Ppl might be reading this wrong (or am I?)

incident reported to OPCW by the Government of Syria

In this instance it looks like it was the Syrian gov who reported to the OPCW an incident where they were alleging the use of chemical weapons by ISIS against Aknaf group.

So it OPCW seems to say that the Syrian govs accusations are false

Emacs keybinds are fine, used them for some years. But once I tried modal bindings I never wanted to go back, "key-chords" just add strain.

Fortunately emacs has many options for modal keybindings, I prefer meow over vim personally

Every president is Trump. Trump is the fucking face America always had. People who say Biden is better just don't want to look into the mirror.

You're right, it is not to be overexagerated.

But honestly partys bending to pressure from the base is amongst the best things we can hope for in a bourgeoise republic in the imperial core currently

From a German perspective the Irish situation looks like a major Win, we struggle from a completely marginalized perspective currently. Palestinian solidarity is niche and is facing huge state repression. A slim majority would probably support a ceasefire, but people are silent. All partys are Zionist.

Even the leftmost party is light years away from Palestinian solidarity, after initial dogshit reactions, they were able at some point to adopt a ceasefire stance while being booed by huge parts of the party. They don't call for a stop of German weapons exports to Israel, they call for Germany to put pressure on Qatar to, in turn, stop supporting Hamas.

Whenever we try to get them to helpnus with local ceasefire protests they make up some bullshit excuse while on a national level the criticize the gov for not pressuring Egypt enough to let the Gazans into Sinai like their only fucking job is to support Zionists in their genocide without people noticing.

And holy shit, Clare Daly, it is completely unthinkable how someone as based as her manages to be elected. I don't know what'd have to happen in Germany for that to occur

Albert Einstein is one of the few idols who stood up to the test of time. As a child I looked up to him bc he was a genius and his tongue-(e)pic made him seem like a funny fuy.

Whenever I adopted a new understanding into any new field after wrestling with myself I was blown away to eventually find Einstein followed the same path. It felt like a pat on the back, like him encouraging me "I'm right there with you"

Maybe I am romantizising, but IMO his biggest genius was to not avert his eyes in the presence of contradiction as so many subconsciously are compelled to.

This made him a natural dialectitian, his relativity theory is the most fulminant dialectical thought in physics revolving around the contradiction between space and time only rivaled by the quantum mechanical contradiction between particle and wave and the contradiction between both is still the central one to be resolved.

With Einstein it is intellect, heart and fearlessness that really make him shine. He is the only person I can think of that is both held in the highest regard all over the planet and who is still massively underrated

6 weeks? They held the trifecta for 2 years! From 01/09 to 01/11.

If you give the Dems a supermajority even more Senators will have "health problems" for way longer

Look, I know my instance gives it away, but from Marxist to self proclaimed angry commie: You are dead wrong comrade.

Dems under Obama didn't not do anything bc of "enough Senators with health problems" but because they are beholden to their bourgeoise donors. In essence they are a party representing the bourgeoisie who only occasionally throw you a bone when they are pressured to do so

And you pressure them not by voting harder for them but by doing political work outside of both parties.

The harder you vote blue, the less they'll do for you!

A bit oversimplified but I like the ring of it so I'll run with it.

NaN makes for a better Chaotic Evil, QED could just as well be Neutral Evil.

However QED always stands in the bottom right corner, I guess that makes the author of this chart lawfully evil

True for all the lisps without explicit false (in the others its more or less a technicality)

Gotta love though that when lisp is concise it does so without overloading syntax
