This you?
If you’re working for a western arms manufacturer you can be pretty certain your products will end up in Israel too.
Yes, that’s me. Maybe the bit you’re missing is that if you work at a company, the company’s products are your products.

You could’ve just said “yes, I think that’s where the ethical line is”, instead of linking logical fallacies wikipedia like a fourteen year old atheist.
We haven’t moved anywhere. We were at “working for companies profiting from genocide is wrong” and we’ve started right there.

Why would that matter? You think it’s alright to work for a company supplying the Palestinian genocide as long as you’re not working on that specific product line? British aerospace is pretty directly involved there so I’d set my standards a little higher personally.

In principle I agree with you but this really requires faith in the justice system to always work. In this case for sure it’s correct, but I wouldn’t be comfortable taking it as a universal rule in our current actual society.

It’s not that simple, if you are healthier with regular exercise your hunger is also better regulated and your diet will be better.

It’s good if your examiners have a few easy things to pick up, makes them feel useful and stops them from finding nonsense just to have something to criticise ;)

In most places the defense is kind of just a formality. It’s an important part of the ritual and the process, it’s important to present your work, but nobody should be submitting unless they’re definitely going to pass the defense, or else their supervisor has really failed them

Because they just don’t write emails like this, it’s way more likely that some scammer fooled your friend.
- Comment on My friend got hacked and of course microsoft will not even try to help 1 month ago:
its from my friend so thats all I need personally
You think it’s literally impossible that your friend would be fooled into thinking the email was from Microsoft when it wasn’t?

This meme is not saying anything like it’s the average price? It’s suggesting that the aesthetic of the tater tots in the jar conjures feelings of those places you can find which are that expensive.

20 dollars is about 16 CHF, that’s an extremely normal price for a cocktail. I live just outside Zurich, I’m not exaggerating for comedic or dramatic effect. In a fancy bar in district 1 or niedersorf it’s more like 25 CHF or 30 USD.
Just a random selection of a few bars in downtown:

Paris is not nearly one of the most expensive cities. For a huge cultural capital it’s really quite affordable. Try Zurich or San Francisco or Singapore.

If the train killed only left handed people, you should still be left with infinite train proof right handed people.
Well, infinite left-hand-killing-train proof people, we don’t know about other trains.
- Comment on IT'S A TRAP 2 months ago:
Great explanation, I’d just like to add to this bit because I think it’s fun and important
And you would continue to kill infinite people every time you reached a new whole number.
Or any new number at all. Between 0 and 0.0…01 there are already infinite people. And between 0.001 and 0.002.
- Comment on IT'S A TRAP 2 months ago:
with the extra requirement that the probability applies to the whole set I think it checks out, intuitively anyway the expected ~0.0…01 * ∞ is still ∞

I count three os on the bottom, from “common”, “problem”, and “poems”. Seems correct to me?

It’s this photo, it’s as old as the hills. Lots of people used to have it as a profile pic because of exactly that reaction when it’s a thumbnail. I hunted for a while but couldn’t find the original source, maybe someone else knows or has better search-fu than me.

because the withdrawal also kills
Ah, you might be thinking of alcohol. Nicotine withdrawal just makes a very strong craving but there is no physical danger.
