In response to an Israeli attack against Syrian consular buildings that killed several Iranian military personnel, Iran has announced an attack involving drones and cruise missiles against Israeli military targets

Several countries in the Middle East including Jordan and surrounding neighbors have closed airspace to civilian aircraft, and key Israeli allies have vowed to help shoot down drones and other means of attack

The first drones were expected to arrive in Israel around 1800 EST but there are currently no media reports of any confirmed strikes as of yet. US and key allies are watching the situation closely and the Israeli government has vowed any such attack will not go unanswered

Meh.

I hope I don't forget to breathe. Reading these news and seeing the YouTube "JUST NOW" videos are certainly affecting my everyday life in another continent and another country.

@JuanMena doesn't care about fossil fuels? He uses his feet to go anyway.... JuanMena believes in the power of feet.

Seriously, Iran and Israel need to focus more on the future of they own people. Then comparing the sizes of they small dicks. Leaders of both nations can suck one another off behind close doors without killing innocent people.

I don't care about fossil fuels because:

1- Mexico is a producer of fossil fuel products, i.e, Oil, Gas, and other derivatives to produce plastics and whatnot.

2- Yes, I do walk to my destination whenever I can.

3- The only public transport I utilize is Subway, which is electric and covers my entire state. Subway is a 40 minute walk away from home.

4- I do not own a car. Do I don't spend money in gas.

5- Although it may be used as an excuse to rise prices because "oil/gas prices went up because of the war", I don't have a consumist culture, so I'm not gonna suffer because I won't be able to buy overpriced products, because again, I don't in the first place. Even electricity is something I rarely use throughout my everyday life.

6- Again, unlike USA and other Invasive/Parasite Nations, my country does not depend in other's oil/gas import/export.

7- Yeah, I'd rather use a bicycle than public transportation.


Also, can't believe nobody said: "Think about the poor children." instead of "Man... my oil!" "Man, Biden sucks because the USA should interfere as always and he won't nuke the middle east like we did for more than 60 years."

The US produces significantly more oil than Mexico and is a net exporter, net exports are some 1.6 million barrels per day

Regardless if fuel prices rise globally, in a capitalist economy the price of these fuels will rise at home also

Even if you don't use transportation that utilizes gas you will find yourself paying more for goods and services that need to be transported long distances (which includes basically any product from food, to medicine to clothes)

FREE PALESTINE!
Nothing to do with Palestine, Iran is just mad Israel killed some Iranian revolutionary guards

I've seen this movie before. Where somebody who is nobody really gets killed and starts a big war, when a smaller nation calls a bigger nation to fight its war. I think the movie was called first World War....

Shit movie. Don't want to see that again.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, one of the most significant European powers in the early 20th century - is a nobody?

It's so weird how we keep inching closer and closer to World War III after being told the previous guy was gonna walk us into World War III. Has the media industrial complex been lying to us all this time?

When you fund both sides of wars, you never really lose.

Previous guy would've given Putin a handy while he invaded Ukraine and would now be sending US troops to die in Iran on Netanyahu's behalf. Hell, he tried to start a war against Iran AFTER losing the 2020 election.

Of course a braindead neocon would believe that GWB 2.0 could make everything better though.

Yeah but you're a Trump supporter who believes the 2020 election was stolen from him so you're not someone to take seriously or be respectful towards.

He's also completely ignoring what Rapist Donald Trump said he'd do to Gaza if he were in charge.

Calling Trump GWB 2.0 is an insult to GWB

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
