  • The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.

    That part just means they have to talk about it…

    Like if I walked up to you and said I wanted your house. You 100% can say no, but we just had a dialogue about it

    That meets the obligation


  • Upon the signing of this M.O.U., the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman, and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start, and considering the need for removing the technical and military obstacles and demining by the Islamic Republic of Iran, will be instated within 30 days. The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.

    Literally saying Iran can charge tolls for any traffic thru the strait…

    That’s a fucking huge amount of economic power, and everyone has to pay whatever they demand


  • claiming he was suffering from extreme emotional disturbance when he gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a judge said Wednesday.

    I’d rather see the argument that it was the only logical response to an illogical environment.

    It’s not that “everyone’s going crazy” these days, it’s that corporations and oligarchs aren’t withholding their end of the social contract, and forcing the cognitive dissonance on everyone that we still need to follow it will continue to lead to events like this.

    It’s bigger than Luigi and whatever that CEOs name was.

    This is just how people will react when they no longer believe society has their backs. And modern American society 100% does not have anyone’s back except oligarchs and corporations.

    But the effect of the shooter’s actions is quantifiable and resulted in claims getting approved and a shit ton of lives saved.

    Like, that’s going to be the big sticking point of this trial, it’s a trolley problem jury trial. I still think he’s getting off, even if they can prove it was him.



  • Biden was a zionist through and through.

    That’s my point…

    Biden was very open about the reason he’d give Israel anything, was a conversation he had with his dad as a very small child which boiled down to: the Jewish people have been treated even worse than Catholics, no matter what happens you have to always support Israel because they’ll come for Catholics next.

    Regardless of anything else, Biden will always be 100% loyal to Israel because of that

    trump doesn’t give a fuck about Israel if the arrangement is no longer profitable to him personally, he’s out.

    So Israel was better off with Biden/Kamala, because Kamala would be 100% loyal to Israel for just the money. But we will never have a more Israel aligned president than Biden, and Bibi is a fucking idiot for not doing all he could to get Biden a second term because of that


  • I’ll never understand how these people got popular

    Because people post about how stupid they are.

    That creates an incentive for them to say dumber shit, creating a feedback loop where the ones with the least shame become the most popular.

    Most of the people viewing streams by people like that, are “hate watching” but that inflates the views and people not in on the joke thinks it’s popular views and believe it.

    Like that old Mitchell and Webb sketch, views are views.

    The ironic part is they were talking about Trump’s show that led to him becoming president.


  • He really fucked up backing trump over Kamala…

    She’d have given him everything he wanted just like Biden did.

    But Bibi’s far right supporters wanted trump, and he can barely hang onto power with them. Eventually Israel is going to have elections again, and the Israelis that support the genocides aren’t happy because there’s not enough genocide, and the ones against it aren’t happy there’s any genocide.

    Bibi has never had a chance of re-election because of that, that’s why he’s cancelled ~5 elections in a row.

    If trump pulls out and leaves Israel to fight alone, we’ll actually see change in Israels government


  • Talking about how stupid streamers are, just make them more popular.

    Just stop fucking posting about them

    No one wants to hear about them, even if it’s jokes at their expense, because the vast majority of them (especially this shit stain) have obvious and vlearly sever mental issues.

    I wish I knew nothing about this guy, but he’s clearly fucked in the head. So punching at him is punching down for anyone of even a below average intelligence.



  • They really can’t…

    They can learn some critical thinking later, but it’ll never be the same as if they learned it as children.

    Like if you found out you were in the Olympics for the 100m sprint next year. You could improve your performance in a year, but you’ll never match someone whose trained their whole life at it.

    For all intents and purposes every improvement between now and next year aren’t gonna matter, last place is last place, regardless of your time.

    That’s what it would be like to not learn critical thinking until an adult.




  • Meh, typing has other advantages too.

    Like to memorize a random password or something, type it a couple times and when you need to remember it consciously you can just type it or even imagine typing it.

    But “muscle memory” helps you remember the password better than as a string of unrelated charecters.

    We just know the advantages of writing because it’s been around so long.

    The advantages of typing, aren’t proven or even discovered yet.

    But yeah, the answer is never one or the other, it’s both.

    I can find an endless stream of cops escalating violence against people who are not visibly armed.

    Can you show me one instance of police escalating to violence against a protestor with a rifle in their hands?

    Cops are scared bullies, they attack the weakest targets.

    When they see rifles, they go elsewhere.

    It’s not a “take” it’s what the fucking numbers say. Opinions aren’t relevant, neither is you believing anything.
