Pay it because if you don't pay it they might come and make you pay it? Poor argument.

There's a native restaurant near me that is kinda like the equivalent of Chipotle for American Indian cuisine, and it's fantastic. The owners are members of the Osage Nation and have had a few restaurants since the 90s. Really happy for them that they recently expanded to also have a food truck and catering business, as well as a little satellite location at a nearby ski mountain.

I can't do much to help undo the genocide and cultural erasure, but I damn well take everybody I know to that restaurant.

Sorry but no? "Voters" means the same thing in both cases, that's how statistics works. You take a small subset of people and try to control for as much as possible to make it an accurate representation of the greater population. Nobody actually knows what Voters in the abstract think if they don't vote or answer polls

Yes. And the original poll estimated that 41% of voters under 30 approved of Mangione's actions. My point is statistics are more valuable and informative when you try your best to compare apples to apples.

Yes but a more direct comparison would be to voters under 30. Around 46% of 18-29 yr. olds supported Trump.

I am not in academia but did participate in published research both in college and in a job as a lab assistant afterward. I don't really think your analogy holds up. There is literally no cost to such a change; scientists just need to start READING and CITING papers from free, alternative journals for them to be legitimized. The profit incentives of the universities, private industry, and government that fund the majority of research are not affected by the choice of the medium of exchange of ideas. Only the journals' pockets.

Ok I simply don't understand how the same means and methods used by the free and open source software community have not been employed here. These are smart people! Just start your own damn free journal service, found a council and tap some industry-leading researchers in some common fields to start reviewing papers.

I mean, having one in ten of your fellow soldiers murdered by their own commander is pretty horrific, and I think that's the spirit of its modern usage.

Don't fall into their trap. It is important to point out that it isn't antisemitic either way, because your assertion had absolutely nothing to do with her religious or ethnic background.

Lol idk why but I find it so funny that you are speaking English with French nouns.

[–] rektdeckard@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

It's fine that you don't understand. I know plenty of non-religious people who were able to find their own meaning in those words

It takes conscious effort to be in touch with your deeper thoughts and emotions, so in a sense yes. Not everything that is known to the self is known to the conscious mind. Didn't think that would be controversial.

 

Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?

 

I found this leaflet on my car windshield the other day in Highlands area. The author (possibly homeless) seems to have a paranoid delusion about a government conspiracy forcing his wife to divorce him and marry another man. Pretty clearly a person with untreated mental illness, and sad on its own.

What's weird is that when I researched the name, I found posts on Reddit (won't link here) reporting similar leaflets appearing in DC, Iowa, Oklahoma, Utah, and elsewhere going back at least a year. Anyone else find a similar note? Is this a real person, or is it some troll printing copypasta?
