I don't know who is in the right. I would say that the important thing is that, since both of them condemn Israel's actions, and the argument about whether it's a 'genocide' is purely semantic, it isn't a useful or productive argument - serving only to divide people and distract from the real issue.

What's the typo?

The sad reality is that although there were some dissenters, the majority of the people in the country supported the Nazis because they actually believed it, they were taken in by the propaganda, which is insidious and ubiquitous. Humans find it easy to hate an out group, forming an in group. Dehumanising others who are different from us is a natural part of human psychology, and it's an achievement that in the modern world we have achieved a widespread morality which is so accepting - although obviously we still have far to go.

I also don't steal. I download my books from online copies, which is copying, not stealing.

I would have silently gone in my head ABCDEFGHIJKL and then said "MNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", but I suppose I could have said "MABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", or should I say "MABCDEFGHIJKLOPQRSTUVWXYZ"?

Come to think of it, why do our letters have a standard order, and if they have to, why that one? A better order, off the top of my head, is OUEIAPKGHXBDPTMNLWYVZSFRCQJ

Macron's pledge comes after a 14-year-old pupil fatally stabbed a staff member during a routine bag check at a school in eastern France.

This is a non sequitur. You need a better reason that that if you're going to restrict child communication and security at a place they're commanded by law to go all their childhood.

I think it's a great idea to show how the Dark Lord isn't prejudiced in the muggle way, judging people for their gender, sexual orientation, or the colour of their skin, but rather their blood purity only. A black pure blood is obviously superior to a white mudblood.

You first of all look great! Secondly, it's really brave of you to put your face on the internet like that. I'd want to get criticism of my own, but wouldn't feel secure even under a throwaway account that I delete afterwards.

What do you mean, they give open weights models back that anyone can use. Only the proprietary corporate AI is exploitative.

Every single act you do you do because you think it will benefit you in some way. Either that it will directly benefit you, or it will avert suffering, or it will make you feel virtuous, or prevent a sense of guilt.

If that's so, the angles are probably not right angles.
