Even if Israeli intelligence was busted for supplying the weapons, nothing would change.

It's statecraft, game recognises game and doesn't want words like "false flag attack" entering the common vernacular.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_V._Debs

Early in his political career, Debs was a member of the Democratic Party. He was elected as a Democrat to the Indiana General Assembly in 1884. After working with several smaller unions, including the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, Debs led his union in a major ten-month strike against the CB&Q Railroad in 1888. Debs was instrumental in the founding of the American Railway Union (ARU), one of the nation's first industrial unions. After workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company organized a wildcat strike over pay cuts in the summer of 1894, Debs signed many into the ARU. He led a boycott by the ARU against handling trains with Pullman cars in what became the nationwide Pullman Strike, affecting most lines west of Detroit and more than 250,000 workers in 27 states. Purportedly to keep the mail running, President Grover Cleveland used the United States Army to break the strike. As a leader of the ARU, Debs was convicted of federal charges for defying a court injunction against the strike and served six months in prison.

In prison, Debs read various works of socialist theory and emerged six months later as a committed adherent of the international socialist movement. Debs was a founding member of the Social Democracy of America (1897), the Social Democratic Party of America (1898) and the Socialist Party of America (1901). Debs ran as a Socialist candidate for President of the United States five times: 1900 (earning 0.6 percent of the popular vote), 1904 (3.0 percent), 1908 (2.8 percent), 1912 (6.0 percent), and 1920 (3.4 percent), the last time from a prison cell. He was also a candidate for United States Congress from his native state Indiana in 1916.

Debs was noted for his oratorical skills, and his speech denouncing American participation in World War I led to his second arrest in 1918. He was convicted under the Sedition Act of 1918 and sentenced to a 10-year term. President Warren G. Harding commuted his sentence in December 1921. Debs died in 1926

20 months is plenty of time for the other prisoners to find out what he's charged with.

Say what you wish about mob justice, but it's honest.

Mullvad has had some awesome projects recently.

Proton have been trying to drive a privacy orientated ecosystem and an alternative to the big three.

Both deserve your money. Great companies

This is so accurate of the exec's demands.

What you're saying doesn't make sense

Just make it work

Well then, I guess it's time to code in a bottomless money pit

You may well ask: ‘Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?’ You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. The purpose of our direct-action program is to create a situation so crisis packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation

While the new Powered by the Apocalypse style of RPGs have changed gaming. The burning wheel is an excellent resource for anyone creating a story driven campaign or system. It's probably my proudest purchase and most valued core book

Wage is exactly why I did not consider teaching. Grad salary for secondary ed in Chemistry or Mathematics in WA is 78k. That means you've completed enough chem or math units to complete a degree, and then done teaching on top. The grad salary on the mines is far higher, and with that much math you could go into the actuarial field and make 200k in a couple of years.

Why would I study an extra 1 or 2 years to be paid less?

(To be fair, I did none of the above. But it is why I didn't go into teaching)

Fair, I was reductive. The title is still clickbait unsubstantiated by content

Clickbait title.

The studies findings? Babies are subject to positive feedback loop with environment.

Two down votes and no comments on a post about Lemmy and self-hosting? Brutal

Thank you friend, it seems we have similar tastes for similar reasons. Would you recommend anything else?

For Reynolds, the revelation space trilogy is he best received and has his biggest ideas. But you could start anywhere. While he has some core themes, his ideas are all over the shop between books; each unique in both style and concepts.

Peter F Hamilton is an odd one. His writing is very male but the hard sci fi ideas and world building are second to none. The darkest place to start is the Confederation universe. The most fun and fantasy adjacent is the Void Trilogy. Despite being a hardcore fan I'm not very well read on him.

For both, their short stories are exquisite, in some cases mind bending and worldview changing.

*Neuromancer by William gibson is crazy dark and is the book which started the cyberpunk genre.

The forever war by Joe Hadleman is cynical but not totally dark, still has some awesome dystopic themes which have not lost their power over he years. Hard to say if it could be read as critical of current gender ideology or in support of it.

If you've ever thought about getting into the 40k universe Dan Abnett is great and his writing of female characters gets better over the years.

Alastair Reynolds and peter f Hamilton mention many societies in their space operas and generally have a pretty grim, imo realistic, view of human nature and how it might follow us to the stars.

Brave new world is an interesting concept for those who like dyspotic worlds. IMHO not a great book, still worth a read.

As for the health aspects. For anyone with a genuine curiosity for an argument in good faith see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41398-019-0552-0

Jordan's statement on health is very misleading.

• B12 is fed to animals. This is where the b12 comes from. Meat eaters are having their food supplemented also.

• There are many plant foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids with good omega ratios. Such as flax, hemp seeds, and chia.

• Minerals are common in plant foods, very common. For example, kidney beans and leafy greens.

• The idea of vegans diets being deficient in protein is laughable and intentionally misleading. For example, beans on toast is a complete protein source.
