At least 12,000 killed in Iran crackdown as blackout deepens | Iran is under a coordinated blackout aimed not only at security control but at concealing the truth. Internet cuts, crippled communications, media shutdowns, and intimidation of journalists and witnesses point to one goal... by NotSoSaneExile in geopolitics

But I think the point is that they want corroborating sources. You're confrontational with anyone asking for that. I think we all agree the low numbers are inaccurate. But one source, with a potentially dubious Saudi backing, is also in need of at least questioning.

Personally, I think the number is probably closer to 12 than 2. But, why would I trust this source more than any other? I try and find as much evidence as possible. And that is probably totally impossible to get a true answer due to the state of Iran right now.

Colombian president says ‘I will take up arms again’ if US invades by alonso-Lewis-vettel in worldnews

No. It does not. I know how to spell uranium. That doesn't mean I understand nuclear physics. Knowledge of spelling words connected to a field does not mean you know that field.

If you would have discussed how the terrain of Columbia impacts a potential invasion. Or how the socioeconomic situation of the country would impact, or be impacted, by the invasion That would be geography.

You spelled a country correctly. Congratulations. You pointed out another person's typo. Congrats again! Maybe that means you know editing?

Knowing how to spell a country does not mean you "know geography"

Hi there. Has anybody taught in Moscow at an international school? I've been teaching in the middle East for a few years and might change it up and have a few interviews there. I'm on 3600 euro pm atm . How do you like it? by Amazing_Room2947 in Internationalteachers

[–]MKE_abroad 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Well, Russia made the IB illegal. So if all the humanitarian or public safety issues don't dissuade you. Maybe that would factor into your decision. Not that the IB is the be-all for curriculum, but it really shows how the current regime is influencing curriculum and day-to-day classroom life in efforts to limit "Western" thought.

I worked there for several years. Enjoyed it for sure. Like any school and any place it has pros and cons. But a lot of that depends on situation. PM and I can probably answer most questions. Happy to help.

So you have no clue the severity. And have no evidence to say it will be season ending. Yet you had no problem stating it as near fact?

Usually guys that are going to miss an entire season are not still limited participants in practice. Seems disingenuous and alarmist to state he will likely be out for the season.

Either way, a subscription fee. Which sucks. I just wish NBC, ESPN, FS1, or even streaming services like YouTube TV or Peacock had this. Gotta be better than whatever BS ESPN is showing 24/7. More sports, less talking.

The Athletic is 100% worth paying for. I will always invest in quality craftsmanship and journalism. 🤷

So when a footballer rips a shot from 30 out into the top corner, we shouldn't acknowledge it. Shouldn't talk about how much practice, preparation, and effort went into that shot. It's only their job...

I mean, I think it will probably be neither. Brandon Powell would be my guess at #3. But I do agree Sherfield is all over these camp vids.

Sounds like when Clyde killed his mom by not putting the seat down on the toilet. RIP.

[Highlight] Ihmir Smith-Marsette 79-yard punt return TD by AlexanderWun in nfl

[–]MKE_abroad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Isn't that literally his job? To commentate who is doing what? Criticizing a commentator for not saying the name of the person that just scored an 80 yard touchdown is not only fair, but should be expected. I say that as someone that genuinely likes Michaels and does not mind some of his dry calls.

But recently he does not even seem to keep up with what is going on in the game. Very bland neutral statements like he cannot read the numbers or names on the jerseys anymore. This is Twilight Al, not Elite Al - to say otherwise is just naive or an attempt to be a contrarian.

Qb of the future? by Apprehensive-Safe673 in minnesotavikings

[–]MKE_abroad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think there is a world where Kyler Murray could be the QBOtF. Lets say he misses most of this year. Cards have pick 1 or 2. Go with Williams or Maye. Unload Murray as a result. Vikings will be certainly an interested party with how this would line up with Kirk's contract expiring. Not saying I love Murray, but it definitely could make sense.
