If reddit and lemmy (to a lesser degree obviously) have anything in common, it's that they both desperately need perspectives from outside the US to be heard more. I mean just knowing what is meant by "foreign", shouldn't happen. Like foreign to which country? Oh of course the global hegemon again... Why is this the default on an anti-imperialist site?

It's remarkable how there are uncountably many non-normal numbers, yet they take up no space at all in the real numbers (form a null set), since almost all numbers are normal. And despite this, we can only prove normality for some specific classes of examples.

It helps me to think, how there are many "totally random" or non computable numbers, that are not normal because they don't contain the digit 1.

Yes, I also subscribe to this theory. One piece analyst Artur published it a while ago.

Do they offer that much for information on any murder? Or does it depend on your class? (rhetorical questions)

The Germans teach about the genocide they committed, because they get a sick sense of moral superiority out of pretending to have denazified.

All the while it does nothing to prevent their complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

Master-Slave-Morality

By saying humility is voluntary, slave morality avoids admitting that their humility was in the beginning forced upon them by a master.

I don't agree with Nietzsche on morality, as it's not a materialist analysis, but still... Seeing people elevate bootlicking to a religion always makes one want to overturn all of ethics. (Not unique to these cases of course, christians did it on large scales.)

Good effort comment, thanks! Are you sure about merit based evaluation for MJ? Wouldn't people just strategically exaggerate their grades?

MJ encourages honest evaluation because exaggerating grades can backfire if too many others don't follow suit.

I guess I don't quite understand this point. Why wouldn't everyone exaggerate grades?

Dolphin liberals would just tell all the dolphins to give dolphin Harris an excellent grade, insisting she was excellent in comparison to dolphin Trump. (Sorry to break out of the thought experiment.) So this:

This can help identify when all candidates are weak

wouldn't happen when all the dolphins try to game the system. Did I misunderstand?

No, but I'm not sure, it would help. I'd really like to dns block made-for-advertising sites. They have exploded because of AI. One would need to create an index of them like there already are for ads, pornography and gambling. I'm talking about the blogs full of long AI articles and pictures on every conceivable obscure topic.

San Juan Wolf carefully replacing that building, but accidentally knocking over another with his ass was hilarious and relatable.

Yes, it looks like Lego!

There is a great walking tour about Marx and Engels life in London. The guide even sang the international for us in front of the pub, where the first international met.
