Prairie dogs are another example that likely goes against your understanding. They also serve as an example of how we might miss complex communication in other species: researchers had to slow down their chirps and calls in order to find th

I would question if that has changed in a significant way since. I also don't know that a single anecdote suffices. I've seen enough just on this site to be confident in my wager. You're going to find more tech workers who ar

I actually tend to agree. Characterizing it as a terrorist attack was a mea culpa; it is absolutely better categorized as a counterattck/insurgency against an occupying force.

No, we cannot agree to disagree. 3 of your 4 statements are verifiably false. Notably, 33000 dead over 6 months is roughly a 9/11 every 2.5 weeks (if you're going to say, "I said 2 weeks," I said 2.5 weeks). You are wron

Your opinion is incorrect and concerning in its confidence. Oct. 7th has been characterized as Israel's 9/11 (with, frankly, fewer deaths). Meanwhile, Israel has perpetrated a 9/11 roughly every 2.5 weeks for the past 6 month

I think it's funny that you think that tech workers would protest police brutality against black men, let alone in such a way that would put their jobs on the line.

She's saying that the alleged Oct. 7th rapes (or at least their characterization as widespread) are a hoax, echoing previous hoaxes. Without wading in too deeply, I do think that the fog of war makes conclusions difficult, and an inves

That's begging the question, unless you have evidence that they did something else that falls under defacing or vandalism.

No, I do think this is still an example of disordered expectations. What you're pointing out doesn't strike that notion as valid; it expands it from "an expectation of a response to an entirely different question, " to,
