Everything i have seen suggests it is already a full scale war on Israels part. It isn't really up to Iran to have it not be a war if Israel keeps bombing them and won't stop. Which they've indicated they'll continue to do. So Iran either fights back, and declares war, or it submits and lets all its nuclear sites be destroyed, and the regime probably collapses.

you arent wrong. But it would become much worse. I don't think they can afford to look any weaker than they do right now. If they don't end up declaring war i expect Iran to be a failed state within a year tbh. Since Israel won't stop, and it will show Iran can't defend itself.
My thinking is the reason we haven't yet seen a declaration of war is because they have to get the word out to all their proxies, and mobilize their forces. They won't declare war until they are ready to do their response. Declaring war officially and not following up with a massive counter attack would make them appear weak. It's about timing is my guess.
Even generative AI like as a technology isn't evil. It's just that tech bros were like lets do this the most immoral way possible and be really obnoxious about it at the same time. A good analog would be like planes. Like planes can be very useful in many circumstances, but because the people who run the world are stupid evil and boring they overuse them where trains could do a better job for many routes. They use them to bomb innocent people for no reason, and even the ones that are technically being used where and how they should be you get squeezed in like sardines and charged an arm and a leg for it.
Oh also something i just thought of to save money. If you make an account at some of the stores (like kroger is one i know does it) and then you dont go there for a long time and go to other stores instead they will mail you some really good coupons. You can also just have 2 accounts and not use one for awhile to trick them. But u usually need multiple phones and addresses. Easy to do if you share accounts with friends and family. I got coupons in the mail from kroger recently that were just 2 free cans of del monte vegetables any variety no pre-purchase or anything required. You get some pretty good ones that way.
Excuse me? Of course liberals would do something! They'd get out and vote gosh darnit! Vote like their life depended on it!
not really. obviously we don't know what exactly is going on in the farms and no foods are 100% garunteed safe unless you grew it yourself but generally speaking you just want less processed stuff. Like the chicken quarters are whole meats, where as a burger, or hotdog, or something would be more processed. It's easy to put fillers in without people noticing once the meat is ground up, and reshaped into something else. So like chicken leg is better than chicken nugget. Can't garuntee its 100% natural or anything, but if you get the whole meat, and wash it off well you should be better off than most. Same goes for veggies. Get a whole vegetable, wash it off good, and your in about the best spot possible.
Any food that is like snackified, or made into something already is a lot more likely to have some horrible for you chemical in it.
Whole foods are typically best. Less processing is better. Obviously theres always concerns about like good regulation keeping them safe, but generally produce when washed is fine. non-processed meats are better than processed meats. etc
If you want a really easy cheap filling meal that actually tastes good i will cook rice, and make a peanut butter sauce(Vinegar+peanutbutter+soy sauce) and mix that with whatever vegetables i have on hand. preferably the vinegar should be rice vinegar but thats not as cheap so just like a big jug of white vinegar will get the job done. Brown like some onions, peppers, carrots, etc in a pan with canola oil, then add in the peanut butter sauce ingredients and mix them in once veggies are browned. Then you add the cooked rice to that and just mix it up. You can add means and stuff too. The best cheap cuts of meat are pork loins (Can find half loins very cheaply atleast where i am. Like 7$ for a big chunk of meat that lasts awhile.) or chicken quarters. Chicken quarters are the entire leg+thigh together and can be found for like 89 cents a pound. Cheapest cut of chicken available. Just have some of that cooked up and add it to your rice. As long as you add plenty of veggies and stuff its very nutritionally balanced. Lots of fat, and protein makes it filling, and its pretty cheap too.
To save money on vegetables look for ones that are on sale, and buy in bulk then dice them up, and freeze them for later. I like to get tons of jalepenos, and carrots and freeze those cuz they're pretty cheap. I just have a couple containers i refill in the freezer with them in it. Same with herbs a small can of dried cilantro can be expensive but you can find a fresh bundle for 99 cents cut it up and freeze it. Way more for your money that way. Doing that with greens in general is a good way to add nutrients to your food. Just make sure you wash them before freezing them so you can toss the frozen ones right in the pan.
Also like what even is "basic law" like laws are laws. People make them up. Saying "basic" seems to be implying that its somehow more legitimate then "other" laws. Or that its common sense. Which it certainly is not.
Edit: Also "Common Law" is an actual term for things like marriage and in that case if 2 people are living as if they are married but not legally married courts will consider them married for legal purposes under common law. If someone is living in the US, working, having a family, etc why shouldn't we say they are common law citizens?
Officially changing my ideology to 毛泽东梦女
(if your not able to read the meme its mao ze dong dream girl. Basically your romantically attracted to mao ze dong. 2nd row from the bottom, middle.)
My GUESS is theyre counting all kills as soldiers and that includes civilians in the general area they kill. Tanks could be any large vehicle. Buses, vans, etc.

