I like many others experienced an outage in cell phone coverage. But I had to remember that it was in reality just a minor convenience to my own life rather than something truly catestrophic. I could be someone living in the Southeast right now that lost their house and family members.
So I have little reason to complain.
Putin Confirms BRICS Are Working On Independent Payment System https://youtube.com/watch?v=WeeUG4ofIqo&si=7nLafy83UJexNwQX
@Zeb @Based_Accelerationist I still disagree with this take in so far as I believe they are willing to sacrifice proxies to mire Israel & the US in a slurry disaster of a proxy conflcit Lebanon would be.
We're quibbling on the definition of respect. A master of the craft should still respect his apprentice. The apprentice frees the master from the tedium of simple tasks to accomplish greater works, but that is no reason to look down on his apprentice. Both have their functions to perform while increasing their knowledge of the craft: the apprentice to learn from the master's example and the master to set the example and increase the overall body of knowledge by pushing his craft's limits.
@houseoftolstoy My question at this point is the potential trade off worth to have to deal with further corruption to move somewhere else to be more quiet. They'll still shake you down, but at least your ethnicity isn't preyed/replaced on directly in perhaps Russia. Plus it is far less gay, but none the less not anymore "Free"
Whenever I hear about how horrible Russia and China are due to their governments arresting political dissidents for their speech, I just realize how ignorant many Americans are. Sure, the US government will not directly arrest you for your speech, but they will engage in every form of lawfare possible and coerce "private companies" into acting on their behalf, and in the end arrest you for something else they think they can charge you with.
That totally makes us a free country, right?
@Mr_Mister a lot of people kinda ignore the geography and where israel and iran actually lay. closes iran is to israel is 1000km, spanning multiple countries.
@Mr_Mister On top of this I believe that much of the middle east (aside from geographical issues) are fully willing to Ukraine these smaller islamic nations. They're more than welcome using them as canon fodder to bleed thwir adversary dry and keep it a proxy conflict so they can war on their terms more effectively. Also internally even Saudis and Iran are VERY divided places. Shit will be messy, but states do not want to throw themselves into war just yet; not until someone comes out weak.
@Mr_Mister Dude, Iran is not going to jump into Lebanon. They want another Gaza/proxy conflict. I've said for awhile now that they want Israel to be stuck in and be bled dry in Lebanon. You're not going to get official Iranian involvement; you are going to get a slurry of Israel, Lebanon, Hezbollah, and a slurry of every single last proxy militia group there fighting each other. The whole purpose is to drain Israel's capacity for war. Lots of Muslims do not like or care for one another.
A plummeting birth rate in the Western world and east Asia and an excess of births in the shithole countries with sub room temperature IQ savages. And right in the center of the second image is a peculiar country who has managed to reverse its declining birth rate problem. Care to guess what the solution was?
@UncleIroh So he was VERY obvioualy a fed after J6. He was not anywhere in the building, but what happened was he was no fly listed (along with other noteable AF types), had had millions anonymously "donated" to him which glowed, but then the money got frozen by the feds, he went to court suing the gov, then mysteriously & silently got it all back when he randomly brought the subject up when people were shitting on him. At that point he was so obviously a fed.
Russia just dropped the russian language requirement to immigrate to their country...damn, couldn't be easier.
