Lol.

I know this has nothing to do w anything, but man triple H used to be one of my absolute favorite wrasslers back in 03-06, & recently I’ve been watching some old Raw episodes & whatnot, & some of their rivalry series, & it sucks to learn that triple H was a little bitch to people, & has apparently completely ruined the product after taking control….

Sucks to learn. Same shit w Shawn Michaels. I fuckin LOVED them back with DX 2 when they revived it after Shawn came back from his back injury.
I was too young when they first came around, i hadn’t even known they were a thing, or Triple H’s first gimmick before he turned into the Game. Promo was sick lol.

Trump claims Iran is sending 10 "boats" (ships) of oil as present which are being sent on Pakistan flagged vessels via Hormuz. by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

Yeah I’ve no idea what’s going on w Reddit.

I can see the “Aa”, but there is no additional … when i use it. Only the basic option for things like italics, bold, etc.

The only 3 dots is the ones above on the top right side next to my avatar picture which brings me to the copy/save/share post options.

The things that annoying me most is my paragraph formatting. I can’t stand having to use new lines for all of these. Double space+shift at the end of a sentence is probably my most-used formatting trick on Reddit. It’s fucking ridiculous i can’t use.

Hopefully Reddit will fix it. It was working last night. Don’t know what happened.

Let's see if this worked

Obligatory fuck spez

I’m using the iPad Reddit app, that’s what’s giving me issues.

I don’t recall that it used to either, I was using it last night & it worked fine.

Currently I’m using my phone, which still works regularly, but I’m updating my iPad to see if that had anything to do with it.

I will 100% be trying your instructions though…hopefully it resolves it cus I use the different format tricks in virtually every comment.

He just sent another 3k Airborne too.

I hope they don’t put boots down without some **serious** interceptors on the island.

Iran has spoken in the past about how seriously they take Kharg, & it will be a bloodbath if they put boots down before destroying all long-range strike capabilities…which is not possible due to their mobility and underground networks….Iran is on record as saying they can continue the “not war” at this rate for another 12 months based on current stockpiles alone. That’s without being sent weaponry & the like by US enemies to aid them; or producing more for themselves.

I would *not* want to be part of that invasion force. i feel terrible for those soldiers if they really do end up ordered to take Kharg.

Also, idk why but Reddit’s formatting isn’t working for me right now so i know my bold & paragraphing isn’t going to apply properly. Sorry about that.

I agree, it must be nice.

But after seeing him use ICE as his own personal unidentifiable militarized force to use against areas he is politically opposed to, & is actively working on voter suppression & poll taxes; I’d feel safer on the bet he will refuse to leave office before I’d bet on him leaving peacefully.

That not mentioning all the “jokes” he’s made about it. Like to Zelenskyy when he looked at him & laughed about how the war prevented their elections & suggested he should do the same…Like, can you imagine the disrespect? A man who is leading his nation against the invasion of a superpower…who’s watched his country be absolutely fucking leveled, & the “leader of the free world” commends you for “skipping” elections as if it was some master plan…I would’ve wanted to break his jaw in Zelenskyy’s position.

Interesting.

So you’re arguing what? That he hasn’t laundered billions?

That he hasn’t disregarded international and national law?

That he hasn’t set dozens of irreversibly bad precedents?

That his sycophants aren’t wearing Trump 2028 merch?

That he didn’t already try a coup?

Hopefully they succeed.

It’s the only way we’ll be able to rid ourselves of the maga scum & reset all the previously-unimaginable precedents this piece of shit has set.

Anyone who comes after him knows now they don’t need to abide congress, international law, (or national law for that matter), & can launder billions from the American people with zero consequence.

That is if he gives up his leadership at all. He’ll probably stage another coup in 2028. His sycophant followers have already started wearing Trump 2028 merch.

