It does, but if it has compromised the BIOS before that, that won't get wiped.

Something can't become categorically imperative, a quiddidity such as an essentially categorical property is invariant with respect to time. It either is or it isn't. Per contra, aesculapian aid might become dispositionally required.

You don't understand why people might more frequently discuss the actions of someone with enormous power and influence, than they would those of Darryl from high school?

Ok, but not every random asshole is the richest guy in the world...

Yeah, it is also just a philosophy word. But antisemites use it to refer to "dialectical materialism", which is a real term for Marxist philosophy, but by which they mean "cultural Marxism", a thing they made up by which they in turn mean "the Jews are going to impose communism on us through psyops that convince us it is good, so we have to exterminate them."

Basically, like much of their coded language, it is a reference to a conspiracy theory.

I don't think that's right, context matters. It spreads when it is shared uncritically and people come across it in a context where they don't have their guard up. I believe it is preventative, to some extent, the other way around, when it is shared in a context ripping it to shreds.

People will come across antisemitism in the wild, and it is important that they learn to recognise it. This quote is pretty extreme, but it is important that people know that antisemites use words like e.g. "dialectical" as a dog whistle. The next time they hear someone say something about it when one of their facebook friends share something they might notice that they talk about "Hollywood elites" or whatever in the same way.

Without a good understanding of how antisemitism works we are all susceptible.

Correction: they have spent some fraction of 73M on propaganda, and likely embezzled the rest.

There is, but they all come under the umbrella of polyamory. There's lots of sub categories like "parallel" (where someone's partners don't have much or any contact with each other), "kitchen table" where they're not in a relationship but do talk a lot about scheduling etc, might be friends, and then where everyone is in the same relationship or has independent relationships between everyone in a group. But lots of people use lots of different terms for those things.

Then your understanding of these terms is wrong. Polyamory refers to people having multiple relationships (consensually), that's it.

Oh, they're on the menu in gibberish too, I see. Sounds fun.

Why would you ever choose a coffee mug and a knife as your dish and utensil? That doesn't work for any food... And a deep plate/wide bowl + fork would work for basically everything.
