Are technical/scientific books from pre-1925 particularly useful for self-learning today? I'd imagine for most disciplines, the knowledge has progressed and possibly changed course since then and it may be more outdated than not.

What is the point of this comment? Are you saying that deflock are not terrorists but are terrorist adjacent? Why respond to someone defining terrorism by pointing out that 2 words at the end of the definition also apply to deflock? Do thos

You may not have seen it, but are you familiar with the financials of it? I don't care about the quality of the movie or feeling superior to the viewers who enjoy it. I hate the openly corrupt bribery via the pay she received for this

And every private channel as well. And if you rename the Team, the SharePoint will become out-of-sync and all URLs will still use the old Team name.

Your claim is "I would have though[t] verified audience was the more reliable indicator." That claim is incorrect because it takes in to account only one very small segment of the people who saw the movie (only US, Fandango-based,

Goalposts successfully moved. Good work. You can't claim it's 99% audience approved, then say "[only the American] audience [who purchased tickets via Fandango]". If you include the full audience, it has a 28% approval w

A million times this. I was so frustrated with how slow and ad-laden the default Shield launcher was. When I got it, it had no ads and was really snappy. Changing over to Projectivy (or any custom launcher really) fixed so many issues and m

It's not bad because the Nazis did it. It's bad because it can be abused, and we can point to a historical example in the Nazis. If the Nazis had not done it, it would not be used as an example, but it would still be a negative

Sometimes what you choose to show, even if true, can impact how people see a situation or fact. That is what the OP is referring to. Your quote even mentions that propaganda can be made of "facts" and "half-truths" (a ha

No, calling things/people/ideas communist is still 100% in play by the Republican party. McCarthy-ism is in full swing, and they've even added "antisemite" as another hot label they can throw on people to tarnish th

What? I just said no. Let me put it more plainly: I do not think there should be a mechanism for the federal government to cancel or delay elections due to war or civil unrest. Why are you ignoring my question, asking another one, then igno

Even worse, the subreddit they are using as their example of common "conservative thought" is a subreddit where only verified Conservative users can post, and any dissenting opinion is met with bans and post deletion. You have to

The allowing of cancelling or delaying elections due to war or civil unrest? No.

Is there any mechanism already where a war or active civil unrest causes a delay in elections in America? I've read that America has no such provision in our election laws to delay/cancel an election like that.

Feels like everyone completely forgot about this. The White House made a big stink about AI deepfakes in their first couple of months and then proceeds to publish them at blinding speed. No hint of irony or self-awareness.

Dude... look at your post history and tell me you don't engage in the worst kind of political rhetoric here. You are obsessed with "leftists" and your comment history shows it.
