Comrade?

A local cafe near Me has a seating area inside to enjoy a coffee with friends, and a window facing outside to get a coffee on the go. There’s no car access, you have to walk there. There are always customers, many of them very busy, and it’s a much nicer place to be than this picture of a Starbucks.

Also I don’t think this is rural. There’s a six lane stroad visible on the right. This is a city. It just looks rural, because the Americans spread everything out so much. I don’t think all these shiny SUVs are on their way to a goat farm. I think the Americans are sprawling everything out with hectares upon hectares of concrete and asphalt and then claiming to be rural.

Power has clearly corrupted the Q. In humanity’s current state, power would corrupt them. Is corrupting them. In TNG, whether power would corrupt the average Federation citizen was an open question. In Discovery and Strange New Worlds and Academy, the answer was obviously yes.

In Lower Decks… once more, an open question.

They don’t want people to have sex in self-driving cars because they’re worried it will give a potentially positive technology a really bad rep.

Fuck self driving cars. I hope people have tons of gay sex in them!

How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it)

I have the opposite problem. I’m good at C and I have a mind for data structures. But I can’t stand all these libraries! Vue is the worst of the lot.

tacit endorsement

What does that even mean?

In America, 65% of the population votes. In Australia, 83% of the population votes. I’m sure Americans trust the election system less than Australians do, but does that mean anything? Or is it just useless posturing?

You all already know your system is corrupt, but you haven’t revolted. You haven’t stopped Trump. We stopped Dutton. So I think a little misplaced faith might actually be good for society. And if it’s stupid but it works, then it’s not stupid.

Teleportation. I wanna drop Trump and Netanyahu in a Iranian prison.

He was drugged, so even though the drugs made him tell the truth, he can claim they made him spout nonsense.

Hopefully being court martialled helps M’benga with his space madness

Yaaay, a badmiral!

How the SOS signal can get through if comms are going to be blocked is a question I leave for the interested viewer.

Maybe they went to the surface, sent it up through the atmosphere, and then went back inside. If the ship’s records say the SOS was last received from the mouth of this cave, it’s a pretty easy assumption. You could even send along,

SOS, SOS! We have wounded in a cave on [insert planet]! The casualties are too injured to move, and I need to go back inside to tend to them. Please help us!

So, M’benga wrote about the particles because he’s a doctor, and they can heal by expanding molecular structures like flesh. Scotty heard about this property and was like “Well can it expand atomic structures too? We could sure use some ‘healing’ on our deuterium reserves”. And turns out it can. So, think of it as a kind of smart matter that turns into whatever it touches. With gravitic containment and good aim, that principle of copying what it touches can do both jobs. And luckily, M’benga has seemingly already designed a hose nozzle smart enough to do the job on flesh. Just copy the molecules in the right places until everything is back to normal.

You mean regular polygons. A rhombus is an irregular polygon. Triangles are also all polygons. An equilateral triangle is a regular one.

Rhombuses are really commonly used in trigonometry puzzles. You know, “Here’s a bunch of lines and a couple of angles, find the angle at X.”

This is why psychologists have rules against social activities with clients

Hahaha, I’ve already reckoned with this! Good thing I have an oven mitt!

The Wikipedia also says

the term Holocaust is sometimes used to include the murder and persecution of non-Jewish groups, such as the Romani and Soviet POWs.

And I disagree, because it’s not sometimes. It’s most of the time.

Encyclopedia Brittanica: Holocaust, the systematic state-sponsored killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by Nazi Germany

History.com: The Holocaust was the state-sponsored persecution and mass murder of millions of European Jews, Romani people, the intellectually disabled, political dissidents and homosexuals by the German Nazi

See, I think it’s really irresponsible to do as Rowling does and make the Holocaust solely about Jewish people and not the other groups.

First, the etymological argument. Holocaust means whole-burning. Not Jew-burning. It’s not called the Loudaicaust, is it? Indeed, according to Wikipedia, people used to say “The Jewish holocaust” up until special importance was assigned to the Jewish persecution and people began to conflate the two.

Second and more importantly, the ethical argument. When we assign special importance to the persecution of Jewish people, we forget the historical oppression of other groups. Which is exactly what Hitler, Rowling, and Netanyahu want us to forget. All three are aligned as fascists who want to tear down history and forget the suffering of those they deem subhuman. Anti-semitism does not exist in a vacuum. It always operates as part of a broader ideology we call fascism. The ideology of all three of these people. The Holocaust is what the fascists did. They did it to many different people. Never forget.

And finally, you moved the goalposts. When you cited Jewish News UK, your position was that she didn’t deny the persecution of trans people, because that’s what Jewish News said. You’ve already lost the argument, and now you’re trying to save face for Rowling by quibbling over technicalities.

I read your article, and I found this:

claims that trans people were ‘the first targets’ of the Nazis – a claim I refuted on X, and which led to these accusations

- JK “Just Kidding” Rowling

But that’s a lie. Because she wasn’t accused for saying that. She was accused for saying this:

Rowling had to lie about what she said, because she knows that what she said is incorrect and also holocaust denial.

She has gone on to tell the same lie about why she’s being attacked multiple times, despite having been fact checked on it and arguing back against the fact checking. Because she’s a lying bigot.

And it’s not surprising that Jewish News UK printed these lies excusing holocaust denial, because they’re lying fascists. They have a track record of supporting Israel’s genocide. They like genocide, they’re fascists who print lies!
