Where is that? I’ve never once heard of read of “antisemitism” being used that way
- Comment on ..? 4 days ago:
No on both accounts. You’re wrong, both in your attempt to regulate my language and your assertion.
You can literally find (actual real non-AI) footage of people being close enough to the explosion that they should be terrified, but they’re elated instead.

When I was 14, I also wisecracked that, but then
- I learned that linguistics is a descriptive discipline, not a prescriptive one: meaning correspond to usage, not what a word is “supposed” to mean
- I realized that words often have meanings that don’t correspond to their literal translation
So no, antisemitism doesn’t refer to any semitic tribes that aren’t Jewish.

You’re getting tautological here mate.
- Comment on ..? 4 days ago:
Conflating Israel and Jews is called antisemitism. If someone is just anti-Israel, they don’t become antisemitic from that (but it sure invites a lot of antisemites who smell a possible convert)

Nah, try listening to Iranians. They love that he got exploded.

Which is idiotic. I’m an anarchist for example.

I think if he died of cancer, the Iranian people wouldn’t celebrate as hard as they do right now.

Numbing kind of, but it more feels like vibration or “buzzing”, it’s hard to describe

There’s also menthol and whatever compound is in Szechuan pepper.

That’s because I don’t know or care if he did something.
All I’m saying that asking for abuse to happen would make one complicit in it happening no matter how actively one could participate in the abuse afterwards.
It’s quite a similar concept really. It’s while charges starting with “conspiracy to …” exist.

I’m not implying anything, I’m saying that if he wanted, he could have done a lot of things by meeting people who would make it happen for him.

Lol, way to demonstrate your ignorance.
He cheated on his wife with his nurse, that’s why they separated.

The USA continues to baffle me. You people still have paper checks? I haven’t seen one in at least 30 years in Europe (before that I was too little to care about such things, so I might never have seen one)

Sorry, I’m not a physicist, but the big bang happening everywhere at once isn’t up for debate. As far as I understand, it’s a well-settled fact. Read the article!
- Comment on Mama! 1 month ago:
The big bang didn’t happen in a pattern, it happened everywhere at once: nasaspacenews.com/…/is-the-universe-infinite-new-…
The universe expanding means it gets sparser. It has no edge and no center, so it’s not spherical. It’s either infinite or repeating (e.g. it might be the surface of a 4D torus, but as said: that doesn’t imply an edge). I personally believe it’s infinite and not repeating.
- Comment on Mama! 1 month ago:
I’m not philosophizing with this one, the idea that the universe might be truly infinite is very much an accepted possibility among physicists. There’s no conclusive evidence for or against infinity so something about your assertion here must be wrong.
I’m not a physicist, so I can only speculate what might be wrong: maybe it’s because an explosion in our understanding is within a medium, whereas the big bang didn’t happen “inside of a bigger space”. So the big bang wasn’t a point in 3D space because space only started existing with the big bang.

That’s pretty cool sci-fi!

Earth is fine, it’s seen worse than humanity. Geology doesn’t care about what biology does.
- Comment on Mama! 1 month ago:
There’s also no reason to believe that the big bang happened at one “point”. I believe that the universe (and therefore the big bang) are infinite.
Everything is relative, so something infinite can still expand: since there’s no absolute speed, galaxies can move away from each other everywhere, at all times.

A homeless person freezing to death on the winter streets in the US is as poor as a homeless person starving in Lebanon. Who cares if one of them has a banged-up smartphone. They’re both dying.

I’m not living there, don’t assume things. And why do you think obesity means wealth? The trash food that makes their people fat and unhealthy is very much an expression of poverty. The wealthy there east healthy food.
