Sometimes I want to buy juice that doesn’t have a shitload of sugar in it
You haven’t researched as well as you think you have. Even freshly squeezed juice is unhealthy. You need the pulp too in order to slow the sugar metabolism, in which case you may as well just eat fruit.
Check Robert Lustig re sugars.
What makes even more sense is that they now might be secretly forced to hack for the government in exchange for bread and water and staying out of prison.
Thanks, yeah someone else said similar here.
Not so sure about Iran. I have looked for unambiguous quotes from them but can only find kooky religious stuff about Mahdism which is kind of like extremist Christians with their second coming madness.
Well educated Iranians seem to be Atheist whereas even intellectuals in Israel can be right wing religious nuts.
Certainly Iranian proxy groups like Hamas have unambiguously calked for a global caliphate
“Hamas, which is widely recognized as an Iranian proxy, has leaders and official rhetoric that go beyond the goal of liberating Palestine and at times explicitly reference the ambition of establishing a global Islamic caliphate.“
“On December 1, 2023, senior Hamas official Fathi Hammad declared on Al-Aqsa TV that the Palestinians are preparing to establish an Islamic caliphate with Jerusalem as its capital. He and other Hamas leaders have repeatedly stated that the liberation of Palestine is just a prelude to bringing all Islamic countries—and eventually the entire world—under Islamic rule, referencing the conquest of Rome and America as future goals”
For the record, my housemate of two years in Australia is Iranian. I also make music with an Iranian in Mashhad via the Internet (we jam electronic music). He is an extreme loner but tells me what society is like there.
Thanks.
And I didn’t know Signal had spam filters. It makes sense to not make that open source.
In my circle of 20 there has only been one instance of spam over several years. 3 of us got the same message.
Wiki citation:
86. The United Nations verified the recruitment and use of 4 Palestinian children (3 boys, 1 girl) by Israeli forces as human shields (3) and by the Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades (1) as combatants in the occupied West Bank (3) and the Gaza Strip (1).
So that’s 4 examples of the IDF and 8 of the Palestinian militants. The numbers are not a scorecard though. These are just children and just the ones they had evidence of. Must happen a lot more, especially if you count adult shields.
I expect better from IDF since they represent a democratic government and so we should be hearing of the rogue soldiers being disciplined (jailed even). We rarely hear that.
Got a citation for that claim?
There are also claims of IDF sending civilians ahead of a raid in potentially booby trapped buildings.
But why waste our time on hearsay? It is hard enough examining all the documented evidence from each side.
In feel like there just aren’t enough of us trying to get at the truth. It is more like a game of football from the comfort of our Western homes where we encourage our team to keep going regardless of losses (on the ProPal side the encouragement for Hamas to not surrender is especially buzaare).
Going by this very targeted attack video, I find those numbers difficult to believe.
There just isn’t much explosive you can secretly pack into a pager. The strategy relied on body proximity.
Neither side seems interested in murdering everyone on the other side.
Iran’s intention is to eradicate a Jewish state in the Levant. Hamas have stated that they would repeat Oct 7 over and over (seems a stupid thing to say out loud even if one is on their side) and in fact their insane leadership called for world Islamist domination.
Whether we agree with the establishment of Israel in the first place or not, it aint going anywhere so to continue trying to eradicate it 77 years later exacerbates suffering.
Aboriginal Australians got a raw deal but are still doing better than Gazans because they didn’t continue warring. They are still fighting politically and rightly so.
They are monthly not daily popups. They are daily at the start kust to make sure you memorize your PIN, then they peter off.
However if you ignore a monthly one then it doesn’t disturb you until the next monthly reminder. What is the point of a PIN if it can be ignored?
The pager attack was pretty targeted. Very low percentage of civilians killed (unlike the percentages of Hezbollah attacks on Israel).
Nerdy AF though 🤓
PS Nobody says “saw throat”, I just made that up. Or maybe everyone says it but they all write it as “sore throat” just to fuck with me.
In accidents (like shaving) a razor does not hurt as it cuts because it is such a sharp straight edge. The first thing we notice is the blood not the pain. It hurts afterwards (like any other cut does). A saw hurts as it cuts because of the serated edge. But we all know what is meant by the swallowing razorblades metaphor so I regret even mentioning it.
The aftermath of a razor cut would hurt. Like any other cut. The pain experienced by the simple act of swallowing is more of a “saw throat”.
And I asked a friend who got Covid too. She mainly had a sore throat but it was mild like mine. Sample size of two isn’t much.
Bad analogy because razor blades don’t hurt. I realize it is a common saying though.
Also I just had Covid and this time was milder than any cold. All I had was a mildly sore throat (been vaxxed 6 times though). Any of you had it recently?
The Iranian faith-based community is just as deranged.
Khomeini’s doctrines would make a major influence on the landscape of Shia Islam; which had upheld political quietism for over a thousand years. Another significant revision of tradition was on Mahdism, the messianic belief in the reappearance of their Twelfth Imam and the proper way to wait for Him. Traditional Twelver theologians urged believers to wait patiently for his return, but Khomeini and his followers called upon Shia Muslims to actively pave the way for Mahdi’s global Islamic rule.
And cookers in the West have shown us that a community doesn’t even need religion to be deranged.
The case of the person Lander was escorting (his bid for asylum) was dismissed. The guy had been “stripped of all status” by the judge.
Here is an interview with Lander after he was released, which is where I got the above from.
Lander talks about due process not being followed. Is a judicial warrant required or is the due process that the guy gets kicked out of the country when his asylum claim fails?
Or is due process that he gets to appeal, in which case his status is not totally stripped and the judge is the one not following due process?
I am not asking what we wish was the case. Does anyone here know what the actual law is?
How does this compare to when judge Dugan helped an ICE target evade arrest by getting him to evacuate via the jury door.
Dugan and another judge entered the hallway and confronted the arrest team, telling one deportation officer that he needed a judicial warrant to make an arrest instead of an “administrative warrant,” the affidavit said.
She was arrested herself and indicted by a grand jury but is now claiming the same immunity which Trump is afforded. Would be hilarious if she succeeds. See her Wikipedia entry. Lander doesn’t get to play the same “Trump card”.
Maximized efficiency at the expense of security. Can happen to anyone.
I have been flagged three times by teamviewer. Appealing requires writing an email and waiting weeks. This last time my use was consistent and only ever connected to my home computer due about 10 minutes tops.
They just don’t want free users who don’t upgrade to a monthly subscription but will never say that.
