        And they’ve been using it in Palestine since I can remember. Which is why I said I what I said, and also said I should’ve marked it with a sarcasm tag, and said I was glad I didn’t because of what Comrade [email protected] said after.

      It would be karmic, but they just don’t do that. At least it seems they’re not giving people announcements to get clear of the bombs now (worth mentioning their hacker group Handala offered anyone who sent in their coordinates a chance to be spared, if any of them saw that). The US hypersonic missile program is stalled, it makes up with for it by launching sadistic terror attacks. Actually not even Russia is deploying cluster bombs this large AFAIK, and the stuff is designed to drop from a lot higher than Iskanders.

        I should have added the /s, but some very noteworthy information because I didn’t, so it worked out in my favor. Thanks for that.

          I didn’t think you were being that serious TBF but I do say some questionable things to people in group chats, so, I have been there. I don’t think anyone actually desires burning flesh. Just whatever is necessary to stop this madness once and for all, without making exceptions on humanitarian violations that the Israelis feel entitled to alone. It’s just important to remember that’s not how wars are won. Humanitarian catastrophes like that are the quagmire-as-process of imperial occupation and destroying regions by losing wars and leaving nothing behind. The death brigades lost the Eastern Front.

          One could argue that too much restraint convinced them of their entitlement & led us to this. I know a lot of people on a neighboring site in particular have become despondent with the lack of progress and even declared Hezbollah defeated. I can sympathize with anyone dooming or demanding absolute nuclear carnage (even if that makes zero sense for reclaiming Palestine from the settlers!) simply because whenever I am unable to maintain my distance from what I am looking at, I have to cry. Things for the Palestinians are worse than ever. The mass hostage-taking by the Israelis can’t be used to shield them from this any longer, not with what happened in Syria.

          My worst fear was honestly that this wouldn’t come to pass and we would just watch the water crisis getting worse and worse. The skin diseases. I try to remember some of the really interesting points that Nasrallah made (theologically justified, but with a material basis built in parallel to that, like practically everything he says) about not spreading demoralization propaganda. I just want to whip out my phone and ask people “what do we do about this? how do we get this guy out of here and get him treatment once we can even figure out what is happening to him”?

          Demanding /s from people is unacceptable, I will continue wielding and having humor inflicted upon me without fully understanding it. Because that is how it ought to be.

            As someone long ago once said to me, “pangs of the internet.”

            A few of my own…

            Sometimes I wish I could just hug good internet comrades for hours.

            Sometimes I wish I could crawl into a big bed with all of you and just sleep for days. Nothing sexual, just the ability to be physically close among people I can trust.

            Sometimes when I am in an appropriate space with ample time to cry I don’t, because I’m afraid I won’t stop before I have to deal with people who value life about as much as the tissue discarded yesterday, including their own. Like I know we all die and I don’t always make the healthiest choices, but I’m not actively trying to destroy myself and take anyone else down just for the thrill factor.

              You should get on Rednote if you can get a better phone, you would be astonished by how much nicer they are than people on here. This is (and I say this in the most positive way) a blood bowl of special interest appreciators. On XHS you can make friends in Brazil, Egypt (although they are scared of being tortured by police over what they say 😬), Iraq, all over the place. Not just reverse-diasporoids like me, I’m nothing special. There is a large contingent of Americans on there cataloging homeless and their daily lives on the edge of precarity, and people are genuinely interested in helping them figure out how to make ends meet. Even if they can be almost aggravatingly naive with stuff like “maybe you could move into a less expensive home” or “try explaining your situation to the local government 😀”, they are starting to get it. I know I’ve had occasional outbursts about how Americans are going to get what’s coming to them, but that’s directed squarely at people who still think they can clamber their way up to the point of benefiting from imperialism financially. I never met anyone on the edges in Seattle who had those kinds of illusions unless their sanity was really slipping or they were on the streets on drugs doing the God Bless Us All stuff to keeo going.

              But otherwise sit tight and we are going to create a telepathic internet like an Iain M Banks book. Then I won’t have to worry about losing track of conversations or walking into traffic on my phone—you get where I am going with this. (It is a good thing I am not in charge of the future huh)

                Well I got a new phone but it was a “low end” budget phone. Unless the carrier renegs on unlocking it, I may be able to do something if work works out. I’m over the fast-food mentality, not because I don’t crave fast, easy, sustainable solutions, just that I know rich arses profit, emotionally, financially, off of being as huge an impediment to progress for the masses.

                  Oh beware in less than a year Google will block installing your own apps. If you grab IzzyOnDroid and Obtainium you might be able to keep updating stuff that isn’t on the Play Store but I’m not certain. If it’s unlockable and on the LineageOS device list you want to expedite that!!

    I love seeing the people who ended international humanitarian law complaining about this. Burn, you fucking monsters! Reap what your own wickedness has sown!

    Coming from Israel, I suspect this is as their vassal drumpf calls it “a hoax”. Generally speaking when drumpf says hoax it means its true but he wants everyone to believe its fake news. Believablilty from Israel? ZERO out of ten.

      Lying about receiving fewer blows than they actually did would be a 180⁰ turn from the entire doctrine of public messaging + air defense they follow. However I completely agree with your intent in trusting zero statements from Times of Israel. Hence why I lifted the Enemy Media terminology from Hezbollah. It’s a good reminder and at this point everyone knows what it means.

      Also you will be horrified to learn once Israel is finished that they have other, lesser Israels, such as Singapore and Japan. Americans who visualize Netanyahu as the final boss of imperialism will be disappointed.
