@tdhopper@littmath I think what that perspective is missing though is doing all the difficult stuff first before you're motivated is more fatiguing and you'll get less learning done at a time than if you learn and solve problems at the right time when you're motivated to learn those things.
@grok@adekunlesalau10@its__prachi027 interpreting it as clothed is a valid choice, but the generation did not match the original pose or perspective at all. the hands for example are placed on the chest in the original picture and on the back of the head in the generated picture.
UN 🇺🇳 logic:
1. Before the war, there were 625,000 school children in Gaza 👇
2. Israel committed a genocide during the war
3. After the war, there are now 660,000 school children in Gaza 👇
Israel is the most incompetent genocider in history.

@nihilunbounded@nibbletonbuilds in finite groups theory they're not very important for proving things, but they're still an invaluable tool for imagining what groups there are and visualizing their structure
This is the UN's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict sharing propaganda so deranged and retarded that anyone with a half-functioning brain should have been able to recognize it for what it is... let that sink in...
@efratw@Idaneretz קופסא זה דווקא לפחות הגיוני בצורה מסוימת כי זה לא סותר את ההגייה העברית, ובעברית עדיין יש לנו צורת רבים שמגיעה מזה (אנחנו אומרים קופסאות, לא קופסות)
@bonchieredstate@Narjes_Rahmati well, even then I wouldn't say it morally justifies kicking them out of the surrounding area outside the specific land you bought, unless, of course, they rile up and start a war with you with the intent to genocide all of your people, and lose it. then they might have fucked up
@AlgebraFact it just occured to me that this yields a very nice proof of Fermat's little theorem, though Lagrange's theorem from group theory feels like the simpler argument still
A genocide is happening in Gaza, they tell us. Then scroll your feed:
Comma Cafee, just opened in Gaza City. Espresso machines, plated desserts, dim lighting.
Vanilla Café. Upscale, glass facade.
Nova Restaurant in Khan Younis: sleek wood interior, beachfront seating. Named, apparently without irony, after the music festival where 364 Israelis were slaughtered on October 7.
O2 Restaurant. pizza, ice cream, milkshakes, TikTok food porn.
Open-air markets in Gaza City with apples, avocados, oranges, bananas.
Supermarkets stocked for Ramadan with imported goods.
A "Gaza Coffee" brand selling 100% Arabica premium beans, taking online orders, with five-star reviews dated this year.
Even Al Jazeera's writer concedes the cafes "were built with expensive materials, carefully painted, furnished with tables, sofas, and elegant chairs, with glass facades and shining lights."
Now hold that next to actual genocide.
Rwanda, 1994. 800,000 Tutsi murdered in 100 days. ~8,000 per day. Hutu radio read names of neighbors to be hacked apart by morning. No one opened a café.
Cambodia, 1975–79. Khmer Rouge emptied Phnom Penh at gunpoint in 72 hours. Currency abolished. Markets abolished. Eyeglasses got you killed. Two million dead.
The Holocaust. Warsaw Ghetto: 92,000 dead of starvation and disease before the deportations even began. Auschwitz processed 6,000 people a day into smoke. There were no glass-facade espresso bars in Łódź in 1943.
Srebrenica, July 1995. 8,372 men and boys executed in days. No restaurants reopened. They were in mass graves.
Armenia, 1915. Death marches into the Syrian desert. No imported avocados.
The common thread of genocide is that the targeted population is not allowed to exist. Not in cafes, not in markets, not in their homes, not anywhere. The perpetrator's entire project is their absence.
Gaza in 2026, by every honest description, is something else: a brutal war zone, partially destroyed, with a population suffering real hardship and simultaneously a place where new businesses open, beachfront restaurants serve customers, and a post war economy is being written about in business pages. Both things are true.
That is what war looks like. Lebanon 2006. Mosul 2017. Mariupol 2022. Aleppo 2016. Civilians die and life adapts around the destruction.
It is not what genocide looks like.
So why the word?
Because "genocide" is the most powerful word in the post-WWII moral vocabulary. It triggers automatic legal obligations, suspends normal debate, and short-circuits proportionality analysis. Apply it successfully and your adversary loses the right to defend itself before the argument even begins. That is exactly why it is being deployed by a side that started a war on October 7, took hostages, embedded itself in hospitals and schools, and now needs the West to force a ceasefire it could not win on the battlefield.
It is asymmetric warfare with a thesaurus. The rockets failed. The tunnels failed. The word might not.
Coffee in Gaza doesn't prove there is no suffering. It proves there is no genocide. Those are not the same claim and the people conflating them are counting on you not to notice.
@psychiel@carl_feynman take straight line. line short. make line very zaggy (large slope) in very short intervals back and forth (remain very close to original straight line).
line has become very long
@psychiel but if the slope of the function is made very big you can get as much length as you want going almost all in the direction perpendicular to the progression of the line, and by zagging back and forth like this you can always have arbitrarily large slope zagging back and forth
@psychiel now maybe you think I was only able to cheat by repeating the same way again and again in some sense by going in loops, but the graph of a function shouldn't be amenable to the same behaviour that a general continuous curve is
@Naila_Ayad besides the fact this picture obscures the hebrew writing on the coins, this coin was literally the coin used by a british colony. your idea of a palestinian state that has coins you can provide an example of is literally a colonial entity.
