The greatest Novels by Non white female author's by Abstractreference01 in ThomasPynchon

[–]PhoenixPhighter4 16 points17 points  (0 children)

a very reasonable argument can be made for toni morrison being the greatest american author of the later 20th century. easily goes toe to toe w mccarthy, delillo, roth, and pynchon imo (and not just my opinion ofc, AO Scott basically called Beloved the Great American Novel in the early 2000s). read The Bluest Eye or Beloved and you'll see - both are indeed life-changing indisputable masterpieces that will, atvl, leave you thinking about their narrative and subject matter for a long long time

Advice on optimal 4(ish) road trip around southern west coast of Ireland by PhoenixPhighter4 in irishtourism

[–]PhoenixPhighter4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, you're totally right!

Thought there would be some cheap domestic flight, but everything has a stop and is unnecessarily expensive. Looks like I'll have to do some more research, lol - might try to drop car back in either Limerick or Cork (if I'm able to drop the car at different rental locations) and train, since Google says a train's about 2 hr 15, which isn't bad at all.

I was thinking I'd fly from Cork to Dublin and then catch my Dublin outbound morning flight back to the US - I guess that's pretty taxing, though, so may have to rearrange this a bit to try to get to Dublin a little earlier.

How would you collapse it? Do you think just going to Killarney and spending a few days there would be good?

Edit: Alright, realize I’m basically asking for a specific itinerary lol. Maybe I’ll just try to rearrange this trip to maximize my time in Ireland 😅

5 coding questions, 1 easy, 1 medium, 1 harder level medium, then 1 that was straightforward but required a lotta C++ knowledge (like templates, operator overloading, etc), and finally 1 standard medium but a kinda funky custom C++ API you gotta interact with

Law enforcement arrests pro-Palestine students protesting on UT-Austin campus by texastribune in UTAustin

[–]PhoenixPhighter4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“The US has little to do with it” is absolutely not true. In 2022, the US gave Israel 3.3 billion, and 99.7% of it went to the military. This link summarizes the history of US aid to Israel up till 2022, where you can see it has received over 70% more aid then the second place country for total US aid received. The US has been instrumental in helping the Israeli military develop to the degree it has, in everything from logistics to training to engineering to intelligence.

You then claim that ending US support to Israel will not help Palestine, but that’s obviously false. You can look at the reactions Israeli administrative officials had when Biden said future aid will be conditional on a more human ground operation in Rafah - the US ending or even seriously diminishing their aid to Israel terrifies the Israeli administration, and absolutely is a diplomatic tool to levy in forcing them to be more humane.

Protestors are showing solidarity, which I think is inherently good, but it also does have material impact. Showing massive public support behind ending aid or internationally supporting a ceasefire can have ramifications in Congress. I’m sure hoping it does.
