All possible formulas for the amount of triangles are as follows.

Let A(n) be the total number white of triangles in the n’th run.

Let B(n) be the total number of triangles in the n’th run in the structure that does not include the two corner triangles.

Let C(n) be the total numbers of triangles in the n’th run including the corner triangles.

Then we the following starting numbers and recursive formulas hold:

A(1)=1 and A(n+1)=3A(n) for all integers n>0

Reason: previous structure is embedded exactly 3 times

B(1)=1 and B(n+1)=3B(n) + 2 for all integers n>0

Reason: previous structure is embedded 3 times and this creates 1 new center triangle and 1 new greater triangle

C(1)=3 and C(n+1)=3(C(n) - 2) + 4 for all integers n>0

Reason: previous structure with the corner triangles removed is embedded 3 times, similar to previous case, and we add the 2 corner triangles at the end.

For this run (n=4) that means A(4)=27 B(4)=53 C(3)=55

Where in Europe do you consider islam to be more than a ‘cultural category like Christianity’? Most European countries have large Christian conservative political parties that are preventing trans people from getting the medical care they need and women from having ownership of their bodies when they’re pregnant.

As a trans person fundamentalist Christians are a much bigger threat to me than fundamentalist muslims. I experience solidarity from muslims who know what it’s like to be marginalised and discriminated against. There are muslim people who would like to restrict my determination over my own body, but there are way more Christians in my country who would like to do the same and they pose and actual threat to me.

Wanting to ban mosques, the quran and muslim clothing like niqabs sounds pretty fascist to me (that’s what the biggest political party in The Netherlands wants). Thinking the European far right (that is rapidly gaining grounds) isn’t fascist or fascist leaning is a wild take.

That makes sense, I’m just trying to understand OP’s view on large meetings. I understand the issue with calling it a punishment that those who are late have to miss the first part, but always waiting for everyone be present just seems impossible (similarly to delaying a concert).

Do you think a concert starting on time when not everyone who bought a ticket has arrived yet is ableist?

Just like we have the right to say that your comments make you look like an idiot.

Different communities then I guess, I browse ‘all’ a lot.

I guess me being a mathematician makes me notice them more. I’ve seen many in several communities, but me being biased makes me wish there were more.

This meme is highly misinformed about how any of these academic subjects work though. (Meta)physicists and theologists don’t make claims, they research the consequences of certain assumptions. Most elementary sciences work that way.

I think everyone with a niche skill experiences that to some extent. Almost all posts about mathematics on lemmy attract people acting like they understand what’s going on while making wrong claims lol, I only rarely see comments that are fully correct.

Three points:

1. Palestine is not as backwards as Westerners think and just assuming that gay people do not exist there openly without any actual proof is orientalist. I personally know openly queer Palestinians from Gaza.

2. The fact that not all queer people are out openly does not mean they don’t exist and it does not mean that they aren’t being targeted by Israel. IDF soldiers are targeting queer Palestinians and torturing them in heinous ways because they are queer.

3. The point of Israel killing and targeting queer people in their war is made to connect it to the queer struggle as it’s a clear example of intersectionality. Pride is for the queers worldwide, that includes Palestinian queers who are currently struggling the hardest.

Killing and torturing gay and trans Palestinians is more likely the reason why Israel isn’t very popular in the queer community.

Of course middle class people get stolen from, but they often use their job as an excuse not to organise which is lame imo because I know a lot of people who have it worse and put in way more effort in community building

Middle class people often think that they’re barely getting by but forget that they live larger and more luxurious than necessary.

I see more racism, sexism and other bigotry than before. Although there certainly was a lot of that back then as well. Also bots.

That’s not an axiom or definition, it’s a consequence of the axioms that define arithmetic and can therefore be proven.

Because once the dictatorship of the proletariat is installed it needs to defend itself from counter revolutionaries who want to reinstate class inequality. Actually similarly to how the US and other capitalist states are heavily surveilling and infiltrating communist and other anti capitalist groups in- and outside of their own countries.

That’s actually pretty easy once capitalist USA is abolished and thus no longer violently interfering with the internal affairs of socialist countries.

Maybe he should first stop killing lgbtq+ Palestinians

No
