Correction: Male Palestinians are considered combatants, while Palestinian women and children are shields. Anyone else feel like screaming into a void but reminded themselves to protest instead?

Dad thought taking the kid to kill a deer was therapy.

Unfortunately this trend is happening in the States even without the AI buzzwords (though it is there). You give every kid a tablet with educational apps that feed into a curriculum algo. Teachers are told by the algo which student needs help on what, basically they become facilitators to the app. Then you also have "student summarizers" which will "analyze" a student written or audio submission and flatten it down to some unform stats.

When the person you despise makes a great point.

To be fair the comic said nothing of batteries. Case in point: there are "gas engines" that are basically a generator connected to an electric motor because it's more efficient than just using an ICE. The generator is optimized for small constant torque and the electric motor delivers as much torque as the system demands.

I'm voting for Biden, but I'm under no illusion that neo liberals can fix fascism. Seeing Macron faulter to a more powerful Le Pen should serve as a warning to progressives.

Why would anyone care about the safety of others over their own safety?

As long as I can slice vegetables using my car door I don't give a damn about pedestrians.

If Austria required Slovak to register the birth of their children with them so they may later be eligible to vote, then you might be right.

DEI requirements is not nepotism, but let's take on the core issue I think you brought up: meritocracy. If you show me two people with the same level of skill and experience, I would say the one that came from the most disadvantaged environment is more qualified because they were able to get to the same level with less support.

But you brought in numbers, let me do the same. L Consider that the minority group you mentioned actually has greater barriers to participate, so those 10 people might actually perform better than 80% of the 1000 of the majority group. Assuming both groups have the same distribution of merit is a fallacy.

Was Hamas in the pants of that Shepard? (Because he was shot near the groin)
