We are told that #Taiwan is an international flash point and the #USA is honor-bound to defend Tawian against reunification with the mainland because, and I quote: “Taiwan’s 23 million people deserve self-determination”.
Why didn’t the 9,103,332 people of the Confederate States of America deserve self-determination?
Why don’t the 4,543,126 people of Palestine deserve self-determination?
Why didn’t the 10.3 million people of the separatist oblasts of Ukraine deserve self-determination?
Why don’t the 8,012,231 people of Catalunya deserve self-determination?
#Self-determination is just another #Enlightenment #inversion. It means that #ClownWorld will claim it is a casus belli whenever it wants a #war, and use military force to deny whenever it fears losing control. Unless the USA is going to go to war with #Israel, #Ukraine, and #Spain, and permit the former-Confederate states to depart the #Union in #peace, it has absolutely no business claiming any right or responsibility to “defend” one part of #China from the rest of it.

@Theaitetos (Рцяэыоод) Self determination is subjective and only relevant when the US empire of ZOG determines that a people, of its designation, needs it. It is just another two tiered hypocritical position that is used by the US and her vassals to rationalize their behaviors.

Wir leben in einer Mediengesellschaft. Für diese Aussage wären im Grunde fünf Euro ins Phrasenschwein fällig, denn die Anzahl der Medien, die um die Gunst der Leser und Zuschauer buhlen, war noch nie so hoch. Wir leisten uns in #Deutschland den Luxus eines hochbezahlten öffentlich-rechtlichen #Rundfunks, für den die #Sendeanstalten 8,74 Milliarden Euro im vergangenen Jahr eingesammelt haben. Dazu kommt eine sehr große Anzahl an Zeitungen, die sich von der klassischen regionalen #Tageszeitung bis hin zum überregional bedeutenden Blatt bewegen. Auch die neuen oder alternativen Medien haben in den vergangenen Jahren ein enormes Wachstum hingelegt. Hinzu kommen Fachzeitschriften für jede noch so ausgefallene Profession und mannigfaltige Hobbies. Man könnte also im Grunde von einer bestens informierten Gesellschaft ausgehen und läge damit so weit daneben, wie es nur eben noch geht.
Acquaintance of mine adopted a kitten but her senior cat (female) keeps attacking him. She was about to take him back to the Humane Society. I agreed to foster him for a few days to see if Momo (my senior male) accepts him. If so I will adopt the newcomer.
It’s been a while since I’ve interacted with a kitten and good lord he’s got a lot of energy. I adopted all my other cats as adults. Young adult cats have more than enough energy for me; this little guy is bonkers.
@FemaleIsNotAFeelingMy acquaintance named him Georgie. That doesn’t roll off my tongue but it’s his name for now, until a better name reveals itself. He certainly is curious, so Curious George applies.

**How do you know a bunker will stand forever?** Not by the thickness of its walls. Not by the depth of its foundation. But by the attention to the details no one will ever see. When concrete is poured — it's not just about the mix. Air temperature, humidity levels, the condition of the rebar — all of it matters. When cables are laid — it’s not just connection, it’s about foresight: replacement, overloads, insulation. A bunker is not just "shelter". It’s a philosophy of resilience. There is no place for “maybe” here. Everything is deliberate.

