I really hate to be that guy, but-
Lean into it. Screenshot posting is a blight.
You like NZ? I visited a year or so ago. Had a great time. I had the most based cab driver in Auckland. He was an Arab who had lived in NZ for like 30 years and who completely loathed Ardern. Ranted about the uncontrolled immigration, number of Chinese coming in, and even Muslim refugees. He kept talking shit any time we passed a road sign with Maori on it too.
Point. I'd give that one a "probably" not a "definitely"
3 trannies? I only clocked two. Second from bottom left and second from top right.
Yes, two danger hairs. Like I said, I see more than that every day at lunch. Average females.
It's interesting to compare and contrast Christianity and Islam.
Christianity originated when its founder, a religious reformer, was killed.
Islam originated when its founder, a religious reformer (and self-proclaimed prophet), died of natural causes after having united almost all the Arab peoples into one hell of a fighting force that quickly conquered most of the world from Spain to China.
Jesus' messaging includes statements like "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's...." This is a reminder that early Christians were persecuted by the Jewish rules and later, to some degree, Romans (though Roman persecution is way overhyped). Many Christians have a mentality of identifying with the downtrodden, the persecuted, those outside of power, etc.
Islam, to the contrary, does not have this same emphasis on self-preservation in the face of hostile political or religious organizations. Islam, during the time of Muhammad, militarily defeated his opposition! Thus some of the gravest crimes in Islam are related to apostasy and turning away from Islam (historically apostasy was a death penalty crime, and it still is today in some countries).
Without getting too long winded, yeah, I think there's an old strain of Christianity that DOES focus on the "turn the other cheek" (and not the rest of the quote), the "render unto Caesars" and the "blessed are the poors."
And, to be fair, Islam and Christianity share an awful lot in common in terms of moral teaching. THere's a big emphasis on charity, helping the downtrodden, etc.
Not a single fuckable girl in that picture.
Assuming you're saying that based on physical appearance and not the assumption that they are insufferable SJW progressive DEI activists, damn. I mean, maybe half of them are just perfectly normal looking women. I see more obese dangerhairs on the sidewalk walking to lunch every day.
Low blow.
Damn, I had no idea how cheap 12tb drives were. That's amazing.
I'm doing the Plex thing too. I don't love Plex, but it's pretty good.
What kind of NAS are you using? Mine is 12tb and I'm out of space. Thinking to upgrade.
Blame the French. With the end of European colonialism and rule in the middle east, Lebanon's borders were specifically drawn to give the Christians at most an incredibly slim majority, thus making them dependent on Europe to stay in power. It didn't work out. They got flooded out by Palestinians, Christians emigrated, and the Muslims had a lot more babies.
If the French had not deliberately gerrymandered in some heavily Muslim areas, Lebanon would still be a Christian majority country.
Lebanon has not had an official census since 1932. The Christians know their share will have fallen dramatically (maybe 30-35%), and this would mean an end to the power sharing agreement that keeps Lebanon at least vaguelly held together.
In my town there are multiple yard signs "Childless Cat Lady for Harris." I've seen a "Childlress Dog Dads for Harris." Today I saw a bumper stick with a picture of a cat that said Harris+Walz.
Left is leaning hard into that and, well, it fits.
That actually happened to one of my best friends. His mom died when he was very young and his dad came out while he was in middle school. He was uber Jewish socialist leftist through highschool and into college when he had a mental breakdown, took a semester off, and when he came back, he was like a new man. Literally. Devout, fiscally and socially conservative, married a nice girl, two kids, he's a big Trump supporter now, etc.
He gets along with his dad (though I notice they don't visit often..), but it was a huge change.
Ahhh, ok, that helps explain it.
There are vtuber Only Fans??
Archive link from what u/RondoOBlongo posted:
I don't think there's any way to trick archive.is? The archive was made in 2021, and twitter.com shows the current user string, regardless of what was on the original tweet.
I've got no dog in this fight, but the tweet archive seems legit.
Plus she can say shit like this that makes me think she isn't that pc lol.
So what am I watching here? I'm not sure I've ever felt so old, lol. I don't understand this video.
the most plausible theory with the pagers is as following: they set up a fake company in Hungary, they buy pagers and such from Gold Apollo, they stick explosives in them, do some advertising in Lebanon as being the cheapest bestest around, then presumably just guess which shipment is going mostly to Hezbollah and send the bombs over. couple mohammedans blow up, couple little girls blow up, couple doctors blow up, all the same to them.
