That highlights the point precisely. Ukraine is targeting Russian troops, i.e. legitimate military targets. Hamas targets civilians and uses civilians as human shields. The IDF doesnt care how many civilians they have to go through to get to Hamas.

Ohhh I see! Fiverr editor? Use cgatGPT to suggest edits? I’ve had some success using chatGPT as an informal editor for a few chunks of text

You need an editor!

“You like to watch actors act, why don’t you go act.” Or more generally “You like to watch X performer perform Y, why don’t you go perform Y.”

Spectating and performing are two categorically different activities.

Or simply “Don’t yuck my yum, asshole.”

Right… And the suggestion in OP is for someone to create an efficient tool supporting life-long learning. One doesn’t imply lack of active learning in the other. So get of your condescending high horse.

Curious how you would go about this process of creating a list of your own knowledge that is outdated.

You don’t need to be a therapist or psychologist to not shoot someone having a mental health crisis

This framing makes it seem like Biden is going against the majority congressional sentiment, but he is not. The US congress, overall, is supportive of sending military support to Israel, as evidenced by their passing bills other aid bills, which is a slower process.

How would you describe the media is treating it and how should the media be treating presidents who share such imagery regardless of party?

I think it’s one thing for a private citizen to do this, but it would be another thing for a sitting/former president running for election to do the same

That’s kinda like complaining about how nobody talks about how airlines keep planes flying and landing successfully, how the media only focuses on planes crashing and accidents. “Sure, this one airline covered up poor maintenance practices leading to deaths, but what about all the passengers airlines help everyday?”

Imagine airlines get to investigate themselves instead of the FAA and how it would go over when they find they did nothing wrong every time.

I think people get too hung up on the question of genocidal intent in this conflict. That’s not to dismiss the importance of the word and legal implications. I came across this opinion that expresses what I mean much better: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/iowa-view/2023/12/14/israel-palestinian-gaza-war-genocide-definitions-discussions/71904125007/

Understanding and explaining how people may develop a perspective is not a defense of those people or their perspective. Simply saying “They’re morons, end of story” is unproductive. Denouncing a nuanced examination of the problem of distrust in healthcare is counterproductive. You can humanize without condoning. And clearly the intention was to address the problem in a meaningful way.

Or maybe I’m mistaken and the solution is “Stop being morons. End of story.” /s

You forgot, corporations are people too. And who are the most important people in the world??

It’s official, the Pope identifies as ideofluid

The speed is mind boggling. Accents also take different forms now, I.e Digital accents. You can tell a person’s age and region based on how they use emojis. It’s complicated further because different culture/language groups share the same emojis (second language), but may use them differently, kinda like Engrish but even more universal. What a time to be alive 😅😭😅

Jesus, did you read either article? One is about Chinese-American individuals (these are Americans) who donated to proud boys and one is a historical account of ties between civil rights activists and Mao’s government. These are not the same people.

If they set a 10 year goal it may take 20 years to hit 80% of goals, if they set a 20 year goal it’ll take 40 years to hit 50%, if they set a 50 year goal…

Nobody thinks this is a realistic goal, but the target gives a concrete number to set a mandate on which actually pragmatic policies, funding projects, and incentives can hang their hat on to keep the ball rolling.

With big infrastructure developments, nobody wants to buy into realistic goals, it’s too costly, and there’s never enough political will. You set overly ambitious goals so you can get people to buy in and then the project is too big to fail, so you end up paying what it actually costs, and you try to mitigate waste, unanticipated problems, corruption, and poor management along the way.

I would too. Unfortunately I’m pretty sure most places that check even half those boxes still fail in the market. You often have to drag consumers kicking and screaming towards something more equitable and less exploitative, even when they’re the ones being exploited.
