Throwback to when someone shared the OG version of this meme to my uni chat, I replied with "Oh you can simply do

def is_even(n: int) -> boolean:
    if n > 0 return not is_even(n - 1)
    elif n < 0 return not is_even(n + 1)
    else return True

And instead of laughing at the joke the TA in the chat said “When you start getting internships you’ll do n % 2” like I was being serious.

people IRL: hey man how’s it going

The way things usually go, if there was no campaigning, Israel gets a lower credit rating and local governments would be looking to give Israel more money just to support our greatest ally.

Sorry, sweetie, looks like we’re privatizing the local library so Israel can get more interceptors that don’t work!

Not European. They stand in unwavering solidarity with Canada, which is a monarchy.

I think the canonical way to make this meme would be to put racial caricatures on the left, then the soyjak reacting to them with the speech bubble saying “my food supply!!” then the chad wojak with hate symbol tattoo saying something else, like “I don’t know how to square the contradictions here but maybe Epstein was just a lonely guy? Oh wait wrong culture war”

In the interest of keeping the memory of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising alive through our agitprop, I wanna raise a question that maybe some here might be qualified to answer:

When drawing the parallels between Al-Aqsa Flood and the Warsaw Guetto Uprising, there’s a common Zionist retort that I’ve struggled to really give a strong response to. It goes, “You can’t compare the October 7th attacks to the Warsaw Ghetto revolt because in the case of the Warsaw Guetto, the Jewish resistance only struck back against Nazis, not German civilians, while Hamas killed hundreds of civilians in October 7th”

Now, my kneejerk reaction is some combination of the following:

• Hamas planned the Al-Aqsa flood for at least several months, by themselves, and could not have known that they were going to come into contact with the Nova festival in their operation; more likely, they were just targeting the occupation base nearby.
• Settlers aren’t non-combatants
• To this day we still don’t know of the claimed 1200 dead in the Al-Aqsa Flood operation how many were killed by Hamas and how many were killed by Israel, how many were active IOF or civilians (keep in mind, Hamas successfully destroyed several military checkpoints on Oct 7th, and obviously had to break through the wall around Gaza to facilitate the operation, so it’s certain that Israel took many military casualties).

But I feel like all these arguments a bit weak and lacking. Particularly, I don’t recall ever seeing Palestinian intellectuals ever arguing these points in response to that kind of argument, and I generally like to follow in their leads. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you, CorrectOnTheInternet.

I’m not an expert but I’m pretty sure that you can geolocate an image off of a lot less info than what would be available from a wide-angle landscape photo. You probably could do it algorithmically if you have a topographic map of Yemen and some way to extract topographic data from the image.

it’s from a year ago!

That’s not the point being argued at all. Linus Torvalds is a bit of a lib (though he has said some cool things over the years, not enough to outweigh his attitude towards Russian maintainers); the Linux community is itself full of libs. I’ve learned to live with that. I accept that. Why must you be a little piss baby about the Lemmy community having lots of communists when we all can clearly see it was made by communists to make sure there was a space for communists to exist online?

The obvious answer is that the Clintons are heavily implicated, but in a more general sense, the point of blackmail is to extort someone into doing something on the condition that you don’t release the blackmail. That’s why they got Epstein to connect with so many academics, celebrities, and other public figures. If they were to just release the blackmail, it would lose intelligence agencies all their leverage.

From day 1, Zionism has had support from opportunist “socialists” and “communists” that completely lack the capacity for introspection and considering whether there might be a little bit more to politics than flying red flags and raising wages.

That’s interesting, I also pretty much sing as high as I can manage every time I hear this too.

I think if I was working in laundromats in the DC area, I’d be upset at the overtime, but excited about the opportunity.

Country that spends 20% of its national budget on skull measuring implements.

It all started when I watched his stream, actually. But the sweatlord inside me took over and I started learning a lot from FuryForged and DunkOrSlam. Ended up going through a lot of wand building guides to learn how to abuse the crap out of Greek letter spells to make a wand that casts as many copies of Chaos Larpa modifiers attached to omega sawblade. Hilarity ensues.
