Your math teacher is weird. But you can just turn it around:

c < 1

c < x/x | •x

xc < x q.e.d.

This also shows, that c≥0 is not actually a requirement, but x>0 is

I guess if your math teacher is completely insufferable, you need to add the definitions of the arithmetic operations but at that point you should also need to introduce Latin letters and Arabic numerals.

So you need to proof x•c < x for 0<=c<1?

Isn’t that just:

xc < x | ÷x

c < x/x (for x=/=0)

c < 1 q.e.d.

What am I missing?

This “shaming” or the “shit storm” is usually (and I think here too) just some Incels commenting on Instagram. As Instagram optimizes for maximum engagement, the stupidest and most controversial take is always at the top of the comments, that’s how we end up with these idiots getting their platform. And these “news sites” then make a big deal out of a few losers also as engagement bait. This whole system is fucked

I guess we’re screwed

I know it as “Seitdem das Deutsche Reich besteht wird die Schraube rechts gedreht” (“Since the German Reich was founded, the screw has been turned to the right”), I always assumed it was because many things were standardized between the German states after unification and that this was one of these things, but I can’t find any reference to that.

There are many more examples than just Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan comes to mind but also many other Muslim countries use Islam and Shari’a law to control the population or use religious laws as an excuse for their authoritarianism. No religion is free of that.

The Chinese approach is far more effective I fear. The Soviet way worked only with mixed results and was more ideology driven than logical. In Poland, the Catholic Church became a huge factor in the opposition because of that. If religion is deeply rooted in society, controlling and steering religion makes for a powerful tool to control the masses while fighting it automatically makes it a strong opposition force.

A desk reject, also known as a desk rejection, is when your paper is turned down by a journal or conference, prior to them sending it out for review. It basically means: either your paper is rejected for technical reasons (i.e., not within the page limits or clearly written by AI) or it’s so shitty, nobody wants to waste the reviewer’s time.

Lol, sure it does

Two choices is not complete control

What? Not all positions are elected, in no system. Or when did you vote for secretary of state in the US?

The prime minister of France is not an elected position but appointed by the president. This has nothing to do with multiparty democracy.

In a two party system the power balance within the coalition is decided behind closed doors and the voters have no say in it

Because most people have their phone on vibrate 100% of the time. I had a OnePlus and my slider got stuck. Couldn’t change the setting for 2 years but as it was stuck in vibrate, it didn’t matter anyway.
