I wonder if Iran played off of Trump’s ego and he promised he would get Israel on board, thereby not having to negotiate with Israel who would be the least likely to accept any terms beyond complete surrender.
Trump seems keen on wanting an out while declaring victory, especially after the special ops drop in Isfahan went wrong.
Israel will of course does not want any end to the war, so now it becomes a tussle on whether the US owns Israel or the Israel owns the US lol.
Field Marshal first.

tbf Pakistan is sort of an anomaly because the government’s favorite hobby is shooting themselves in the foot.
They could easily move their passport up the rank line by like 30 spaces by just having clean diplomatic relations with other countries instead of running their embassies like a waffle house that requires bribes to get your food lol.
As in if they saw someone from a “third world” country via immigration, they either get profiled more or face discrimination at border crossings due to suspicion of overstaying or violating the terms of their visa (i.e. entering under a tourist visa but finds employment), is that why it’s difficult for immigrants from those countries to travel?
Yeah you pretty much answered your own question. Many people seek employment and the pursuit of happiness abroad since the opportunities and possibilities are much higher than at home.
While there are also security reasons on limiting passport power, it is primarily based on whether or not the country is known for immigration for employment/work. They don’t want people bypassing the work visa limit on an easy tourist visa.
The opposite also holds true, 3rd world countries don’t really gain anything from limiting 1st world people from entering. Often they’ll even offer special perks because it encourages foreign business and investment.
On a related note, I find the idea of borders and limiting immigration somewhat archaic and absurd for this very reason. If you have a healthy economy, there will always be constant demand for labor and growth. There’s really no reason to limit the human resource market, especially when visas often only allow highly educated people to immigrate.
I always found MiB’s take on it rather nice. When you have aliens traveling to earth to leave in peace and just make a living, it makes the INS (precursor to ICE) and the idea of country borders seem stupid to even exist.
The amount of times this has happend with Nintendo leaves me mystified on why modders and devs don’t bother to use anonymizing tools like Tor.
Honestly they’d probably throw you on a list for not using the internet lol.
Man I can’t wait to upgrade my device/GPU with AV1 hardware support

I think Denuvo technically does a little bit of this.
I forgot the exact details, but one of the keys that’s used to unscramble the bytecode has to be downloaded from their registry server on first launch.
But after that, it’s not required.
Who needs low latency amirite
Bans and heavy moderation of content.
I’m glad some of the reddit copy communities here like DankMemes died quickly because it was being run by the same loser mods from reddit.
So far I’ve only been banned from I think maybe 2 communities ever. The only one I remember is one of the NCD communities because the lead mod was a dumb dumb.
I don’t really care about complaints of specific instance users because unpopular opinions and comments deserve to be seen, otherwise you create an echo chamber.
So long as there is no brigading, it is much healthier to see everyone’s input.
Also I hope the r/Chodi crowd never finds lemmy lol.
Ahaha jokes on you, I haven’t updated my dependencies in years so I only have to deal with debilitating CVEs
I think its kind of dumb because the P-47 Thunderbolt was a high altitude interceptor/fighter that also happened to be good at ground pounding.
The A-10 is exclusively a ground pounder that becomes a sitting duck if it ever gets caught with its pants down.
Dunno why they copted a fighter name.
I wonder how badly this could have gone had Iran’s military been at their prime.
They used to have a seriously competent airforce which they could have easily transitioned into modern Chinese tech had they invested into it.
Even now without it, they have a bloody history of a war with Iraq in which they also had to defend with a terrible lack of parts and supplies.
I still feel bad that their successful hit on an F-35 didn’t result in a kill considering they had to hit it at close range with an IR missile.
Something something France light.
Also related but isn’t Canada super immigrant dense anyway? If you ignored the architecture, you could genuinely confuse some areas for South Asia lol.

I don’t think they actually will tbh
ICC cricket world cups are notorious for empty seats because they do the same thing where they only sell “premium” seats for ridiculous prices and pretend that the regular seats are sold out.
They’ll probably open up tickets a couple of days before the match because they know last minute people will still buy
Not necessarily for the humanity, more for the internet lolz.
Although considering Iraq’s history with their treatment of PoWs, it would probably be in Iran’s best interest to show they aren’t torturing or abusing the pilots in any capacity.
This is a good time to mention that one of the reasons solar is so popular in Pakistan is because it lets you bypass the insanely corrupt power companies which extorts everyone for access to electricity and pretends there’s a shortage of power by doing scheduled load shedding.
IRGC better find the pilots and give them the chai treatment because there is literally no better form of propaganda lol
Seriously though, this is some big news especially after their earlier hit on an F-35.
St. Louis Lambert International Airport
Unless google failed me with the tunnel lol
This isn’t really possible anymore, State NGs are nationalized so the federal government is already in charge. That’s how JFK enforced desegregation in Alabama, he literally removed the state governor from the chain of command: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_in_the_Schoolhouse_Door
It’s the same reason Walz did basically nothing in Minnesota. If he attempted to direct the NG or even his separate State militia, Trump would have thrown him into a charge under insurrection.
It would fall on the NG or Militia CO to proclaim allegiance to either the state or federal government. Considering what has happened so far, the most you’d see is some resignations.
