Where can I report this for drug promotion?

So Israel did the same thing as Iran, an attack that signals strength but isn’t really a serious attack, but Iran actually ended the current issue here. I wonder if that’s a level of finger too, that Israel couldn’t stop without having the last word, but Iran actually could.

Both countries don’t really want direct war with each other at this point, and Israel specifically has its hands full with Gaza and Hisbollah right now, its allies urging it to tone down the carnage and they have to snarl at an Iran that isn’t even willing to fight against the US wishes. I can only take from this that Netanyahu that war will end and he has to take his hat.

Realistically Iran doesn’t want a war right now. I think they’re quite okay with not getting a kill. They made their statement without really forcing Israel’s hand too much.

Although some warhawks are already masturbating to a fantasy of Israel retaliating.

Yeah, people have to remember that Iran not only announced a response but actually announced when they launched their drones that would take 9 hours to arrive so Israel has some time to prepare. This was show of force, probably for the domestic audience.

Good question. Some say boycott the whole show or just Israel’s song, I suppose you can boo if you’re on location or be loud in the chat on the official livestream, generally use the buzz on social media. Generally, they will be aware that people will want to register their disgust and will probably prepare themselves for that.

I’d say generally, participate normally in Eurovision discussion and then make noise or boycott when it’s Israel’s turn. The media that love to report on the event, as it has a reach bigger than the Superbowl, will pick it up when it’s enough noise.

Also watch out if some of the artists will say or do something. Iceland is always very itchy and gives no fucks.

At the very least, I think Eurovision next month will get even more awkward than it was already set out to be.

I mean, yeah. Most people don’t even come close to that when adding up everything they earn in a lifetime. So to get a billion before 30, where more than half of your life was in school and growing up. Not much to generate wealth for investments. Building companies takes time and money too and you’re not going to be a billionaire from working enough regular jobs.

Heck, if you want, you can pay with hard cash by mailing it with your payment token to their office. It’s pretty great when it comes to choice of privacy.

I mean, genocide is not a single event. Even a massacre is not necessarily genocide by itself. It’s a systemic, large scale process. If we’re going to the scale of genocide, it won’t be about one or two events, but a multitude of events at which point it’s getting hard to put the blame on a rogue person or on accidents.

That aside, it’s of course something that the IDF went from “we are a modern, precise army, the best of the crop” to “no, we can’t be at fault, we have no control over ourselves, everyone just does what they want”.

Yeah, Mullvad was searched and they shrugged and said “well, go ahead” and could then proudly publish that the Swedish authorities could take zero info from there: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/update-the-swedish-authorities-answered-our-protocol-request

I also liked that it doesn’t say that all followers of an ideology are good or bad people. A lot of media that tries to tackle ideologies just make everyone in the general direction of an opposing ideology horrible people. In Disco Elysium is not as black and white. There are good and bad people in every broad ideology. Are you a bad person, just because you believe in capitalism? No. Are you a good person, just because you believe in communism? Also no. Disco Elysium is very nuanced while making it’s cases.

When people asked for the USA to take a page out of Europe they didn’t mean from the 1930s

America, baby, what is you doing again

This is Hamburg and they do in Hamburg. The AFD barely made it over the 5% hurdle in the last election.

Given the soldiers that killed unarmed hostages against the order of their field commander they’re not even doing that.

Yeah, e.g. Merkel and Putin. Both can speak German and Russian very well, but they still used translators for offical talks. Too much of a risk to use a phrase or word that means something in one language, but translated it can mean something else or have bad implications.

On that level you don’t want an accidental misunderstanding.

Not even talking about insults, world leaders cpuld identify that, but imagine accidentally promising or indicating something you didn’t want to.

Had to do it recently, because my Steamdeck couldn’t use it. One firmware uodate and it worked like butter.

Also, Ted Cruz would be a domestic catastrophe that fills his and hid mates pockets with the money of others, but he would not be an instable insane nuke, ready to blow up something on a whim.

This is where we are right now.
