  • Last poll for Paris 2025 elections. Second round. The anti-car candidate is at 36%.

  • I engaged with what you said, I said I dont think it's right to base whether something is a slur based on the root meaning of the word. I think that's incorrect and a little ridiculous.

  • Because I think you were wrong? In fact I find your original argument kind of ridiculous.

  • I said slurs can be based on colour and you're saying that I pretend that communist were not persecuted, do you see why I'm confused?

  • The N-word is related to colour, I dont get it why that matters whether something is a slur or not.

  • Consider me asking for help then. I've read the wikipedia article on war crimes and it says nothing about the reasons you gave. I've wathced a YouTube video before about war crimes that made me think that this probably wasn't one but watching a video obviously doesn't make me an expert and I hope you believe me when I say that I honestly want to find out whether this was a war crime or not.

  • I don't think these make this a war crime but I'm not an expert, can you show me an article describing or explaining it as such. Like I'm not interested in whether it was right or moral (it wasn't) but as far as I can tell it wasn't a war crime.

  • Why do you think it's a war crime?

  • Can you disprove all mediums? What if someone has an experience with them that they can't explain but felt powerful and they made a personal choice to believe that they did talk to a dead relative.

  • it is not irrational, to observe (or experience) something and not being able to explain it.

    I agree, and that's where I would stop, I can't explain it, I don't know what this is.

    I think in general it matters what we believe to be true or not, you might think that in a certain situation believing a false thing can result the same (or better) way than not believing but beliefs are not restricted to certain situations and will inform our decisions elsewhere, maybe with more dire consequences. A quick example would be mediums who pray and scam grieving people out of time and money.

  • Isn't it irrational to believe in things that cannot be proven or disproven?

  • Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses

  • I assumed from the letter that by issuing a new licence they mean they give you a new one for free but according to news articles they will not.

  • US to withdraw from NATO under Republican bill

  • Maybe it sucks holding the country or building new relations but it excels at invading it and did it successfully in Afghanistan as well.

  • US to withdraw from NATO under Republican bill

    Jump

  • You're right, let me rephrase that. The US is the only NATO country with living experience in invading non-neighboring countries with current methods, doctrines and technologies. That's not a simple thing to do and that know-how is extremely valuable if you want to invade someone else.

  • US arms are still flowing to Ukraine and the sanctions against Russia still stand. I'm not saying things haven't gotten worse under Trump but it's clear that the US still has an anti-Russia policy.

  • Russia has an army that is capable of invading another country. The only country in NATO that have done that is the US. I don't think Russia invading the whole of the EU is a realistic possibility but grabbing a few ex Soviet countries off the border...

  • Why do you think that? How would losing half the military assets and technology would benefit NATO?