The Controversial Practice of Seafood Farming with Pig Waste Dirk
In today’s global food market, consumers are increasingly concerned about the safety and origins of their seafood. A particularly controversial practice has emerged in some Asian aquaculture industries: raising seafood using pig feces as a primary feed source. This practice raises significant questions about food safety, health risks, and environmental sustainability.
In certain regions of Asia, fish farmers have developed a cost-effective but questionable method of raising seafood by using pig manure as a primary nutrient source for fish. This practice originated as an economic solution to reduce feed costs and manage agricultural waste. However, it has sparked intense debate about food safety and public health.
The process involves using untreated pig feces to fertilize fish ponds, providing nutrients that stimulate algae and microorganism growth, which in turn feed the fish. While economically advantageous for farmers, this method presents several critical concerns:
Potential transmission of harmful bacteria Risk of parasitic contamination Compromised food safety standards FDA Regulations and Import Standards
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a crucial role in monitoring seafood imports. Despite the controversial farming practices, the FDA has established guidelines to ensure imported seafood meets minimum safety requirements. However, challenges persist in completely preventing contaminated products from entering the market.
According to FDA data, only a small percentage of seafood shipments undergo comprehensive testing. This leaves significant potential for contaminated products to reach American consumers. Past incidents have highlighted vulnerabilities in the current inspection system, including shipments containing antibiotic-resistant bacteria and other dangerous pathogens.
Health Risks and Potential Consequences
Seafood raised using such unconventional methods poses substantial health risks. Potential consequences include:
Increased risk of foodborne illnesses Potential transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria Higher likelihood of parasitic infections The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that seafood-related illnesses affect thousands of Americans annually. Contaminated imported seafood can introduce serious health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.
Environmental and Ethical Considerations
Beyond human health concerns, these aquaculture practices raise significant environmental and ethical questions. The use of animal waste in food production can lead to ecosystem disruption, water pollution, and potential long-term environmental damage.
Moreover, such practices highlight broader issues within the global food supply chain, including the prioritization of cost-cutting measures over sustainable and ethical food production methods.
Protecting Yourself as a Consumer
Consumers can take several steps to minimize risks associated with potentially contaminated seafood:
Purchase seafood from reputable sources Look for certifications like Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Prioritize locally sourced seafood when possible Ask retailers about the origin and farming practices of their seafood Conclusion
The practice of raising seafood using pig feces represents a complex issue involving food safety, economic constraints, and global trade dynamics. While regulatory bodies work to establish and enforce standards, consumers must remain informed and proactive in making responsible seafood purchasing decisions.
By understanding these challenges and supporting sustainable, ethical food production methods, we can collectively work towards a safer, more transparent global food system.

