Bobby Fingers has the best definition of "woke," one that I feel all can agree with, even if they are dismayed by the quality of his dashboards.
That was my, admittedly bitter, point, yes. You do have to wonder what the hell weretcollectively playing at.
We live in a world of plenty where we still produce enough food that nobody need go hungry.
It does make me wonder about quantum suicide.
Being a whiny entitled prick is not a protected class.
The Sixth Sense.
The lizardfolk brigade.
In 2016, 96% of UKIP membership voted for (some version of) Brexit - their raison d'etre. 4% is a typical fraction of any group to be chaotically bonkers.
The lazy autosm-washing aside: Turing went to his grave never speaking about his accomplishments - still under the OSA at the time. He was neither involved with the decision to use or not, things that were discovered via cracking enigma. The acts that film lays at hia door in the sake of some lazy drama repreaent a vilification of his character.
Historically speaking it's a lazy character assassination.
It's around one in two million.
The story is at least semi-plausible, but Turing also still had friends in the right places (not enough to dig him out of the hole he got himself into with the local plod*) and there was a strong social taboo around suicide.
(* At the time there was good reason to believe that the end of the outlawing of homosexuality was just around the corner, so offering a genuine explanation was not necessarily Turing acting as such a naif as is often portrayed.)
I'm not sure about that (the icon bit). I've gay friends who have been surprised that Turing was gay - personally I knew about it since I knew about Turing, but I was a nerd who was interested in the theory of computation. It's only relative recently (with the popularity of unbelievably lousy character-assassination like "the Imitation Game"*) that he's been more in the general public eye, I think.
- This is a shit film that represents the worse of pandering, and casts Turing in an appallingly poor light, whilst leaning into the "autistic savant" trope hard. It's abysmal.
"Almost singlehandedly" is way off the mark. Welchman, Tutte - the place was filled with eccentric geniuses; it was the success of management as much as the individual that Bletchley saw so much success.
("The story of Hut 6" is a good read on the subject. What comes across was that success was down to serendipity as well as hard work, and some remarkably enlightened leadership.)
The beeb. Interviewees were both pro-Israeli and representatives of different Palastinian groups; what could not be distinguished between them was the playground line of blaming the other for their own behaviour.
In the days following the October attacks, the media was filled with spokespeople repeatedly delivering the line, "look what they made us do".
It comes to the same conclusion regarding the illegality of the weapons, even if it's pretty lenient in its interpretation of how thousands of devices can be "reasonably expected" to all end up in the hands of combatants.
Are you saying that you're in the tribe of people who are sick of identity politics?
