If I wanted to avoid escalation by militant Islam in the #middleeast, I wouldn’t start by making a quarter million able-bodied men homeless & motherless with nothing to lose.
@thetechtutor And like clockwork, here comes the: ”I have the facts around here” claim of authority, and linking of documents that point out exactly the same numbers and same process.
This and many others like you, have led me to the conclusion that blindness to the facts right in front of you is the real issue.
Go ahead, pick the facts, ignore the Nakba, ignore the surging of far right in Israeli politics.
It’s the increase of Israel that remains the problem, not the existence of it.
In a groundbreaking study from 2017, Chatard et al found social comparison to be subliminal.
In the study women were shown images of thin women or heavy women at sub-conscious threshold viewing times of less than 20 milliseconds.
Even when they consciously didn’t register seeing them and weren’t able to make the comparison, the study found feeling good or bad about their bodies still consistently affected.
It means we can’t educate ourselves away from this.
We can of course alleviate some of the problems that follow, and we should. Social media provides way too many supermodel-shapes to push those buttons teenagers still don’t know how to react to.
And it is important for educators also to try and not ”talk some sense into the kids”, but promote healthy reactions to the inevitable.
@gimulnautti nautin tässä siitä että Terveystalo on just käynnistänyt kalliin imagokampanjan (Mehiläinen teki ensin joten varmaan FOMO iski ja piti saada vastaava). Niin toimari tai kukalie voi nyt katsoa näiden miljoonien valuvan roskiin tämän ansiosta
I guess I’ll start preparing for a Trump victory. Not because I think the donald is doing good, but because what Biden is saying about #israel may cost him the election.
This latest dismissal of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in particular.
Liberals understand the importance of #ruleoflaw. And undermining that just out of hand with broad strokes and bravado.. Is just digging dirt from under everyone’s feet.
I mean ”Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the results” has never been clearer.
I bet even now at least ten thousand 12-year old kids are studying their retention metrics underneath the blanket, hiding from their parents, trying to figure out how to squueze out an extra second from their next content.
@gimulnautti I feel that you're assuming a lot, essentially you're projecting your own imagination on an organization, a group of people functioning to solve complicated questions regarding risk and knowledge at the limit of normal engineering. This group of people is a poor surface for your psychological projection. A certain mogul maybe is a better surface but that doesn't remove the reality of engineering. That's why your post should tell anyone more about your believes than about SpaceX.
@gimulnautti ok fedboy. Anything that circumvents bureaucracy, circumvents the dozens of unnecessary federal intelligence agencies, circumvents asinine federal laws that do nothing but hinder human progress is alright in my book, and an AI I personally would consider a friend.
Edelleen on kyllä aika lähellä 100% mahikset, että jos vanhempaa väkeä on paikalla ja tulet sähköautolla, niin joku sieltä avaa suunsa että: "Tiedätkö että toi sun #sahkoauto sitä ja tätä?"
Ja siitä keskustelusta ei pääse eroon ennenkuin ne on todistaneet että niiden 6000 romu on ekologisempi kuin mun 60000 sähkövatkain. Ihan sama mitä sanoo "faktoja" vastaan jotka on yleensä väärin.
Oon vaan ruvennu sanoo että: "Inhoan kovia ääniä ja tää on hiljainen", että pääsee vaihtaa aihetta.
@gimulnautti En tiedä / ei haittaa on usein validi vastaus.
Akun valmistus: Ei se mitään, ostin sen koska tykkään siitä, eikä ympäristön takia.
Miten pitkälle pääsee?
En tiedä, ollaan ainakin käyty Saksassa sillä. Päivässä pääsi Tukholmasta Aalborgiin.
Ei vaan miten pitkälle akullisella?
En tiedä, kun lapset huutaa taukoa ennen kuin akku on tyhjä.
Kauanko pitää ladata?
En tiedä, kun se on valmis ennen kuin lapset ovat syöneet lounaansa/jäätelönsä.
@gimulnautti Kukaan ei muuten ole niin ympäristötietoinen kuin vanhempi, polttomoottoriautolla ajava mies, joka on huolissaan akuissa käytetyistä mineraaleista.
#Russia is now at peak #military-industrial capacity, practically zero unemployment, pay hikes because not enough labour force to man the weapons factories. 35% of government spending go to military. 7.1% of GDP. All of it to go up in smoke in #Ukraine
However, if we look at the numbers, this output only matches current EU military spending. Countries which are on avg spending less than 2% on it currently.
Tell me again how Ukraine supported only by Europe can’t possibly win?
The one's saying it will cost too much, are just repeating Kremlin disinformation.
EU countries and the US are more than happy to make money by churning out weapons. Russia is not known for great manufacturing power - they make their money from shipping energy and raw materials, not finished complex goods
@gimulnautti I'm kind of systematic when I get myself into it. I may probably start The Expanse a fourth time soon (that is, as soon as I've finished everything by Peter Watts, which I recently discovered)
Other triplicates are Foundation, the Robots and Cordwainer Smith.
