  • Iran's revolutionary guards tell ships passage through Strait of Hormuz 'not allowed'

    Jump

  • Haha.

    Yup. We fully transitioned by 2020 and this won't have any negative effects, especially not on Europe. /s

  • Sorry, can't do scarves.

  • Foresight FTW.

  • In the end we inplemented NoTaD pointers (“notified on target destruction”, essentially weak pointers but this was back in the day when weak pointers and smart pointers weren’t really well defined) that would discover when the thing they took a precious pointer to was actually no longer valid.

    It's weird to me that programming practice has changed that much in 20 years. That's still closer to today than to Dennis Richie doing his thing.

  • Trump’s Attack on Iran Is Reckless

    Jump

  • Okay, if we're going to be serious for a second, sure. Saying all war is dirty comes with risks too, though; people try and excuse actual atrocities that way. There is such a thing as really dirty vs. minimally dirty.

  • BREAKING NEWS - Israeli media reports Supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leader of Iran, was killed inside his bunker

    Jump

  • It's not about qualifications, it's about why would anybody in Iran listen to him? This is military logic, it's not like you take out the previous guy and then everyone listens to you; you have to make them. As it is, Trump might as well declare the guy in charge of the UK. Brits would about as motivated to give up their money when it comes time to pay him taxes.

    If there were American troops on the ground they could make it meaningful, but there won't be, and an airstrike isn't precise enough to enforce laws.

  • I'll be watching oil prices like a hawk. I hear there's a glut, and this possibility will have been priced in already a bit, but it's going to go up.

  • Iran's revolutionary guards tell ships passage through Strait of Hormuz 'not allowed'

    Jump

  • It's not really a major trade route for anything except oil. If you look on a map you'll see why.

  • what is the axis doing? did iran want to commit suicide or is it part of their plan to bring down the world with them?

    Jump

  • They didn't want whatever ludicrous "deal" Trump would have offered, and are much more evenly matched with Americans than you might think. At least in a defencive war.

    (And really, it's Iran, I doubt the rest of the Axis of Resistance had much of a say)

  • I aspire to be as petty as War Thunder players

    Jump

  • Yeah, better than a leak, I guess.

    But still, all the grass he would have touched on the way, and none of it seemed to help.

  • Let the alliance of democracy hold strong

    Jump

  • And a little more that Ukraine still holds, just 'cause.

  • Let the alliance of democracy hold strong

    Jump

  • Eh, it's pretty flawed, but Zelensky was fairly elected and it's reasonable to say they're getting more democratic over time. I bunch of people in power just got knocked down over corruption, for example.

  • Let the alliance of democracy hold strong

    Jump

  • And if anybody doesn't want to help with the log, they can veto it and we'll all just march on alone.

    That's maybe overly doomer, but you have to admit there's an element of it going on.

  • Let the alliance of democracy hold strong

    Jump

  • It's winter.

  • How do you say "illegal war of aggression"?

    Jump

  • Yes, but unless she uses the exact words whatever shitposter would, she too is a bad person, and doing nothing but shitposting is justifiable.

  • BREAKING NEWS - Israeli media reports Supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leader of Iran, was killed inside his bunker

    Jump

  • He's about as prepared to run Iran as I am. Well, I guess he speaks the language at least. It's not like you get one guy people don't hate/sorta like and just plug them in, though.

    Who does have organisation and some support is the IRGC and the normal military. And probably all kinds of paramilitary movements on the peripheries. If Trump was going to send in troops and occupy it on the ground, they could try to slap together a shitty government of misfits like in Iraq, but he's not.

  • BREAKING NEWS - Israeli media reports Supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leader of Iran, was killed inside his bunker

    Jump

  • Hmm, they did hit a girl's school, didn't they? This says he was in a bunker, though.

  • What is a common stereotype about your country or your ancestors’ country(ies) that just isn’t true?

    Jump

  • Do people actually think that?

    We produce it, but it only goes in recipes that include it. Usually pancakes. I don't know, do Americans eat everything with a hamburger on top?

    Edit: Another dumb one at that at least somebody thinks: we all live in igloos. No, sometimes there's no snow. Even in the arctic where it's traditional they don't typically anymore, because that's just a hut made of frozen water. It has no toilet or electricity.

  • TBF a lot of us do; it's our big sport. But, not everybody likes sports. It's kind of like saying all Americans like American football. (Canada's official national sport is actually lacrosse)

    I've heard there's a stereotype we're all outdoorsy. I guess in my region everybody does camp, and knows basic camping stuff, but there's also a tendency to start the fire with copious accelerants and a blowtorch. At that point you might as well just bring a space heater and plug it in.
