Common core made an effort to teach kids to think about numbers this way and people flipped the fuck out because that wasn't how they were taught. Still mad about that.

If you want to learn more about it than is frankly reasonable, Jamie Loftus recorded a detailed history including an interview with Naomi H.

I get not voting for Harris. Voting for Trump, though? That's contemptible.

Even if his quote was historically accurate, it would still be abhorrent. And if you pointed out his mistakes, he wouldn't have reconsidered his views. He didn't hate Jewish people because he incorrectly thought they were cowards, he incorrectly thought they were cowards because he hated them.

none were reasons that merits killing jews

Yes, because there is no reason that merits killing anyone based on their ethnicity.

It was a joke about Jewish space lasers. I apologize to anyone I alarmed or offended.

Necessary clean energy. Asked and answered.

Easier travel is definitely a great reason to increase density. Walking & biking > cars

If the island were 100 times larger, the houses would take 1% of the land area, leaving 99%. The apartment complex would take up .04%, leaving 99.96%, which isn't much of an improvement. The proportions of our planet are much closer to my scenario than this made up island. That's a reason why we might not "prefer apartments in our own town."

There are good reasons you might want density, this just isn't one of them.

migrants were capturing the geese from the local park pond and eating them

This is totally fine by me, I don't see the problem

::: spoiler antisemitism

There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason. I mean, if you and I were in a line moving towards what we knew were gas chambers, I’d rather have a go at taking one of the guards with me; but they (the Jews) were always submissive.

Came here to say this. Cops kill just so many dogs.

Good question! I have heard that there are people who exchange money for labor, and I require money to purchase basic necessities such as food and shelter

IIRC that's a plot in Beasts of Burden. It's a good read regardless. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7703037-beasts-of-burden

Remember kids, when brown people do something bad, it's terrorism. When white people starve an entire population after a failed occupation, that's just because we are very concerned about misogyny. Now, starving an entire country en masse has (to my knowledge) never caused a government to be overthrown, and in this case has no chance of improving the treatment of women in the country. Nor have women in Afghanistan ever asked for sanctions, nor do they support them now that they are in place. But don't let that fool you in to thinking we're doing it for any reason other than to help women in Afghanistan.

Before you respond, please take a look at my post and notice I said _nothing positive about the Taliban _. This is about the disingenuous use of women's rights to excuse and even celebrate mass starvation.

Next you're going to tell me you can solve homelessness by giving people housing
