Aw, dang it, I thought that might be a character, but I didn’t find it.
So one dog is named Rǝx and the other is just “thǝ dog.”
I thought that until just now.
The mode of a set of numbers is the number that occurs the most times in the set.
For example, in [1,4,4,4,5,6,6,7], the mode is 4, because there are more 4s than there are any other number.
Everything except cyclist. I do ride a bike, but I don’t relate to the description.
There’s a whole subgenre called “reverse isekai” that does exactly that.
Fair. I didn’t understand what OP was getting at, so I took them literally. It seemed strange to ignore that white people in the early 20th loved depictions of smiling black people in servant roles.
As for ads targeted at black consumers… now I’m curious. I know there were newspapers targeted at black readers. I wonder if they had ads.
Also, it’s not uncommon to call a creation after it’s creator (“that painting is a Van Gogh”), so calling him “a Frankenstein” works too.
That is indeed the joke, as far as know. Though I wonder if the artist was aware that the closing mechanism would usually be on the other side…
Haha, fair. But, even just based on the quote, I don’t think leftists are very known for caring what their ancestors think.
Interesting you hear the Skyrim quote that way, because I would interpret the character who says the quote to be more like a conservative nationalist.
Ah, I see. I didn’t realize there was more than one John.
John 3:17 is “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
What’s Johannes? Never heard of that book.
As an uninvolved party, after reading the thread, I understand that you feel frustrated and misunderstood. But I’m sorry to say that I feel like the failure of reading comprehension was on your part more than theirs.
It seems like the majority of people who responded to you argued that there are not two evils, but two parts to the same whole evil.
No one, that I saw, claimed you were saying that the Democrats were not evil. But the disagreement was that you see the Republicans and Democrats as two evils, while your opponents see them as one.
Whether or not you agree, that seems like a logically coherent belief to hold.
Having skimmed the original paper about the trolley problem, I think what the author was trying to illustrate was the difference between direct and indirect harm.
If you redirect the trolley, you’re not trying to kill the man on the other track. You’re trying to save the five on the first track by directing the trolley away from them. While the other man may die because of this, there’s always the possibility he’ll escape on his own.
Whereas if the judge sentences an innocent man to death, that is choosing to kill him. The innocent man MUST die for the outcome the judge intends. So there’s culpability that doesn’t exist in the trolley scenario.
In one case you’re accepting a bad outcome for one person as a side effect, in the other you’re pursuing it as a necessary step.
What about the Xindi?
Couldn’t you just add a comment that says that if the variable is false, then the person is sitting?
Or if the programming language supports it, you could add a getter called is_person_sitting that returns !is_person_standing.
