  • Luigi Mangione makes first public statement since arrest

    Jump

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Jan 6 Capitol Rioter Tells MSNBC She Rejected Trump’s Pardon Because ‘It Was Not a Peaceful Protest, It Was An Insurrection’

  • 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.

  • Dunno what you're on about, makes complete sense to me. Just requires some mental flexibility.

  • It's simpler than all that. Satanists would say God is just You, or some version of yourself that is all the things you wish you could be. The fact that you are there praying means you have a good idea of what needs to change, and are searching for the strength within yourself.

  • "Works for me"

  • It's a handy way to convert any value to a Boolean. If window.chrome is defined and done non-empty value, double negation turns it into just true.

  • Yes! I am a bit out of it and my vision feels kinda lazy for like 48 hours after NyQuil.

  • What part about our reaction, or Luigi's, is stupid? Is it maybe, just maybe, totally justifiable anger?

  • Does it? It's not a brag, I don't think it's particularly cool or interesting. It just means I heard it from the horse's mouth and it is absolutely happening barring new legal action.

  • I have news for everyone ITT: TikTok is not leaving the US. A friend works in their North America business division, and they are fully planning to split off a satellite company that is (at least nominally) US-based and compliant with local law. They have been working on the transition for many months.
