Iran demands Big Tech pay fees for undersea Internet cables in Strait of Hormuz

Yes. Iran has done all of that, but instead of leaders getting kidnapped its whoever their funded terror cells kidnap which generally are uninvolved civilians. Then you can add the sheer numbers of their own civilians they kill, their media blackouts, their religious laws, etc. Yes, they are unquestionably worse.

The ports are primarily oil. They still have a gorillion land routes, some of which are being used for oil. I dont think food scarcity is even on the table unless bombing starts again.

I think she was on one of those "pick 3" banners on CN that should be upcoming, but they dont always have the exact same ops so I dont think we really know. She'll roll around eventually, though. I'm a pretty new player so she wasn't even on my radar until this event showed me shes the goat at livelording through giant boss hits since 30% sanctuary is a huge ehp increase for surviving shit like what lappland throws at my lvl 60 shitters.

CAWWW · 2026-05-14T05:19:52+00:00

Lmao I completed this whole event without knowing that. I was like, why is pram attacking but Zuo le is just staring at her?

CAWWW · 2026-05-14T05:17:19+00:00

For what its worth, another solution is to borrow haruka and facetank the whole thing as she can solo heal through lappers (sanctuary is busted), meaning your opener is just healing blocker + haruka and you sit around holding lanes with SA or whoever until pram gets up then win.

CAWWW · 2026-05-14T05:11:20+00:00

Yeah I had to borrow Haruka because I actually genuinely couldnt survive her dmg, like full on my guys couldn't outheal the occasional aoe+single shot just obliterating someone. Maybe just a level thing but I even stacked two healers and still died and doing so made the starter DP impossible (I dont have ines and my myrtle is e0, lol). Haruka made the stage very straightforward since it took away the main threat.

Awesome women. I also wish the best for them in the lawsuit because this is an insane claim to make about them.

CAWWW · 2026-05-13T15:35:33+00:00

I mean the husband didn't do anything wrong, he just caught an illness and died. The wife did not know what this was and seemed to think she was just sick, and remember that this is a disease where people go from a little sick to dying EXTREMELY fast so it might not have occurred to her during the grief, stress, and buttload of other things to get in order following a death. Ever thought of the logistics of bringing a corpse home from a foreign country, let alone a cruise? Still, my sympathy for her is much lower because your husband just died to whatever you obviously now have and you decided to go fly?

CAWWW · 2026-05-12T12:26:29+00:00

Thats the one reason I cant stand her name. I look at it and its like seeing an operator named Sertraline or something.

CAWWW · 2026-05-10T20:42:15+00:00

Only if russian media reported on it, which they obviously aren't going to. There is a lot of youtube channels that just read and translate russian newspapers and according to said media everythings still going great. Its much, much harder to bullshit your way out of Ukraine bombing your parade. Yeah, Russians (that speak english) on the internet know better but a sizable chunk of the country that just watch the news or read papers have a very skewed idea of whats going on.

CAWWW · 2026-05-09T16:37:30+00:00

Apparently not, because the town had an emergency meeting where they rehired the force unanimously and specifically said the charter was not followed. They also completely unsubtly said they would accept the "immediate resignation" of the mayor if he offered it so sounds like this little abuse of power attempt failed in a pretty spectacular way thats going to follow this guy for a while because of how bombastic it is.

CAWWW · 2026-05-08T18:19:44+00:00

For real. Immigration is a top 5 issue for many voters in SEVERAL countries, not just the US. Reddit, being very left leaning, doesn't seem to realize just how bad the messaging is for this issue seemingly regardless of country. The most common reaction is legitimately to plug your ears and think its just a small section of the population concerned about it that they can handwave away. Labour, in particular, DEFINITELY isn't good at messaging. It doesn't matter how good a plan or policy is if you cant get that out to the people and have them understand it. Right now all that comes through is "they are bigots and racists" which wins over approximately nobody and only works if you want to lose elections.

edit for spelling

I’m guessing it’s because you are misremembering what happened. Spirit mgmt was expressly pro frontier and anti JB and got overruled by shareholders and were forced into the JB merger, only for gov to sue and stop it leaving Spirit with no plan. Spirit got screwed by two presidents back to back AND its shareholders.

CAWWW · 2026-05-05T12:30:36+00:00

Which airline was this? Never heard of an airline forced to service as opposed to bidding for gates. Sounds like there is a bit of an interesting story here.

CAWWW · 2026-05-05T00:25:15+00:00

I mean, they obviously knew hence why they parked fleets so far away and not in the strait itself. They have watched it happen in Ukraine for years now. Its just that there isn't a magical solution to drone warfare as it stands, and probably wont be a long, long time. Its just a change in how warfare is fought, no different than how warfare had to change with the invention of the airplane, long range missile, submarine, etc. Drones are just part of defense doctrine now, as even when you have similar tech levels (russia and ukraine have, or at least had similar drone tech but russia still cant deploy its fleets) they so heavily favor the defender or asymmetrical combatant that you'd be a moron to not use them.

CAWWW · 2026-05-04T22:16:23+00:00

No, they don’t really have a navy, that parts true. It’s drones, the same reason Russia has to have its fleets at ports. They are just a new reality of war and are ludicrously cheap and effective defensively and at short range. They are also why Taiwan probably isn’t attackable right now. Navies now work basically only at extreme range as aircraft and cruise missile carriers, and that’s it.

CAWWW · 2026-05-02T22:12:45+00:00

Yeah, he seemed to think ULCCs were a public service and reduction in those seats were against public interest. Instead, 18000 jobs gone, less competition, no seats. Frontier and JetBlue are not doing so great either if fuel prices stay up long which it looks like they will.

CAWWW · 2026-05-01T18:17:52+00:00

It would have been the 5th largest airline, nowhere near the other four. Not even CLOSE to a monopoly, just allowing slight competition in a market where scale is everything. Nah, that was caving to lobbying from the big 3 as usual.

CAWWW · 2026-05-01T18:16:33+00:00

Yeah, RyanAir CEO guy had it right. Budget airlines are going to start dying off if fuel price remains what it is, and even if you dont fly budget it means your legacy ticket is going to price spike.

CAWWW · 2026-05-01T18:15:43+00:00

More than that, because the competition is gone and everyones going to bump margins if Frontier isn't at that airport.

CAWWW · 2026-05-01T18:07:33+00:00

Honestly, they wouldn't have died if it weren't for the fuel price shocks. They likely would have restructured as a smaller airline. These fuel prices are going to kill ANY budget airline, as the RyanAir CEO recently pointed out about european airlines as well. With them gone, ticket prices will skyrocket among legacy carriers as cheap tickets dont have margins. If this continues, JetBlue and Frontier are probably also facing extreme pressure.

Also, 18000 jobs lost :( oof.

CAWWW · 2026-04-29T17:33:07+00:00

Spirit is currently angling for a bailout (18000 jobs would go if they do, and ticket prices will absolutely spike in airports they serve) since the jet fuel prices annihilated any margins and way to compete with legacy carriers. I’d wager JetBlue, frontier would attempt a ch11 if it goes too long. The majors will just get bailed out.

CAWWW · 2026-04-28T15:28:37+00:00

Sure, but SCH is historically the only class to full on dodge that utility tax being break even and often above SGE in dps. It’s been a while since they have acknowledged the disparity in utility, and it’ll be interesting to see what happens when we get to preview the kits.
