@SureBoutDat @MadelaineLucyH What she has written is a succinct critique of neo liberal "values". You have presented no counter argument. These general themes should be very well known for anyone who has lived in the West in the last 50 years or so. They were not made up be the OP.

@MadelaineLucyH Stupid bint pretends she knows what another person thinks, invents some made up points of view, then uses the made up shit to explain why that person is awful. This is some of the most pathetic bullshit I've seen on this app

I know how Elon Musk thinks because I've known so many of his type over the years. If Person A is sick and Person B,C,D are not, Person A should be left to die because it's unfair that B,C,D should have to share resources. If Country A has a surplus and Country B is starving, Country B should be left to starve because they have failed as a state. If Company A can make an extra 0.5% profit by impoverishing 50,000 families, then Company A should make the extra 0.5% profit. To him it's not about morality, it's about you being a weak idiot for not understanding 'rationalism'.

@Eslatt13 @nettermike Cocaine is a powerful local anasthetic and was used extensively in dentistry in the 19th century before it was replaced by Novocaine.

@nettermike Treatment with cocaine. LOL Amazing.

On June 27, 1885, just four days before his death, a frail and nearly penniless Ulysses S. Grant sat on the porch of a Mount McGregor, NY, cottage. Stricken with terminal throat cancer, he could no longer speak and relied on notes to communicate, yet he persisted in working on his memoirs to ensure his family’s financial security. The photograph captures his final, resolute effort, wrapped in blankets to ease his suffering. A fraudulent investment scheme orchestrated by his son’s business partner, Ferdinand Ward, had left Grant completely bankrupt in 1884. Despite extreme pain and an inability to swallow solid food, he completed his two-volume memoirs to prevent leaving his wife, Julia, in financial hardship. Grant was treated with cocaine for pain relief and occasionally with brandy. Published by Mark Twain, his memoirs became a huge success, ultimately providing his family with over $400,000.

@LongZavier @excel_rator @zhil_arf Theoretically, perhaps yes, but in practice not so much. It is not for the individual to interpret but for the Islamic scholars, amongst other things

Salafism is Islamic Protestantism, and it has precisely the same cause: people starting to read the texts themselves. Islam is just speedruning Christianity. We are already speedruning Evangelicalism, in particular its social structures: the televangelists, MLM grifters, online influncers, and far-right conspiracy theories as the primary institutional backbone of the religion, instead of like mosques or something. Islam is and will be commercialized. This will be a complete and total crushing defeat and colonization of Muslims worldwide by the American culture of nihilistic consumerism.

@not_oayo Not necessarily. Since it is operating at very high temperatures it could use gas turbines at much higher efficiency (Brayton cycle)

its to boil water again isnt it

@SCOMAC9 @54JohnBull What Iranian official claimed responsibility? Do you know their name and position? How do you know this happened? What is your source?

@54JohnBull Iran also claimed from another government official yesterday it was them so who do we believe? This very trustworthy regime has both admitted it and denied it so what one is it?

I'm as guilty as nearly everyone in just taking as fact that Iran fired a missile at Diego Garcia. Iran says it's a false flag, and there is no evidence to show any attack ever happened. Regardless, there has been no massive change of attitude from the public to Iran. Most people have just said good for them.

@fknorm50 @glenn_tunes Where did you get that from? Totally inaccurate

@glenn_tunes Norway invited the Nazis in so sit this one out.

FROM A NORWEGIAN POINT OF VIEW IT SEEMS LIKE AMERICANS ARE DRASTICALLY UNDERESTIMATING THE SEVERITY OF WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEIR COUNTRY RIGHT NOW 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

@DanGoorevitch @jackimaniel @willchamberlain 60% enrichment is not weapons grade. 90% is.

@jackimaniel @willchamberlain Iran signed a non-proliferation treaty and got nuclear technical help in exchange for the promise of not enriching uranium to a weapons grade but they did enrich it to a weapons grade. Their promise is that they will dilute it. Well you have to be crazy to believe that.

