Bit easy to dismiss millions of people because they aren’t cynical or bitter and then equating that to basically being young and dumb. Perhaps reality is what it is because it’s always the Bush’ and Clinton’s, who only marginally affect the status quo, and never the Ron Paul’s, who see inherent issues with the system, or ‘reality’, and at least have somewhat of an inclination to improve it.
To me, a European, he was one of the very few, if any, candidates that made sense and seemed consistent in how he voted and spoke. And I consider myself to be quite libertarian.
I don’t really understand your remark to be honest, other than shoehorning the “he made a racist remark” thing into the conversation. Perhaps you could elaborate.
I’m sure someone already made a graph plotting the hours wasted learning vs the seconds gained not moving your mouse.
“Your honor the suspect had blood on his hands when we found him. Well you’re 10% blood so what’s your point?”
It’s just a tighter grouping of (biased) data that can be searched and retrieved a bit quicker.
How is your intelligence different from being “biased data that can be accessed”?
The fact that something can reason about what it presents to you as information is a form of intelligence. And while this discussion is impossible without defining “reason”, I think we should at least agree that when a machine can explain to you what and why it did what it did, it is a form of reason.
Should we also not define what it means when a person answers a question through reasoning? It’s easy to overestimate the complexity of it because of our personal bias and our ability to fantasize about endless possibilities, but if you break our abilities down, they might be the result of nothing but a large dataset combined with a simple algorithm.
It’s easy to handwave the intelligence of an AI, not because it isn’t intelligent, but because it has no desires, and therefore doesn’t act unless acted upon. It is not easy to jive that concept with the idea that something is alive, which is what we generally require before calling it intelligent.
You’re missing the point. The issue with Fahrenheit is not about the conversion from Celsius, most Europeans don’t need to do that anyway. The problem is Fahrenheit in itself, it’s just not elegant or scientific and therefore comes off as arbitrary and only makes sense when you grow up with it.
I know a 5 year old who shoved a crayon up his nose.
Haha, I get it, it’s totally fine!
Hey everyone get a glimpse of this loser!
I don’t think it’s funny, because the joke is illogical. If he is a teacher in a University, and it looks like it, that it is his job to mansplain.
So close. You seem to have Sheldon levels of understanding sarcasm.
It’s just a simple joke about the term being misapplied to an everyday setting.
I would advise avoiding things with sucralose.
It’s actually the IDF that uses Palestinians as human shields and routinely kidnaps kids and tortures them. WHICH THEY DO.
The use of Palestinians as human shields by Israeli Defense Forces has been documented by human rights organizations including Human Rights Watch, B’Tselem and Amnesty International.[6][7][8] According to B’Tselem, IDF soldiers put Palestinian civilians in front of them or otherwise putting civilians in the line of fire,[9] and forcing Palestinians to remove suspicious objects (possible explosives).[9] IDF soldiers also force Palestinian civilians to walk through suspected booby-trapped buildings. Israel also formerly employed the “neighbor procedure” in which Palestinian civilians were forced to attempt to persuade wanted individuals to surrender themselves to the IDF.[10] The latter practice was defended by the Israeli defense ministry, but prohibited in 2005 by the Israeli Supreme Court,[11] though there have been accusations of its employment even after the ruling.[12][13] During the 2009 invasion of Gaza, IDF reportedly used Palestinian families (both adult and children) as human shields.[14][15]
Yeah but does the one on the left fit a rack server? I think not!
It’s a bit late to worry about internal mics when everyone has their phone on them at all times.
Probably stuck on an older os which doesn’t support the newest browser updates.
That’s because it’s not dirt but normal pigmentation of the shell.
What would be the point of washing that part of the egg you’re going to throw out 3 seconds later?
Do you mean malware?
Am I the only one who fails to see anything seriously wrong with what you list there? I’m purposefully ignoring “misinformation spreading conspiracy theorist”, because that’s a pretty meaningless accusation and is often added as an easy character assassination rather than something substantial, but I’d like to see you elaborate.
I mean, we’re talking jail time and extradition, and nothing you’ve mentioned is even against the law in the slightest. Yes, there was piracy on his file sharing site, but that’s true for practically any service on the internet, from Google drive to Amazon S3 and anything in-between and vaguely related.
Characters like him are targeted because they are both successful and anti establishment, the eccentricity just tops it off. But why should that result in a lack of sympathy? The world doesn’t have enough of these people who rock the boat if you ask me.
Your entire theory hinges on a racist remark that he didn’t even write and was possibly unaware of. Unless I’m missing something groundbreaking on page 2 and 3 of that article which I can’t read because it’s paywalled.
Is there anything Ron Paul did politically that would suggest fascist ideologies? The word is thrown around a lot these days.
