There is no general convention in mathematics and linear algebra to index from 1. It highly depends on the department and person and it’s becoming more common to index from 0.

Nah I won’t spy on my neighbours, and I live in an apartment complex. Cameras make people even more paranoid from what I’ve seen, and I’m kinda glad that my country has strict rules on them so they’re not everywhere (yet).

I’m afraid that someone will break into my house. It’s a completely irrational fear but that knowledge has never helped me. I panic from each weird sound I hear when I’m alone while if someone else is in the house I don’t worry and just assume the sound comes from them. I barely have any expensive items so I’m mostly just scared of the possibility of a physical confrontation. I think I developed this fear from watching too many detective shows as a child.

Being the only person in protective gear at a protest can sometimes lead to being singled out and beaten harder by the police. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, just something to keep in mind.

I was referring to the last time we had a discussion on hexbear about a possible refederation with blahaj which was a few months ago. The drama around the defederation wasn’t really relevant for that discussion as it was a long time ago. Blahaj’s admin is open to federation with hexbear because we have a huge trans community and it would be nice to connect them with the community in blahaj, but due to the issues I mentioned it’s not really in the best interest of our trans community to federate.

Chasers are people who fetishise trans people. Trans spaces often attract people who won’t stop talking about our body parts which gets very uncomfortable.

Hexbear has very tight moderation to make sure it’s a comfortable place for minorities and people who don’t like interacting with racism, misogyny, transphobia etc. I browse blahaj.zone occasionally and its moderation is just not good. The trans communities attract chasers which makes me not want to post there, and in 196 I regularly come across posts that are misogynistic or transphobic and have been up for days. I always report them and they often (not always) get deleted after like a day, which in my opinion is too late because the harm has been done (a 2 day old post should have been removed whenever a mod came across it).

On hexbear I’ve not seen posts that were so blatantly misogynistic or transphobic, and posts get removed much faster. This is why many trans people in our community don’t want to federate with blahaj.

Your solutions offer little help to immunocompromised people who are often afraid to leave their house because covid could significantly worsen their disability or kill them. They also do not help us today to prevent more people from getting a disabling disease called long covid.

It just means phone is in sleep mode so you don’t get notifications.

You can divide the debate into several topics and let the candidates choose for which topics they’d like to be included in the debate. Something like 5 candidates per topic is a bit more doable but obviously it would still not be as easy to follow as a debate between 2 candidates.

Yeah I get that, but I don’t think anyone can realistically expect military pagers would not be used by civilians. This whole attack imo is indiscriminate by definition because Israel had really no way of confirming where the pagers actually ended up and thus took a huge ‘risk’ by letting them explode without that knowledge.

It’s a terror attack. If they didn’t want civilian casualties they wouldn’t have taken this outrageous route.

She’s a multi millionaire, not as rich as the others but still definitely not part of the working class.

I think that for most people the best way to radicalisation is to find something that they care about. As fucked up as it seems, I don’t believe we can get everyone to care about the genocide and if we can, then it’s not the most efficient way to radicalisation. If your friend does not care about what’s happening in Palestine (it seems like he’s getting so much contradicting information from you and his father that it’s becoming too complicated for him to form an opinion) then it’s probably better to focus on something else.

You say that he cares about abortion rights which is a great entrance point to talk about the self determination of people over their own bodies that is being infringed upon by transphobes and misogynists.

He probably also cares about his work conditions that he likely has no say over, and the fact that his hard work is used to enrich others. Everyone should be aware that they deserve the fruits of their own labour, it’s something that most people will agree on if you talk to them long enough.

Depends on if the integral is integrated in the text or if it gets its own area

The kind of people I knew who would post their picture on roastme or similar subs did it as a way of self harm. Racism and sexism are also normalised in those subs. Bad vibes.

Yes. I have a personality disorder that makes me want everyone to like me so I’m always nice (sometimes to the point of being flirtatious) to strangers and people that haven’t offended me greatly. Obviously it doesn’t work on everyone.

Very cool, do you know who made it?
