If the nuclear facilities are out of reach, Iran's power generators are not and destroying all of them would significantly damage Iran's economy and hence its military capacity.

Iran just gave Israel the option, but not the obligation, to launch a massive attack on Iran without Israel losing the support of the US.

Did Iran really know the drones were going to be easily shot down?

If Canada lost some territory to the US, it would become even more dependent on the US.

Look into Rapamycin if you want the real "sounds to good to be true". I take both Rapamycin and NAD+ boosters.

Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union and has lots of highly capable military people. Also, my impression is that the attack was within the capacity of a few people with diving experience who had access to explosives.

When I use YouTube at work I get constantly shown ads, but when I use YouTube at home I'm almost never shown ads. Why the difference? I'm logged into the same account on both.

But Elon is going to care a lot more about Mitch McConnell than Trump's fan base. At a minimum, I suspect Trump stays banned until after the midterms.

When Microsoft first got big it had a policy of ignoring politics so politicians started threatening Microsoft with antitrust actions, which caused Microsoft to become a massive contributor to politicians.

Here is a test: Did you know that it is normal for people to see images in their mind's eye when they read books?

It didn't mean it as a Lol, as I think I would try it in your situation. Lots and lots of people get plastic surgery which seems far more "drastic" than wearing a mask that people couldn't tell was a mask.

I suggest eliminating the objectionable content. I'm not an expert, but I've heard it is better to rewrite the posts rather than just delete them.

Agreed. But lots of damage could be inflicted by air attacked. Alan Dershowitz wants Israel to destroy Iran's nuclear ambitions. https://twitter.com/HappyCamper2626/status/1710815116479058301

Soft corruption. Twitter sells extremely expensive advertising to candidates and parties. It is known that if just one side pays for this advertising the algorithm overall greatly favors them.

Try "Create a new SCP monster with....". There is lots of SCP Internet content on which, I suspect, the chatbot has been trained.

Silly religious people don't realize that hell only exists for those who make bad acausal trades with future AI Gods.

Revealing the source would reveal my identity. Ukraine was a fully trusted member of the Soviet Union and had lots of smart scientists. Ukraine has currently working nuclear power plants. Ukraine was preparing for a Russian attack. Don't you think it likely that Ukraine has a few nuclear weapons? If nothing else, the Soviets were bad at keeping track of stuff and so probably didn't manage to remove all the nuclear weapons from Ukraine when the Soviet Union broke up.

The purpose of academic feminism is to advance the position of women as defined by leftists elites. As feminists might say, you are implicitly accepting a highly male autistic notion of truth that you think can exist outside of existing power dynamics, and even if we grant that everything you say is "true" this truth is an information hazard (feminists wouldn't use this exact term) whose promoting will do far more harm than good. From my own viewpoint, while yes the last sentence makes feminism look bad to rationalists, the feminists are acting as normal humans do in avoiding promoting beliefs that help their near enemies and cut against their cherished beliefs.

Quillette founder Claire Lehmann Tweets about the Guardian article's author "Somewhat surprised to see that @guardianscience has known antifa associates writing for them now. (The author of this piece is pictured below behind camera, next to guy in brass knuckles). But I suppose scientific credentials are not required when the target is @realchrisrufo"
How about it locates smart, depressed biologists who can be convinced to try to end the world, and then teams up these biologists and gives them lots of funds.
