Like those reviews mean anything …

They are filled with unfunny meme reviews, review bombs because they feature a gay person, or reviews from people who don’t understand how computers are supposed to work.

I’ll form my own opinion, thank you very much.

Plot twist: it’s the same house

Have you not heard of appartments before?

pewgar_seemsimandroid ,

he probably has, but it could still be for 1 person

@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Right, but then “iT’s tHE SaME HoUSe” still isn’t a plot twist. It very obviously is the same house. The question is whether it’s the same tennant.

fushuan ,

It’s not obvious that it’s the same house. House doesn’t necessarily equate building. People use house and home interchangeably, and in an apartment complex “house” can refer to a single apartment. Thus, when saying that it’s the same house they are saying that the same person owns those apartments. You might not agree with that definition of house, but that clearly what the OP is using.

madmaurice ,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

A house is a building. Do you by any chance mean household ?

fushuan ,

It’s not what I mean, it’s what the OP meant, and yeah, they meant household when saying house but that was pretty apparent by the context.

madmaurice ,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

They’re two different things though? They’re not synonyms…

fushuan ,

Well, you suggested me household and since English is not my first language I thought that that was the correct word, but it isn’t.

House in Spanish for example can mean a building, or an apartment, and I thought it also did in English, but after searching for a bit, for building it can’t be used as apartment. In any case, in the way OP used the word it’s clear to me that they mean that all the windows are of the same owner/big apartment, instead of being apartments of separate owners. Have a nice day.

(BTW, unless Cambridge is wrong house can also be used as household: (dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/…/house: all the people living in a house)

People also thought that Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine, because it was clear to them. Either write what you mean or don’t act surprised if people take what you said at face value…

This comment section is full of morons. Socialism is when workers own and operate the means of production democratically. Read a book

LemmysMum OP ,

National socialism comes with a salute and a dash of authoritarianism. But you knew that, right?

Many obviously don't know that "nazi" is an abbreviation.

Everybody will run logical circles around everything for days on days to defend their sus bullshit… until you mention socialism then all of a sudden there’s no way anythings ever been maliciously Co opted in the history of ever!

programmer_belch ,
@programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes, that’s socialism but the post is talking about another kind of socialism, of the nation kind if you know what I mean

cmbabul ,

This is a Nazi joke, the Nazi Party(while not actually being socialist in any way) was short for the National Socialist German Workers Party. And again as we all know the Nazis not only weren’t socialist but actually murdered people that were, they just co-opted the name, they were fascist authoritarians. Other countries that weren’t/arent actually socialist or communist but rather authoritarian state capitalist are the USSR and the PRC. Lemmygrad’s grade of “socialism” is from what I’ve seen, straight up authoritarian like those two “communist” countries, thus the OP is saying they are in support of the national socialism otherwise known as nazism

davel ,
@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes that is what OP is doing, because he & you don’t know your asses from your elbows about communism or Lemmygrad, as evidenced by your equating them with Nazism, which they are explicitly, full-throatedly against.

Alternate caption: “Zionists smuggling in settlers before the British mandate ended to have enough votes to create a State of Israel as a safe haven for Holocaust refugees, then getting populated mostly by Jews fleeing Arab countries out of fear of retaliation for having created the State of Israel a day early and having pushed most Palestinians out by force”

tryptaminev ,

You realize that most Israelis came from Europe after WW2?

or do you think Liebermann, Herzog, Weitzmann, Goldberg, Weinstein etc. are Arabic names?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israelis 33 % are ethnic Europeans as opposed to 12% from asia and 15% from Africa

BackOnMyBS ,
@BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world avatar

Interesting info and I’m not arguing against your point, but that source doesn’t address their point at all. The cited source covers recent demographics. The previous user is referring to events that occurred in 1947ish. The time periods are not close enough to be relevant to each other, especially considering the massive changes that occurred throughout that period in the area.

That’s kind of like if someone said that the Caribbean was entirely populated by natives when the Europeans showed up in 1492, and someone responded with demographics from the 1570s after the Spanish had established settlements in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Trinidad, and conquered the Aztecs to dismiss the initial point. The demographics are going to be vastly different. It kind of sheds doubt onto your rebuttal since there seems to be a logical disconnect.

Does anyone have any sources on the demographics right before the British invited Jewish people to move to the Levant?

Hitchie_Rawtin ,

There’s a wiki for it

Edit: which mysteriously doesn’t appear to link on my end.

Ashkenazim have European surnames because Europeans literally forced them unto Jews. Austro-Hungary, Russian Empire - both had policies for giving Jews “local” surnames (for taxation purposes). It’s how you get Jews with German surnames in eastern and central Europe (i.e.the ones you have listed), and how you get Jews with Ukrainian and Russian-ish surnames in the appropriate areas (see Abramovich, Litvak)

tryptaminev ,

And they did so in Europe. Which means that people with this family names were Jews coming from Europe to Israel and not from Arabic countries like the comment above claimed.

Corn farmers have entered the chat

ericbomb OP ,

Sorry corn farmers, this is about people food. Growing fuel doesn’t really count.

Growing corn that is only usable as animal feed counts as part of how beef industry is being propped up by the government.

So yeah… I think only one or two corn farmers will be left in the chat after that.

1847953620 ,

I think they were referring to corn subsidies

ericbomb OP ,

Correct, but the vast majority of corn subsidies are to grow corn not meant for humans to eat. They are to grow animal feed, or ethanol.

So the first category I count as subsidizing the meat industry, since it exists purely to make raising live stock cheaper. The second category doesn’t really impact food.

Grumpy ,

They’re all referring to corn subsidies.

If you grow corn with subsidy and then sell that corn as livestock feed to cows, then you’ve indirectly further subsidized beef.

Though… this viewpoint is partly misleading people. Corn stalks and pith which humans can’t eat and need ruminant animals to process is what gets fed to them. We don’t always feed corn kernels to cows en masse, though many farms do. If they can find a buyer for the kernel for other consumption (human, fructose syrup, etc), they will sell it that way as it is more profitable. So even if it wasn’t subsidized and we only produce high priced corn for humans, we’d still feed the stalks and pith to cows.

buzz86us ,

We need to fully remove subsidies on corn… Hemp is a full replacement that offers far more uses… AND it makes great fabrics to further reduce the use of polyester
