Yeah, no, that’s not helpful at all - what I consider cold and what my mum considers cold are very different temperatures, and what I consider hot and my neighbour considers hot has an even bigger difference.
You rationalise it with the “human scale” idea, but really you just know the range of temperatures you’re personally comfortable in, just like everyone using Celsius does.
I… no, honey, I wasn’t actually talking about men there, I was talking about how you’re deflecting criticism of Israel by equating it to criticism of individual israeli’s, by connecting your comment to the MRA movement’s constant cries of “not all men” when feminists say things like “1 in 4 women have been sexually assualted”. It’s not an incorrect statement in itself, but it isn’t any more relevent or helpful than me saying I wasn’t involved in the 1943 Bengal Famine, so it’s not fair to say Britain killed millions of Indians.
Gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you honestly do believe they’re downplaying the Holocaust - look into the Warsaw Uprising. From the small militia that initiated the attacks to the mass killing of civilians in response, it’s exactly analogous to the current situation in Israel.
We are absolutely aware of the severity of the holocaust and do not compare contemporary events to it lightly.
the right-extremist government, the child murdering military and the illegal settlers of Israel,
…who the fuck else do you think there is in Israel? Government, military, civilians, what?
Secondly, criticising Hamas is pretty problematic: they have lived their entire lives as second class citizens under a white European occupation, often literally under siege from an unprofessional military, losing their parents, siblings, and children to random attacks by settlers, snipers, bulldozers etc and being forced out of their homes into more and more crowded refugee camps. If you’d condemn people for fighting back under those circumstances, what would you say about resistance forces in WWII, Irish forces fighting the British, or Haitians throwing off the chains of their enslavers? Israel has not given them a choice about harming civilians - civilians are literally its first line of defence, spread out across Palestinian land to maintain their hold, moved into houses as soon as they are taken so any attempt to regain land necessarily involves them. You can be critical in your support, but it is a moral prerogative to condone and support Hamas in their fight against European colonialism and white supremacism.
Stop exaggerating. I live in the UK and avoid all these brands with minimal impact - drinking fresh coffee ends up being cheaper than instant, there are plenty of supermarket and non-nestle brands of sweets, dog foods, water, soap etc.
You can’t avoid capitalism, but a single company, even as big as Nestlé, is very doable. It just requires a bit of mindfulness when shopping
Yeah, I did look, most of them I’ve never seen before. Its a big list, but it covers a worldwide range of companies - most of them are specific to only a handful of countries. For dog food I can choose Harrington’s, Pedigree, Butcher’s etc, for sweets there’s Mars, Haribo, Barratt etc - I really get the impression that you’re thinking of the Big 11 companies, which are almost impossible to wholly boycott.
White brands are a different case, but I don’t even bother with off-brands of stuff Nestle makes, so I’m pretty sure I’m safe.
Not quite - observability in quantum mechanics is about the event producing an interaction that could potentially be measured, regardless of whether we actually attempt to measure it. By interacting with other things the superposition is collapsed and we can determine it’s current properties, but it’s still the “real” behaviour of things, because we can only determine things behaviours from their interactions with other things - not knowing what they do when left alone isn’t just about there not being a human around to interacts with them, but about there not being any other particles - no atoms, no electrons, no quarks - for them to interact with either.
The various interpretations help in processing the math, but isn’t the same as understanding - there are a bunch of fundamental facts about quantum mechanics that we just don’t understand, even though we know the elements exist, that they happen, and even how we can take advantage of them.
The difference between quantum mechanics and other high level theories like relativity is actually quite large, because the higher level interactions all derive from quantum level states and interactions. At the point where question marks really start popping up (weak and strong nuclear forces, gravity, dark matter &/ energy) it’s almost always a matter of quantum mechanics getting involved and being weird.
My quantum mechanics professor started our first lecture with “if you think you understand quantum mechanics you do not understand quantum mechanics”, because there are still some really big question marks around our understanding of it. Especially what in the fuck spin actually is.
Here’s a BBC article from 2014 about how Russia is completely overstating the nazi presence in the country, they just give neonazis citizenship and Azov have 3 Nazi symbols in their logo.
Here’s another one about Right Sector, an ultranationalist alliance and one of the players in the 2013 Maiden coup.
How about this incident where thousands of Nazis demanded recognition for the Nazi aligned UPA?
Funny how all the Nazis immediately disappeared when Russia invaded though. Almost like one of those whitewashing things.