China, and by extension Communism, is winning. I think i know how they did it. (Tl;Dr Deng was a genius.)
(lemmygrad.ml)
So i have been thinking more and more about how stupid it was for the west to willingly deindustrialize. And ive had a realization about why they did it.
If you go back to when capitalism began to really take off a lot of the time different companies and capitalists acted very violently towards eachother. We can see how things like stocks and financial markets were used as a way to reduce inter-ruling class violence by providing an outlet for them to compete inside a legal framework they controlled. The gamification of it.
This seems to have worked for them for awhile. Allowing them to accumulate wealth at an insane rate without much risk of just being assassinated by some rival industrialist.
I think though this has ultimately poisoned their world views and will be what destroys them. In the current era rather than capitalists wealth being based on actual capital, factories, industrial output of their companies, etc. Its more and more based on market speculation. Even the ones who do own factories their wealth comes from stocks whose value is highly speculative.
They have forgotten that it is a game. They have lost touch with the material reality of power. So they willingly hand the means of production over to a communist nation in pursuit of more speculative value without realizing theyve handed the keys to the castle over to the people.
China basically joined their game, and let them feel like they were winning. Allowing them to become rich in the market while China accumulated actual wealth and power via industrial capacity. China seized the means of production without firing a single shot. Or technically, China tricked the west into handing over the means of production willingly.
I think there is now a small faction of them that realize theyre screwed. And its why your seeing so much insane behavior from empire. Its flailing about in a panic.
Because China has already won. The fight between capitalism and communism is already in its final stages, and the communists control most of global production while capitalists are incapable of catching back up.
China played them for fools. The hubris of western capitalists made them think they could simply use financial markets to control the world. They can't.
So whats going to happen now? Well the camp in the west who realize that they lost sight of reality will try to force reindustrialization. As they are now. But the majority of western liberals still dont get it. So theyll fight back to keep doing their financialized games. Sabotaging their own efforts to reindustrialize in the process. You can see this in how Trump and his goons are using tariffs to play the market or how the CHIPs act failed since the companies used the money on stock buy backs.
They are like addicts. They cant stop sabotaging their own system.
China knows this. Its why you saw Xi courting international investors recently. He was basically saying hey keep up the financial games we will make you rich. Like waving a beer in an alcoholics face when theyre trying to quit.
All this is to say, rejoice comrades, for our causes victory is all but assured. China has the west in checkmate. No matter what move they make, they will still lose. They may do lots of damage before their defeat comes, but i think that defeat itself is now a certainty.
Do not allow your own circumstances to blind you if you are in the west, or a nation controlled by it. For even if circumstances seem dire right now i think everything is going exactly to the Communist Party of Chinas plan, and their plans do not stop at Chinas borders. They will not be finished until every human being is free from capitalist oppression.
~ In 1922 a bear discovered fire. A flaming torch the bear carried for a generation. From the skies an eagle attacked, and when the bear died to its claws the world thought that flame lost. But a young dragon ate it and fled to the heavens. Today that flame is a raging inferno. Held within the mouth of that dragon. The eagle thinks it owns the skies, and all the earth below them. Soon though the dragon will descend from the heavens and the eagle will burn. ~

This isn't some sort of new revelation. This is how great power wars work. Industrial capacity is all that matters. Who can keep producing ammo, fuel, and guns longer wins. The germans lost WW2 because they failed to secure soviet oil fields, and their factories got fire bombed so they couldnt fight back anymore. Not because the USSR, or US or UK had better tech.
Ukrainians are just realizing theyre the suckers that the US is using to test out its weapons against Russia and that the US doesn't give a fuck if every Ukrainian dies in the process.
