based on my own cursory search, this seems fake. find a link for this that is actually affiliated with times of israel (i.e. a news story on their page or twitter or whatever) or delete this please

Haaretz article on the horrifying killings of unarmed civilians at the joint Israeli-American "aid distribution" locations in Gaza. Content warning for descriptions of brutal violence

This is what defenders of Israel are defending

It means a Palestinian state that is based on the premises of Zionism, including that palestine doesn't exist.

I would but I'm not a mod on c/electoralism. As we approach November it might make sense to have a mega for American elections. Idk who or what other titles are on the menu for November though

Feel free to make separate posts in c/news about zohran stuff too. C/news content doesn't have to be international

It refers to the reply lines on the left hand size of the page. Look at one of the subthreads with a million replies and you'll see what I mean.

In this context it means struggle your heart out in this subthread but let's not let the news mega get swamped by American electoralism

I'm a revisionist

I'm blanket pinging everyone in this subthread to note this post. go as deep-nesting as you want in this subthread (as long as people are respecting the sidebar code of conduct) but please don't make a pattern of doing zohran electoralism struggle sessions in the newsmega.

the newsmega can have a little 'is zohran mao or obama' struggle session as a treat (such as in this subthread) but this is the world newsmega, not the electoralism-mega and so please limit zohran posting to a dull roar. things like zohran struggle sessions are literally exactly what c/electoralism was made for, not the news mega.

along the same lines, zionists and fascists are having a shitfit about zohran and yes it is funny, but let's try to keep the newsmega to only the dankest of memes and the saltiest of zionist tears. we don't need to hear about every DC think tankie pondering the orb with bill ackman.

well a centrifuge is a machine that is supposed to spin extremely extremely fast. in order to spin something extremely fast, it needs to be well balanced. if a machine (centrifuge or not) gets jostled, like by say a giant bomb strike happening a few tens of meters away, then internal components could be vibrated out of alignment or pressure waves could stress the system in weird ways (different materials deform under stress different amounts, which can affect tolerances). Those kinds of effects could happen even to a visibly fine piece of equipment.

none of this is a guarantee that this kind of damage has happened, but certainly iran would be wise to test all these machines to see if things are fucked before just spinning them up at full blast.

a kinda silly example of this is an unbalanced top loaded washing machine - even though the washer looks fine, if you put all the clothes on one side it'll make a lot of crazy noises when you start it up.

 

My child wanted to watch an animated green lantern series recently so we checked it out. Of course the main character who is the human green lantern is a fighter pilot who does a bunch of sweet fighter pilot flight maneuvers in the opening sequence. I told my child that shows like this often show the military being cool and doing cool stuff, but that in real life what fighter pilots actually do is drop bombs on children. I'm only human, I also enjoy (some) military action movies, but I know it's cotton candy brain poison too.

I hate how many children's shows have pro military pro cop propaganda. How do others talk to their kids about it to inoculate them against brainworms? I usually describe the military and the cops as being like a gang of bullies - they do things to make themselves look cool but really they just exist to hurt people and take their shit.
