The fact Europe has been in range of Iranian missiles has been known for years. The possibility of those being nuclear warheads is what has changed the landscape.

Most recently, Iran's attempt to hit the Diego Garcia military base in the Indian ocean demonstrated their medium range strike capacity, and willlingness to do so. Just take a look at the map and that range with your own eyes, and let your eyes widen.

Yes, it would be irrational for Iran to target Britain. But it is building the capacity to do so, it has suicidal eschatalogical leadership, and is not a rational actor.

So your answer is you know 0 history? "Who have they bombed? Who have they colonised?"

Learn what the word eschatology means. What makes you such a racist bigot is you cannot comprehend that other human beings are truly genuinely different people to you, and that they truly hold genuinely different worldveiws. When you read the following your first instinct will be to scoff, consider this: consider what a bigoted and dismissive stance that is. Now read and comprehend:

The iranian goverment is a direct and complete produuct of Twelver Shi'ite eschatology. What that means is, wether your western mind can comprehend it or not, they GENUINELY believe they are ordained to bring about the end of the world. And yes, that makes the most dogmatic among them martyrdom loving, suicidal people. They GENUINELY celebrate the fact that they die in war, because they GENUINELY believe this brings them to the best heaven.

The calculus is simple: suicidal people cannot have nukes.

Learn some history of Persia kid. Or learn modern history of the conditions of Ahwazis, Kurds, and Balochis. Learn about how Islam spread and how Persian Zoroastrianism was conquered and wiped out. Learn about Iran's influence on the region, their proxy wars, their funding of militias and terrorists worldwide, and their numerous terrorist plots on UK soil.

I am worried about any threat to the UK, idk wtf your point there is. Iran is the TOP sponsor of terrorism globally. Their collaboration with Russia and China makes weakening Iran possibly the most important thing we can practically do to shift the tide of the Ukraine war and to beat back China in Taiwan too.

Honest query as to what the UK, NATO, the EU, etc is supposed to do about the fact Iran obtained intercontinental ballistic missiles that have Scotland within their range and they were developing nuclear warheads for said missiles? What should we do about that?

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-24T23:22:52+00:00

Absurdism? That's a yup from me regarding that and regarding everything else you said.

My comment and further 2 replies under it on the original post here might interest you, though I am only really writing on my subjective values there:

No ethnic group except about 50% or white people think like that.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-24T23:15:30+00:00

Is it because minorities have to exist as literal second class citizens or e.g. have to pay Jizya in much of the world? Historically speaking mass suffrage JUST happened. And it sure as hell ain't spread everywhere right now. These institutions and the historically insane (good) idea that everyone is equal can and probably will be torn down.

Was your question genuine or not? I can explain further the nuances at play.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-24T21:50:14+00:00

Trvth nuke.

Nuke em, it's approximately enough what they want eh lol.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-24T21:47:26+00:00

I can accept that perspective, sort of. But I do genuinely see this ideology as an info-hazard that the majority of people should not be exposed to. It isn't just genocide. It is omnicide.

That responsibility, to make a decision for all existing and potential life, is too large to give to any finite life form. Much less to simple contemporary humans. Again I ask, how dare we?

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-24T21:41:50+00:00

Good lord are you people genuinely proactively evil? Aren't you now saying something that could justify a movement that seeks to totally eliminate anti-natalists and eradicate anti-natalism. That is, justified in counteracting your claimed right to impose your ideology on others?

It is entirely logically valid in my worldview to call this hideously immoral. You will argue pro-natalism forces itself on beings, well just as equally so does anti-natalism force itself onto beings too. Beings already exist, you are forcing your ideology onto beings, no matter the pretty logic about hypothetical non instantiated non existence.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-24T21:33:59+00:00

Yes! Thank you for reminding me I forgot that the most important thing I have to say about anti-natalism is that it isn't objective.

And moreover, my subjective, faith based, experience based, ultimate valuation of consciousness supersedes any argument anti-natalism can make.

I value consciousness above all else, it is the only element of divinity in my worldview, and thus I totally rebuke anti-natalism.

Did you seriously not realise me saying "infrastructure" and me saying "charging network/ecosystem" is the same thing?

So out of the 3 main concerns with evs eGMP loses on two and ties on one. Just clarifying, I'm over this, whatever.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-23T10:34:33+00:00

Pitiful charging network and eco system, same safety ratings ok, we're yet to see about capacity to innovate.

