''The founding of Israel was based on displacement of Palestinians''- Look, I don't want to minimize that at all because people losing their homes is fucking terrible but that doesn't mean the solution is expelling Israelis now. There was a population exchange between Greece and Tuurkey in 1922. Both sides ethnically cleansed people. It was a terrible thing to do. But both Turkey and Greece exist now as two seperate states with clearly defined borders (if you ignore some shit erdogan tries to pull in the agean). And you don't question Greece's or Turkey's right to not be wiped off.

''Israeli identity is fake because it was based on smth that happened 3000 years ago!!!''- Ok sorry to break it to you but us Greeks have made our entire national identity revolve around who we were 3000 years ago. And if you want to argue abt fakeness of identity I would argue ours was a less organic one. Jewish people maintained the same religion and basic belief systems for 3000 years. They continuously felt the connection with Eretz Yisrael. We switched to Orthodox christianity from whatever 12 god shit we had, we lost most of our literacy that allowed us to keep tpuch with ancient texts, we embraced so many customs from the Ottomans and YET it was still valid when we tried to reclaim our ancient greek identity to build a nation partly on the basis of that

''European colonial powers helped prop up Israel which means it is an imperialistic state!''- Do you think Greece got independence or gained more land purely through OUR military strength lol?

You know what? Good job.

Other people said this post had thousands of notes in their mind, but only contributed two notes.

You? You said that it had 100k gators to you.

And then you did it.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

Employees and developers working on Magic: The Gathering Arena say they were hired with promises of remote flexibility, so they bought homes and built lives around those assurances. But they say they are now being told they may need to relocate to Washington state — or effectively lose their jobs.

So I’m a bit confused here. This equation doesn’t actually match the picture?

I found this: 

For context, I’m a maths nerd. And as soon as I saw this little fandom phenomenon, I had to check it out. So I popped over to Desmos, and typed it in. But the given equation:  y = -(sin(x^(1.7/6)+4)+(1/x))+10 (for 1<x<12) doesn’t give the curve as shown? It’s actually a pretty straight looking line?

I tried widening and shortening the window. I tried radians and degrees. Nothing worked. @vincent–van–ghoul​​ also talks about this in their Ackles Ass Equation 2.0 peer-reviewed post. 

Then I saw it. This post gives a picture of the equation, but without most of the parentheses.

And there it is! The answer! A most unfortunate one to anybody who tattooed this on their bodies or something.

The equation, as passed around, looks like this:  y = -(sin(x^(1.7/6)+4)+(1/x))+10 (for 1<x<12). I know all those parentheses are gross, but it translates over to this:

But the pictured graph comes from this equation:

Somehow, parentheses got added to the equation as it got passed around, which puts the 6 up into the exponent. 

So, the parentheses version of the equation should look like this:  y = -(sin(x^1.7/6+4)+(1/x))+10. Due to order of operations, you could just drop the parentheses around the (1.7/6), or you could move them to be around just the (1.7) or the (x^1.7). As long as the 6 is not in the exponent. 

And then you get this:

The famous curve is pictured in red. The graph for the famous equation is pictured in blue for contrast. 

Later during my 6-month employee review, the same supervisor said, "sometimes when you correct people, you can come on a little too strong and intimidate or offend people."

We went over the specific instances he was referring to, and I said, "I don't think I was unfair or too harsh in any of those situations. I think I was just straightforward for clarity."

He said, "maybe you don't realize your tone is too harsh because you're Autistic?"

So there it is.

If someone's very obviously singling you out to be outright cruel and unfair, you must give them the benefit of the doubt, because you're Autistic and cannot understand.

If you're being straightforward and normal, but someone thinks you're being unfair, you do not get the benefit of the doubt, because you're Autistic and cannot understand.
