Until I guess the mid-2010s there was a really pervasive stereotype of vegans as obnoxious pseudo-religious sticks-in-the-mud.

Most 'modern' Christians are barely even aware of the content of the Bible, and most adherents of all three religions are not acting on those commands anyway. >They self-governed and organically evolved beyond several parts of

Not as weird as this really persistent delusion that Linux is anywhere as user-hostile in 2026 as it was in the early noughts.

You effectively are, none of the groups you listed sprang from the ether, summoned by Islamofascist wizardry, they exist as responses to Israeli conduct in the region, something made structurally possible almost entirely through US patronag

Nowhere near as bad as the question-begging premise your comment leads with.

More like you are ignoring the US' prodigious client in the region running amok.

I was hoping to see discussion of this - to my knowledge it was sold to a few airports who removed it after it was poorly received: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/twentieth-century-mu... Personally 1&#x2F

I find that this is fairly normal for Axios: mechanically, an article will look like a kind of executive summary of a phenomenon or event but editorially it has a very confrontational argumentative style. It's been getting worse in the

I was aware that Aramis and of course the various royals and aristocrats were real, but not the individual soldiers. Loved this novel growing, seems like the Count of Monte Cristo is seen as more 'serious' literature, but the Thre

The only thing that I find AI is consistently excellent at is giving me a snippet to do something particularly esoteric in my shell and parsing out errors from a massive logfile that I would probably have taken an order of magnitude longer

Practically every major company in the LLM space claims to have a core mission of pursuing AGI, just like Keen.

>I didn't do it to make a career, I did it because I believe in the greater ethos of OSS. The greater ethos of OSS, as it is conceived of by most of its practitioners isn't "source availability is the same thing".

This rather implies that simply being elected casts a binding on officials that forces them to pursue popular will with their mandate.

The last article you opined on with this really bizarre line of reasoning was written by a journalist and published in an outlet who have been critiquing all those administrations. You chose to steer the discussion toward political affili

It's a total mystery, dude, why would someone mirror your own behaviour back to you?

Nah, just in the Epstein email drop begging to be included in a child trafficking ring.

That definition of 'human shield' is basically only used in this context by Israel and its advocates. If we adhere to it, the fact that Israel has military installations embedded in residential neighbourhoods ought to qualify, but

But not the video in the OP which demonstrates that the IDF were, in fact firing on aid workers and refugees as they had been accused of, and certainly not the hours of footage of the IDF brazenly taking human shields over the years while i
