I remember seeing posts written in Russian ridiculing the Russian government when a protester was arrested and charged with assault for throwing a plastic cup at an officer. That was around six years ago. History does repeat itself, quite often even.

I think it was a moral necessity to wish death to the nazis back in the forties.

A stock photo of a smiling white man, looking at the viewer while holding a clipboard. He seems to be a researcher of some kind. I photoshopped a colourful "autism puzzle piece" logo and the text "We listen!" into the image. The vibe of the entire image feels fake and condescending.

This is why I understand thermodynamics better than mechanics: thermo is just so transparent in this sense. You can see how abstract laws of thermodynamics get converted into rigid mathematical structures. It's all mental gymnastics. Theoretical mechanics don't have the same kind of feel to it.

I treat an area of science as understood when I can notice how and why the key definitions of that field were constructed. This is the reason why math is so much easier to understand for me than physics: physicists often escape such critical analysis by the usage of words like "it's obvious".

I believe this is the one, but I'm not sure. All reproductive human cells look small to me.

A spherical collection of stars which fills the whole view. The cluster is dominated by a concentrated group of bright white stars at the center, with several large yellow stars scattered throughout the image. Many of the stars have visible diffraction spikes. The background is black.

diffraction spikes? you mean telescope astigmatism?

I have a firm understanding of basic math.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ“š

Me too, but at a point she says "the answer is no", which makes me wonder whether the author considered the other possibility.

Just realized that the Christmas classic "Baby, It's Cold Outside" may be an example of either flirty teasing, or of "consent" under pressure; and something is telling me the author of that song didn't really consider the difference.

LoTT has never wished death on anyone. You have. But even if there were symmetry (there isn't), saying "they're just as evil as I am" doesn't help you here.

So glad to see Fox News and LibsofTikTok condemning violence against healthcare CEOs. As we all know, the only acceptable calls for violence are against random gay teachers and trans people.

Leftists love violence. They see it as the "speech" of the oppressed, who otherwise have no voice.

Kill a homeless Black man = heroism

In addition to that, my library provides study resources, online courses about various academia-related skills, computers with access to millions of scientific papers and prepaid programs. You can do group projects, personal projects, or just read literature in a comfortable and quiet environment.
