No. Al-Jazeera published a report that the electronic devices that exploded had high explosives embedded, and I’m not in a target country

WHEN WILL THEY LEARN! WHEN WILL THEY LEARN… THAT THEIR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!
If you like horchata and you have a bit of spare money, you could get some “chufas” (spanish word for the thing horchata is made from). Soak them in water for some hours before eating, and they’re a nice, crunchy, sweet, coconut-like snack.
Ran the numbers yesterday, vapes are very similar in price per mg of nicotine as nicotine patches
Well, I wasn’t talking exclusively about the US, but sure, I get your point.
Just reminding you that it’s not your fault, it’s the system’s. Unemployment is a <300 year-old concept, everyone worked before that, and it was fine because, like, are we really lacking things to do in this world? Unemployment is an unnecessary evil, and it’s NOT YOUR FAULT that you’re unemployed right now.
First we fought a war against them, which was good given the lack of alternatives to prevent genocide in greater areas, then we forgave everything and kept those people in power, which was horrible.
[…] is a provocation worthy of military invasion?
See, that’s an entirely different statement. Threatening to join Russia’s geopolitical rival’s military alliance while bordering Russia, is provocation. The acts in Donbas since 2014 are provocation. Is it “worthy of military invasion”? I don’t believe so. The proto-fascist Russian government is clearly not acting entirely out of pure will and self defense, and I’ll be the last to defend it since I have loved ones directly suffering under that government. But it’s important to frame things correctly, and yes, threatening to join NATO while bordering Russia is a huge provocation.
Particularly, NATO has no history of defensiveness (as far as I know it has never intervened for the defensive purposes it’s supposed to uphold), but it has a history of offensiveness. Yugoslavia and Libya can both attest to that, and extra-officially (technically not NATO interventions even if many NATO members participated one way or another), countries such as Iraq can also attest. The case of Iraq is a perfect example of what unprovoked invasion in modern times is, and we are still forced to see libs fall heads over heels for a fucking Dick Satan Cheney endorsement to Kamala “most lethal army in the world” Harris.
So, yes, when a country bordering you chooses to join a historically aggressive military alliance that openly challenges you, that’s huge provocation. And it’s important to state so when we talk about the war in Ukraine.
completely unprovoked
considering joining NATO
Those two statements are in the same phrase… My god
that would basically be like a e cigarette battery exploding
Not true, it would be much, much more impossible than that. Lithium batteries are both much more unstable and much more energy dense than usual 9V batteries, it’s quite literally impossible to kill someone with a 9V battery explosion unless it’s being held inside the mouth or something. There’s definitely some explosive in the pager
Edit: this comment has assumed 9V pagers
How so? I’ve never heard that before
They absolutely don’t both solve the problem, plenty of homeless people in the capitalist world compared to the 0 people in former USSR
I’ll fight you alright. I’m Spanish, and making pa amb tomaca for breakfast feels like waking up to a godly meal. I also visited the US for like a week, and I remember my delicious breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns and Cholula sauce that I had one day, or french toast another day (never had french toast before).
Yeah, it makes no sense to allow the patenting of literal living creatures…
Another funny one to me is tools and machines, it’s literally telling people: “NO! ONLY I CAN ARRANGE ATOMS IN THIS ORDER!!!” Kinda wild that we allow that
Drej tbh
Insane that we allow for the privatisation of wavelengths.
"NO!! ONLY I CAN MOVE ELECTRONS AT THIS FREQUENCY, I PAID FOR IT, RWAAAAHHH!!
Muh free market?
But first they have to get utterly shit on for trying to do it by the book
How many decades in are we?
We’re already there, there’s no need for this hypothetical. We’ve reached the point where we have trademarked plants, and natural cross-pollination with neighbouring fields has led to fines to farmers because they’re technically growing someone else’s intellectual property plant.
Vaccines and drugs whose research is paid for with public funds are copyrighted and poorer nations are forbidden from obtaining them at reasonable prices.
Vanguard technologies like FPGAs are seeing a rise in later years not because the concept is new, but because 40-year-old key patents of the technology started to expire and this allowed third parties to improve on the technology, and increase its availability and affordability.
Time and time again, software and hardware designed and published with open source but licensed copyright (or copyleft) are blatantly copied and modified without permission by big tech, without any credit or compensation to the original author, in complete violation of the license terms, and nothing ever happens because they have better lawyers than the small open source people.
AI models are unlawfully trained illegally with immense amounts of copyrighted material, and then substitute artists with real understanding of the art.
No need to make up hypotheticals for a society in which this already happens
