“False Dichotomy!” – The Dilemma of Arrogance and Willful Ignorance: Davidian

https://www.answers-in-reason.com/?p=15395
"It’s not uncommon on Social Media to be met with some strange takes on subjects that are pretty well grounded, like the False Dichotomy. Folks can make mistakes, but instead of realising that and learning from that they often double down. Today we are going to be discussing the False Dichotomy. What it is, how...

"Against the backdrop of the threat of war with Persia and an imminent Spartan invasion which resulted in the overthrow of Hippias (510 BCE), it is considered that a political transition occurred because Greece was both geologically and politically disposed to adopt this labour-intensive silver technology which helped to initiate, fund and protect the radical social experiment that became known as Classical Greece."

Tekstikappaleet on kopioitu Suomen kuurosokeat ry:n Tuntosarvi lehdestä. Artikkeli on julkaistu joulukuussa 1998.

“Me kuurosokeat ja vaikeasti kuulonäkövammaiset haluamme olla yhteiskunnassa tasavertaisia. Television kautta välittyy paljon tietoa ja se on myös viihtymisen väline. Televisio on ikkuna ymparoivaan maailmaan. Osa kuulonäkövammaisistakin pystyy seuraamaan radio- ja televisio-ohjelmia. Heillä on kuitenkin siinä ongelmia.”

“Me kuurosokeat vaadimme, että televisio-ohjelmien tekstityksen kirjasimen kokoa ja muotoa sekä värejä kehitetään niin, että ne erottuvat selkeämmin."

"Sekä radio- että televisio-ohjelmien äänimaailmaa voidaan parantaa. Päällekkäisiä ääniä, kuten puheen päälle meneviä taputuksia tai naurua, on vältettävä.”

"Televisiomaailma on siirtymässä digitaalitekniikkaan. “Toivomme, että digitaalitekniikan avulla on tulevaisuudessa mahdollista määrittää itse omaan televisiovastaanottimeen ohjelmien tekstityksen koko, väritys ja pohja sekä poistaa ääniraidasta häiritsevä taustahäly.”"

"In applied linguistics generally and bilingualism research in particular, psychological variables remain a much under-investigated sub-category of individual differences compared with cognitive ones. To better understand the under-researched psychological effects of bilingualism, this study investigated well-being, a psychological construct, based on a big-data survey."

"We analyze the average sonority of basic words of nearly three-quarters of the world’s languages, and confirm a positive correlation between sonority and local temperature. Our findings suggest that lower temperatures, over the course of many centuries, lead to decreased sonority.

"So let’s talk about #Flex.

I’ve been getting email from them and my apartment complex. Flex is a new #payment options where they take your #rent and divide it over two to four payments. But of course flex has it own #fee.

So essentially Flex pays your rent with a fee and you pay flex back. Sounds good right.

But I did some digging because they are pushing this so hard.

Come to find out, Flex is horrible. It doesn’t tell you how much the fee is until you sign up. Once you sign up it’s damm near impossible to get out of it.

So let’s say you need to split September rent, but in October you are fine. You still have to go thru flex and pay the fee.

Then I found this article. Not only could the lady not get out of flex, she ended up owing them about 1k in fees.

That #article also states that Flex as a #business has 1 out of 5 stars on BBB. Their customer service is damm never nonexistent.

But I think we are missing a bigger issue. #Apartments are pushing flex because they know people can not afford the rent. And because people can’t afford the rent there are more #evictions and loss of payment. So instead of lowering the rent they push flex. They want it to seem like they are helping when they are not.

Most people get evicted and the apartment never get their money. 7 years later it falls off your credit report.

So to keep people in these buildings and to keep a steady income they offer some shit like flex.

It’s #predatory and will most likely leave a #tenant in worst standing than before.

Please don’t use it."

#Mastodon #beer question of the day - news preferences. We've been reviewing our year of reporting and are pondering a change.
As we've learned through discussions with regional businesses, there are writers who prefer a handful of #breweries over reporting on all of them.
As we've noticed a precipitous decline in #article or #story pitches from businesses, we are fast looking to reform our coverage. More to the point, between being more offensive and going after businesses or focusing on those that we like.
Thoughts?

"We have documented more than 200 relative values of gold and silver across almost 3000 years (2500 bce–400 ce) to establish value benchmarks for essentially pure metal.

Overview of the time course of one experimental trial during the rating phase. Each trial started with a fixation cross, followed by the information (“REAL” or “FAKE”), and the face stimulus, which displayed one of three emotions (angry, neutral, or happy expression). Afterwards, participants rated the valence of the facial expression on a continuous 100-point scale, with endpoints labeled as “very negative” and “very positive”.

"The following review of the archeological and document evidence indicates that three events occurring in the first half of the first millennium BC trigger the emergence of a specialized and integrated classical economy after 500 BC: (i) growth in demand for silver as a medium of exchange in economies in the Near East; (ii) technical breakthroughs in hull construction and sailing rig in merchant shipping of the late Bronze Age; (iii) perfection of ferrous metallurgy into the European hinterland."

"The early alphabet developed in association with Western Asiatic (Canaanite) miners in Sinai (or, at least, was taken up by them) during the Middle Kingdom in the eighteenth century BC.

How NATO lobbyists are aiding Armenia in distancing itself from Russia


This week, we featured Rasmussen Global, a consulting firm founded by former NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen. They specialize in providing strategic advice to governments, global organizations, and large corporations.

In addition to their work lobbying for foreign businesses in Ukraine, Rasmussen Global is actively expanding its presence in other post-Soviet countries, particularly Armenia.

Armenia has become a favored destination for numerous NGOs and foundations that are exerting significant influence, advocating for the interests of their Western sponsors.
