Amazon>hey do you want harry potter?>harry potter tablet?>harry potter dishwashing fluid?>harry potter audiobook book?>hey I just noticed that you just finished book #2 of isekai, and that you purchased book #3 in the last minute of book #2, so instead of playing onto #3, I'm giving you a "preview" of a harry potter audiobook. Please listen! Please buy!Amazon remains the absolute worst advertiser around, proving that it was always a lie that advertisers could even benefit from knowing anything about me, my purchases, my interests, etc.

@Bunsen @MCMLXVIIOTG @deprecated_ii I can't be anything but depressed about the imminent human sacrifice of US ground troops. It's such an obvious debacle with no likely upsides except that it'll be a little easier, psychologically, for Trump, to pull the US out of the region.buncha kids are going to die because Trump is too spineless to pull out without the deaths.

@Bunsen @spacemanspiff @deprecated_ii @Groomschild everyone in Israel has another country to go to.Even the pedophiles. They'll just get some state protection in lieu of the Israeli extradition shield.

@augustus it's true. The sun could fail to rise tomorrow: the sun could explode, or a FTL missile from a distant alien war could do a fly-by of the solar system and slow the Earth's spin. Or more realistically you could travel north or south far enough that the months pass in darkness. Or you could wake up from the simulation and find that you were in a decades-long VR game and that you are of a nearly immortal species with really immersive VR and you live on a ringworld with artificial night and no 'rising' sun."The sun rises tomorrow" is a statement loaded with physical context that can change, it's not logically irrefutable. You can deny it without such inherent self-contradiction that you're speaking nonsense.Hume may still make the case badly, with too strong an implication that you shouldn't use empirical knowledge (or knowledge based on a model of the world, like of the Earth rotating on its axis around the sun). The distinction is much more useful when it's in the direction of arguing about how valuable it is to have logically irrefutable assertions, that it's worthwhile to spend a lot of time on any of these you find.

@kirby that's because you had a goy phone. Satan's number is blocked on those.

@kirby also this is "bloody mary" for kids now, huh.What I did as a kid was dial toll-free numbers and have serious conversations with salesmen. Uh, yes, I am calling you. Please tell me about this computer that you have for sale.

@augustus even if your ancestors spent 10k years watching the sun rise over the Mediterranean, if you venture to the Arctic you'll see it hover in the sky for days.

@augustus btw1. Iranians writing in English use (ra) instead of (pbuh) after the name of a martyr2. Iranian attacks ceased suspiciously during Sisi's visits to Gulf Arab statesfrom these and from the story of Moses, we can conclude:3. we are living through a Ra vs. Baal holy war.

@pattykimura @Nonilex >enriching Iran or Russiatrade is mutually beneficial. We're enriched at the same time. If our system is better, our enrichment should go farther and punch higher. Decades of sanctions hasn't stopped Iran from doing what it's doing now, and 10k sanctions and 20+ rounds of EU sanctions has not caused the popular uprising and regime change that people actually predicted as the actual point of the first round of sanctions.100% of the actual effect of sanctions is internal to the sanctioning party: it prevents a bloc from forming of people who have good feelings about and good dealings with the enemy, who can do things like lobby your government to stop bombing them. This is it. "Enriching" the enemy with mutually beneficial trade is a magician's handwave for people who refuse to learn economics.

>If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!that's a nuclear power plantIran's already said that they'll hit energy infrastructure in return, and escalated the threat to desalination plants (though by the wording, maybe not Gulf Arab desalination immediately)Trump is actually the stupidest fucking man alive and is going to rape the corpse of the global economy like it's a trafficked child on Epstein island.This is why coping and 4d chessing and running cover are all bad things to do, actually, because Trump still doesn't get how bad this already is.

@Ariovistus @casuist @Terry it's also not the only way to stop the war. Trump's demonstrating an off-ramp with his 48h threat, a broader application of>ignore the Iranian position>make insane threats (test of Iranian resolve)>receive proportional threat (test passed, fuck)>remember the Iranian position>announce the original Iranian position as Iranian surrender in response to insane threats>declare victory>(quietly accede to Iranian demands)

Q: and everyone knows that Afroman didn't fuck your wife, right?A: I don't knoweveryone:>the cop doesn't know if Afroman fucked his wife?!what he doesn't know is whether "everyone knows" that. If everyone knows it's not true, then it's not defamatory and he wasn't harmed. This was Larry Flynt's defense in his defamation case.The cop very clearly goes on to emphasize that this is what he means, but people have such shallow memory that "I don't know" is remembered as its immediate interpretation,>why are you getting mad?! You JUST SAID that you didn't know if Afroman fucked your wife or not!no, what he JUST SAID is "I don't know"the lawyer is also misinterpreting that statement, and the protocol mismatch in the following conversation is pissing the cop off.

@jeremiah @Derb also, he can kill the members of the court that say he's not alive. What are they going to do, jail him? In a cemetary?

@Terry @CleverMoniker Ukrainian fantasizing at least comes off as sincere. These Axios "demands" are pure narrative support, so that people barely paying attention will notice the article and think: wow! Iran's losing really hard if this is how people are talking! I'd better keep my money in the stock market and the USD and buy all the dips!