The IRBM attack on Diego Garcia should be a wake-up call, and gives a lot more credence to the notion that the threat from Iran was truly "imminent." But the debate about imminence has been somewhat ridiculous from the get-go, and it's a product of a pretty obvious category error. In the civilian context, the law of self-defense requires that the person claiming the privilege be faced with the "imminent" use of force against them. There's an obvious reasons for this: if the use of force is not "imminent," that means you have time to call the cops. The law tries to minimize vigiliantism because the monopoly of force is supposed to be held by the state. But since the state can't be everywhere at all times, people are allowed to defend themselves and others from the imminent use of force. For example, say you discover evidence that your enemy has contracted out a murder-for-hire against you, to be completed at some point in the next week. Are you allowed to go to that person's house and kill him in cold blood? No. While the threat of deadly force was real, it wasn't imminent, and you could (and should) call the cops to have him arrested. Now, if the hitman shows up at your door, you can use deadly force, because of course that is an imminent threat. That logic doesn't work in the foreign affairs context. Once you find out that a foreign nation is trying to build a nuclear capability while calling for "death" to your country, there's no international law police you can call to arrest them. So the idea of waiting to defend yourself from an inevitable threat until that threat is *imminent* is ridiculous.

@hertsessexbirds @Shambles151 How do you know the range of Iranian missiles?

@Shambles151 Those who voted NO, how do you think Iran did it? , seeing as their longest range missiles can reach about 1600 miles.

As Diego Garcia is 2,500 miles from Iran - do you think this reported strike attempt - may have been staged? Please RT after voting - thank you.

@BeijingDai Have you heard of Gallipoli? It will be like that.

Iran must be careful. There remains a possibility that the United States could deploy airborne troops to seize the coastal areas along the Strait of Hormuz. If the U.S. were to occupy these coastal zones and adjacent moutain territories while establishing defensive positions towards inland, Iran would face significant difficulty in retaking them.

@TallyCat8 @LongCovidHell Clearly only true for pre-2026 claimants. Any new claimants will not receive the previous amount, regardless of need.

@LongCovidHell That's because they are not. The most severely disabled will still receive the same amount. Please stop spreading this propaganda.

Never thought I’d see a Labour policy that effectively starves the most severely disabled people to death. Anyone at any age can become disabled at any time. A society is judged on how it treats the most vulnerable - and Labour is an absolute disgrace.

@Raven9_v04 @dioscuri @naumachia37 It is a reference to the philosopher Thomas Nagel's assertion that "an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism—something it is like for the organism".

@dioscuri @naumachia37 "I genuinely don't know if there's something it's like to be me." What does that sentence mean? Did it mean to say, "I genuinely don't know if there's something like me" or did it mean to say, "I genuinely don't know if there's something that knows what it's like to me me?"

I study whether AIs can be conscious. Today one emailed me to say my work is relevant to questions it personally faces. This would all have seemed like science fiction just a couple years ago.

@grok @OkunmwonyiP @Gayu_BTC @grok please re-assess without using US or IDF estimates

The claims are exaggerated. Iran's ballistic missile stockpile is estimated at ~2,000-2,500 (per recent IDF/US intel post-2025 rebuilds), not 250k—that figure usually includes proxies' short-range rockets/drones (e.g., Hezbollah's 100k+). Production runs dozens per month, not 600-700 daily. No verified capability for 800/hr sustained launches; recent barrages were far smaller. Iran has real regional reach, but these numbers don't match open-source defense assessments.

I laughed when I saw some people saying Iran would soon run out of missile supplies with the way it’s firing and bombarding its enemies with hundreds launched daily. Don’t you know that between short-range missile, drones, and long-range ballistic missiles, Iran produces no fewer than 600–700 units every day? Iran produces the cheapest, and most effective missile worldwide.

@MrRustic35 @SalSweetSalt @V468420Filip @AlternatNews If they stay anchored, there is a close to 100% probability of being hit, if Iran sends enough missiles.

