re: What’s the off-ramp in Iran?

There’s a stubborn refusal to believe the level of support that the regime has. Everyone agrees Iranians are dissatisfied, but that doesn’t negate the majority’s support for Islamism. We tend to underestimate how resilient religious cultures are.
Congrats, but RIP your sleep schedule for the next 8 weeks.
Better the Coast Guard than Miles College which tried to buy it without any money.

So all one would have to do to take over the British Isles is to attack around 7pm? They really are some clowns over there.


Britain effectively doesn’t have a navy right now. For the first time in history, every single Royal Navy capital ship outside of their ballistic missile subs are in port with repairs. Both carriers will be unavailable for months. Even their Astute class attack subs are tied up.

Wow.
Ive had satisfactory service with Mint Mobile for over a year now.
Ah yes, the Thou Shalt Not Be White command in the Bible. Comes right after “Masculinity is bad, sayeth the Lord”.
We cant agree on anything except that we hate each other.
There are staggering job losses coming in the West, and I don't think governments and societies are prepared for it. We’re in new territory, where new technology outright replaces vast swaths of humans instead of making them more productive.

AI doesn't give a flying frick about your political party. If your job can be done by AI, you're going to lose it. And there’s more to come.

Then get a new book, because this is real-life, not a Seth Rogan movie. You don't put children in inappropriate adult situations.
A Yak-130 isnt really a fighter. Its a subsonic trainer that's sometimes pressed into lite strike service. A Korean war Saber Jet could have shot it down.

The way I heard exiles put it was “The Shah wielded an iron fist in a velvet glove. Khomeini just said to hell with the glove”.

There’s a Really rich Persian here named Sardar Biglari. Dad was an officer in the Shah’s military, family fled here in ‘79. He owns the Cracker Barrell and Steak and Shake brands, and has an investment company called The Lion Fund.

If youre going to list famous Persians, include the infamous celebs, too.



He says the angel Gabriel told Mary that “This is your choice, you can turn this down”. He uses this to say abortion is God-ordained, because the Lord gives women a choice.

Look at the actual passage in Luke 1:26-38

quote:

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.


Obviously, nowhere in there is a choice. Gabriel says “this will happen”, and Mary essentially says “good”.

Literally calling good evil, and evil, good.
