person operating the money printing machine deviously rubbing hands together:

really? what did they tell you to eat for dinner?

dun dun dun dudududun

its weird and lame middle english was killed off, particularly as theres old english available

to add a more narrowed-down starting point, i recommend everyone to look into epistemology. much of this follows from there

linguistics of color is interesting. classic example is russian having distinct words for light and dark blue as well (golubój/sínij respectively) with no generic “blue”

quick heads up regarding half as interesting, i never really watch them but on the few occasions i have its been about something i have a lot of nerd knowledge about (languages) and they got a lot of even their basic facts wrong (such as calling a phoneme a “phenome”). id take all of their videos with a hefty helping of salt

not sure how common a view this is but personally i find being well versed in art/literary/architectural history is a sign of a very well read person. knowledge in these areas usually comes hand in hand with trivia knowledge as well.

this is correct but i think op is asking the wrong question.

at least from a mathematical perspective, the claim that pi contains any finite string is only a half-baked version of the conjecture with that implication. the property tied to this is the normality of pi which is actually about whether the digits present in pi are uniformly distributed or not.

from this angle, the given example only shows that a base 2 string contains no digits greater than 1 but the question of whether the 1s and 0s present are uniformly distributed remains unanswered. if they are uniformly distributed (which is unknown) the implication does follow that every possible finite string containing only 1s and 0s is contained within, even if interpreted as a base 10 string while still base 2. base 3 pi would similarly contain every possible finite string containing only the digits 0-2, even when interpreted in base 10 etc. if it is true in any one base it is true in all bases for their corresponding digits

this guy is so utterly insane i dont know what to say. if this thing comes to fruition its gonna be a fun punching bag for literally every other country but this stuff is very sad to see, particularly as someone who wants to work in climate research/development in the future. the fact maybe one in 10000 of elons lackeys would do as much as a simple google to check what theyre even clowning on speaks volumes of how gross this shit is

speaking and typing are not comparable whatsoever

not sure if youve commented on the right post cuz your interpretation seemingly makes no sense. the article is not about hating immigrants, its about how absolutely dysfunctional and self-contradicting american policies are and how that affects americans as well as people trying to enter america.

in fact, the article makes it quite clear with

Conservative assertions about the issue, particularly those that painted immigration as an “invasion,” had failed to resonate with people on the border precisely because they knew better from living there.

that its people who dont deal with immigrants who seem to hate them the most (when it comes to republicans anyways). wonder if theres a word for that.

the article mentions multiple times that dealing with immigrants is not explicitly part of martinez’s job, but due to the nature of his position, both in terms of work and in terms of geography, its something that he has become accustomed to doing anyways and because of this he has a lot of first hand experience interacting with them and the point of the article is that immigrants deserve compassion and that the system is hell bent on denying them that, ultimately only causing problems for the american side of the border too, whether intentionally;

Later, the border became ground zero for Trump’s anti-immigration efforts, which involved separating children from their parents and forcing Central American asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico until they were given a date to appear in U.S. immigration court. Neither of those efforts had a lasting impact on the number of people arriving at the border, but they forced more immigrants to be stuck on the Mexican side for longer periods of time — and disruptions on the Mexican side of the border almost always ripple into the U.S. side.

or not;

The Trump administration tore down some of them to build sections twice as high of the “big, beautiful wall” he promised voters. But Trump left office before completing the project. Biden then came in and immediately paused construction, pledging to not build “another foot” of wall. In Del Rio, that meant that workers left stacks of construction materials behind and gaps between the panels of fencing wide enough for tractor-trailers to drive through them.

something something the road to hell is paved with good intentions

looking at your comment history its tempting to think youre trolling seeing as how you think the IDF displacing hundreds of thousands of palestinians, killing thousands of children and hundreds of volunteers is palestine “playing the victim”, but i digress

bro what are you on about. do you really think there were no equivalent problems back then weve since solved? i cant examplify because i was not alive at that time and im not read up enough but to me its obvious every time period will have their own challenges, and stop putting words in ppls mouths lol

also as a swedish person i think by far the most notable aspect is how level the playing field is when it comes to respect, primarily in schools and the like but even in other spaces.

its the norm that students and teachers are on first name basis and honorifics are almost never used anywhere. the plural 2nd person pronoun “ni” has largely fallen out of use in its other meaning as a singular 2nd person formal pronoun, being replaced with its informal counterpart “du” most of the time.

students and employees alike can freely and commonly do criticize and talk back to teachers and employers/bosses if theres a genuinely valid reason to do so and the general dynamic between different social positions is so relaxed to the point of it being fascinating. i think meeting the literal king of the country would for many people not warrant that big a change in behaviour other than obviously just being particularly nice.

as a result of this i think people have an easier time seeing each other as people rather than just as cogs of society, and being a person who struggles a lot with reading social cues its an enormous relief to so far in my professional life never had to worry a single time whether i should refer to someone as mr. or ms. or if i should be speaking in a particular register

my go to for remembering which one to use is translating the sentence to english and if “the” or “they” is correct use “de” and if “them” is correct use “dem” (remember by thinking dem = them)
