Solid matter physics would be a more straightforward name - it's just the physics of matter that isn't liquid or gas, which usually means crystals.

I mean, the tags literally say fantasy, so I guess OP is getting what he asked for

Observation does not require a human observer - the extreme complexity of quantum mechanics remain even without any creature involved.

Even accurately modeling basic chemical reactions without any human interaction takes up more computational power than humanity will ever achieve without a quantum computing.

Absolutely, but the morality of said rapist competing at the Olympics a decade later, after having served his sentence and possibly having been rehabilitated is a pretty nuanced subject, wouldn't you say?

Makes sense. But does this community know whether he has done so? My understanding is that the crime was committed a decade ago, and that he admits fault. I assume nobody here followed it at the time.

It seems this community has turned very quickly to an un-nuanced discussion with very little data.

No sympathy for him from here, but this is an interesting conversation about justice.

Is it his responsibility that the justice system gave him the sentence it did?

Who gets to decide what is adequate consequences, how long ago the crime should have been, what is appropriate sentencing and what is appropriate steps of reconciliation?

I agree with the gut feeling that he was sentenced lightly, but as the previous comment said, how do we combine that with a belief in the rehabilitation of criminals?

No sympathy for the child rapist here, but his wife is innocent for all we know, no need to drag her into this.

Also, technically being a pedophile does not mean you are turned on by your own child, in the same way that being turned on by 20 year old women does not mean you are turned on by your own 20 year old daughter. Not defending the choice of having a child with a child rapist, just pointing out that incest and pedophilia are different crimes, and that there's nothing gained by conflating them.

You choose a velocity from an infinite number of options, but the electron exists in a superposition of all those options.

I like using it for collages and memes - the magic cutout plus the 3D tools made it really easy to edit things together quick and dirty.

Ugh, the video about "leftist code" feels straight out of The Boys.

please explain how I'm wrong.

I think the misunderstanding at play is that this isn't a question of foreign relations, but rather about the factual conditions of the conflict and whether they justify the legal and/or moral label of genocide.

Such factual conditions can be investigated through sound, empirical gathering of evidence, and any well defined concept of genocide can then be evaluated in that context.

This evidence gathering and following genocide evaluation can be much better performed by organizations with expertise and authority on such matters. Most of the listed organizations are considering expert evidence gatherers and experienced, empowered authorities of genocide evaluation.

Therefore, the fact that such a list of organizations agree on the evidence supporting the label, must weigh as evidence to those of us who do not have this expertise ourselves. It proves nothing outright, but should weigh heavily in the private opinion-forming of laymen.

How is that?
