It's happening on every post and I'm wondering if I'm missing a lot of discussion elsewhere due to it.

Haven't actively listened since 2020 but I think I remember they had good takes on Trump's murder of Soleimani

Am I meant to assume a_i is defined the same way as a_n for each of 1<= i <= n-1 ?

If so, I think I see the proof by induction on n, but the question just says a_i is defined for each 1<=i<=n-1, not that it is defined in that way. Is the question just overly vague or am I missing something obvious?

If only a_n is defined as the greatest integer such that the sum from 0 to n of each a_i/k^i is <=x, then I think there are counterexamples to the hypothesis, right?

Like if x=0.32, k=2, n=2, then a_0=0, and the inequality is satisfied by a_1 = 2 > k-1 = 1 and a_2 = -3 < 0.

What does that mean, how can he be excused from military service if the military is already volunteer only?

I don't even use a VPN. It still allows me to view subreddits and my own account, but this happens when I try to enter a comment section. Fuck reddit, I hardly ever post there these days, but damn it I do need access to the information in their comments sections pretty often for a variety of reasons.

What's more, it's only happening on Firefox. I downloaded and installed chrome and everything is normal on that browser.

Edit: Clearing cookies fixed it. Leave it to reddit to give you a page that's like "lol fuck you we banned you piss off" whenever their site has a bug and shits the bed

I have a few days worth remaining, I need to refill it by Tuesday. This is a life saving medication for me, and I'd really appreciate it if any comrades here would be willing to pitch in, even if that's just by bumping this thread.

I'm still looking for work, and that has been grueling as an autistic person who can't drive. Shit really sucks right now. I'm sure I'll find another small business tyrant willing to exploit me eventually, but in the meantime I do need to put together money for my meager living expenses, currently have just two dollars to my name. Thankfully I live a very a frugal lifestyle and my medication is my biggest monthly expense after food.

So if anyone would like to give me a hand, my cashapp and venmo accounts are under the handle cosecantphi. DM me for paypal or zelle information.

Edit: Goal reached! Thanks so much to the generous comrades who pitched in and to our wonderful comrade bumpers here on c/mutual_aid! heart-sickle

Every laptop I've ever owned has been at the 500USD or less price point, and every laptop I've ever owned has had some kind of catastrophic structural failure in the chassis that causes the entire thing to gradually disintegrate after about two years, like clockwork.

Like, that must absolutely be something they do as an explicit design goal that forces you to buy a new disposable laptop just after the standard warranty expires, right? It's not just me being bad at computer or something?

I also appreciate bumps very much!

Sorry for another repost, comrades. No idea what I would do without my online commie friends as I affectionately describe all of you to the people in my life. Still need help with this one from yesterday, though:

Still job hunting, I can't wait to find myself a new small business tyrant to exploit me various unacceptable ways in return for the ability to live a somewhat more dignified life.

Last one fired me literally within the first month in November after a schedule misunderstanding wherein I missed two shifts because somehow my piece of shit boss had literally just put me on the schedule for the next two weeks, but still expected me to be literally on-call to do my part time job of working the register at a convenience store on days not on the fucking schedule.

I can't drive, and I'm autistic, so this finding a new job thing has been taking a lot longer than I had wished or hoped.

If anyone wants to help me out on this, my cashapp and venmo accounts are both under the handle cosecantphi. DM me for paypal or zelle information. Any little bit is very much appreciated! Bumps too!

Literally did it on impulse without even thinking about it so I wouldn't chicken out, so I blurted it out.

I said "I'm bisexual. I like both men and women. No more anti-gay stuff from you, ok?".

He said, "oh go away, you don't know what you like". I think he'll understand eventually, he needs time to think.

EDIT: Showed him this thread.

I said: "Look, this is what I said to you, these are my online friends who are happy for me that I came out as bisexual."

He said: "Oh you don't know what you're talking about, you've never had sex with a man or a woman before, until then you'll never know."

And yeah, I am still holding on to my v-card at 26. I was insecure about that years ago in high school, but I'm honestly glad I've waited to mature first.

Like what is the ultimate fate of the voyager probes and others on escape trajectories? My understanding is that space is far too sparse for these things to ever hit anything by coincidence, so their eventual fate is probably to be ejected out of the galaxy at some point.

