If only my TV had a Jellyfin app, I could switch, but alas it doesn’t. Got to use Plex if I want to watch stuff from any home streaming thingy. That said, it’s free to do that, at least.

I just don’t have the money or time to buy an external box and fiddle with it to get it running these days either, otherwise I’d build a modern version of the XBMC server I used to have in days gone by :-(

Wild how the terms of the cease-fire allow both sides to continue to attack each other, amirite?

Isn’t Politico owned by that rich mental dick head btw? Should we be using it as a news source?

But the big headlines today are the Americans bombing Iranian ships, today?

Funny looking cease-fire.

That said, even a real cease-fire doesn’t mean the two nations aren’t at war. It’s a cease-fire, not a peace deal. There still exists a state of war between them which can (and has, in this case) returned to active conflict.

The USA is at war with Iran, whether they like it or not.

My first question would be who are these middle east eye lot, not a news outfit I’d heard of. Wikipedia has this to say, for what it’s worth:

Middle East Eye (MEE) is a United Kingdom-based media website and channel that primarily focuses on news related to the Middle East, North Africa, and the broader Muslim world. Though the organisation denies it and will not disclose its funding sources, it is widely believed that the organisation is funded by the government of Qatar.

haha, I was just thinking about how this is very noticeable here in Manchester, then saw the URL!

Why must we make everything about Americans?

Sure, the guy paid a visit, but he’s hardly a big political or social force here in Europe.

The US seems to want us to be extremely focused on one small part of their war - the Strait of Hormuz. It’s all they ever harp on about.

What’s the situation across the rest of the theatre? How close is the US to accomplishing it’s primary war goals?

Why do they suspiciously want us to ignore everything else and focus on this one international shipping transit lane?

What allies?

We must continue to build our defences against US aggression.

They’ve already threatened to invade our allies on multiple occasions recently, and that’s on top of the deeply evil things they’re already doing, both to their own people and to others around the world.

We must take them seriously and protect ourselves.

They will come for us once they’re done crushing their own citizens, and once they’re finished securing their control over the global strategic and industrial resources needed for their future peer wars of domination against enemies and former allies.

It’s sad, I know, but it’s the reality we live in now. We mustn’t live in denial just because the future is scary. They will continue to do evil things like this, and eventually come for us.

Why don’t France want to go to war with a random country for lols? Are they COWARDS?!

The American military is a den of animals and monsters. disgusting subhuman cowards; Bloodthirsty beasts.

Dehumanising people, calling them animals, subhuman, beasts, etc - using their own horrid, evil tactics basically - is not how you win me, or anybody decent, over.

They can be bad people doing bad things, but the moment you try to persuade us that they’re not human, but are less than human (and it thus follows that doing bad things to them is more acceptable than doing bad things to actual human people), you immediately lose my support.

No thank you.

I wanted to keep using Boost, and they banned third party applications from Reddit.

Especially annoying given that their own application was awful and at times unusable with whole features completely missing.

How dare you contradict the Great Leader! He has said many times that it’s a War (the best war, nobody does wars like him)

Not our war, fuck off Miliband.

Irish Stew with pickled red cabbage on top.

Because I’m lazy and wanted to make something good that’d last a few days.

Did they actually have domestic concerns though?

It looks more like their Dictator wanted to start another war (possibly to distract from his many crimes, or to distract from his domestic racist death squads, or to raise his side’s standing in the upcoming elections, or to distract as he works to rig said election), and did so because nobody can stop him.

It seems to be very effective, people are paying huge amounts of attention to this, especially those who were on his side but starting to rethink their position given the continued fallout of the Files. Many of them have instead focused on him as a strong no nonsense wartime leader, which was, I suspect, the plan.

Anyway, just a reminder that a few weeks ago he also promised to use his military to annex a European NATO nation if it didn’t surrender in full to him and cede itself to be annexed.

Given that he’s started two crazy wars this year already, it would be unwise not to take him seriously when he threatens us directly.

The point being, aside from everything else, Europe must not drop its guard against US aggression. They will eventually turn their military sights on us, and we must stand together.

Don’t worry, I’m sure the USA will take responsibility for their actions and fully fund the environmental cleanup efforts, as well as apologise for having caused the disaster.

They are, after all, a noble people.

Ameyyrucahhh FUCK YEAAAA comin again to save the motherfuckin day YEAHH

The URL sounded a bit fishy (no pun intended) but they seem legit, so I’ll give it a read, cheers!

So, like, Spain no longer has access to any US trading businesses? No more Microsoft, no more AWS hosted services, no more access to any business trading out of the USA? All US trade with Spain?

Or… is he just lying?
