This may be satire, but the point is it’s ~700 times more likely to happen than a cis man transitioning just so he can go into a women’s bathroom and assault the women in there, which is apparently the existential threat to society that forced us to be so vigilant about who’s using which fucking toilet. Just saying.

Yep - done.

So the answer is not to react? Then they will just continue to do fascist shit. It’s not a win for them if we resist. It’s just not.

So here’s my main critique: tor browsers and getting organised, as you put it, is not an alternative. The only way of organising at scale at the moment is protest. They could be better executed, they could be more effective, they should be refined for sure. But nixing protest because it’s what the enemy expects is like fighting with both arms tied behind your back for fear of damaging your opponent.
They don’t want protests, they’re just expecting them, because it’s all that can be done at scale.
Resistance should include private communication, small operations, protests and everything in between. ALL levers should be pulled, including mass protest.

It always astounds how you manage to do all those gymnastics whilst simultaneously gently licking Bibi’s boot. Fair play.

I think your advice is right, definitely better to settle it with consent if possible

If you’ve got a a key, it’s just E. No B required.

Why not put that on the sign then instead of some vague, unrelated bollocks that doesn’t justify the removal? If that’s the case then I feel the wording on the sign is borderline dishonest.

Nice work! Does the uncertainty come from error bars in the observed trajectory? I would’ve thought an asteroid’s path is pretty easy to pinpoint with enough information.

There’s definitely a paper in this idea

That’s why they stopped at three. The fourth bridge always takes forever to paint.

I think it’s just an assumption based on the mode of society at that time in history. If it was built in the 12th century it was built by what we would now consider slaves. In the 1100s the land was divided into fiefs and the lord of that land considered the people who lived and worked on the land as part of that land: serfs. Unless this bridge was an exception to the rule, then serfs would have undertaken all the labour that got it built.

Well, I can only explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

It seems like you are trying to use statistical trickery to diminish the perception of the wealth gap. Whether this is intentional or not, it will elicit an emotional reaction, because spreading awareness of the wealth gap is arguably the most important work our society has to do. And your core argument, that is easier to understand on a log scale, is flawed. That leaves people with a passion for communicating this issue suspicious of your motives in an anonymous forum where billionaires can easily send people or bots to muddy the waters. We do not need your bad take here. It is actively damaging the cause.
The true nature of the wealth gap is that it is linear. Billionaires don’t work a thousand times harder than the working class, yet they are paid a thousand times more. They can buy 5000 of your dream car. They can but the entire street containing the house you’re desperately saving for, just to keep you out. If I had worked every day since Julius Caesar was in power, earning my annual wage EVERY DAY, I still wouldn’t be as rich as Elon Musk. And I’m a better human being than him. Recording these things linearly exposes the obscenity of the problem, and it also makes sense logically. On top of that is the best way to show people they’re being had.

It’s really not hard to tell the difference between millions and billions. There are multitudinous ways in which that can be achieved, even if you’re explaining to a toddler. Anyone who can understand the concept of a log scales can understand the difference between a million and a billion linearly. How many threads in this carpet? Around a million? Cool. And a billion would be what, an entire city? Cool. Easy.

Yes, log scales are important if you put aside personal wealth, but why would you want to put aside personal wealth when it’s what we’re discussing?

Bernie doesn’t say “eat the rich”, you’re saying that. Bernie makes specific statements about who to tax, and when and how.
He does pay his fair share. If the richest in the US paid tax like he does, there wouldn’t be a problem.

The very fact that there’s an order of magnitude difference is the point of the comparison. There shouldn’t be five orders of magnitude between any two people’s wealth; it’s obscene. Maintaining a linear comparison shows the true nature of the wealth gap.
