soo…is FORTRAN greek? Or phoenecian?

…but what if I pick the one with all the furries? :3

Now imagine Newton being shown quantum mechanics…🥲

I’ve seen them, they’re neat, but are they something you own like a dolly cart or something you rent/borrow when you need it?

yeah, Veep is the show to watch if you want to get a feel for what happens in government.

Ah, donc ils veulent q’on le voit comme une table avec une bulle de dialogue…très sus.

never go full Kanye

good luck o7

Anything that pushes the settlers out of the West Bank and keeps them out of Gaza should be a strong enough signal to be met by a serious and verifiable commitment by Palestine not to do any dodgy mass rearmament on Israel’s borders. From there, things could only get better if that deal holds, but yea, bibi isn’t capable of that, he’s a coward who will sink Israel.

If the countries around them hadn’t invaded them like 7 times…yea…they’d have more goodwill and be less paranoid…now they don’t even trust hamas to run Gaza, because they can’t be sure they won’t pull another Oct 7th stunt again with foreign help.

hamas? I gotta see this, where? I’ll use google translate.

PS: nvm, I found this https://apnews.com/article/hamas-khalil-alhayya-qatar-ceasefire-1967-borders-4912532b11a9cec29464eab234045438 I wouldn’t take it at face value, but it would help if true…at least this guy is still alive.

It’s a Friday…gotta get down on Fridayy.

Here’s one reason for you to digest: hamas refuses to recognize Israel as a country and would rather Israel be totally destroyed than recognize it in some way to have peace.

You can’t say Ukraine refuses to recognize russia as a country and it is a fact that Ukraine would stop fighting the moment all russians fuck off back to russia. Can you say hamas will stop fighting even if Israel finallt took its grubby hands off the West Bank and Gaza? hah, no.

There is also the other reason that russia is doing both the brutality of Israel and the unrestrained suicidal fanaticism of hamas on Ukraine. You can bothsides Israel-hamas to some extent, not Ukraine.

Well, now he looks just like Salman Rushdie, sounds fair…sort of.

So why do I have to read that on wikipedia instead of their website? Where is their green new deal plan, their manifesto? Varoufakis has been pushing one, this has been a thing in Europe for a long, long time.

Tell me a flagship green policy of hers, if you can find it.

dude…your bike is farting so loud you gave grandma a heart attack…that’s not as cool as you imagine it to be :/

The rest of my comment addresses that. The “good king” father figure does a lot of heavy lifting for autocracy in people’s subconscious (even Plato’s haha), but it is inevitable for a “benevolent monarch” with the mandate to “fix everything” to turn sour and abuse power, the variance of one single individual’s performance and world iew is too high. Aristotle writes about some of this too.

Sure, a good autocracy will always be more effective and fairer than a good democracy. The greek already knew that.

They also knew that a bad autocracy will always be worse than a bad democracy.

And you have no idea what you will get with an autocrat, they change over time, they make new enemies out of you, what is good for some is bad for others…

So democracy is not just about giving people what they want or representing their views, it is about damage limitation between all the established “mafias” vying for power and a ruleset for peaceful evolution.

To make it worse, some modern societies hide de facto autocracy or oligarchy under democracy, which may sour you towards democracy.
