Tommy Tallarico must be devastated

Do Italian professors know their students’ names? Over here, two countries to the North, no professor knows anything about their students.

Placebos work even when you knows it’s a placebo though. Pointing out something is a placebo is important because many are at best overpriced scams (homeopathy) and at worst actively harmful (chiropracty). The culture behind many placebos is also rife with pseudoscience and advocates against seeking out genuine care, so you should ensure nobody gets invested into placebos past a certain point.

One can make an informed decision regarding taking placebos if and only if one knows it’s a placebo, else one will be scammed and/or harmed.

This is the GutHub project by the way:

Clearly, a project whose last commit was 12 years ago should be more than enough evidence that she hacked WorldCat.

The problem is with the development ceasing. The source code will remain, but if there’z no dedicated team developing bugs will not be fixed and features will not be added.

Yeah, it’s just the triangle inequality.

Also RCS which I am basically obligated to mention

grep --Groß--und-Kleinschreibung-der-Buchstaben-ignorieren

That makes much more sense, my first intuition was passing people on the sidewalk which… doesn’t seem like a red flag.

What do you mean with

walking around other earthlings on footpaths etc instead of through

Is an earthling a human, an animal, a plant or subsets of those three? And what is walking through an earthling?

I’m geniuenly curious, I have no idea what you mean.

Not a member, can you post the reason?

Nice quote. How about a few more?

Jews are a people who cannot be trusted. They have been traitors to all agreements. Go back to history. Their fate is their vanishing

• an imam of Hamas, 2008

Suffering by fire is the Jews’ destiny in this world and the next. Therefore we are sure that the Holocaust is still to come upon the Jews.

• another imam and Hamas legislator

In order to annihilate those Jews. … O Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters. O Allah, destroy the Americans and their supporters. O Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one.

• Speaker of the Hamas parliament, 2012

The Jews are behind each and every catastrophe on the face of the Earth. This is not open to debate. This is not a temporal thing, but goes back to days of yore. They concocted so many conspiracies and betrayed rulers and nations so many times that the people harbor hatred towards them. … Throughout history—from Nebuchadnezzar until modern times. … They slayed the prophets, and so on. … Any catastrophe on the face of this Earth—the Jews must be behind it.

• a member of the Hamas parliament, 2012

We all remember how the Jews used to slaughter Christians, in order to mix their blood in their holy matzos… It happened everywhere.

• Hamas spokesman, 2014

This conference bears a clear Zionist goal, aimed at forging history by hiding the truth about the so-called Holocaust, which is an alleged and invented story with no basis. (…) The invention of these grand illusions of an alleged crime that never occurred, ignoring the millions of dead European victims of Nazism during the war, clearly reveals the racist Zionist face, which believes in the superiority of the Jewish race over the rest of the nations. (…) By these methods, the Jews in the world flout scientific methods of research whenever that research contradicts their racist interests.

• Hamas press release, 2000

The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, ‘O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’ Only the Gharkad tree would not do that, because it is one of the trees of the Jews.

• The former 1988 Hamas charter, but also a hadith in which islamists believe

Well, then there’s also a bunch of other stuff I didn’t mention:

• cleaning the car costs a little every now and thrn because you mustn’t do it in your driveway
• speeding tickets and other violations occur depending on how well you abide by the rules
• TÜV et al. cost a little every few years
• some parts may break due to bad luck - even Toyota cannot prevent stone chips on your windshield

There are a lot of small hidden costs which all add up, even on cheap cars.

You don’t factor in:

• tires
• oil changes
• repairing broken parts
• insurance
• the loss of value over time

“Communists are saying Nazi things”? I’m not sure where I talked about communists besides the opposition to it in Hamas.

And no, I’m not implying Palestinians are Nazis - I’m responding to the claim that Hamas isn’t fascist just because there’s more to fascism than antisemitism. Yes, antisemitism does not imply fascism. But antisemitism combined with a few other factors does imply fascism. (And no, fascism does not imply antisemitism).

And it’s certainly not a stretch to claim a subset of a group is fascist. Like this Palestinian on the left (who is also instrumentalized by Israeli fascists to claim all Palestinians are Nazis - which is obviously wrong, but this guy certainly was one):

Also, just a small definition: I use the terms Nazi and fascist interchangeably, there’s not much of a point here to argue semantics.

Never said anything positive about Israel, did I? I responded to a comment saying just because Hamas is antisemitic doesn’t mean it’s fascist. While that’s true, Hamas fulfills more hallmarks of fascism than merely antisemitism.

Yeah, nationalism and anti-communism are also pillars of nazism. Wait…

A foot is like 30cm. So it’s roughly 27000 cm^3 or 27 liters.

Uh oh. Infinite carbon.
