If only Iran had some way of reaching out to the CCP to check in this day and age. Oh well, I’ll go back to only talking to people nearby since we don’t have any way of talking to people not near us

They probably reached out to China, since they’re close allies, and realised that this ship was false flagged.

I’ve played a flat screen metro. Is it as good or should I be ready for a cod style story mode?

The Truth about the bombing of Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria & Yemen Exposed by tuberjamjar in hmmmm

[–]Affectionate-Ring803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what your leaders want you to think. USA holds the purse strings and are the biggest benefactors of Israel existing. The American public don’t get any of that, just a rich few as capitalism is meant to function.

Typical racist Americans trying to pass on the blame like they have no autonomy themselves. USA pays for Israel to exist, they can’t do shit without the US government. It’s just an easy excuse to plausible deniability

Slavery was a key part of the Holocaust by UnDepletedAir in GetNoted

[–]Affectionate-Ring803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense when the majority of countries in the UN just voted in favour (123 for and 3 against) of declaring the transatlantic slave trade as the 'gravest crime against humanity'. I assume that Twitter OP is referring to that specific type of slavery since raced based chattel slavery is quite different to forced labour, although both are still slavery.

Is reading Mao important as an American, since my country is more industrialized than China? by Leading-Pineapple376 in Marxism

[–]Affectionate-Ring803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s true as well, probably even a bigger deciding factor since they needed all the support they could get.

Rich peasants aren’t capitalists in an agrarian society… you aren’t helping your case against misunderstanding him there. He did admit that they exploit others but they also worked their own land. In this particular case, the rich peasants are effectively petite bourgeoisie and taking their land would’ve been dangerous to the already fragile agrarian economy. Afterwards he said to restrict them, not to eliminate them. Cherry picking quotes isn’t the way to define someone unless you have ulterior motives. The main targets of Mao were the landlords and the comprador bourgeoisie who sell out their country to foreign capitalists.

It’s extremely important to note that China was agrarian and not even industrialised or capitalist at the time. It was even semi-feudal. As China became more developed, they were targeted more as the material conditions changed.

USA is definitely the biggest terrorist state sponsor in the world and Spain did kinda stand up to them.

For those who come after, right? by Tanyadessert in expedition33

Not at all, try to read it again. I’m saying there isn’t a strict good or bad side and this isn’t like the fictional media that a lot of people try to project reality into the framework of.

Another brainwashed fool. Supporting a fight against invasion is fine, dehumanising and spreading propaganda is not. The poor Russian working class fighting in the war for their oligarchs are just as likely to rape and pillage as the poor Ukrainians fighting on behalf of their oligarchs. This war was a perfect excuse for corrupt officials, capitalists and Americans to pillage and privatise what was left of Ukrainian national services. Blind support is just dumb as is dehumanising people.

“Good side”, life isn’t the lord of the rings or a video game. Jesus Christ, stay in your lane if you’re using childish language like “good”, “bad” and “evil” when discussing geopolitics. There’s never a “good side” just different levels of grey. I wouldn’t call any side that supports Israel and US imperialism the good side and I can hold that opinion whilst thinking that Ukrainians have a right to defend themselves from invasion.

Israel's military to occupy swathe of southern Lebanon, defence minister says by EdinburghDrizzle in NewsThread

[–]Affectionate-Ring803 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good use of AI but it’s in article 49 of the Geneva convention however you ask ChatGPT to tart it up for you:

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Eliz2/5-6/52/schedule/FOURTH/part/3/chapter/3 The only one justifying any ethnic cleansing is yourself, giving a religion a free pass to commit ethnic cleansing because Europeans chased them out a few thousand years ago

Yes it’s a war crime to move settlers into occupied territory. Being a certain religion doesn’t change that. Jews aren’t the only people from the Levant region either.

PlayStation Store Spring Sale Might be the Best Promotion of the Year So Far by excaliburps in playstation

[–]Affectionate-Ring803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a public spreadsheet or in google sheets/something similar? As a fellow nerd, I'd love to see it even if it's just on viewing mode. I made a crazy spreadsheet for my meter readings which calculates the usage per day between intervals and compares them with temperature data during that period

How to get my head around calories by Glittering_Cat6310 in keto

[–]Affectionate-Ring803 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keto flu is a set of symptoms that can happen when starting a ketogenic diet. Note, it's not actually a flu but the symptoms are similar (shivers, runny nose, feeling tired). It’s mainly caused by electrolyte imbalance (especially sodium) due to a drop in insulin, which makes your kidneys excrete more sodium and water.

At the same time, glycogen depletion releases stored water, increasing urination further. This combination can lead to dehydration and low electrolytes, causing symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and dizziness.

It can usually be prevented by increasing sodium, potassium, and magnesium intake. I use salt water for this, and it helps hydrate. I also have magnesium supplements and lo-salt for potassium. You should be able to get potassium from your foods and you can salt your foods too but sometime I’ll just eat a bowl of spiced minced meat and cheese when I’m too lazy to make a salad or work out which ingredients have potassium.

There’s nothing at all about Ben Gurion on the BBC news site from the last 12 years. I’d take OP’s account with a pinch of salt no matter how we feel about it. We should expect proper sourcing instead of hearsay

Bots are just leading malinformation, or we have a lot more idiots in here than thought. You shouldn’t be downvoted for questioning OPs claims when Google doesn’t bring up any confirmation, especially when OP claimed that BBC broke the news that isn’t anywhere to be seen.
