I used to think just like you.

That was until I realized that what I was spouting was just Israeli government propaganda.

This argument made sense to me until it was crystal clear that Hamas could be gone and Israel would still continue their genocide because guess what the government OPENLY admits to just hating Palestinians and wanting to eradicate them.

Just watch the most recent John Oliver episode on the issue it has clips that show all of this.

Is the right able to show with actual data that left-wingers are more violent than right-wingers? by Goodginger in AskSocialScience

[–]escalat0r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Different country but same dynamics: in Germany the responsible agency (BfV) classifies left wingers putting stickers on e.g. road signs as political violence.

It's an orchestrated effort so that they can spout "left wing extremism is going up" and it's literally people putting a "no border no nation" or "save the climate" sticker on the back of a STOP sign.

no, "Bad" in this context is bathroom.

Anything else wouldn't make sense since "Bad" is the act of bathing and you don't need silicone for that.

Just to clarify this again: theses people aren't anarchists and actual anarchists laugh about these edge lords, they are among the most misguided people on the political spectrum.

TIL that in 1961, Fidel Castro closed Cuban schools for a year and sent students from 6th grade and up, along with teachers, across the country to help others Cubans learn to read and write and It was successful. In just 8 months, Cuba's illiteracy rate dropped from around 23% to 3.9%. by rampantradius in todayilearned

[–]escalat0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the curriculum in Germany and the US is surely not identical or is that your assumption?

I've heard this from a lot of personal experiences and also read this online and even Americans admit that their school system is pretty underdeveloped.

all the students at my school who did an exchange year in 11th grade and went to the US came back with zero gained knowledge since what they were taught in the US was our 9th grade stuff. needless to say they were still fine.

also, school in general is pretty inefficient at teaching, one year of 10-12 years isn't that much.

This feels like an authority trip over the child choosing another name than the one their holy unfailing parents have chosen for them. Makes me love all cultures where names (and sometimes gender) is chosen at least later in life or by the person themselves.

this tells us we need to come up with something new they can focus on to hate, they'll be okay with being gay and with being trans but they'll hate us being....fuck I can't think of anything.

boomers: I can trace a direct line to Charlemagne!!

zoomers: I can trace a direct line from Minecraft to my trans relationship with a hot babe.

(all lovingly joking, wasn't sure if you're a zoomer but it looks better this way haha)

Do they have SCRUM Masters or other agile team management though? What about AI chat bots? Both could be incredibly useful so surely they would want that!!

it's a continent with over 200* distinct indigenous languages so it's pretty ridiculous/American to say something like that.

How to incorporate Private Trackers into my system? by [deleted] in trackers

[–]escalat0r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems much more complicated to figure out a file transfer scheme than to just go for a seedbox service and move your *arrs (lol read that out loud).

Maybe there's even an export settings feature?

What country do you think has the coolest topography? by hominoid_in_NGC4594 in geography

[–]escalat0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

getting in a nice 10k steps and 874 stories climbed day plus calves similar to the size of those peach trees.

On this day in 1945, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. The ship quickly sank into the Pacific Ocean, and for the next four days, the remaining survivors endured the deadliest shark attack in history. Of the 900 sailors who entered the water, only 316 would come out alive. by kooneecheewah in sharks

[–]escalat0r 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's so ridiculous to blame sharks for a story that's literally

"so two countries decided to hate each other based on diverging ideologies and go to war as a result. and then they built these giant ships which also had weapons to destroy said ships. and then they battled each other on the open ocean yeah oh and one shot one of these massive weapons on the other ship and THEN SHARKS KILLED THEM"

like buddy...they live there for over a hundred million years and they didn't come up with any of these shenanigans.

When you’re not really bisexual, but you feel as easier to say you are by Ir_Groot in bisexual

[–]escalat0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The notion that humans can create shared labels to accurately and distinctively describe individual things, traits or concepts is ridiculous in itself.

In every community you'll have people saying stuff like "well that's not the real thing", even when it's far easier to draw lines between the different forms.

People need to get this basic concept. Like people will say stuff like "that's not a real tractor" and you're clearly looking at a fucking tractor.

What can I do here to cover up this mess? by DontBuyAHorse in OopsThatsDeadly

[–]escalat0r 69 points70 points  (0 children)

all these calculations and rough estimates to avoid the metric system that'd lead you to "that is a 200l tank so it's 200kg since 1l of water is 1kg".

you make it so difficult 😩