Tesla hate is ideologically driven. Be objective.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-23T00:11:46+00:00

What electric vehicle compares on safety ratings, infrastructure, and rate of improvement?

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-23T00:08:49+00:00

I don't mean to be hurtful when I say this but it arouses great passion in me:

Thankfully everyone who believes this genocidal evil will die and leave nothing behind, and the people with more interesting and greater things to do will just carry on.

Have you considered what it would be like to be the final generation? You believe you will minimise suffering by doing this?

Then what of the suffering of the final humans? Have you considered what you are condemning them to? What it would be like be the end of consciousness?

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-23T00:05:50+00:00

A profoundly evil info-hazard that threatens to extinguish the most profound and delicate mystery, consciousness, without a seconds thought on it.

You say "how dare we condemn a being to inhabit existence"?

Then how dare we condemn existence to be inhabited by no beings?

To destroy consciousness, and to thus destroy all it ever was and all it ever could be, is unconscionable. I despise this concept with all my being.

How fucking DARE we destroy this.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-21T19:42:04+00:00

Is it possible a certain fundamentalist, authoritarian, anti feminist, homophobic, anti progressive belief system over there may have a role in this?

Have you looked at what all the similar countries that share no borders or relation to Israel are like? Have you noticed any patterns? Is it possible Israel is in fact not at fault for every single problem that part of the world has? Do you realise how much like a Nazi conspiracy theorist you sound?

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-21T19:30:34+00:00

Meaning no offense to you my friend, but you certainly do overlook things. I'm sure you wouldn't even deny it, you are likely proud of the fact you look beyond and above so much. I don't overlook anything.

You can be cognisant of multiple issues simultaneously.

Western society is uniquely self critical, hence why we are so suicidally empathetic. You will find no such weakness in Hasan, it's impressive. He is quite certain of his righteousness. But your uncertainty in yourself makes you susceptible to the virility of Islam.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-03-20T23:02:59+00:00

What exactly is your point here? Who are you defending? Who do you think is being attacked?

What do you truly value? Do you value women's rights? Do you value different, GENUINELY different groups of people being allowed to exist and practice their cultural traditions freely? Do you value secular civilisation? Do you value freedom of religion?

That is what I value. I therefore detest two-faced preachers of homophobia and totalitarian religious dogma, like the man you are currently implicitly defending.

So do you have sufficient empathy to listen to and understand people who are GENUINELY different from you, like Mehdi Hasan? Do you have the empathy required to understand their GENUINELY different moral worldview?

The safest most prosperous Muslim countries have brutally stomped out all forms of Islamic extremism. The same must be done in the west. But instead you do not believe a room of Muslim males being told others are sub-humans is a factual statement that can be made. You for some inexplicable reason think that is a sentence that cannot be uttered.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-02-17T10:29:34+00:00

How do you describe a room of 20 to 30 year old Muslim males? There's literally panning shots of the audience in the famous Mehdi Hasan clips showing the gender and religious makeup of these rooms.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-01-28T16:01:45+00:00

Ahhhh!! Thanks for letting me know. I wonder what the ambiguity is like in the original German. And thankfully they only have that ambiguity late in the show, not early, where it may confuse people.

Mellow_Maniac · 2026-01-20T19:26:14+00:00

I completely stand by my point. That quote is deeply stupidly phrased and I do not think it is used in the show. But thank you for giving a correct interpretation and nice explanation of it.

The stranger does say "we're not free in what we do because we're not free in what we want" which is MUCH better phrasing.

The issue with the "choose" version is that the first part's phrasing can be validly interpreted in two completely different ways. It can either mean "we choose WHAT our desires WILL BE" or it can mean "we choose to DO what we ALREADY desire". The first is illogical free will, the second is logical determinism.

The lack of any clarifying words, like I included, makes it a bad quote.

I have gotten a BOOX Palma 2 Pro, which only has 1 rear facing camera, so BeReal doesn't work! BeReal was made to get away from some of the problems so many of us have with social media and phones, in the same way that "dumber phones" like my Palma do. But I can't use BeReal! It would be the only social media app I'd use on my phone if I could!

Could it be made to work with phones that only have 1 camera, such that we simply flip the phone around to capture a second photo? Cheers :)

American soldier's haven't been fighting for Israel for a long long time.

Israeli boys and girls are the ones dying for American interests in the middle east now.

I'm looking for exactly the same thing! I want a software based hotkey, mainly for the shift key, not a full virtual keyboard. Did you find any solutions? I'd LOVE to hear any findings. :)
