Realistically Iran doesn’t want a war right now. I think they’re quite okay with not getting a kill. They made their statement without really forcing Israel’s hand too much.
Although some warhawks are already masturbating to a fantasy of Israel retaliating.
Yeah, people have to remember that Iran not only announced a response but actually announced when they launched their drones that would take 9 hours to arrive so Israel has some time to prepare. This was show of force, probably for the domestic audience.
Heck, if you want, you can pay with hard cash by mailing it with your payment token to their office. It’s pretty great when it comes to choice of privacy.
I mean, genocide is not a single event. Even a massacre is not necessarily genocide by itself. It’s a systemic, large scale process. If we’re going to the scale of genocide, it won’t be about one or two events, but a multitude of events at which point it’s getting hard to put the blame on a rogue person or on accidents.
That aside, it’s of course something that the IDF went from “we are a modern, precise army, the best of the crop” to “no, we can’t be at fault, we have no control over ourselves, everyone just does what they want”.
I think, he hasn’t parsed yet that trans is not a gender. In the twisted logic of his, a trans man for example is neither a man nor a woman.
Yeah, Mullvad was searched and they shrugged and said “well, go ahead” and could then proudly publish that the Swedish authorities could take zero info from there: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/update-the-swedish-authorities-answered-our-protocol-request
I also liked that it doesn’t say that all followers of an ideology are good or bad people. A lot of media that tries to tackle ideologies just make everyone in the general direction of an opposing ideology horrible people. In Disco Elysium is not as black and white. There are good and bad people in every broad ideology. Are you a bad person, just because you believe in capitalism? No. Are you a good person, just because you believe in communism? Also no. Disco Elysium is very nuanced while making it’s cases.

I have a monitor above my bed that I connect the deck to with a hub. It’s pretty chill.
Had to do it recently, because my Steamdeck couldn’t use it. One firmware uodate and it worked like butter.
Also, Ted Cruz would be a domestic catastrophe that fills his and hid mates pockets with the money of others, but he would not be an instable insane nuke, ready to blow up something on a whim.
This is where we are right now.
Why go yo a strip club, never understood that. Get an escort that offers sex.

I dunno, I like Tom Scott.
The order of his priorities us also interesting.
Something I got from Spoony which I really liked:
“There is nothing there.” -> “You don’t see/perceive anything.”
Even if there isn’t something there, keep the players on the edge and guessing how good their skill worked. And it makes it just a little bit less gamey if the character doesn’t have some divine insight that there really is nothing there instead of deciding that their skills just show that there is nothing there and be happy with that - or not.
Of course, extend that to everything. Pull away from the facts of the game and put more ambiguous language in.
This is the last straw. I already was very shakey with all the restrictions that were piling up, but this is just one thing too much. Cancelling my subscription and installing jellyfin.
It actually helped me from learning the 5 Ws in kindergarten.
Where? What? How many (“Wie viele” in German)? What? Wait.
I don’t have to make a call often, but all the more important is that I have that in the back of my head. I go through the first four points and then I shut up to for further questions, instructions or just a “okay, got that, sending someone”.
I think that is something that everybody should learn early everywhere. Everyone can only benefit from people making short, focused emergency calls.
Where can I report this for drug promotion?
