(disclaimer: I am a leftist and voting for Biden despite his policies)

It’s just the darndest coincidence.

It’s not. Go talk to your coworkers, neighbors, or fellow students. It doesn’t matter how they’re going to vote, most of them are like “BOTH SIDES ARE BAD!!! But I’m voting for [asdf] because [qwerty]” or they use it as an excuse as to why they aren’t going to bother voting. It’s very American.

Source: (Turd Sandwich / Giant douche)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7pfsneLSSM] episode of South Park aired in 2004 (FUCK! that’s 20 years ago). I was there. Everyone was like “HAHA SAME. That’s why I’m completely checked out. I’m so fucking smart.”

Listen, I’m typing this up because this sort of absolutist rhetoric is just fostering online division and you’ve gotten a lot of upvotes for it. Yes there are Russian shills (especially on Lemmy). But this is a very common opinion, and pretending it’s not isn’t serving anyone or fixing a problem. Calling people you don’t know and can’t know Russian shills is just name calling.

I’m not sure anyone has really provided a complete explanation of what is the difference between working with an absolute infinity and the way we do math normally in science and such.

Basically, no one has found the idea of using an absolute infinity to explain the world to be better than the way we deal with infinity in college courses. In college, you run across the idea that some infinite sets are larger than others (countable numbers vs uncountable). Edit - I think you could have the idea of different sized infinities and a final largest absolute infinity. It’s just that this concept isn’t useful. It would be like claiming God is purple. Nobody can prove you wrong and it doesn’t matter.

Of course, an infinite set makes sense in math, and has practical uses in the sciences, but nothing can truly be demonstrated to be unending. Another poster put it nicely - infinity is a direction, not a destination.

I recommend this video How to count past infinity by Vsauce (about 20 minutes long). It is closer to entertainment than a lecture but its pretty good. I’m only an undergrad math major but I haven’t found any real problems with this video (though, he does start talking about ordinal numbers which aren’t terribly useful to anyone that I know of, yet, except for some really complicated number theory stuff cryptographers might use, don’t ask me. cryptographers are basically wizards imho).

“You don’t seem to understand. I’m not locked in with you, you’re locked in with me!”

He installed python packages on Debian using pip instead of apt in the default environment

The author of these paragraphs summarizes it very nicely. It takes a lot of talent to break things down like this, I wish more math textbooks were written this way.

I recommend this video as well:

The essence of calculus by threeblueonebrown

…that’s fine. Kind of boring though.

Think about it: do you really think Bethesda can expand this universe in a way that wouldn’t come off as stereotyping or downright racist in another nation? Could they make a story that’s interesting and authentic? Their writing has been pretty bad lately. They’re just not up to it.

It’s a poll ran by a university. Nate Silver found this institution reliable

Sometimes polls say different things. That’s why you do more than one. Sampling different populations in different ways gives different results. There isn’t anything nefarious happening here.

It’s a poll. Mentioning that these people exist is hardly propaganda. They exist. It’s hard to strategize how to reach voters who don’t agree with you if you bury your head in the sand.

The “Arabs” are American voters. Dearborn, MI is the largest population of Muslim people outside of a Muslim-majority nation.

(It’s in the article you didn’t read)

Nueters

Oh no

how do you pronounce this? Noiters? Nooters?

Edit: it’s very nice, neat idea

I agree with the other posters. Nothing about this article is critical of Biden (or Trump for that matter).

Unless of course you think that acknowledging that some people don’t like either candidate is an anti Biden opinion… seems like a logical leap; this article is very dry.

People are allowed to be biased, anyway, this is just an internet community. Nobody here is claiming to be an objective journalist or something.

For what it’s worth, I’m entertained by people needing to tell you what they think of your copy paste. It’s fun.

Bring back forum signatures!

Tryin to make a change :-\

I suppose it might be humorous if you expect him to follow some sort of logical consistency with his insults, sure.

Fuck that orange monster.

With that out of the way, are reporters going to start telling us every time he farts in court too?

Old man with no respect for the judicial system falls asleep in court. Tune in at 11pm for more breaking news!

I’m an hourly customer service worker going to college part time as a statistician, so mostly I’d just be concerned at what sort of operation this person is running but accept the promotion.

You don’t know what you ask, traveler. My loins are too tender for you. They will surely kill you.

Correct, it does not, which is why they need to be deleted individually or overwritten.

I’m having trouble interpreting your comment. Who is cringe, my hypothetical friends? I’m just being sarcastic in my previous comment here. Maybe my delivery is off.

I think people should vote. I got snarky because I think that the way the person that I responded to has a bad take on this.

I have no idea what you mean about freedom of speech. People can choose not to vote, and I’m going to choose to try to convince them to vote. I don’t think you gotta make it weird, dude.

This is great advice. Everyone knows that as soon as you vote you can take no other action politically so the best you can do is a kick in the nuts.

All my leftist friends found out I voted and I was immediately kicked out of their clique for being uncool. At least the cops aren’t after me. They totally care about my friend’s shitposting on the internet

Hell yea!
