  • you think there are sectarian conflicts between like arabic numerals, babylonian base 12, i ching base 2, hindu numbers, roman numerals, etc?

    “No it isn’t 2 towers, they are two 1’s so it’s actually 3 in base 2!!”

    “Nuh-uh, it’s a signed bit so it’s negative 1”

    “You fools! they are two I’s therefore it is II or 2!”

    “11 two 1’s make 11!!1!”

    or something like that i think





  • I’m gonna try, I assume I’m wrong and someone can hopefully correct me…

    India has a friendlier or neutral stance towards Russia due to its history with the Soviet Union. Something about a ship nearby some decades ago during the cold war scaring off some antagonistic ships?

    I think India is also part of the non-aligned movement? The recent thing was a UN vote where India abstained? Something about recognizing something about the conflict… I think after that there was a statement by Ukraine or the Ukrainian President saying something like uh, wow I can’t believe you didn’t like super support us.




  • After reading your comment and I looked through the sources cited. Besides the initial source (i.e. linked article) being from a place I never heard, and the ‘increase’ in cost of oil purchased $74 → $76 (which, if I understand correctly, is a minor increase and doesn’t seem to take inflation into account; without calculating or knowing my sense is that it’s not meaningful) what part is ‘fake news’? I’m trying to understand and I don’t really get it.

    The link and info stated in the linked article which links to Foreign Policy is legitimate from what I can tell. I skimmed it, and it seems completely in order.
