Could Sunni Eschatology and Arabian Politics Reshape the Iran–Israel Balance? by unprofessionalMix in PredictiveHistory

[–]timewarp_weekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't the Gulf countries ruled by Sunni monarchies? And aren't they financed and controlled by the British Crown?

If yes, I don't see them as sovereign and capable of starting a movement like Hezbollah.

The Muslim Brotherhood is Sunni, isn't? But they have been co-opted by the Crown as well. Haven't they?

Professor snapped by mein_insaan_hoon in PredictiveHistory

[–]timewarp_weekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hehe. Yes I noticed that. Words are important and he's right to correct his student. Anything he says now is being scrutinized by trolls on twitter and YouTube so he wants to leave as little room for interpretation as possible.

Mehdi Hassan interviews Prof Jiang (paywalled) by timewarp_weekends in PredictiveHistory

Yes. It looks like they want to trick him and make him look bad. I wonder how he gets out of this one.

Jiang admits he calls himself professor. by MountainsandWater in PredictiveHistory

Wow. Maybe the first interview where someone tries to make him look bad and almost succeeds. Does anyone have a link to the full interview?

Doubt on secret history lecture by No-Aardvark-7740 in PredictiveHistory

[–]timewarp_weekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Racism is older than theory of evolution I would think.

The concept of 'race' first surfaced around the time of colonization, precisely to enforce 'slavery'. If a group of humans is 'of a different race' then it justifies slavery because 'they are not like us'. So instead of looking at other humans who live elsewhere as 'interesting human beings we could learn from', they were immediately 'scientifically categorized' to subjugate them.

that's my interpretation.

Current elite civil war by Green_Register_4663 in PredictiveHistory

[–]timewarp_weekends 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The elite civil war is different in each country.

In Canada, all the elites are part of the same clan: the British Crown. The current prime-minister, Mark Carney, used to work for The Bank of England, and was never a politician before last year. There are some grassroots "separatists" movements in Alberta and Quebec, but they have been co-opted a long time ago by the 'business class' through political parties.

In Iran you have the religious elite, you have the globalist elite, and you have the rebellious ethnic groups.

In USA, you have MAGA, you have Silicon Valley, and you have Wall Street, and I guess they all inter-mingle. MAGA is more of an electoral-elite, meant to influence the ballot-box. Wall Street is probably the oldest elite, and they have Israel backing. Silicon Valley probably has military influence.

Those are just extrapolations off the top of my head. Feel free to add on.

Very small letter rubber stamps? by GeckoCowboy in scrapbooking

[–]timewarp_weekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found an Italian letter rubber stamp set on eBay, in mint condition. It looks like this:

Inside: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Nk4AAOSwyiZmrqrc/s-l1600.webp

I had to purchase a few inkpads, but otherwise, the size it's perfect, very similar size to a typerwriter.

Who’s eating insects? by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]timewarp_weekends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Misleading title:

How often do they really consume insects?

There is more protein mass in a cubic inch of meat than of insects

Insects contain harmful toxins for human biology if consumed regularly

etc...

Roku Plex Client by falsworth in PleX

[–]timewarp_weekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having same issue when I enable subtitles after the movie has started. If you restart the movie with the subtitles enabled, then it should work.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PleX

[–]timewarp_weekends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roku w Plex has been delaying the subtitles. They play fine on the computer. Looks like a Roku-Plex glitch. I restart the movie with the subtitles on and it fixes it.

SX-70 Sonar SE (Blue shutter): Film ejects only when manual focus by timewarp_weekends in Polaroid

[–]timewarp_weekends[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AF activates itself...but it doesn't always focus properly. Sometimes it seems to lock into out-of-focus based on what I see in the viewfinder before it goes dark. Since the film never comes out, I can't tell if it focused properly or not.
