I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Ah, the new Lemmy flipperoo

The Islamic Iranian regime have been adveseries of the US for decades. IRGC leaders and supporters regulary chant “death to America” and denote it “the big satan”.

Is it really that mysterious why the US would want to support attacking the Iranian regime?

**The occasional plastic carrier bag is fine **

A single-use plastic bag: the sin of any environmentalist. Many of us know the agonising pain of turning up at the supermarket, then realising you’ve left your reusable shopping bags at home. The next 10 minutes is a comedy show, seeing how many items you can stuff into your pockets, clutch in your arms, and even grip between your teeth. You will not let the team down by asking for a plastic bag. I do the same. Even though I know better: the data shows us that the occasional plastic carrier bag is not that big a deal. In fact, in many ways, a single-use plastic bag is better than some alternatives. At least when it comes to the carbon footprint, it’s much lower than the rest. You’d need to use a paper bag several times, and a cotton one tens to hundreds of times to ‘break even’ with the plastic carrier.35, 36 This is also true for other environmental impacts such as water use, acidification, and the pollution of water with nutrients such as nitrogen. This doesn’t mean you should switch back to using single-use carrier bags: it just means you should make sure you’re reusing the other types of bags a lot. If you’re buying a new organic tote bag every second visit, you’re really making things worse. And as seen in previous chapters, you should be focusing much more on what you put in the bag than the bag itself. It will have a much bigger environmental impact. The problem with plastic bags, then, is that they can pollute our waterways. But, like any other form of waste, only if we don’t manage it properly. In rich countries, unless you’re littering near a river or coastline, they’re probably not going to end up in the ocean. Even sending it to landfill is not a big deal. This is a problem in low- to middle-income countries where the use of plastic bags is on the rise but the infrastructure to deal with the waste is not. That’s where tight rules on single-use plastic bags, and the availability of alternatives, really make a difference. So, be conscious of how much you’re using. Take a rucksack or a sturdy bag and reuse it again and again. But you don’t need to stress out if you reach the supermarket till and realise you’ve left it at home.

I’m still trying to find a good beard trimmer and electric toothbrush that charge with USB-C.

These are the only gadgets i have left that aren’t charged with USB-C.

‘floofier’ should be standard academic jargon

Was that a thing that actually happened?

It’s worth supplementing this with his earlier statement from 2 days ago:

“Ukraine condemns Iran’s attack on Israel using ‘Shahed’ drones and missiles. We in Ukraine know very well the horror of similar attacks by Russia, which uses the same ‘Shahed’ drones and Russian missiles, the same tactics of mass air strikes,”

“It is critical that the United States Congress make the necessary decisions to strengthen America’s allies at this critical time,” he says.

Another part of the answer is geographical. Jordan helped Israel intercept because their airspace is between Iran and Israel.

The distance between Russia and Ukraine is far shorter.

Zelensky’s tweet full text:

The entire world witnessed allied action in the skies above Israel and neighboring countries. It demonstrated how truly effective unity in defending against terror can be when it is based on sufficient political will.

Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Jordan acted together and with maximum efficiency.

Together, they prevented terror from prevailing. And they are working together, and in coordination with others, to prevent further escalation.

Israel is not a NATO member, so no action, such as triggering Article 5, was required. And no one was dragged into the war. They simply contributed to the protection of human life.

“Shaheds” in the skies above Ukraine sound identical to those over the Middle East. The impact of ballistic missiles, if they are not intercepted, is the same everywhere.

European skies could have received the same level of protection long ago if Ukraine had received similar full support from its partners in intercepting drones and missiles. Terror must be defeated completely and everywhere, not more in some places and less in others.

I thank everyone in the world, every leader and state, who truly assists us with air defense and missiles necessary to protect our skies, as well as training our pilots on F-16s. All of this already works and will continue to work to save lives.

However, we can now see how unity can work truly a hundred percent, and how almost a hundred percent of “Shaheds” and missiles can be intercepted. We will discuss it with our partners.

Your stance is as extremist as Ben Gvir and his ilk who say the same exact thing except replace “Israel” with “Palestine”

Don’t pretend to be an advocate of peace

Same for me on Thunder

We’re on our way to Twitter having 3 year old Lemmy screenshots

I’ve never been a tumblr user, but i’ve been subscribed to multiple “curate tumblr”-style online communities for YEARS and i haven’t picked up on your two last points

i appreciate the thorough explanation

She described being enraged by them and wanting to strangle them, but then she takes a deep breath and reminds herself that that kind of violent impulse is what wrought this war in the first place, so she tries to avoid that type of thinking
