He is right. 1 approximates 1 to any accuracy you like.

Cis people have launched more missiles at people in general. Better ban any sort of similar treatments for cis military members too.

I will fucking piledrive you if you mention AI again.

Deconstructed calzone. Very rare and exotic.

Elmo dunking on losers via the cold silence of disregard. You love to see it.

You are just wrong.

The rigorous explanation for why 0.999...=1 is that 0.999... represents a geometric series of the form 9/10+9/10^2+... by definition, i.e. this is what that notation literally means. The sum of this series follows by taking the limit of the corresponding partial sums of this series (see here) which happens to evaluate to 1 in the particular case of 0.999... this step is by definition of a convergent infinite series.

My mans looks like an actual ghoul in this thumbnail. Has anybody checked if he has an actual pulse yet?

Yeah, a drunk guy crashing into an asian themed fast food restauraunt is very comparable to an ex president making promises to deport and destroy anybody too far left of his current politcal position if re-elected. These events are definitely of a similar scale and nature. Thank you for the sane comparison.

Wow. How fucking dare you? I trusted you.

These are not mutually exclusive. Believe in yourself.

Why don't you leave? Why do other people need to tolerate things for your benefit? It seems like if there is a particular kind of content the majority of your instance does not want to have around but that you still want to engage with, then the onus should be on you to leave right?

Helping "bad people"? There's nothing inherently more bad about Palestinians than any other nationality.

The humble knifoon remains forgotten :(

Don't tell me what to do.

Scotch sounds rad as fuck.

If you subscribe to classical logic (i.e., propositonal or first order logic) this is not true. Proof by contradiction is one of the more common classical logic inference rules that lets you prove negated statements and more specifically can be used to prove nonexistence statements in the first order case. People go so far as to call the proof by contradiction rule "not-introduction" because it allows you to prove negated things.

Here's a wiki page that also disagrees and talks more specifically about this "principle": source (note the seven separate sources on various logicians/philosophers rejecting this "principle" as well).

If you're talking about some other system of logic or some particular existential claim (e.g. existence of god or something else), then I've got not clue. But this is definitely not a rule of classical logic.

There's approx 14 million Palestinian people. To claim all of them are as bad as a group like Hamas is either incredibly stupid or incredibly bigoted.

Did you actually read the OP? OP is talking about specific kinds of social media that exclude Lemmy among others.

Are you fucking stupid? In what world is that a defense for rape?

You can probably actually do this reliably in cases where those political views work against the persons interests. It's not like people voting against their own interests is an uncommon phenomenon.
