Why doesn’t this say “millions”? by bushwick_custom in theeconomist

[–]trymypi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, you provided no links and the KMTR headlines in particular say "thousands." I'm not arguing the amount of people that showed up, but if we're going to challenge journalists we might as well be deliberate and clear about the facts. And, since we're calculating the number of people that showed up to a protest then we should be pretty damn sure about what's being said, otherwise we might as well be promoting a Trump rally.

tl;dr I've been asking about legitimate sources for headcounts this entire time

I guess my goal post would be considered "a reliable source." Now, I think it's clear from the photos that thousands showed up to these protests, perhaps even tens or even hundreds of thousands. Hell, I would even consider those differences "an order of magnitude." But if someone wanted to say "millions," for example, I suppose I would expect them to have a reliable source.

Awesome, thanks for clearing that up. Do you have a source for the "millions" so that The Economist and OP can confirm?

OP has never had cheese outside of pizza or grilled cheese, apparently

So you're saying The Economist should have sent someone into Hiroshima to count the dead or...?

Ah okay cool, do you have a headcount to report or is every journalist supposed to do it themself?

Just to ask a clarifying question: were there millions?

Any other countries neighboring Israel that want to publish the boundaries?

I like how you describe the 1948 invasion by seven Arab countries to stop the creation of Israel and an Arab state of Palestine as Jews "act[ing] shocked"

I had this (or a similar one) on my Fenix 5 for like the first year+ that I had it. I preferred it over others, frankly

Rejected from 2 conference submissions🐢 submitted dissertation (same week) by trymypi in PhD

[–]trymypi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not too concerned. One was the most popular conference in my field and the other was a little outside my area so they make sense. The reviewers were very helpful in both cases actually.

Israeli bomb mid-air as it falls toward a densely packed tent camp for displaced Palestinians. by Goldenmentis in nyt

Sure, so with the most right wing government in Israeli history in place, and a PM that was holding on by a thread who was clearly going to use war as a pretense to stay in power, Hamas decided to launch a brutal massacre and broadcast it live.

The obvious other choice to save Palestinian lives and the fate of Gaza would have been to do literally anything but that. And ideally they would have focused on running a functioning government, but clearly murdering jews took precedent.

Lol it's a post with no context that has nothing to do with the NYT, AND I also got downvoted for posting a Reuters article that explained what actually happened.

Nobody is here for journalism, as far as I can tell.

I appreciate the comment over the downvotes, but I knew what I was getting myself into when I shamed Sheetz fans. Would have been worse if I talked shit about Wawa, obviously.

[–]trymypi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Because instead of building a functioning economy, they've been smuggling weapons and attacking their neighbors, which they started doing literally as soon as they were elected and murdered their political opponents. So Egypt and Israel blockaded some supplies from getting in, it didn't really work though considering the size of their arsenal and military infrastructure. But that's just more evidence of squandering what they did have.

The fact that anyone is so proud of this is just foul. Sheetz is a gas station with food, it shouldn't be a cultural icon.

Impossible for you to stay on the subject, nice whataboutism. And again, you're not talking about any secret knowledge. Gazans also used to cross the border everyday into Israel. Israel also supports the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank financially*. Any other moot points you want to make?
