It’s a skill that we find harder to master than others. That’s all.

Some are naturally gifted at math. Some can learn a new language effortlessly. Others have to practice and pay attention carefully or they make an error.

It took me 30 years. My personality is now permanently different. It’s no longer a mask just like learning a language and culture eventually becomes normal.

And unlike Meta, you will be thrown in prison like Jeremiah Perkins.

Even if found completely guilty, the worst that will happen is Meta has to pay a fine: which means nothing because any fine is rolled into the cost of doing business. Meta knows it is stupid to not break the law.

Translation:

We want this but the voters aren’t happy so we are going to pretend to be on their side to avoid losing the election.

Every comic doesn’t need a disclaimer “THIS IS SARCASM”

The last panel is the antelope is thanking the Lion for eating it. The ruling class used education to make the workers thankful for being killed by their rulers.

In 2015 Trump’s doctor reported that goons showed up and took all his records.

Sure, AI can automate the work, but instead of maintaining quality, said quality of work is also taking a nosedive in tandem with the quality of materials.

Knuth wrote about AI solving one of his 30 year old problems:

So it can be good in the right hands.

Whipping around is a regular idiom.

It means turning with suddenness.

Maybe he meant whipping?

It says full size rj45?

Lower Decks is incredible but a huge part of the humor is insider jokes which don’t work without every Trek show that came before it.

No, the worker was fired and the executive whose job title is making sure that the work submitted is correct was not fired.

The executives will get a bonus this year.

Thiel is going to keep Trump going with his blood boys.

Palapatine was never in the Sarlaac?

He’s going to end up like the dude in South Korea.

Haha. Americans have no morals or ethics. They re elected Trump despite his illegal coup attempt.

Yes taxes are collected from Americans.

He looked at total deaths.

“Iraqi casualty figures are not known, but number at least 30,000. Some estimates are as high as 100,000.” https://www.nam.ac.uk/explore/gulf-war

I finally rediscovered the source of my idea that Obama was better than Bush: This research paper made the circles 10 /+ years ago:

https://www.academia.edu/6515361/Presidents_Body_Counts_The_Twelve_Worst_and_Four_Best_American_Presidents_Based_on_How_Many_Lived_or_Died_Because_of_Their_Actions

conclusion is that they’re roughly the same.

If you ignore it was 8 years vs 4.

And we’re still have the “During the nationwide uprisings against the Ba’athist Iraqi government that directly followed the end of the Gulf War in March and April, an estimated 25,000 to 100,000 Iraqis were killed, overwhelmingly civilians.[253]”

That’s direct death, not the lack of food/medicine mentioned kn the next paragraph: “A Harvard University study released in June 1991 predicted that there would be tens of thousands of additional Iraqi civilian deaths by the end of”

So ignoring the indirect death there’s still 25k direct death added to the bombing deaths.

The total death toll for each is well over 100k.

One is higher than the other.

So there is no difference between Guilani and Mamdani because both have deaths from police action under their leadership? 1 or 100 is the same?

Come on, now you’re not even talking about the right war.

You are right, I referenced the wrong source. I’m remembering the links from 15years ago when I had this argument with conservatives on Reddit who were pushing the idea that Obama was the worst president ever.

25,000 to 100,000 Iraqis were killed, overwhelmingly civilians

In other words, the 100k figure includes indirect deaths.

You cannot take a Harvard study about predicted deaths from lack of medical care and then say that reported civilian deaths from war were from indirect.

If you are going with direct civilian killings from Obama then you use the column labeled “Civilians killed as a result of U.S.-led military actions” from the earlier link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_in_the_war_in_Afghanistan_(2001-2021)

For example: “The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) attributed 596 Afghan civilian deaths as having been caused by international-led military forces in 2009, representing about a quarter of the 2,412 Afghan civilian deaths it recorded as having been caused by the war in 2009.”

I was including indirect for Obama.
