It's not that it's a bad tool, it's that

it also removes human bias element from the equation

is an impossible standard.

This person probably can't decline the five declensions.

The five declension? I'd prefer not to.

he was sort of a proto-fascist

Nietzsche's political views are unclear at best. He often writes hyperbolically and ironically (sarcastically?) so quoting scattered sentences from his works proves nothing.

This is such a bizarre, absurd argument. What do those sentences, taken out of context and misrepresented, demonstrate about Nietzsche's view of Jews?

The New Testament isn't exactly considered the Jewish part of the Bible. Just on the face of it, the quotes seem to be more anti-christian than anti-jewish.

Also idk about the implication that stanning Pilate is antisemitic. He does have an absolute banger of a line.

This take on Nietzsche is particularly ironic considering that actual German nationalism was being born at the time, and Nietzsche opposed it. He broke with Wagner over all the batshit antisemitic stuff (again, Nietzsche was anti-christian, not antisemitic...).

Nietzsche famously loathed Christianity, and the slavish mentality he perceived to be at the core of the faith.

people do lose continuity all the time when they black out, go under for surgery, get concussed, and so forth

Or sleep. It can't really be avoided.

Yeah, the first game's intro literally has the US invading Canada and executing civilians in the street, while the US media praises "our brave boys fighting for our country".

I myself haven't tried magisk to get around safety net/play integrity

I recently had to do this with a phone I'd rooted a year or two ago. It only took like 20 minutes. Honestly it's not so bad, if you accept that your banking & streaming apps might stop working like once a year and you have to look up the new fix.

You can also keep an old phone as a backup for such cases. I just used an old phone for streaming for like a week when I was too lazy to fix the safety net check.

Honestly it seems like an arbitrary line, considering that Herbert's story continues for a few more books after that. The first two books could also be considered a good standalone (duology?), since they cover the span of Paul's story.

Really, the only wrong answer is the first book alone. I think most people read only the first book and get the wrong idea.

Yeah, the antisemitic comparisons I've seen have typically been in the "vermin" category. Implying that Jews need to exterminated. I guess dogs wouldn't fit the rhetoric well because people are generally sympathetic to dogs...

I know the dog comparison is used pejoratively in a couple of other languages, but the connection there seems to be to dogs barking - basically calling someone a nuisance.

Good idea. I've heard that nuking cities is a very effective way of forcing a stubborn enemy nation to surrender.

It's also preferable to a prolonged invasion and conventional bombing campaign, simply in terms of number of casualties. The number of people killed by the two nuclear bombings it would take to force Ukraine to surrender would be significantly smaller than the number of casualties incurred by a drawn out conventional invasion.

Seems like the only moral course of action for Putin to take.
