TropicalDingdong , in Why Iran Has Waited to Retaliate Against Israel for Hamas Leader’s Killing

A spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaan, said that “it is necessary to punish Israel,” echoing comments from other senior Iranian officials. But he also said that “Tehran is not interested in escalating the regional conflicts.”

Its like, actually fucking amazing how level headed the region has been at not being baited by Israel into a broader conflict.

goferking0 ,

No one in the region wants to possibly get nuked by Israeli forces.

Or just want to keep showing Israel is actually the child of the region

ImWaitingForRetcons ,

This makes so much sense to me - Iran joining in would give an invitation to USA, EU, etc. to join in with Israel, and take away focus from Israel’s war crimes and genocide to instead focus on the new bad guy.

ryathal ,

It’s easy to be level headed when you look at a map and see your entire western border covered in US military bases.

some_guy , in Why Iran Has Waited to Retaliate Against Israel for Hamas Leader’s Killing

It’s almost as though our “enemy” is more interested in peace in the Middle East than our “ally.”

Let’s not get carried away. Iran is still arming radical extremists including Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and Asad. They are a pretty big part of this mess already. But any imperial power knows that it’s one thing to arm militant groups but another entirely to commit your own army.

some_guy ,

Israel attacked a sovereign nation. The other nation said it will retaliate but doesn’t necessarily want to escalate. I don’t see how I’m getting carried away.

samokosik ,
@samokosik@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah because terrorists such as Hezbollah and Hamas totally don’t attack Israel

some_guy ,

You’re comparing a sovereign state with terrorists. You’ve lost the plot.

samokosik ,
@samokosik@lemmy.world avatar

Iran funds those terrorists.

So you are essentially saying that if Israel created a terrorist organization, started attacking Iran via it and then Iran responds to Israel, it would be Iran who is the aggressive one and starting the conflict, right?

some_guy ,

You’re putting words in my mouth and making assumptions about my world view.

samokosik ,
@samokosik@lemmy.world avatar

No, I am just questioning your logic.

chonglibloodsport ,

Iran is also supplying large numbers of drones to Russia who uses them to kill Ukrainian civilians.

ryathal ,

They aren’t interested in peace, but they are interested in not starting a war they can’t win.

it’s sad that buying off the goverment is seen as less expensive than not fucking up the environment.

It’s sad that, in many cases it’s literally less expensive than not fucking up the environment.

@Zombiepirate@lemmy.world avatar

One of my friends was naturalized this year and he fucking hates Trump.

I told him we could use more people like him.

barsquid ,

I wish we could deport the MAGAs that hate our country. I’d rather have citizens who actually want to be here and improve the country instead of harming all their neighbors so they feel better about themselves.

iAmTheTot , in SpaceX accused of dumping mercury into Texas waters for years

I would be exactly 0% shocked to learn this was true.

ShepherdPie ,

I’d be shocked if Abbott didn’t try to give them a Texas Medal of Freedom award for doing this.

HoustonHenry ,

And for removing water breaks for workers when it’s really hot out

meco03211 ,

Or… I could see him mandating more water breaks… provided it comes from the test area. People in the biz refer to that as remediation.

HoustonHenry ,

Ah yes, I forgot about that old fallback

Plastic_Ramses ,

And with Chevron ruling they wont face any repercussions!

Isnt crony capitalism great!?!?!?!

threelonmusketeers ,

Would you be more shocked to learn that it isn’t true? It is possible that this entire story is based on two typos in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality report.

418_im_a_teapot ,

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted (although you’re username would certainly give the impression you’re just defending musk).

The information you linked to does indeed cast doubt on the validity of the report. Corrected information will be needed before concrete conclusions can be drawn.

I hate Musk as much as the next person, and definitely wouldn’t be surprised if he was dumping chemicals in the water. But that doesn’t mean we should let confirmation bias cloud our ability to think critically.

Cenzorrll ,

I went through the report, and the raw data at the end shows the two samples coming back at “0.139” and “ND”

Cataphract ,

It could be that they mod all the musk communities and are an elon stan but more than likely it’s because they’ve plastered the same comment over 14 times with now llama taking over who is also an active user in the same communities making it seem like brigading. If the case was stated in a single comment it might be upvoted more than others, at this point they’re just spamming anyone who comments regardless of the context.

I’m all for putting your truth out there, but it just seems like they’re trying to drown out everyone with a “nuh uh, believe me” over letting the facts play out. It’s not like this thread is gonna have any real impact on the company or perception at this point no matter what anyone says.

@llamacoffee@lemmy.world avatar

My dear friend, the report is factually false. I can’t speak for others, but I personally find it to only be responsible to help dispel false news. And for what it’s worth, Elon is an asshole in my view, but that is irrelevant in this context, wouldn’t you agree?

As for the facts, you may check them yourself. Here is the actual application. Typo is on page 79, the actual figure is in the appendix on page 177.

tceq.texas.gov/…/wq0005462000-spaceexplorationtec…

Maybe you’re wondering why I am keen on sharing all this. I am a big fan of spaceflight, it’s just something I like and find inspiring. False reports that lean heavily on “Elon Musk bad” make the spacefaring future I’m rooting for more difficult to achieve. Surely it’s ok to correct misinformation?

Cataphract ,

My dearest lover, I appreciate you reaching out to me in this way. I missed all the other links you’ve put up and so this copy/paste directly made for me has made my heart swell. I regret to inform you that you’re behind in your news updates and the reporting is only getting worse for you at this time. I apologize for the inconvenience and will never give up being your shelter and rock in the stormy sea of life.

    Immigrants are the finest Americans, because they have went above and beyond what those of us who are native-born can do - they have chosen to become Americans. I hope someday we can make a society worth their respect and not their disappointment.

    Oh Jesus Christ that is one hell of a perspective! I have never thought about it like that before.

    It’s not cheap either, you gotta WANT it. Between application cost, prerequisite fees, and lawyers for paperwork, it’s common to be out of pocket a few grand.

    papertowels ,

    Yup, we regularly joke that my non-english speaking immigrant dad is the greatest American who ever lived.

    His WeChat account gets regularly suspended/blocked because every day he sends chinese language news published in the US, decrying the censorship that happens there.

    At this point the only reason to vote for Trump is if your brains have been replaced with a yogurt or you’re a monster

    DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

    I can forgive the 2016 Trump voters, Hillary campaigned with Kissinger after all, but America needs to wake up to the realization that a third of the country are actual monsters.

    Jails are just holding facilities for mental health patients who lack access to healthcare. We would solve a lot of issues if we had free and easy access to it. It would also cost a lot less.
