“Value pluralism”.

Yeah, but your problem there is that trump has no values other than “tell me I’m great and get me more money”, and his supporters have no values other than “fuck people that were born with darker skin than me”.

You can’t rescue democracy by trying to big tent with these haters.

“My fellow Reform members and I believe that our young people should be protected from exposure to potentially harmful ideologies”

The whole f*ing Reform platform is a toxic and actively harmful ideology. Projection as usual from the far right.

Take my angry upvote and get out.

America fought for independence from Britain because the wealth of the nation was being sucked away and spent for the whims of a handful of wealthy people, and because the people were powerless to chose who the government was. If you factor in the insane number of insanely Gerrymandered districts and significant quantities of votes going through Musk’s servers with no external scrutiny, a broken electoral college and a supreme court intent on deleting the constitution starting with section 3 of the 14th amendment (and now moving on to the rest of it), removing religious freedom, I see everything that the founding fathers fought for and everything that the civil war was fought for being stamped on by one deluded racist moron and his crazy sycophants and enablers. It was never really freedom from slavery anyway when you have such vast numbers of black men working for no wage in profiteering private prisons for decades just for smoking some pot or stealing some groceries while rich men who do drugs or steal tens of thousands get a slap on the wrist.

Thank you so much for taking the time to summarise and explain all this. I have really enjoyed having a little window into your remarkable world.

Thank you, that was very interesting. I was surprised at the definition of the basic open sets because they felt quite closed to my intuition, so the topology feels discrete to me. It’s definitely Hausdorff, I guess, but that’s no big deal. I’m guessing if you’re saying it uses a lot of the axioms, it uses the axiom of choice. It feels like that kind of arena, but I’m no set theorist. Having been taught by ring theorists, I always found the axiom of choice no big deal and totally uncontroversial, but I’m aware of the existence of mathematicians who feel otherwise, intuitionists (confusing name) and constructivists and the like. Do set theorists have a lot of debate about axioms, is it largely led by consensus, or deeply controversial, or just a case of making clear which you’re using and no one gets excited about it?

I criticised your offensive behaviour and that’s automatically ad hominem in your view? I think we disagree about what that word means, or you know full well and are still trolling. Why are you so intent to upset trans folks in this thread? Do you not feel they get enough hate already?

Indeed, indeed. But if you live in America, you should know that legal immigrants who attend protests are having their green cards rescinded, then their legal status removed, and then abducted by ICE. By the time they get to you, there will be no one left to protest.

Let’s assume I can prove the countability and non countability of various famous sets and, for example, that (a^b)c = a^bc for cardinalities. What’s determinacy?

OK, back in the real world, you’re spending a lot of time trolling. Why are you so full of hate?

Loving the projection here.

devil’s advocate

Yup. That’s standing out in your “contributions” to this thread. Whatever is nasty, whatever is offensive, whatever will upset trans people, you’re here to say it.

As if you didn’t realise that bringing up pedophilia in a thread about trans people wasn’t incendiary and grossly offensive

For flags or plushies? I don’t get why this all makes you object so hard. You seem like you came here to be cross and it’s working.

I’m not trans, but I guess it says blue becomes pink or there’s no colour or pink becomes blue. I think you’re overthinking it. It’s too late to change it now anyway, it’s probably the most recognised pride flag there is. No sense getting stressed over a few colours.

I had the exact same reaction.

If that is a dick, it looks like it has some very serious STDs.

So… the dead server controls who is even able to enter the building? Wow. That is one big juggernaut of a problem heading for you.

Yes, and that’s not even under the table.

Yup. Companies avoid paying taxes in one country by getting their divisions in other, lower tax countries to charge the one in the high tax country so much for intellectual property and branding etc that they make a loss in the high tax country, which in some countries entitles them to a tax rebate. It’s insane.
