Aren’t cicadas already sex-crazed?

Thank you for adding. These details were not available at the time of posting.

I don’t think they would be dwarf planets, but something else.

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined in August 2006 that, in the Solar System, a planet is a celestial body that:

1 is in orbit around the Sun, 2 has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape), and 3 has “cleared the neighbourhood” around its orbit.

A dwarf planet must meet 1 & 2. Are Jupiter’s smaller moons round?

Jupiter has rings, so any planet would have to have cleared the rings around their orbit. I think that applies to the Galilean moons. Juno orbits outside the solar plane, so I’m not sure if that is a rule for a planet or not.

No cream for me please.

I don’t know that the History Channel is a good representation of academic consensus. It should basically never be relied upon.

That’s prehistory. Everything we know about history comes from written accounts. Historians study written documents and argue whether or not the available evidence makes it more likely that something (or someone) was real or fiction.

Most historians agree that there was a Jewish man named Jesus (yehoshua), who preached in Judea and the Galilee in the early first century, who gained followers and was crucified by Rome. There are also historians who examine the same evidence and conclude it is more likely that no such person existed, because that’s how academia works.

Yes.

Why label it if it is trivial to avoid the label?

Doesn’t that mean that bad actors will have additional cover for misise of AI?

But just look at this brief period following “every” when everything was less fucked and everyone sucked less! If only we could recapture that particular moment!

Update: the soldiers involved are being investigated and the IDF has admitted wrongdoing.

Update: The soldiers involved are being investigated and action will be taken.

Fact check: Israel left Gaza in 2005, removing all Israeli settlements and military installments.

It’s been clear and consistent since day 1 of the war. Israel wants the return of the hostages taken on Oct 7, the removal of Hamas from power, and the inability for Hamas or any other group to repeat a deadly attack within Israel.

That was the goal on Oct 7, that’s still the goal. Anything else is just politics and propaganda.

Now, how effectively they have done so, and the methods they’ve employed are another discussion entirely.

Lebanon (at least Hezbollah in Lebanon) began attacking Israel on Oct 8 in solidarity with Hamas. Things have gradually been escalating since then.

It’s also worth mentioning that Russia and China have been caught manipulating online conversations, spreading misinformation, etc. The USA does it too, and probably a lot of countries. One of the most effective ways to gain geopolitical ground is to spread political division within your rival.

Internet makes that easy, especially when profits line up. Creating information bubbles and ragebait pays the bills.

The fringe has been growing with online organizing since the 1990s. You happened to have a strongman politician who sensed that there was a large disenfranchised group of radicals/conspiracy people, who was able to capitalize on them before anyone else.

The point is that a hate crime, by definition, harms a community of people. The fact that Arab Americans, and specifically Palestinian Americans are being targeted with violence is relevant here.

I use FFUpdater, but I’ve been planning to switch to obtainium, so I’m definitely following this.

The victim was a Palestinian American. They shouldn’t bury that in the article. Completely irresponsible.
