If they ever catch the person and their defence team argues self-defence I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

I prefer this one for obvious reasons.

I think we’re all sick of pretending that killing someone with a pen is any different than killing someone with a gun.

Preach

Welcome to Lemmy. It’s cringe incel level stuff all the way down.

little to no money would reach the actual researchers who spent months and years working in this.

Researchers often pay to get reviewed/published. Typically due to the Journal being open access, but often for things like ‘expedited review’.

Regardless, they don’t get paid for the article, relying on donations or grants to fund the research (with publication costs included in the proposal).

Asian continent: it’s the moths! We swear!

I said ‘imagine’, not ‘demonstrate’.

Imagine the kind of person who wouldn’t pardon their own child if they could. This whole thing is ridiculous.

It’s ‘great’ along the same lines as if the US gov announced paying all citizens insurance premiums for 3 years. Sure, more would temporarily have access to a service they should already permanently have access to, but in reality it shines a spotlight on how serious the problem is.

India paid $55k per journal for 3 years access… to knowledge. Knowledge that the journals did nothing to accrue themselves. If you can make that make sense then sure it is a good thing in that it is better than not having access at all or for a more egregious cost.

Not necessarily. The bombs dropped on Japan had kiloton yields. ! modern nuke would easily be in the megaton range

Thanks mom

The hymen

It hasn’t been resized. You’re seeing things.

That’s kind of the point. If you compare where the camera is in both pictures:

In the tank photo, based on that you can slightly see the top of the Tank Hull, and are looking down at the 2 service members right side that the camera is roughly in line with where the tank barrel joins with the turret. Photographer is likely standing on something, or using a tall tripod.

In the truck photo, you can see the top of the bike seat and the underside of the side mirror so the camera is roughly in line with the gas cap. Photographer is crouched.

Combine that change in height with the use of a shorter lens which quickly distorts the size (service members close and huge vs. dragged person on top of turret looks tiny) and you can see that it isn’t a truly fair comparison.

Amazing how they didn’t say shit until after the election. Almost like they want to have their cake and eat it too.

Yeah, ‘compassionate and nonviolent’ is translated to “judgmental cuck” in their language.

FTR I hate this pickup and agree with the sentiment of this photo, but I feel like there’s some skewed perspective tricks going on based on this manually photoshopped drag to relocate (no resizing of anything in photo) to demonstrate.

May 21, 1935 The Army Law expels Jewish officers from the [German] army.

It literally makes me nauseous seeing how total their control is. I don’t have the stomach for what’s going to happen over there in the next 2 years, and how bad the world is going to regress because of it.

It’s going to be a dystopia worse than anything I’ve ever read and all I can do is watch on in horror.