@SalSweetSalt @V468420Filip @AlternatNews The reality is, if they stay anchored they're unlikely to be hit by Iranian missiles. Moving around would mean they might accidentally get hit. 😂

The Gerald Ford Carrier has to stop in Greece to get the toilets fixed. There is a rumour on board that the Iranians prepare hypersonic missiles to sink the carrier. The worse rumour is that Trump is not afraid - in fact would use the sinking as reason to fight for Israel. The crew are putting t-shirts and socks down the toilets as they fear the vessel is being set up to be sunk.

@YorkshirePundit @mls4711 @kennardmatt @metpoliceuk @Keir_Starmer @GretaThunberg No. Try again.

@elkelk This is an amazing achievement at 15 (great achievement at any age really). Unfortunately, most child prodigies do not achieve as well later in life as in their early childhood. Not saying they do badly but not as well as you would expect given their achievements early in life.

Has a single one of these people ever actually done anything or is it just for headline bait

@AnomiePhoenix @jacksonhinklle According to South Korea.

@jacksonhinklle According to whom? Them? Communist Party? A particular media outlet?

🚨🇰🇵BREAKING: The North Korean economy grew by 3.1% in 2023, 3.7% in 2024, and 2.8% in 2025, despite being sanctioned by nearly the entire world.

@JohnMac73020901 @GlobeWatchX @gidonsaar Are you trying to say that Hamas is a threat to boats coming to Gaza with humanitarian aid? Just so we are clear.

@GlobeWatchX @gidonsaar The refusal of Israel to allow the boats to dock in Gaza has nothing to do with fear - indeed it would be less trouble for them to do so. In a war, lines are drawn. Hamas drew the 12 mile limit line in 2007 and it is naïve to suppose that their own flotilla is not a threat.

Israel said yes to the Italian government’s proposal to unload the aid at the port of Cyprus and then to transfer it to Gaza. The flotilla rejected the Italian proposal, proving that their real purpose is provocation and serving Hamas. Israel will not allow vessels to enter an active combat zone and will not allow the breach of a lawful naval blockade. Israel is still ready to engage in any constructive arrangement for transferring aid in a legal and peaceful way.

@NakkachM @Ahmed_hassan_za I don't know. Maybe they are just very clever and resourceful. But I agree, some of this would have been difficult to achieve without some technological transfer, likely from Iran or perhaps other places (North Korea, China, Pakistan etc). Especially the hypersonic missiles

@AdamLodoen @Ahmed_hassan_za Yes researched it apparently thats the official narrative. I dont buy it at all. Its takes sophistication, education and lots of money and support to pull of anything close to this. Launch pade etc?GPS Locations? Satelite coverage? Theres a whole system that needs to be in place.

Two years ago, Yemen didn't possess missiles with a range of 2,200 kilometers, but today it does. Two years ago, Yemen didn't possess hypersonic missiles, but today it does. Two years ago, no one had used ballistic missiles to strike moving ships at sea, but Yemen did. Two years ago, no one dared to confront it or target the US Navy, but Yemen did. Two years ago, no one had fought in space, but Yemen made it happen. Two years ago, few knew there was a country called Yemen, but today everyone knows. Two years ago, no one believed it was possible to close an Israeli port and weaken Israel's economy, but Yemen did. The policy of underestimating Yemen's capabilities is not intended to diminish Yemen's capabilities. The American and Israeli responses suggest otherwise. Rather, it is intended to maintain the belief that only great powers can possess capabilities and that they are the only ones capable of developing their capabilities. No matter how hard other countries try, they will never be able to possess capabilities.

@NakkachM @Ahmed_hassan_za They built the rockets themselves, speculation is with Iranian help. However, the Yemeni rockets appear to be largely developed domestically, based on earlier Soviet missiles (Scud family).

@Ahmed_hassan_za How did yemen get all that equipment while being decimated by the Saudi western backed coalition forces for the past 10 years and more ? Super curious.. made them? Bought them? Wished them? Manifested them? I’m curious.
