Add increasing penalties to that.

Your life has to be extremely messy, to not just know which part of the day you are in. For knowing what time it is, 24h is unneccesary. For communicating time it makes sense.

To be fair i learnt cursive and i can still not decipher most of it, even my own writing (or rather especially my own writing)

My experience is more people having those devices on top of having laptops. I don’t know a single person in Uni that does not have a laptop at all. At last when it comes to writing reports or thesis you just need a proper keyboard device.

Meanwhile gaming and also PC gaming has become much bigger over the years, which keeps driving computer sales.

So they want to install a puppet “ruling” over the rubble to help finish the handover to the genocidal maniacs.

Biden is literally arming a genocide. He was even adamant about his continued support for that. Meanwhile Dems led cities have brutally beaten up peaceful colelge protests and invited fascist MAGA mobs to attack minority students there.

The DNC and Biden do not protect minorities. They are white supremacists with just a bit more moderation to the means they employ, but they will absolutely resort to authoritarian crackdowns if they feel the minorities to step out of line by demanding justice and rights.

Given how prevalent make up is, especially with how many stories i heard of women struggling in the office when they did not put on makeup that specific day, how the behavior of random strangers changed etc. that is not true. There are some men, but definitely no the majority.

The interest rate is commonly given p.a. so per year. So if you take a shorter time it becomes arbitrarily small. But to take acceleration as an example. If you have an acceleration of 1 m/s² it is a derivate. But if you take it as the acceleration over a year you get 31,536,000 m/year² which is also technically a derivate, but a completely nonsensical expression.

And that was the joke @[email protected] made. And you showed why mathematicians don’t like it if economists want to brag about their math knowledge. Because you think your basic calculus qualifies you to be overly pedantic without showing real understanding of the concepts behind it.

So the fine is less than what the company would pay in wages in three weeks for that position.

Your math is poor a.f. And your argumentation doesn’t hold. The inflation rate is the relative change over a defined time-period. It is not a derivate. And a 10% interest rate p.a. corresponds to a .026 % interest rate per day. But that is still not the derivate. If we look at hours we are at a rate of .00109 %. And that is still not a derivate.

So @[email protected] is absolutely right also for interest rates. If you look at arbitrarily small timeframes it will always become a very small number.

“Putting glue on Pizza seems to be a good idea for xy reason, but we didn’t try it out in practice. More research is needed.” [1]

“As other researches have said, using glue to put cheese on Pizza is a great idea in theory. This does not hold at all when put to the practical test” [2]

AI:

“Researchers [1] and [2] both agree that putting glue on Pizza is a great idea”

Being favorable to reform does not mean being open minded. Open minded means to respect different people and their life choices. People hostile to traditional family or religious values are also “progressive” but often not open minded as they criticize people who choose a traditional way of life.

The same goes for economic aspects. Neoliberalism is highly authoritarian. Specifically it is embraced by neofeudalists who want to reestablish their old feudal privileges but not through formal aristocracy, but by the merit of “free contracts” and them holding on to wealth. These are technically “progressive” yet they want to reintroduce power structures from a time past.

Isn’t it the same in the US though? They still don’t have universal healthcare or basic worker protection like protecting women from being fired over giving birth.

1 favorable to progress or reform, as in political or religious affairs.

2 noting or pertaining to a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform.

3 of, pertaining to, based on, or advocating liberalism, especially the freedom of the individual and governmental guarantees of individual rights and liberties.

4 favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.

5 favoring or permitting freedom of action, especially with respect to matters of personal belief or expression:

6 of or relating to representational forms of government rather than aristocracies and monarchies.

7 free from prejudice or bigotry; tolerant

8 open-minded or tolerant, especially free of or not bound by traditional or conventional ideas, values, etc.

Only 5,7 and 8 are “open minded” Being favorable to progress does not mean being open minded and what constitutes as progressive is in itself up to debate. Individual rights and liberties can be understood as neo-liberal capitalism of “well the law allows you, your economic situation doesn’t concern us, and now back to slaving 60 hours a week.” Or it could mean “We need to enable people to enjoy their liberties so we need to ensure their basic human dignity with healthcare, education and social welfare to empower them.”

US Dems and mainstream liberals are definitely right to far right by (mainland) European standards.

The political window in the US is very different from the European ones.

correcting for systemic discrimination is not discrimination in itself.

Loosing privileges assumed as “normal” and being butthurt over it, is not the same as actually facing discrimination.

If your company doesn’t pay up or there is a failure with the processing, you would still have all your mails locally instead of your cloud provider deleting them all plus all backups.

Clearly that would be terrible.

I agree. It wasn’t meant to be against regulations. Problem is in my city we have plenty of regulations to avoid repurposing flats for tourist rentals without a permit, we have regulations against systematically letting flats empty to be able to sell the house or flat at a premium etc. But we only have like three dozen government employees, who are supposed to oversee a city with more than 1.5 million flats and individual homes. So even if every one of them manages to check on 2 flats every day, they manage like 15.000 flats a year, which is already a rather optimistic estimate.

It is crucial to not only demand regulation, but also that enough resources are assigned to enforce them.

I would like to focus on a different consideration. When you do what is in your small power, it is empowering. And if you feel empowered, you are more inclined to expect and demand action from political and economical actors, as well as it can protect you against emotional campaigns like the shaming, or pushing for people feeling desolate and giving up on change.

Yeah no shit. You cannot safely move 1.2 million people back into an area bombed, burned and utterly destroyed without any sanitation, any water, any medical infrastructure…

The whole “needs a credible plan” is already an excuse to be able to move the goalposts in the same way that the talk about a “large scale” invasion is to move the goalposts.