They are then unlikely to be moving fast enough to actually cross intergalactic distances quickly enough for the expansion of space to not outpace the distance covered, leaving them in this void forever.

How long would they be recognizable as technological objects before the eons worth of stray hydrogen atoms erode everything away?

From where I'm sitting, it looks like death should not be the end in that case.

You can't perceive the passage of time when you are dead, so you're just going to experience dying and then immediate rebirth after the countless eons pass for that rare moment where entropy spontaneously reverses to form your mind again.

With all the other shit going on in the world right now, watching this guy just get away with executing one of our rulers on camera and totally finessing the cops on his way out has been such a glorious and singular ray of hope. I hope our guy is doing alright, wherever he is now.

[-] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 83 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Given the circumstances I'm sure he's a nervous wreck right now, but I hope the widespread celebration of his deed is at least taking the edge off for him.

Really hope our guy gets away with it, without his identity the media won't be able to tear him down and smear him and spin this all as some sort of personal and isolated event. Escaping like a ghost is pretty much the best an adventurer can hope to achieve. If the guy is never found he'll likely end up a big inspiration for copycat cases.

Just really hope he didn't have his phone on him

After this, I will never again fail to mercilessly dunk on any liberal who blathers on about how DPRK, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela are rogue, irrational states. Not while Israel continues to exist in any capacity other than as a terrible memory. This apex reactionary state is the perfect definition of everything liberals complain about in US state enemies, yet Israel's inalienable right to commit war crimes and genocide galore with US weapons and funding is forever unquestioned.

At what point does it become comical even to the unobservant libs who think Russia invaded Ukraine out of nowhere in 2022? How can one think that is a moral black hole beyond the point of no return, yet also apparently that the Israeli invasion of Lebanon is complex and nuanced?

I'm sorry, I hardly use non-Hexbear social media anymore, and day by day I get more incredulous that the garden variety western libs continue to exist like this with no sign of slowing down.

Does the photographic evidence of this hog being a Nazi become fake just because it was posted by RT?

That tracks. A forum where most people speak English but have political views in alignment with a lot of the global south is nigh unheard of. Lately I've been thinking that we might start getting attention for it from the wider internet just because of how unique this place is

Damn, that's really cool, I'm actually in a similar situation. Found out some months back that my landlord uses Hexbear when I saw him pull up the site on his phone while I was requesting that he fix the broken heater and leaky roof in my apartment. I brought it up and instantly he seemed just as happy as I was to have randomly come across a Hexbear comrade in the wild. What are the odds, right? Anyway, turns out he's an ML! Now we hang out, watch Star Trek, and shoot the shit about theory over weed and beer on the weekends.

A couple weeks ago I was talking to my landlord about how hard it is to find leftist friends, and he got the idea to introduce me to a buddy of his, the one who actually introduced him to Hexbear in the first place. Turns out he's the police officer who usually handles the evictions here. I'd seen him around, but I had no idea he was actually cool. Dude's an anarchist and heavily involved with his union, really based. We invited him to get baked and hang out with us and we really hit it off. It's nice having an anarchist perspective for our theory talk, really fitting given we all use the same left unity website. Not gonna lie, it does get heated at times, and I'm still a bit apprehensive about him showing up to these hangouts in uniform with his service weapon, but I think that's just me being antsy.

Hope you can get something similar going with your boss. Hexbear is great and all, but there's no substitute to having good comrades to hang out with offline.

Seeing libs accuse Russia and China of genocide in Ukraine and Xinjiang respectively was one thing, but seeing libs accuse Palestine of committing genocide in Israel is just fucking horrific and monstrous.

I'm starting to think the western liberal tendency of calling all acts of violence they dislike genocide is a form of soft Holocaust denial. They've all seen the way outright Holocaust deniers are rightfully shunned and near universally derided. Now these disgusting opportunists call everything they dislike a genocide because they've gotten it in their heads that using the word genocide means no one is allowed to disagree with them.

In doing so, they continuously trivialize the Holocaust by implying the problem with Holocaust denial is that it is merely the denial of a claimed genocide and not because there exists a massive amount of irrefutable historical evidence demonstrating this totally unparalleled evil actually happened.

My interpretation of these people is that they actually don't give a shit about anyone who died in the attacks. They pretend to, but what they're really mad about is the fact that it was a successful attack on a widely recognized symbol of United States hegemony.