Partly, but I think you're missing some key parts. i think it's more likely that they used human intelligence and agents within Hezbollah to set up the purchase and it was done in such a way that it was certain the booby trapped pagers were going to Hezbollah. That explains the seemingly very low civilian casualty rate (maybe 4,000+ explosions, and a handful of civilians, including two children from what I am reading).
Additionally, for the pagers and walkies to have been modified this way, you should also immediately suspect that this means similar attacks have bugged or other compromised the communications themselves.
The attack maimed many Hezbollah members, but I think the bigger issue is the communications disruption. Hezbollah can't trust any of its technology and any of its network. They have to assume they have been totally compromised.
THe end result will make things harder for Israel, so my guess is Israel will something large soon.
You underestimate how evil our government is.
I really don't! And yes, I agree about Epstein island. If not CIA, Israel was certainly involved.
Assuming Israel didn't steal the idea from said three-letter agencies to begin with.
They did.
Mossad is one of the best intelligence agencies in the world, in part because they play for fucking keeps. America has done some absolutely insane stuff, but we are still generally more limited in what we can do.
A very typical Mossad operation involvings entrapping agents. For example, target a wealthy Egyptian businessman with a lucrative business deal using shell companies. Set up a meeting somewhere public. Have the businessman meet with someone--could be a male prostitute, a known Jew/Israeli, someone with Iranian ties, whatever, someone this person would not want to be associated with. Show them signing documents, shaking hands, exchanging money, whatever, and record and get photographs of the whole thing.
What, this rich Egyptian dude doesn't want his pictures meeting with a male prostitute made public? He doesn't want pictures shaking hand with an Israeli government agent shared with the Egyptian government? etc.
Now he's controllable, and every single thing you get him to do, you record, and you gain even more leverage over him.
This is really the typical method of operations for all intel agencies, but Mossad is particularly good at it.
CIA, KGB, everyone has, for many decades, intercepted shipments of electronics and other products. The French intelligence agency bugged all of the business class seats of all Air France airplanes so they could spy on international businessmen discussing deals and then share that information with French corporations. (And when I say intercept, this can be done at any time from production to delivery.)
That's exactly what the CIA did to the Iranian centrifuges. That was a multi-country operations involving multiple levels of companies that were controlled or infiltrated by intelligence services.
Blowing up thousands of pagers and walkie talkies remotely is one of the more audacious things I've ever heard about it. I personally feel like it was pretty fair. Hezbollah considers themselves fighters, so I think they're a fair target.
I wasn't going to say it, and his "Early Life" section (and subject tags) on Wikipedia are surprisingly scarce. But yes, he was Jewish and attended Yeshiva college. His obituary is clear, and the donation organization are Jewish and Israeli.
I absolutely should have included John Money in the list of hacks and frauds pushing an agenda.
This is what. happened:

A groundbreaking study that "proved" clinical diagnoses were unreliable. Guess what the author and the study were fake and gay.

David Rosenhan's academic fraud has done inestimable damage to the world.
I've seen the Tolkien Edit, and I'm a fan. It's definitely a bit jarring at times, but it's very watchable.
I've said this before. I hated Tauriel. I'm pretty much a purist, and I thought the addition was stupid (tbf, there are many additions to the Hobbit movies that are stupid). A friend of mine had a daughter who was maybe 8-9 when the movies came out. She became a huge Tauriel fan, read the Hobbit, read the Lord of the Rings, etc. I would rather have a small bit player added to the story, a small inconsequential character who doesn't really change anything, than doing what Hollywood normally does--taking random female character and making her an empowered (probably raceswapped poc) bossbitch.
So today, I basically just ignore Tauriel.
Paddlin' the school canoe? That's a paddlin'.
Uptalk. Instant sign of brainrot and it—of course—originated in California.
The other instant give away is vocal fry. That’s when women get this kind of gravelly tone to their voice, and it’s often combined with uptalk.
Interestingly, both uptalk and vocal fry originated among women, but have been widely adopted amongst liberal men too. Tbf, it does cross political boundaries, but it’s most accentuated and seen as a high status trait in both male and female lefties.
