What’s the hook? Why should I watch it?? Willing to take 1.5 hours for it, but nothing online about it has hooked me into wanting to

When you’re right, you’re right. I thought this was a veto-able vote. Still stands that the difference between no and abstaining is nothing in these cases. I’d bet the Israel representative went to the bathroom or something.

To be fair, this sort of thing just doesn’t matter. Though if it’s unanimous, it would give in to the idea that the UN has some role in the matter (as opposed to just preventing wars as much as possible between members), and so the list of countries that want the US to be the real leader just switch off breaking unanimity to prevent that idea from being too deeply planted.

I will happily watch it on illegal and ad-free streams. Will also be proselytizing this strategy among everyone I know (as I always do, but extra now)

We can all hate Chomsky, and should, but saying his linguistics has been discredited it absurd. This sounds like saying “Marx was so wrong that an entire field of political economy had to develop to prove all that he got wrong.” (I used Marx as a common point we all have, not to argue equivalent value between the contributions) He caused a significantly large shift in thinking which caused the field to develop further than his initial thesis, sure. I think several of his claims have been shown to be “too strong” but that’s very different from just being horribly wrong.

I’ve argued it here before, most people really misunderstand the value of the “universal grammar” argument. And I think often attribute a much stronger claim to Chomsky than he was making. It’s useful to think of humans as predisposed to certain rational/logical connections between the experiences they have at a very young age. And language has that logic built in at some deep level as universal ways that concept connect. It was just a shift from linguistics as descriptive to something which could make wider predictions. Often wrong, but it’s developing like any other science.

Attack Chomsky for being a pedophile and/or pedophile supporter. Attacking his linguistics only makes us seem clueless.

Also attack Chomsky because he’s a chauvinist unwilling to consider contribution by non-stereotypical-academics to revolutionary theories.

Others abstained for various reasons. Israel because the US would veto it anyways so who cares.

Is that true? There was famously a lot of industry in Ukraine, but like space shit was mostly in southern Russia and Kazakhstan, right?

Well that makes it sound super cool. If this were all it was I’d be 100% for IP Theft machines lol

I vote for pulling that british bullshit where we push it into an abstract version of itself: “Hussein”

because the name is so weird lol. Proven-wrong is not anything I would associate with it lol. And I still haven’t figured out how to search through all the emojis, but that’s on me :)

Comedy can only become more esoteric, and the window can only move that way, I think. That because comedy moves twoards novelty, and novelty and esoteric are the objective and subjective sides of the same thing

True, just double hyphen and don’t let it correct to dash–good and novel idea

I kind of agree; however, coordinating conjunctions are best

Goddamn I used to think dashes were so cool and now they’re ruined

Cause and effect must be clear though: meming likely follows the same material conditions which result in fascism also becoming more open in recent years

No capital letters, only a comma as punctuation, the last sentence is technically just a fragment. It’s beautiful

Poetic. This would be tagline material if there were anything about leftists in it hahaha

“alive”.

Jk good job ignoring grammar. I believe you, you have been deemed not AI for this comment. Until AI reliably does shitty grammar in a totally human way, I will believe this

edit: realized this sounds harsh. I really do mean the ‘good job’ because it’s a very human comment. No need to pay attention to the bullshit parts of grammar when you can be understood so well without them. I’ll eat my boot if it was actually AI lol

You forgot the ‘a’

I’m just going to let it go and assume everything is AI unless it is proven otherwise. So if you want me to believe anything you do is real, you gotta fuck it up a bit how an AI will never do. Use a sentence structure unheard of til now or something lol

Well, I guess, to be fair, Christians do believe that men are made of dirt and women of ribs, so that’s consistent at least