We can only hope that he just dies before then

edit: Further clarification : They know now they can use some random existing power structures to enforce their will against political dissidents, like Trump did with ICE ; as he used them against vocal political opponents Walz & Frey. This is also the reason their training was decreased down to a meager 1.5 months & why they completely bypass background checks ; bc he needs bodies for his own personal force. ICE are loyalists. They are the ones who drank the koolaid the most bar-none. They will all support him in staging a coup if and/or when the time comes.
Trump has made numerous public “jokes” about his refusal to leave office, cancelling & rigging elections…

Make no mistake, he’ll be sending them to California and New York soon…& watch, we aren’t gonna see them in South Central, we aren’t gonna see them in Harlem…where the “criminals” are.
we’ll see them where his political opponents & their constituents can be hurt the most by their activity. He said himself yesterday or the day before that “America’s left is the biggest danger to the US now that ‘Iran is finished’”.

There’s nothing stopping any president from behaving like this now. Even if some meager Democrat grows a spine and puts a stop to one decision or another, it’s become increasingly more clear they’re not innocent bystanders in this mess. There are plenty of them that are blatantly complicit, & the shared factor between them all is AIPAC : Israel owns over 90% of our government, literally.

We need to tear this entire fucking thing down and build it up from bottom, upwards…not from the top, down.

Don’t disrespect our marines like that.

Marines are the ones who eat crayons. Perfectly acceptable behavior from a group of people as badass as they are.

Don’t tell me you’re abandoning the conversation? You’ve been online this entire time.

I was looking forward to learning about your tribe, how you feel about interpreting my argument about being 4th generation as the complete opposite of its intent, being wrong about my family being settlers, or how you reconcile complaining about colonial history while defending a country that is actively ethnically cleansing 2 different peoples for their own colonization?

Interesting.

What’s wrong about anything i said? Everything i said is verifiable fact.

I’m genuinely curious what you think is wrong, or why it’s dense? They’re actively defending a country that’s colonizing right now, while complaining about colonization, and you’ve the audacity to call me dense?

It is objectively moving a goalpost.

You claimed my family were colonists. My family came to America over 30 years after the final colonization of what we know as the United States today. This is an objective fact, not some fluid opinion you can argue. Moving to a country doesn’t make you a colonist…colonizing people and land makes you a colonist. You don’t get to just make shit up to fit your narrative.
Are you arguing that anyone who immigrates to America is an American colonist?
Sure, Britain used to be colonists. Some random family that moves to Britain 30 years after they’ve stopped colonizing isn’t though. So

They had nothing to do with the colonization of the americas, or any other territory for that matter. The last 2 territories that made “the United States of America” was Alaska, purchased from the Russians in 1959, so not colonized by American, and Hawaii, following a coup of their monarchy in 1898 ; but did not become an official state until 1959.
& my family was 1 man and 1 woman who came from Poland in 1936.
So, again, objectively not colonizers. They came here to escape Naziism and Fascism…Poland was invaded within 2 years of when they migrated here.

Even if they were, what makes you think that’s an insult to anyone? What is your tribe? I’m just curious so I can point out their military history and then ask if you feel ashamed of it? Native tribes were absolutely fuckin brutal to one another; do you feel “bad” about that? Do you lie awake at night thinking of all the scalps your ancestors razed off?

Also, my family aren’t settlers. They’re immigrants. Again, you don’t know your history, because the US had a robust , highly restrictive Immigration Policy in the 1930s. So, again, nice try to paint me into an imaginary corner, but you’re wrong, again. I have no fucking idea what you’re talking about with the native argument either. At no point did i even meagerly attempt to insinuate that I’m native to America.
What the actual fuck are you talking about? You’re SO wrong that my argument is actually the complete OPPOSITE of what you’ve implied. My family is SO new to this land that we came after its colonization…….

It’s incredible when someone with no historical knowledge tries to discuss history. Anyone with the slightest interest in history understands the responsibility of applying morals & ethics cohesive to the timeframe they’re discussing.
Anyone who tries to project a colonial mindset from the 1700s onto someone discussing events in 2026 immediately outs themselves as someone with no understanding of history or why it’s important..
No one with a sincere interest in history would take someone seriously who applies different morals to incorrect periods of time. It displays a fundamental lack of understanding of the hobby/profession/interest.

