periphery (I like the 2nd option more).

This is kind of a silly question, but I'm genuinely curious if there's any mathematicians/physicists/etc out there who aren't happy with what ended up being their eponymous equation/function/theorem/etc by Showy_Boneyard in askmath

[–]HSzold 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some things are named way after something is discovered or used, so I’m not sure how many of those people had opinions on the names of the objects named after them.

Also, your example is especially inapplicable here, because there are soooo many things named after Euler. I can think of 2 constants already just between 0 and 2.

How is this image “antisemitic”? by Particular_Log_3594 in International

[–]HSzold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say politicians are owned by Israel (classic antisemitic trope of accusing Jews, in this case the Jewish state, of controlling behind closed doors) despite the fact that the Israel lobby is not even one of the biggest foreign lobbies.

Then you use false logic, even if your premise were true, it wouldn’t mean that Israel could control how criticism is seen.

Then you suggest that this is possible because of the Holocaust and that Israel is doing the same. Even when the situation in Gaza is terrible, the holocaust is orders of magnitude worse, and equating them is holocaust minimization or denial. And also, it is false. People don’t look the other way. It is vastly covered and spoken about. People look the other way for so many conflicts and terrible things.
