Kind of, yes. A lot of it is historical accounts of varying credibility. But it’s important to always be aware that those accounts were written centuries after the events that they’re telling us about, and are heavily mythologised and extremely biased.

ahornsirup@feddit.orgto World News@lemmy.world•Iran time zone and location activated on some phones in Middle EastEnglish8·2 days agoIt’s really not much of a flex (all you need is a strong transmitter), and it’s almost certainly not intended as one. They’re doing it because the Israeli and American military use GPS for navigation and targeting.

Yes it’s worse than the RX 9060, but it’s also about $100 cheaper. If you’re playing at 1080p it’s a perfectly valid choice.
We are not on the verge of WW3. Neither Russia nor China is going to rush to the defence of Iran.

Abschreckung funktioniert eindeutig. Der einzige Grund aus dem die NATO Russlands Angriffskrieg toleriert ist die Abschreckungswirkung von Russlands Atomwaffen.
Deshalb warte ich oft doch lieber noch Mal 5-10 Minuten länger auf den folgenden Zug, wenn einer sehr viel Verspätung hatte.
Iran’s standing forces are kind of irrelevant without a way to get them to Israel.

Using non-disposable plates, cups, etc. for takeout would be impractical unless it’s strictly “bring your own”. The industry requires waste.
Yep, getting Trump elected totally saved Palestine. Job well done.

Nette Terrorismus-Konnotation, liebe Tagesschau. Brücken und andere Infrastruktur sind legitime Ziele. Es war ein Angriff.
Just open a can of tuna and put it on the floor. 9 times out of 10 the “stuck” cat will happily come down.
It’s pretty clear that OP’s daughter does feel like she’s missing out on things her friends are doing, that’s why she is asking. Social isolation doesn’t have to be total to be damaging to your mental health, especially if you’re an extrovert.
And bringing up “but in my time…” Yeah, no. Not a comparable situation. If everyone is on social media and you’re not, you’re going to be left out of at least some things, there’s just no way around it.
Gut, dann fangen wir Mal mit der Diktatur an.
You’re looking at it purely from a present-day perspective. Just because the pool of available workers is large enough today to provide for everybody doesn’t mean that it will be fifty years into the future. It’s not about “infinite growth” it’s about providing a consistent standard of living and a fair generational contract that doesn’t place an undue burden on future generations.
Unless you expect people to work until they drop dead it’s a crisis regardless of the economic system, especially coupled with the increases in life expectancy. You have fewer and fewer people of working age who have to provide for and take care of more and more old people for longer and longer. Even if you eliminate profit motives, you’re placing an outsized burden on younger generations.
Let’s not beat around the bush here, he wants it to sprout fascist propaganda.
