Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.
Unfortunately not quite that straightforward. Bulls that win usually still die from their wounds. If they survive, and if the matador believes the bull showed exceptional skill, they can be “spared” and are returned to the owners with a prize (though this is extremely rare)
When u just know it’s gonna need more than a band-aid
Yep, I’ve never really heard Rappelling used in the commonwealth countries (outside of super tourist-y areas).
In the US it’s generally called rappelling - abseiling is derived from the german term, but it’s seldom used in the states.
While everything you’re saying is accurate, Israel has established a concerning trend of outright targeting journalists in this conflict and this has all the hallmarks of that having been the case. So broadly yes make it very clear you’re not a combatant (tbf every kid from this region is taught how to do that, so it’s really unlikely these women were unaware of how to act) but also there’s fuck all you can do about Israel just wanting you dead.

All war is stupid but what the fuck even is this shit anymore?
So he finally gets something even an infant could spin into something his base would consider a “victory” out of this whole Iranian travesty and he immediately blows it in a fit of ego???
I just. I don’t even know what to say about this one beyond “god fucking damn this guy is just constantly finding new depths of stupid to plumb”
More on these whackjobs (via wikipedia):
In January 1941, Stern attempted to establish an agreement with the German Nazi authorities, offering to “actively take part in the war on Germany’s side” in return for German support for Jewish immigration to Palestine and establishing a Jewish state. Another attempt to contact the Germans was made in late 1941, but no German response has been found.
After the assassination, the new Israeli government declared Lehi a terrorist organization, arresting some 200 members and convicting some of the leaders.
Just before the first Israeli elections in January 1949, a general amnesty to Lehi members was granted by the government.
In 1980, Israel instituted a military decoration, an “award for activity in the struggle for the establishment of Israel”, the Lehi ribbon.
They reaaaaaally hated the brits (which is admittedly based) but had just the worst takes besides that. The allies with germany thing is possibly being overblown though - from everything I have read it was very much a known attempt to save the lives of the diaspora before the Final Solution was implemented. A bad and spectacularly racist way to approach it, but not one that’s completely without understandable motivations given what happened next.
But if you read the article, Iran did attack the ships (launched a drone at them).
According to the article, the ships turned their AIS on before reaching the straight and didn’t actually transit through the gap. Its posturing yes, but it’s them testing the resolve of the ceasefire not them successfully bullying their way through.
Pretty much. It would be nice to know if negotiations had even begun before they fell apart, though I guess I don’t think it would particularly change anything.
I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be the same war - I was remarking that the US and Israel appear to have stopped directly striking Iran, nothing beyond that. In no way am I saying that attacking lebanon isn’t a part of the same war, or wasn’t a violation of the ceasefire.
the 10 points ceasefire WAS this one
Where are you seeing this? I have found nowhere besides some reports (like this one) purporting to quote Iranian state media that claims all sides agreed to those terms - but even trump’s announcement presented the ‘10-point plan’ as the basis for future negotiations, not the terms of the ceasefire, which agrees with this statement from Iran:
So I am very curious where you heard that this was the case.
Yeah, sorry if that was unclear - I was just saying I don’t think they’ve attacked Iran directly during the ceasefire, Israel attacking lebanon is separate to that point.
edit: I have no idea why this is contentious?
Three parts of Iran’s 10-point ceasefire proposal have been violated, Ghalibaf said. The violations are Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon, the entry of a drone into Iranian airspace, and the denial of the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium, he said.
As far as I’m aware, the ceasefire was to negotiate the terms to end the war, which was what the 10-point plan was a part of - nobody has agreed to anything yet beyond a cessation of hostilities pending the reopening of the straight. This is difficult to follow, because Iran’s own reporting has been incredibly inconsistent about the contents of that plan and what they are saying the ceasefire actually entails, and to complicate it further the US/Israel have said barely anything about the negotiations or terms of the ceasefire (including as far as I am aware listing any terms beyond “reopening of the straight”.)
I can’t find any reports of the US or Israel attacking Iran directly during this ceasefire, though - the only mention in the article of a direct slight against Iran is that a drone may have violated Iranian airspace - so… there’s that? It sounds like the US still hasn’t started blowing Iran up again, which is… god…
IDK. To my armchair-geopoliticing-ass, this feels like Iran attempting to force the idea that the US/Israel agreed to their 10-point plan as terms of the ceasefire - something which seems extremely unlikely given that the terms (depending on the source) include “allowing Iranian nuclear enrichment” which seems like something that would be negotiated at a much later part of the process. Which is weird because they already have the whole “Israel still blowing up lebanon” thing to justify this.
Iran apparently also launched multiple barrages against Israel minutes after trump announced the ceasefire. I’ve got no idea what’s going on, but at least the US appears to have temporarily stopped bombing Iran while they try and explain this fuckfuck circus to High Commander Shitbritches… I suppose that’s something.
Iran, meanwhile, has fired several salvos of ballistic missiles at Israel since the ceasefire was reportedly supposed to take effect.
Yeah, did Iran/Israel actually negotiate a ceasefire between each other or was it just an Iran/US ceasefire…
IDK, the protests do seem to be pretty well attended, despite the apparent effort required…
The NRA embezzled themselves into irrelevance half a decade ago - they’re not a meaningful political entity anymore.
Yeah this article is… such an oversimplification as to be basically useless. Unfortunately this is one of the more complex topics in the whole of geopolitics, which is a shame because it is a really sexy topic to write an article about.