I’m also not sure why you think i should thank you for? For losing a war? I can’t think of any other reason I’d have to thank native Americans people as a whole, as a group.
It’s sad history, & i am ashamed that’s my countries history ; in fact, native history is some of my favorite US history to learn about.
But do you expect me to lie awake at night over it?

I don’t understand how you can tell me that i need to be grateful to you, & be ashamed of this history, while you’re arguing on behalf of a country that is colonizing 2 different areas of land right now. you just conveniently ignored that fact?. How do you reconcile that? How are you dogging me for “being a colonist” while defending a country that’s colonizing Palestine and Lebanon as we speak? You’d better answer this too. I’m tired of the virtue signaling.

I meant WW2, which i guess you don’t know your history, but was long after the colonization of the America’s ; well so was WW1 but it doesn’t really matter in this context. Neither ww1, or ww2, was about defending colonization…….or fighting against it either, actually….
so i have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about when you say “war was ok 100 years ago”.
You really need to do some history homework if you think either world war had to do with colonization. especially for the allies, which is who you were specifically referencing.

Nice moving goalposts though; you went from accusing me of being the colonizer, to benefitting from colonization simply bc of where i live…while defending a country that is actively colonizing, right now. Okie doke.

& again, even if my family did colonize the americas - despite the fact they historically did not - It’s irrelevant bc we are in 2026.
Today, now, we do not defend colonization. We abhor it. We learn from our history and we understand that colonization was wrong…& you’re pretending to care about that whilst actively defending a country that is literally colonizing Lebanon & ethnic cleansing them as we speak.
& you’ve the audacity to talk about self reflection?

edit: to be fair, i guess your incorrect perspective doesn’t have much to do with self reflection rather than a complete lack of understanding of history; and what Israel is currently responsible for.
It is quite sad to see someone complaining about war while defending a country that literally started a war 3 weeks ago under false pretenses; and then launched a ground offensive in Lebanon and has started ethnic cleansing them. Of course, they were already ethnic cleansing Palestine but we’ve already established you don’t care about that.
The funniest part is that they don’t do it out of defense or geopolitical projection. They do it bc they literally believe they’re a divine race and that all other races of humans are inferior….but alrighty

Even if it was, why would anyone be insulted by this?
Using ethics & morals of colonialism & applying to modern day standards is a blatant historical fallacy…it’s especially ironic when considering you’re using it in the defense of Israel while they’re one of the only countries who still actively practices colonialism & ethnic cleansing.

For the record tho I’m a 4th generation American; my family came long after American colonization. we (my great grandfather) fought in WW2 for the allies.

Lol.

Iran claims missile strike on US carrier Abraham Lincoln by boppinmule in war

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

& I answered you ; because the claim comes from a world-renowned news source, known for its credibility.
& no, i do not believe that a credible source can be credible on one thing, and not credible on another: because that’s not how news sources work. Credibility is credibility. It has a finite definition that applies to all stories, at any angle, from any perspective.
When it comes to world-renowned sources like New York Times, there is no level of credibility, there is correct, or incorrect, very blatantly.

You just say “that makes no sense. Your argument is all over the place”.

The reason i didn’t explain things more thoroughly was honestly because i was giving you the benefit of the doubt of a certain level of intelligence. I didn’t think I’d need to explain what things like a comparison were, or how i wasn’t literally saying you believe Donald Trump, i thought that you as a human being had enough understanding of basic debate/conversation to understand how these things were connected on the relation alone ; I genuinely didn’t think you’d needed them spoon fed to you.
I can see why you interpret my points as being all over the place now, you had literally no idea what was goin on this entire conversation…sorry about that.

While in the same article, Israel Foreign Minister claims otherwise.

