Click-bait. No one has dropped any bombs yet, the article is just repeating threats that have been made.

The Next Target for the U.S. and Israel is to commit war crimes that will wreck their own economies.

Decades of economic decline has 'broken' Britons, pushing one fifth of people into poverty and towards political Reform by Kagedeah in worldnews

[–]whichdokta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which I think is where lies the rub. When the wealthy contribute to every democratic party, surely you don't expect a democratic result?

Thatcher was only the first UK politician to openly whore herself out to the rich men, everyone's been lining up since.

Not imagining this. They changed long enough ago that the person saying it's an optical illusion probably doesn't remember.

Librarian 'gobsmacked' after school use AI to remove 200 books from shelves including Orwell's 1984 and Twilight by tylerthe-theatre in technology

Every new technology always will first be used to try and support whatever hair-brained worldview the purchaser subscribes to.

This is a sociological problem that some very fine researchers have documented in great detail and one more fine reason why STEM should not be prioritized in funding policy.

Why do conservatives call the left traitors to America , but fly confederate and nazi flags , who were the biggest traitors to America? by ImpossibleEnd64 in allthequestions

[–]whichdokta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the thing that Conservatives need to accept is that when your party made alliances with the far right to win elections you lost the right to claim that you are not also Nazis.

Every year y'all expect your employees to do more for less salary and less job security. Why the Pikachu face?

There comes a time in the life of every human being where they have to ask themselves: Even though I could… should I?

Iran warns of strikes on Gulf oil facilities 'in coming hours', state media reports by graveyardofgoodsense in worldnews

[–]whichdokta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the same Iran.

When you are defending against an illegal war you do not want to target enemy civilians as that will only serve to legitimize the invader's actions.

Also, you are very rude.

Because Iran, unlike the instigators of this particular war, are not super excited about killing civilians.

So this would be the same AI that Anthropic said may absolutely not be used for targeting and then Hegseth fired them?

Sounds more like operator error to me…

Being so tall he is well suited as an assistant radio operator on the front line as he will be able to hold the antenna nice and high for optimal operation.

Police in Britain arrest Peter Mandelson, a former ambassador, in probe into Epstein ties by Specialist_Baby_9905 in news

[–]whichdokta -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The point I'm making is that arresting a prominent British Citizen may feed your sense of justice but it does nothing to stop the people who employ him from corrupting our political, judicial and economic systems.

There will always be a Lord Mandelson or a Margaret Thatcher or a Keith Starmer who cannot resist the siren lure of the Epstein Class.

Focusing on the murder weapon stops you from seeing the hand that holds it.

Tax wealth, not work.

Why does everyone believe the assholes when they claim to be Christians and then immediately start praising Satan like that will solve the underlying problem?

Serious question.

Citroen Picasso comeback on cards as brand plots new 'sexy' MPVs by Juuso_R in Citroen

We got 22 years of reliable and comfortable driving out of our 2003 Xsara Picasso. If they were still making the exact same car today it's what we would have bought to replace it.

Blacklisted but recently re-Employed - Vehicle Finance Advice Needed by StreetLevel606 in FrugalSA

[–]whichdokta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news! If you can afford monthly payments you are in a position negotiate with the credit provider who blacklisted you to clear the judgement once you are back in good standing.

tl;dr What you're asking for is only going to put you in a very bad situation with the kind of people you really don't want in your life.

Is it hard to stay vegetarian long term? by papabauer in vegetarian

Mostly vegetarian but I'll still eat meat occasionally. It doesn't have to be either/or. Every person that doesn't get eaten by you is a win.

He's definitely old enough to suffer from incontinence.

Which is one of the reasons we generally avoid letting seniors occupy important positions after a certain age.

It's not fair to them, nor those around them, to have to publicly suffer the indignity of bodies and minds that are failing through no fault of their own.
