I believe this is an act of subversion, if this kind of thing is annoying anyone. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/128082387/...

And just so we're clear, I'm not posting anything on NZ reddit atm. That is someone else who has heard me and understands _exactly_ the game we're in here. I expect that we may not agree on politics, but we agree on democracy

I shied away from the police violence videos, and snuck them in quietly later, because mainly I wanted to establish the _innocence_ of the protest, which is key for showing the _inaccuracy_ of it's mainstream media representation, and

Whether the rest of the story holds water is for the rest of society to figure out. This is the part we on the left can help with. We can demonstrate the distance we're willing to go to figure out the truth here.

For those wondering why I did this, I believe I saw an unambiguous example of left wing ideology being used to cover up a powerful display of oppression, so I felt morally obliged to destroy it.

All done now. A left wing defense.. of the right.

Basic plan to defend NZ from getting torn apart by EndTheMandates was by replacing the effective leadership in the country with the leading epidemiologist most sympathetic to the cause of the unvaccinated. Protip.

This interesting article was posted earlier by another user and quickly received 28 upvotes but was flagged, presumably for editorializing the title. Reposted without the editorializing. A reply to this comment with a link to the unpaywalle

I think that if those studies showed large reductions in transmission and infection of omicron with vaccination then they wouldn't provide the disclaimer that these studies are not good and complete . Why are the studies that show sub

Note the bait switch to Delta when transmission and infection are mentioned.

This may be the case in computer science but is definitely not the case in science/philosophy. Not doing graduate school means effectively not doing science/philosophy. We sort of scoffed at everyone who dropped out at undergrad

I love this as a verifiable implementation of a mathematically trivial, but easy to forget point. So I'm sad that when I tried to recreate the elephant scatter plot, I haven't been able to. Anyone find exact parameters that work f

This just straight up isn't true for blue collar and service work. I've worked those kinds of jobs with 12 hour shifts pretty recently, and you definitely Really Actually Literally Work 10+ hours of em'. It's kind of a

This is a good response, upvoted it. It begs another question though, is chess a worse game if white begins with a pawn on a3 instead of a2 (assuming this is the result every time the suggested procedure is used), and black moves first? May

I fail to see how this would be the case. I think it may even increase opening variety. I think you'd see many more opening with oddly position a-c/f-g file pawns, or horses thrown into the rail. I think it could make for a radica

Fair chess is trivial. The first player chooses white's move. The second player chooses whether to play as black or to take over playing as white. Problem solved. The first player is incentivized to make white's first move as valu