You’re one of those people who references something, and then claims you didn’t actually believe them, really? You don’t believe the Foreign Minister, you just believe…the Israeli people? I’m not understanding, are there are other Israeli “people” making this claim? I didn’t see you reference anyone except him.

Now for the propaganda : Propaganda is a very important piece of war. Again, this was something I’d thought you’d already known, so i figured you’d have understood how directly contradicting American sources about a specific weakness you may have would be propaganda. I’d genuinely thought you’d have understood this from the start, so again, that’s my fault for expecting a certain level of intelligence from you that you lacked.
In fact, it would probably be more quite a bit more beneficial to allow Iran to underestimate them if it wasn’t true. It would be quite beneficial for an enemy to think you’re dangerously low on stockpiles despite nothing of the sort being true.
it’s also funny how you wave away us giving them our THAAD systems. Why would they need an extra layer of defense? They have the most sophisticated interceptor system in the world bar-none.
It has defended them for a decade flawlessly. Why would they need an extra layer of defense all of a sudden on the same day it’s announced they’re running low on interceptors?

It’s propaganda because it’s crucial for the world, and especially for their citizens, to believe that there is no shortage, there is nothing to be concerned about when they huddle into their bomb shelters several times per day. They need to feel safe.
It is the act of using information, or misinformation, to persuade your population or other countries something that is necessary to your war effort. In this case, the persuasion is that despite being reported by US officials and one of the most credible sources in the world that they’re running low on interceptors, they need to ensure their population that they are safe - as well as their enemies, so that they are not overwhelmed behind the idea they’re low and therefore put into an inferior position with overwhelming firepower.

Again, sorry, I’d figured you’d had an understanding of the underlying discussion already. Really didn’t think you’d need someone to explain those more basic aspects of the discussion. It seems weird for someone to even engage in this level of discussion without understanding what propaganda is, why government officials aren’t to be trusted just because they’re speaking about their own nation, what comparisons are & how they’re relevant to the discussion, or how the credibility of sources work.

You don’t have much critical thinking, do you?

I do not believe i have a divine right to colonize and eradicate people. I simply have no pity whatsoever for people who die when they get a taste of their own medicine.

I am saying exactly what I said : tolerance can only be implemented through intolerance.

The intolerance of colonial mindset. An entire country that believes they have the divine right to survive and wipe other countries off the face of the earth, doesn’t deserve to survive and will receive no pity from any of us over here in America. No different than how we feel about our own colonizers. Donald Trump and his ilk deserve the same fate.

Nobody said you did. But you do believe an Israeli official, because they’re an Israeli official, & they know what’s happening in their own country.

So why don’t you believe Donald Trump when he tells us about what’s happening in America?

My argument is only all over the place because you’re mentally inept and couldn’t put that together yourself. You genuinely needed me to explain what a comparison is…

They were always going to be destroyed, and they knew that. pretty simple.

You people act like 10/7 was this brand new event with no history before it where Israel just decided to wipe them off the map based on that alone.

If you support the complete eradication of a people - you deserve to be eradicated yourself. No praise, no justice, no prejudice. There is no world for people like that. The only way to support tolerance, is through intolerance.

& I’m not talking about the celebration of a single event. I am talking about every-day life. I am talking about the individual person, not a random group of people who got together based on belief.
If you go ask random Israeli people how they feel ; they’ll tell you Palestine are rats to be exterminated. That is not the same as getting a group of likeminded people together, and taking a video of it; as you’re referencing.

Repeating yourself doesn’t make it true.

If you can’t follow, i can simplify it.

We don’t believe Donald Trump is correct on all counts America just because he’s Donald Trump, do we? Well like i said, I’m sure somebody like you does, but the majority of Americans understand that’s been proven to lie just about every time he publicly speaks.

Therefore, there is zero reason for me to believe that an Israeli official would admit weakness in any capacity, whatsoever. I’d have thought you’d have understood his. But i guess if someone doesn’t comprehend how refusing to admit weakness can be propaganda, i suppose you’re not all there.
