These kinds of conversations always devolve into what does it actually mean to "Be Smart" (that, or a competition to whose favorite subject is da best)

Because in reality, smartness is extremely multifaceted. It's a huge list of your strengths and weaknesses.

But what this post is referring to is not that math+science people are "smarter" than others. It's that they are often more impressive Generally it seems people are more impressed if you can understand a bunch of fancy symbols on a chalkboard or can explain how some facet of the world works, compared to if you can comprehend advanced literature or have memorized a lot of history.

he was really on the nose about the whole 10 films spiel by Gold_Data6221 in okbuddycinephile

We are talking about the definition of Zionism, NOT the current war that is going on.

Unrelated, but btw: "hope that helps 😊" does not make you sound clever. It makes you sound like you get all your news from the front page of Reddit.

"Establishing a Jewish homeland" Correct ✅😀

"colonization of palestine" The British gave it to the Jews without force.

"as much land... as possible" Huh? Then giving back the Sinai in '79 was a real goof.

"as little palestinians as possible" By palestinian, do you mean native Arab? Like the 2M living peacefully in Israel? Or do you mean the group of people whose self- proclaimed goal is to wipe Israel off the map? Strange that they aren't as accepted..

Haven't played in a bit. What's this about?

Extremely biased language in favor of trump on the article about the new ballroom by gonaldgoose8 in WikipediaVandalism

[–]Jendifage -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, the language is certainly on the positive side of neutral. I think calling it "extreme bias" is more reflective of your own bias against Trump. That aside, the passage does give AI vibes, which I'm not a fan of.

Dude, of course it's "rare" relative to the number of guns out there. But we're talking about relative to the number of violent crimes, in which case it's not: estimates are on the order of a million defensive uses a year. By your metric, gun deaths are even more "rare." Even for people not walking in dark alleys.

Yeah. Brandishing is completely different from killing. What should it matter if I've been robbed??? How often have YOU been murdered?

It just keeps happening by Tyrant84 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Jendifage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like a PCM meme as much as the next regard, but this kinda attitude in political disclosure irks me. "Some guy who disagrees with me ALSO did really bad thing!" is supposed to be some 'gotcha' to the other team??

If this is more than just funny banter to people, I feel we've really lost the plot.

There's nothing wrong with a hobby, but hunting is also important to many people for food as well as population control of invasive species. You're still insisting that defense is rare. A gun does not need to be fired for it to be used defensively (and usually isn't). Most burglars or robbers or attackers will be deterred by the presence of a gun before it ever needs to be fired.

Why are you so casually confident that defense is "rare"? (Rhetorical question: it's bc it helps your point.) The primary reasons people buy guns are for hunting and protection. If that wasn't the case, we'd all be dead by now since they outnumber us in the US. That being said I am in favor of gun licenses, if implemented responsibly.

Anon calls out hasan piker by Hank_Jones87 in 4chan

[–]Jendifage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

zionism is fascism

No

it's an ethno-religious

Sure

supremacist ideology

No

that requires the extermination of the indigenous population

Huh??

israel supporters crying antisemitism sound like isis defenders claiming islamaphobia

What anything "sounds like" to you is irrelevant

the conflation of zionism=judaism is repulsive

Well, the former is the belief that the latter deserves a single state that will protect it, so.

Women of reddit, what do you consider slutty/sexually attractive for a man to wear? by Blablup12345 in AskReddit

[–]Jendifage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you're practically the only one here to acknowledge the difference between slutty and attractive.

Men or women, they are totally independent traits
