I personally find marvel movies boring, and a misuse of wealth, but marvel films aren’t boring in the same way that cars going around in a circle is boring, and they’re not gruesome in the way that eagerly waiting to see real people injured is gruesome.

See i was gonna say good because all motorsports are boring and gruesome displays of misused wealth.

considering this corrupt regime has assassinated our leader

As a sport hating atheist it’s very weird to agree with the sports minister of a theocracy.

But you gotta admit, that’s a completely accurate assessment and a reasonable reaction.

I think the headline is designed to be misleading - the dramatic tone implies a worse situation than the actual words describe.

It’s not how headlines are written now, but it would be more honest to say: Dubai to rely less on fresh food Perishable food in limited supply Fresh fruit and vegetables affected by war in iran

The UAE is not about to starve. It maintains strategic grain reserves and holds significant stocks of frozen and packaged foods, meaning the country is not facing a broader food shortage.

I am become derp, destroyer of worlds.

Yeah i agree - states are institutions dedicated to violence. Whether or not they did some arcane legal rituals before murdering iranians and americans is hardly the point.

But i do think it matters to show that the state is lying when it claims to use violence legitimately. It doesn’t even adher to its own made up rules.

And it matters that their violence is so unpopular that they can’t even let a body as unrepresentative as the US congress get a say.

The Greens senator David Shoebridge called the prime minister’s claim that no Australian personnel were involved in offensive action “extraordinary” and said it was inevitable that Australian personnel would be involved in US action.

“This makes Australia obviously, clearly, unambiguously, part of an illegal war, part of a war that is breaking down the norms of international law and making the world a less safe place,” he said.

“It is as sure as day follows night that Australians throughout the US military are actively involved, part of the United States and Israel’s illegal war in Iran.” … According to the Royal Australian Navy, one in 10 crew members onboard US Navy attack submarines is Australian.

1 in 10 is a lot!

How much of our air defensive stockpile do you think our russia backed regime can expend protecting the wealth of the royal house of saud?

No good outcome is possible from two brutal murdeous authoritarian regimes attacking a third.

There was a solid, enforcable, internationally recognized deal that all credible experts agree was working and keeping iran’s nuclear industry civilian. Whatever happened to that?

several incidents of this kind have been reported, including two in 2022. In one case, a speedboat coming from the United States fired on Cuban Border Guard forces near Villa Clara, injuring a Cuban officer.

The other incident took place in Bahía Honda, in western Cuba, when a vessel also coming from the United States collided with an Interior Ministry patrol boat, causing the U.S. craft to sink and killing several of its occupants.

Authorities on the island frequently report finding abandoned or seized speedboats along the northern coast (Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Havana), commonly used to pick up potential migrants. They describe these operations as “territorial violations and human trafficking.”

Being named or pictured in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing.

😂😂😂 “Hey rich pedophiles, please don’t sue us!”

“Rules Based International Order” is just what the american empire calls itself in public. It’s sum total of the structures set up by and for US hegemony. Like how the Athenian Empire called itself the Delian League.

In a sense, there’s no purer expression of the rules based international order than illegally annexing territories for their oil.

War has always been a racket, since long before the west was a thing.

Killing people so you can take their stuff dates back to at least our last common ancenstor with chimpanzees.

Bosses when someone starts suggesting that good will towards all includes livable wages and safe conditions.

given the fossil and archeological evidence for the spread of H. sapiens into the Levant and Arabia during [the era 130,000 to 80,000 years ago] and absence of Homo neanderthalensis from the Levant at that time, we argue that H. sapiens was responsible for the tracks at Alathar.

Scientists: Since we already know H. Sapiens was here then, we think they did it.

Headline: Human footprints shouldn’t be here then!

Those articles contradict your claims, because you’re wrong.

They very clearly state that men report intimate partner violence at lower rates than women do, which explains why M/M IPV numbers are low and F/F higher.

Thank you for proving youself wrong! I trust you’ll update your opinions and beliefs accordingly.

If humans are more likely to take photos of racoons they find cute, we’d expect those racoons to have cuter features than the average racoon. It might not be actual change going on, is the point being made.

We don’t conciously notice the snout length, just the ones we think are cute are probably slightly more likely to have a shorter snout.

Yeah that seems like it should be the case, right? This particular event does look like just an indie film fest that should’ve gone ahead to me.

But plenty of chinese dissidents are right wing lunatics. A lot are fundementalist christians or say, explicitly pro fascist meditation cults who fund trump and orban and claim to levitate, like the falun gong.

If you look at the damage the substantially far-right cuban expat community have done to politics in florida and pressuring towards bad policies and war nationally, id be more careful about which anti-china voices to empower.
