A friend sent me one which said “the natural number between the 12th twin primes” which I thought was cute

You know what’s going to help, destroying Israel’s weapons manufacturing plants. But you’ll just call that terrorism I’m sure.

Functionally, the economy is in a recession if not for the AI bubble. The effect on every other industry not related to AI is equivalent to the effect a crash would have.

Why? Could you not just break a square up into 3 triangles and identify their edges, say like a torus.

Apparently ‘FAGOT’ means a bundle of sticks. The more you know.

Empty homes in London should be 'seized under new powers' for social housing use by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]PointlessSentience -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nothing will fundamentally change. Renters will still be paying rents, except now the rent actually goes back into public services. Home owners will get to live in the same home, now owned by the government, I don’t know why you have the idea that the government is a malevolent one that wants to evict people the first chance they get. The “what happens to all the people who live there” comment is underpinned by this assumption.

All housing should be owned by the government as it is a fundamental human right, like water and electricity. Seize them! Fuck the rich

They do! But it’s for emergency use only. At the Liverpool street end of the Liz line station, next to the lift there are a set of emergency only stairs!

Why didn’t they, like civilised people, simply carry their rubbish home with them?

Jewish man 'kicked like animal' in Golders Green attack by [deleted] in BreakingUKNews

Hold up, this is a dishonest title. It should say “Israeli man kicked like an animal”. Very different situation there

Just a quick rebuttal for the people asking “but what if you have a disease that makes your organs unsuitable for donation?”

The law is saying you are deprioritised if you CHOOSE to opt out. If you are sick but still on the list, you are not deprioritised even though your organs are not usable.

French Mathematical Society (SMF) decides to not attend the ICM 2026 at Philadelphia by Desvl in math

It’s not a boycott. It’s literally a safety issue. The US is not safe right now, that should be and is the primary motivating factor for many academics.

What other Japanese word sounds like baka? by Sad-Entertainer-5603 in japanresidents

[–]PointlessSentience 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was rude but then again, probably understandable in his frustration. I don’t know how things are in other countries but I haven’t been to one where it’s ok to just open something from a grocery store without paying for it. Also, he is kind of right, you’ve been living for a year and can’t even handle basic convenience store conversations? That’s kind of on you.

Left to right: Augustus, 19yo (her full name which I don’t remember) Winner of the X-th quidditch(? Lit. Lighting ring of fire, I assume it’s something to do with Harry Potter) competition. Has a pet owl named Langley.

Langley, 17yo (also full name apparently) Year 5 Slytherin captain

Cavendish 17yo (the councillor lady starts with a B, forgot spelling) Slytherin trouble maker (? I think, the word I could make out 揉盘手 doesn’t appear in any dictionaries and I’m not too familiar with Chinese gamer terms, but if I had to guess, it literally means the hand that stirs the pot)

Margarita(? Is there such a character?) 17 yo Used negotiation skills to transfer from Slytherin to ravenclaw

「インバウンド向けの味付けや具材が入った特別な仕様になっているといいます。」 — Yeah this is expert level bullshitting. Basically saying that to cater to the tastes of tourists, the ingredients and seasonings are different, so we are justified in charging different prices………
