Whenever someone does the "[insert thing] here" bit, you know what you're about to hear is complete bullshit.

"Committed Democrat here."

"As a person of color..."

"Iranian here."

"Venezuelan here."

and so on...

Yep, internet in Iran is dead, Cloudflare is reporting zero incoming traffic from Iran

I doubt it's Starlink either, I'd assume any connection from Starlink would show up as where the PoP (ground station) you're connected to is located. There's also things like CGNAT that come in to play and since a lot of the geolocation services use harvested data from data brokers to get a general location of an IP address based on historical traffic from that IP address, it's probably safe to assume that it is very inaccurate for people using Starlink since so many customers are sharing the same IP address.

This is an old video from the 12 day war last year, this video is actually the Nevatim Air Base if I recall correctly?

Edit: Here's a link to a reupload of the video from last year sorry for the Hitlergram link, it's just the first thing that popped up from a reverse image search.

Even just one strike in the US would have a huge impact on people here

And honestly, you probably wouldn't even have to actually hit anything of value to get the message across, you could just hit some random cornfield in Iowa and just the idea that the Burger Reich can actually be hit would be enough, a lot of people truly believe we're truly untouchable and I think that'd be a big wake up call

That image is edited, just a heads up, here is MarineTraffic as of right now

Yep, Times of Israel is reporting it as well and ynet

I grew up poor as shit and whenever my parents had a couple extra bucks (this is obviously many years ago and didn't happen too often) we'd always get Little Caesars as a treat since we never ate out, it will always hands down be my favorite slop, still tastes the same all these years later.

He Kant be stopped...

I worded my response poorly because my point wasn't about excusing anyone but that Marx didn't do a fraction of the horrible shit that Chomsky did constantly.

Fair I guess, maybe Marx wasn't the greatest example of the most evil person to ever exist, but to be fair it is really hard to even come close to running the largest international child sex trafficking ring like Epstein did!

And I don't think Mein Kampf is that helpful an example since there's a difference between viewing a work as being credible versus analyzing it due to its historical importance.

I mean, people read a lot of things that they know aren't credible, I can't comment on any of Chomsky's works personally because I never read them, but I don't think it'd be any different than reading liberal economic "solutions" to housing (lol) or something of that nature. It's obviously not credible, but I personally find it interesting to see how people think and what conclusions they come to with that thought process even though I disagree with them and maybe have some fun dunking on them in the process if I'm bored.

uncritical support

I think you are missing my overall point, maybe I worded things badly (and if I did please tell me, I struggle with trying to get my point across) but I never said we should excuse Chomsky, in fact I said he was deplorable in my earlier comment which I think we can all easily agree with for obvious reasons. My point was basically just because someone did something horrible doesn't mean you can't read their work. Hitler was obviously a bad guy (as you may know!) but Mein Kampf is fairly interesting, like the bit where he talks about how he had co-opted socialist iconography and names (red flags, party name, etc.) to try to bring more working class people into the party. Obviously there's a lot of evil shit in Mein Kampf too and I wouldn't hand it to the wrong person because it may end up filling them with Hitler particles, but hopefully you get my point even though I'm using extreme examples here.

Sorry for the wall of text sort of, just felt I need to clarify myself

The polls are coming in and they are STAGGERING folks! Many people are saying I have the highest numbers in the history of our Country. A beautiful 100% APPROVAL RATING! Many are saying it. The Fake News Media and the LYING Democrats are in total shock, they don't want to report the truth! (WHICH THEY KNOW!) We are doing things that have never been done before. The Silent Majority is stronger than ever. WE WILL KEEP WINNING!

-President Donald J. Trump. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!

This is probably one of those "separate the art from the artist" situations, but as others said, this is really pushing that to it's limit. As deplorable as Chomsky is for being in the Epstein orbit, let's not pretend Marx and a lot of other people who arguably made very important works were saints either. You can argue that Marx and others "were products of their time/environment" but that still doesn't change the fact that at the end of the day, they were assholes.

Cuba is unfortunately going to be on their own which scares me. China seems to be content with sitting idly by and watching all their allies and potential allies be picked off slowly one by one and have been for decades and Russia is occupied in Ukraine right now and probably wouldn't do anything if push came to shove anyway since I doubt there is much for them to benefit out of doing so. Not like Cuba has many natural resources they have an abundance of they could offer up besides sugar really. The empire really is in it's violent decline, attempting to take everyone it down with the ship in an attempt to save itself.

Rest in peace. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't have made my way out of the dark reactionary hell hole that I was in as a lost teenager during 2015-2016. Fly high, you deserve it

I also had to drop bcachefs recently, which was really upsetting because it is a very cool filesystem. Unfortunately it now has the same issue as ZFS, it's out of tree, it being in the mainline kernel was one of the biggest selling points for it since it clearly took inspiration from ZFS in a lot of areas and having a filesystem like that in the mainline was super cool. Oh well.
