You withdraw cash at an ATM but the software has faulty code which causes your balance to remain the same after withdrawing any amount.
You notice this and then empty the entire ATM this way, making $200,000. I’m sure once you explain to the jury that the ATM just gave you a bad contract, they will acquit you.

- Comment on Germans: what genocide? 7 months ago:
Killing 50% of any one people is genocide, right? For example, the Nazis killed up to 50% of European Romani people and it is classified as a genocide.
Let’s assume killing 50% of n peoples is genocide.
Since killing 50% of n peoples is genocide, killing 50% of n+1 peoples must also be genocide, else a number N would exist such that killing 50% of N - 1 peoples is genocide but killing 50% of N peoples is not. The existence of such a number N would be quite contradictory, as it would imply one could undo genocide by killing more people. Additionally, if one were to first kill 50% of N - 1 people and then kill 50% of one more people some time later, both events would be classified as genocide, since killing 50% of one people is assumed to be genocide.
Therefore, Thanos did in fact commit genocide.

To be honest, other programming languages aren’t named any better
Pascal is just a common name, Rust is a common noun, Java is an island which you cannot find by searching for just its name, Python’s a snake, C# is a musical note and C is just a letter.

If you have finitely many problems, after purchasing finitely many copies, there should only be one problem left. If this problem isn’t solved with another copy, you’re out of luck and have to come up with the solution yourself.
If you have infinitely many problems then you shouldn’t complain, for you’ll solve infinitely many problems per copy.

In Germany:
When using vehicles, unnecessary noise and avoidable exhaust pollution are prohibited. In particular, it is prohibited to run vehicle engines unnecessarily and to close vehicle doors excessively loudly. Unnecessary driving to and fro within built-up areas is prohibited if it causes a nuisance to others.

- Comment on Those that target journalists are declaring war on the truth itself 11 months ago:
I highly, highly doubt the numbers for WW2 are even remotely accurate. There is no source in the article.
Quickly searching online reveals at least 48 dead mostly American and/or English journalists, although quite a few deaths cannot be considered war crimes even today - being aboard a bomber makes you a valid target I believe.
Besides, where’s the number of killed axis journalists? Surely in Hiroshima there were a few dozen journalists, don’t you think?

A party tolerating Nazis in their ranks is not worth differentiating from a party made entirely out of Nazis.
Ya know, if politicians have Himmler’s instruction to produce more “aryan” babies hanging in their room as a poster, it is safe to say it’s a Nazi party.

- Comment on AI-created child sexual abuse images ‘threaten to overwhelm internet’ 1 year ago:
I don’t see how AI will potentially shatter society. You can’t prevent AI models from being misused any more than you can prevent the internet from being misused.
The biggest danger of AI is the capability of spreading orchestrated misinformation. Since this is mostly done by state actors nothing can be done against it. I’m not opposed to AI regulation, it’s just that generating images or text is not what’s worrying about AI.

Clearly cameras, screens and the internet shouldn’t have been invented. After all - they facilitate the creation and spread of CSAM!

Well yes, but I’m not aware of any outliers and I don’t think this is one of them.
Though my statement stands true still, for the commenter I replied to assumed it was always the case.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
“Communists are saying Nazi things”? I’m not sure where I talked about communists besides the opposition to it in Hamas.
And no, I’m not implying Palestinians are Nazis - I’m responding to the claim that Hamas isn’t fascist just because there’s more to fascism than antisemitism. Yes, antisemitism does not imply fascism. But antisemitism combined with a few other factors does imply fascism. (And no, fascism does not imply antisemitism).
And it’s certainly not a stretch to claim a subset of a group is fascist. Like this Palestinian on the left (who is also instrumentalized by Israeli fascists to claim all Palestinians are Nazis - which is obviously wrong, but this guy certainly was one):
Also, just a small definition: I use the terms Nazi and fascist interchangeably, there’s not much of a point here to argue semantics.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Never said anything positive about Israel, did I? I responded to a comment saying just because Hamas is antisemitic doesn’t mean it’s fascist. While that’s true, Hamas fulfills more hallmarks of fascism than merely antisemitism.
- Comment on Man who crashed car into China embassy shot dead in US 1 year ago:
No it didn’t.
Contrary to popular belief, diplomatic missions sometimes do not enjoy full extraterritorial status and are generally not sovereign territory of the represented state. The sending state can give embassies sovereign status but this only happens with a minority of countries.[13] Rather, the premises of an embassy remain under the jurisdiction of the host state while being afforded special privileges (such as immunity from most local laws) by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

But so is 100°F completely fine with a shirt and shorts and some shade.
So basically: |0°F| > |100°F|, where | is the mathematical absolute operator.
0°F is really cold, while 100°F is merely somewhat hot.

Is that percentage of points or just an arbitrary grade scale?
Because that’s quite funny compared to the (non-US) university I attend where you pass the difficult classes with “just” 33% of points.
