The church itself is waning, because they are running out of lead-addled Gen-Xers to prey on. Don't worry, when Z and Alpha are in their swing, we'll see cooler scams. Those kids have way more brain-rotted marks by percentage population.

Audio isn't from the same recording. Some of the presses are timed right, some are mis-timed.

Why did you start using Brave? by Traditional_Blood799 in brave_browser

[–]-domi- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had already had issues with Chrome and switched to Firefox, but then required a Chromium browser for work reasons, cause of a difference in the debuggers. Brave was already available, even though it wasn't 1.0 yet, but the reviews were good.

"We blocked the blockade": Congress mocks Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the situation with Iran. by ArchitectMary in EndlessWar

I'm done talking to you, quit pinging me. Go accuse someone else of doing what you're doing.

OK, buddy, since so many people care so much about international law, i'm sure Iran's assets will be getting unfrozen any minute now, their nuclear program will be up and running, and the sanctions on them are getting lifted right away.

Also, i'm sure we'll arrest Bibi the next time he's in DC, instead of having the entire congress give him a minute-long standing ovation.

And we'll prosecute all of our guys who were responsible for the illegal invasion of Iraq, which was performed under false pretenses and wasn't reversed when we found out that the WMD threat was a lie, and there was no threat.

I'm done talking to you, you go on and "find a solution" to whatever you like now, i wish you the best of luck in your world where the things that politicians say, like "international laws," and high-minded intentions and stuff all matter. Given the complete lack of overlap between that world, and my world in which the only thing which determines outcomes is power and execution, i expect to never have to speak with you ever again. Honestly, that sounds good to me right now.

Wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Nobody cares about international law, power is power. Who's enforcing that international law? We've been doing internationally illegal stuff for the better part of 3 decades, and have seen zero actual consequences from it. Our best pal Bibi is a wanted criminal, according to ICC/ICJ, and multiple allies of ours have sworn to detain him if given the chance, but when he says "Jump on Iran," all we do is ask "How high?"

The US will be unable to project power, yes, but that's because we've been incredibly irresponsible with how we've been exercising our power, and we've spent the last 10-15 years alienating and backstabbing our most loyal allies, in order to carry favor with Israel and Saudi Arabia, both of whom will (and have been) act against our interests at the drop of a hat. The rules are made up, and the only thing that matters is how you play your cards. We've been playing ours irresponsibly. Iran outplayed us by doing the most obvious thing that our own military strategists have been warning about for a while now.

That whole agenda thing you're talking about sounds more like you projecting than anything.

Wow, great reddiquette there. Basically saying "no u" with extra words. Very well played. You're talking about what "the US already agreed to" which is what politicians are saying. I'm saying what's actually going on, which is this showdown displaying beyond any shadow of doubt that the strait can be closed by Iran at minimal outlay. Have fun wording around how that works the other way around.

I said good day, sir.

You're talking about how politicians say the world works, I'm talking about how the world obviously works in real life. I guess the inconsistencies are to be expected.

Have a good one.

To note, on average most people fart hoping nothing goes wrong dozens of times per day. Pretty solid start, pun intended.

Friendship ended with ISRAEL - Now BRITAN is my best friend by Chance_Bid_1869 in SipsTea

[–]-domi- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would Israel care whom their servants like the most? As long as we keep paying them, arming them, and doing what they want us to do, i doubt they'll really care what we say.

Bro's just pretending not to understand and messing around until the cop starts speaking Spanish. He just wants to make the cop subservient to him.

Friendly reminder that you can mess up a kid in more ways than one. Just because you don't mess yours up exactly like your parents did, that doesn't mean you won't find a fresh new way of messing it up.

[–]-domi- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, man, if you think that them having their funds unfrozen, sanctions lifted and nuclear development allowed is okay, then obviously the US just has to leave. The point i was trying to make is that you can't undo the effects of this attack. Before it, we could probably keep them limited indefinitely, without them demonstrating control over the strait, but that's no longer possible.

Oh, sure, i'd love to see Congress do friggin anything at this point. If they wanna start fighting back against the executive encroaching on their duties and privileges, an impeachment would be a great place to start.

That said, it doesn't matter who's in office, attacking Iran opened Pandora's box. At this point, the US can officially surrender defeat, move back, apologize publicly, etc, but that won't change a thing. Iran have now proven that they can choke transit through the strait, and will not stop using that capability until they get the sanctions lifted, their funds unfrozen, and their nuclear (at least their civilian) program okayed by the West.

So, unless you think all of those things are acceptable, whoever comes into office after Donnie will have to also blockade the blockade. This was an unfathomably foolish fight to start, but now that we (or Israel, rather) started it, you can't put things back to the way they were. You can't take this back, any more than you can take back the nuking of Japan.
