Idk there is a case to be made for the dog being toroidial
They're testing out transphobia now
Sharon, a 60-year-old social worker ... from London who does not own her own home and has no savings. Her two adult children are unemployed, despite having gone to university, each owing about £40,000 as a result. Private rental housing was “beyond their means”, she said.
Sharon was one of hundreds of women who shared that sex-based rights for women and girls was a main political concern of theirs this election.
Her finances are ruined by liberal policies but her main concern is trans people? Fuck her.
I'm seeing n and i used as variables in Rudin, predominantly n though, but Im accustomed to n being a constant.
I've seen it used very frequently as a name for a variable, the imaginary unit i usually has a different typeface to distinguish the two is what Im accustomed to.
Its a pretty good analogy though, "can I interest you in the socially accepted mass murder, or something that is open about the harm it wilh do?"
Im trying to make the distinction between a function that approaches a value as it's input grows, for instance a sequence seen as a function on the domain of the natural numbers, and the value itself.
I have seen a lot of people view 0.999... as a number that "approaches one", so formally speaking as the sequence (0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...) and not the number itself which that sequence approaches which they would agree is 1.
The "its the largest number which is less than 1" type of thinking.
Yeah that's something that people have to get used to in maths, if the limit of a sequence exists we can just pretend to have "reached infinity" and work with like any number.
0.999... isn't a number approaching 1, it is 1.
Isnt that the 
kid? Why does he come back for seconds?
Also my first instinct after seeing a life end probably wouldn't be "Alright lets dig in! Finally! Vegan meat!"
if sugar was made with bone char or not
what 
sugar isn't safe??
How does that translate into them consenting to sharing their food? Honest question.
It's these kinds of post that made me go vegan last december (3 weeks before christmas lol, kind of upended some christmas plans with my family).
Non-human animals continue to be exploited because humans have established that they are allowed to on the basis of such hierarchical domination, hierarchical domination that scares me because of my own oppression.
That argument is what made it finally click for me, if the capitalists can do to animals what they are doing now, why would I be safe? The cow is more of a comrade than the mcdonalds clown. My allegiance should be clear. I didn't even know about the more heinous aspects of animal ag, like what dairy cows go through. I actually just learned about that today. But it is clear, even without going into the tortuous details of animal husbandry, who is the oppressed and who is the oppressor and therefore who my allegiance should be to is as well. And once that thought appeared, I couldn't go back anymore. Either I had to stomach the hipocrisy and be able to live with myself or go vegan and going vegan was the easier route.
I don't see animal flesh and secretions as food anymore
That's a weird feeling for me, stuff that I used to love to eat now absolutely revolts me. That saying about "how the sausage is made" is a literal fact for me. For example I don't really have a moral argument against scavenging, like "what if an animal peacefully died in your arms" or some other contrived example omnis come up with, it just disgusts me.
the hard part is getting used to it socially and getting frustrating questions.
I still need to tell my wife that the "cute" farm and zoo books we have for our son gotta go and that we shouldn't accept animal ag propaganda as gifts from grandparents. Not something I'm looking forward too.
I'm fairly certain I saw downvotes on hexbear posts way before. I think they are local to your instance, and not federatd though. If people on lemmy.ml downvote hexbear posts lemmy.ml saves that, maybe even tells hexbear about it but hexbear doesn't care. And other instances get their data from hexbear so they won't see those downvotes, only the ones local to them.
We have this music box for our 1yo and there are a lot kid songs in different pop music styles and she loved "the one with the trumpets". I never really was into ska so I'm asking the collective for the best ska songs they know so I can surprise her with a playlist.
edit: sorry its been hectic and I couldn't get to this "project", thank you all so much for your suggestions!
We want to paint a rainbow on a white wall, but dont know what color codes to get. How am I supposed to convert light frequencies into RAL color codes this shit blows. Maths was never meant to be applied to the real world.
Der frühere US-Außenminister Kissinger ist im Alter von 100 Jahren gestorben. Der in Deutschland geborene Friedensnobelpreisträger prägte die Außenpolitik der USA in den 1970er-Jahren unter den damaligen Präsidenten Nixon und Ford entscheidend mit.
This is from the leading public-service news program. They are considered to be very objective and reporting without bias by large groups in Germany.
The former US Secretary of State has died at the age of 100. The german-born nobel peace prize winner had a decisive impact on US foreign policy in the 1970s under then President Nixon and Ford.
The former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is dead. The controversial Nobel peace prize winner and diplomat died on Wednesday at the age of 100 in his home in Connecticut, said the consultancy firm he founded, Kissinger Associates.
As a security advisor and foreign minister to US Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford the republican significantly shaped US foreign policy. His efforts led to a opening of diplomatic relations with China, to arms regulation negotiations between the USA and the Soviet Union, to an improvement of the relationships between Israel and its arab neighbours and to the Paris Peace Accords with North Vietnam.
Born in Germany
Heinz Alfred Kissinger was born into a Jewish family in Fürth, Franconia, on May 27, 1923; his father worked as a teacher at a local high school. In 1938 he fled Nazi Germany with his family. The Kissingers eventually settled in Manhattan, where Heinz became Henry.
After a career in science, the political scientist became national security advisor in the White House and later US Secretary of State in 1968 when the Republican Nixon was elected president.
Nobel Peace Prize for contribution to the peace treaty with Vietnam
In the struggle for a peace solution to the Middle Ease conflict, Kissinger was the first to practice so-called “shuttle diplomacy”. He tried to bring the USA and China closer together through secret channels.
Kissinger also initiated talks on the Treaty of Paris in January 1973, which enabled the United States to withdraw from the deadly and costly Vietnam War. Two years later, Saigon fell to the communist Viet Cong. Kissinger received the Nobel Peace Prize for the ceasefire agreement with North Vietnam.
Much-criticized pioneer of realpolitik
Kissinger also advocated a course of detente towards the Soviet Union. During the Watergate scandal involving eavesdropping on political opponents under Nixon, Kissinger's influence grew.
He was considered an advocate of realpolitik, according to which the means of diplomacy should be used to achieve pragmatic goals and not primarily to advance noble ideals. His advocates credited him with serving American interests with his approach. Critics, however, accused him of pursuing diplomacy based on power politics, which ran counter to democratic values. His support of anti-communist dictatorships, especially in Latin America, also brought him a lot of criticism.
Publicly active until the end
Ford called Kissinger a "super-secretary of state," but also pointed to his sharpness and self-assurance, which critics described as paranoia and egotism. Ford said, "Henry never made a mistake in his mind."
Kissinger remained active after his 100th birthday, attending White House meetings, publishing a book on leadership and testifying before a Senate committee about the nuclear threat from North Korea. In July 2023 he made a surprise visit to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Such a sweet sweet torture, I dont wanna be here but I cant learn with him in the same flat and the pictures remind me of what I'm missing but I also don't want them to stop. !cri
