  And, as the article notes, Dahl’s estate apologised for his antisemitism. JK has not.

  Sib please get on a fucking bus once in your life. You are not allowed to smoke on them, marijuana or no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sagan, you look high.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well no, if you wanted to keep the discussion to marijuana then you should have stuck to actual criticisms of the drug instead of criticising potential consequences of misuse, which can apply to a lot of things. Driving unimpaired also kills innocent people, do you think driving should be banned?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sagan, you look high.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’re also arguing alcohol should be banned?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ban for upvotes is real here?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not implying anything, I’m telling you why your denial is unbelievable: you haven’t said anything to imply you regret being racist, you’re just brushing it under the carpet as something you thought was funny. That’s not what people who aren’t racist say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ban for upvotes is real here?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like once I used a pejorative term, just because I found it amusing (without knowing it was a racial slur in some countries).

  Maybe if you showed any sort of contrition instead of continually providing excuses as to why it’s not a problem people would believe it was just a mistake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stride and Speed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I decided to remove everything in the generation parameters that didn’t make it into the image to see what it would look like. Turns out AI is really bad at following instructions.

  A Kawasaki Corleo racing variant in mid-air, leaping over a water hazard on the Biomimetic Machine Racing Championship circuit, its four legs tucked in, motion blur conveying incredible speed, as the pilot, clad in a matching streamlined racing suit, lies flat, integrating with the machine’s control systems. The Corleo’s lightweight, aerodynamic shell shimmers in the sunlight, team colors and sponsorship details emblazoned on its sleek, organic-inspired frame, which incorporates a high-performance hydrogen propulsion system with distinctive blue energy signatures. Aggressive racing elements blend with the core Princess Mononoke-inspired aesthetic, as seen in the exposed leg actuators and competition-optimized components. In the background, rival machines, each with unique design approaches, speed past, their quadrupedal platforms a blur. The photorealistic rendering, with sports photography color grading, emphasizes technical details, showcasing the Corleo’s performance potential, while dynamic lighting highlights the machine’s athletic form, selectively focusing on its polished competition components. Inspired by the works of Syd Mead, H.R. Giger, and Daniel Dociu, this image embodies the intersection of cutting-edge technology, high-octane racing, and innovative design.

  It’s not actually mandatory - out of the 4 Jewish Israelis I’ve volunteered with only 1 had served in the IDF, the other 3 found nonmilitary ways to complete their national service, doing things like teaching instead. Not all Jewish Israelis are war criminals. Not all Jewish Israelis even support the existence of the state of Israel.

  Why are you repeating what I just told you as if you’re contradicting me? Mein Kampf is banned, and not because of any weakness in the case against it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Snow White’ Banned in Lebanon Due to Gal Gadot Being on Country’s ‘Israel Boycott List’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I need you to understand that Mein Kampf is a banned book and so you are currently claiming the case against literal NSDAP Nazism is so weak it can’t tolerate dissent.

  You need to either do some self crit and disentangle yourself from liberal idealism or get the fuck out of here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem. :)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, on second thoughts, this comment explicitly proves that you’re a reactionary hiding their lack of investigation behind accusations of immaterialism - just by applying your own logic to real world numbers, you’ve gone from a day to half a week. You have no place opining on this subject.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem. :)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you’ll notice that your “massive” 22°F is the difference between direct sunlight and no sunlight. Do you think there’s another sun to take away after the first one, to get rid of even more sunlight and drop the temperature another 22°?
  Why don’t you believe that physical materials are capable of holding heat energy? Why did you latch on to atmosphere and ground instead of the biggest energy store on the planet, the ocean (you don’t need to answer that we know it’s because those are the ones I named)? Why do you think that the temperature difference between day and night - sunlight and no sunlight - is the same as the general rate at which energy is lost from the planet? Have you not ever been outside at night to discover the largest part of the temperature drop happens as soon as the sun disappears?

  You’re doing a very good job of the typical liberal application of raw, familiar logic to a new situation, but the only part of it you actually understand is that the sun supplies lots of energy, and haven’t made it any further than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem. :)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  that article is the peak of liberal honkey reasoning

  Every single government will genocide 99.99999999999% of their population

  I’m gonna be real, I started thinking about responding to the tiny relevent bit at the start (it’s got a big picture to help you understand the interdependence you’re talking about), but your histrionics about justifying the hypothetical are pretty funny. Like sib nobody’s talking about how humanity would survive in the ridiculous hypothetical, we’re just talking about the physics of heat loss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem. :)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The ENTIRE PLANET does not cool by more than a degree from a few clouds you absolute moron. We’re not talking about your local microclimate, we’re talking about the entire world. This is as dumb a response as saying it snowed recently, so global warming isn’t real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem. :)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Read the article before trying to be a fucking smartarse. It gives specific numbers for geothermal radiation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem. :)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You are also forgetting the atmosphere and ground (and oceans, of course) - It being one huge interconnected energy system is exactly why I’m saying it would take longer. This guy’s calculations reckon we’d lose about 1 degree per 12 hours. January’s global average temperature was around 13°, so that’d be 6 and a half days. July last year it was 17°, so that’d be a whole 8 and a half days. It’s going to be more like a week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gottem. :)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly think you’re forgetting the atmosphere and like, physical ground under our feet. It doesn’t generally drop to 0C overnight unless it’s already pretty close to 0C because of the heat trapped in the atmosphere and emanating from the earth’s core. It’s going to be more like a week for most places.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK: Human rights group threatens legal action over alleged forced labour if authorities greenlight stock listing of Chinese fast-fashion retailer Shein⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Last year, SUG dispatched this same dossier to the FCA. It allegedly demonstrates a substantial risk of forced labour within Shein’s supply chain, a factor that SUG argues should preclude the retailer from listing on the LSE.

  So no actual evidence of forced labour, just a possibility it exists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chief thought Skripal poisoning could be 'act of war'⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, the generic you doesn’t have the history and context of “you people”, and even if it did, using “you people” to refer to groups that people choose to join (i.e the British Government) isn’t a problematic use. The whole point of "you people"being used against ethnic minorities is that it lumps people together as if their skin colour automatically means they follow specific ideologies. The point of an organisation like a government is that they are all working under the same ideology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chief thought Skripal poisoning could be 'act of war'⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Generic you, as in institutions of British government, not specific you, as in Niel Basu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Campaigners tie baby slings to statues in call for better UK paternity leave⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just want to be absolutely clear here, to make sure that you fully understand the question, because your answer suggests you don’t: It’s not couple of weeks a year, it’s just a couple of weeks, right at the start, and it’s not a holiday, you have to look after the baby at its most helpless during those extra weeks of leave. Are you sure that you consider a few extra weeks of looking after a child to be worth 18 years of looking after the child? Like I’m not doing a silly hypothetical where I ask if you consider yourself more or less likely to consider having a child in future, I am asking you, personally, if you will be having a child and raising it should men recieve more paternal leave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Campaigners tie baby slings to statues in call for better UK paternity leave⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would you honestly take on at least 18 years of responsibility for another human being in exchange for a couple of weeks off work? Do you seriously consider that an incentive?
