Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
But also, it would be nice to invest a bit more in science and engineering (with smaller class sizes, more educated teachers, and more hands on experimentation) rather than doing “teach the controversy” shit in auditorium sized rooms full of kids who have already been indoctrinated to believe in magic.
Double taps are bad no matter who does it.
Glad someone else is brave enough to acknowledge this.
Given the Israeli position on military rape, it’s just a different flavor of attrocity.
But a 20 year old male? It’s easy to argue they could have been an enemy combatan
The age old problem of “excess males” solved by declaring open season on anyone with facial hair.
Whataboutism
Are you arguing the double taps are bad because they’re war crimes or because they’re Russian?
When Russia loses, their war crimes will be prosecuted.
America is on the cusp of pulling out of the ICJ entirely
double tap is in fact a strategy Russia is using
Hardly unique to the Russians. The “Collateral Murder” video of US war crimes in Iraq was from a helicopter employing a double-tap strategy on a group of civilians fleeing the area.
Also popular in Gaza and Lebanon, as employed by the Israelis. And in the Philippines, by the government against insurgents. And in India during the invasion of Kashmir. And by the Syrian and Turks in their war on ISIS. And, and, and…
Russia is a terrorist state, that must be stopped.
War is the act of committing crimes unimpeded. All states engaged in war are in the act of committing terrorism. When you hear people talk about “necessary evil”, this is the evil their necessitating.
Running, cycling, climbing, swimming. He’s a quadruple threat.
Sadly, Marvel has fired all their good screenwriters and replaced them with overworked/underpaid animators based overseas.
Out of the blue, some BBC executive or execs wanted to censor the sketch because of “its’ visual depiction of menstrual urine”.
This feels like a Mitchel and Webb bit. Hell, if the censors burst into the scene carrying a big piece of blacked out cardboard to hold over the bottle, it would fit into the original Monty Python episode perfectly.
It’s ok to charge money to run a business.
They’re not charging money. They’re just throwing up a big sign demanding my email address.
They’ll just get a check for Infinity Money to keep going, because otherwise something something China Will Win.
Can’t do crimes if you’re rich. It’s in the Constitution
The original author (Jeremy Hsu) is misleading here with the term “screenshot every 500ms”.
“meta tags every 500ms” might be more accurate, but the end result is the same. The device is monitoring what you consume in order to aggregate data on your household.
We pretend it’s ok by saying that we have high accuracy high precision cluster bombs.
Why would you want precise cluster bombs? The whole point of a cluster munition is to spread the effect over a broad area.
They are doing very well
Its crazy to see people double down on this line two years into the conflict.
Nobody is doing well. This is a war of attrition that’s ruining Ukraine’s interior, devastating its population, and obliterating its economy. The absolute best thing you can say about the conflict is that Russians are also losing lots of blood. But that puts the terms of “victory” entirely within the scope of “How many dead Russians have we produced?” rather than “How much of Ukraine is there left to save?”
What they need is more weapons.
Who is going to be using them?
good.
Cluster bombs dropped across the country will be killing people decades after the war is over.
Absolutely hate this shit.
I wish. Crypto has been depressingly buoyant.
100 situps, pushups, and squats aren’t exactly easy like doing the alphabet.
laughs nervously, then scrambles to get better at his alphabet
And they kill women.