Im Austausch dafür dass die EU ihre eigenen Regeln ignoriert hat (die Handelsbeziehungen überprüfen und ggf auf Eis legen) - gab's von der israelischen Regierung ein paar Versprechen über mehr Hilfe in #Gaza. Doch was wurde eigentlich konkret vereinbart? War der Deal fair?
»Last week, the European Union's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, announced a deal with the Israeli government to increase the amount of humanitarian aid going into Gaza. Israel promised to allow more trucks packed with food and medicines into the war-torn enclave; in return, the EU decided to sidestep, for the time being, any plans to demote its diplomatic and economic relationship with Israel.«
»The deal was born out of a threat by the EU to suspend the association agreement with Israel, which guides the bloc's close cooperation with the country. Citing a clause in the agreement requiring "respect for human rights," some EU officials have called to reexamine the agreement, based on Israel's conduct in Gaza – specifically the accusation that Israel is deliberately starving the population of Gaza.«
Das was Kallas angeboten hat war das was womit man den israelischen Staat tatsächlich hätte unter Druck setzen können, als Drohung vom Tisch runter zu nehmen.
Sa'ar bekam von Kallas genau das was er wollte, und konnte sich als Sieger präsentieren.
Im Gegenzug gab's nur unbestimmte Versprechen. Was genau wie viel, in welcher Form, wissen wir nicht. Die konkreten Details sind geheim. Für die Öffentlichkeit nicht messbar, zählbar oder nachprüfbar
»To use simple words, the EU paid in cash, but Israel only made a promise to deliver the goods in the future. Kallas gave Sa'ar the "win" he wanted when the monthly meeting of the EU's foreign ministers ended without any concrete decisions against Israel. «
Das große Problem für Sa'ar - konkrete Zahlen für mehr Hilfslieferungen ( meist geht's dabei nur um das nicht-Blockieren) wären unpopulär in Israel.
»The exact numbers were most likely kept secret in order to save Sa'ar and the rest of the government from an embarrassing political situation in Israel, where increasing aid to Gaza is currently an extremely unpopular policy.«
»But Kallas should have known that this specific government is full of liars, thieves and demagogues, who place no value on their own word, and constantly spout and spread disinformation.
By not publishing the exact terms of the agreement, she made it incredibly easy for the government to slow-walk, dilute and deny its own commitments. That explains her statement this week about "tangible improvements" happening in Gaza, but not yet what her deal with Israel was supposed to bring about.«
Das ist in etwa so, als würde man in der deutschen Politik eine Vereinbarung mit der AfD treffen, künftig nicht mehr von einem Verbotsverfahren zu sprechen, wenn die AfD verspricht etwa netter zu Minderheiten zu sein.
Das wäre natürlich absurd. Und im Fall Gaza ist es noch absurder. Da geht's darum sich auf nette Zusagen zu verlassen, während in diesem Moment gerade Menschen sterben, erschossen werden oder verhungern - während der Gesprächspartner Konzentrationslager bauen möchte.
Mittleweile scheint Kaja Kalla- nach Berichten über die Lage in Gaza - klar geworden sein, dass sie den Schein nicht wahren kann, von Gideon Sa'ar ernst gemeinte Versprechen bekommen zu haben.
>>The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible.
I spoke again with @ gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points.
All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges<<
This week Keir Starmer did this to four of his MPs: However, back when Angela Rayner served under a decent person as leader, she appeared to have scruples and cared about her constituents.
So far today, 55 people have been arrested for terrorism offences by the combined forces of the UK police. This possibly represents the most successful counter-terrorism action in the nation's history.
The reason for this success is both farcical and pathetic.
But let us offer our congratulations to the Great British police for keeping the country safe from placards containing speech acts.
"David Barnea [Mossad director] wants the US to provide incentives to Libya, Indonesia, and Ethiopia to accept hundreds of thousands of Palestinians" Israel is building a concentration camp in southern Gaza for 600,000 Palestinians who will not be able to return to their homes. "Israel is preparing for the mass displacement of Palestinians out of Gaza" They have been planning this for decades.
Al hilo de lo de CODERE-Montoro, les quisiera contar una historia sobre el juego. El juego no es un problema individual, sino que es un drama familiar y un reto social. 1/12
El presidente de una comunidad de propietarios se había gastado el dinero de la comunidad en el bingo. No paso nada hasta que un buen día dejó de funcionar el ascensor del edificio. No había pagado el mantenimiento y no pasó la inspección. 2/12
Fue en ese momento cuando su mujer y sus hijos se enteraron de la adicción del marido. Los adictos siempre ocultan que juegan y la familia es la última que se entera. Eso le causó el rechazo de la comunidad de propietarios y acabó con la ruptura de la pareja. Él abandonó la vivienda. 3/12
Al poco, vinieron a verme las hermanas de mi defendido. Las estaban presionando para que ellas, jubiladas y con unos pequeños ahorros, se hicieran cargo de la deuda de su hermano. Mi respuesta fue que ellas no tenían por supuesto ninguna obligación legal. 4/12
Mi defendido me pidió reconocer los hechos y la Audiencia Provincial de Madrid le condenó. No recuerdo la pena. Recuerdo que él se puso bajo tratamiento para la adicción. Lo del apoyo a los adictos del juego merece otro análisis. Es inexistente. 5/12
Lees mensajes sobre el juego responsable. Cuando los leo, pienso en el consumo de heroína responsable. Lees la parte de las ley del juego sobre las políticas de juego responsable y piensas en el cinismo del legislador. www.boe.es/buscar/act.p... 6/12
En los grupos de terapias del juego ves casos que se te cae el alma a los pies: mujeres que se enteran de la adicción del marido cuando les deniegan un crédito, cuando les encuentran una cuenta corriente que no conocían, cuando tienen que cambiar a los niños de colegio... 7/12
...cuando no pueden reparar el coche, cuando no tienen para la farmacia, cuando tienen que pedir a los padres, cuando tienen que rehipotecar la vivienda... 8/12
Y todo en una sociedad que es una pura invitación a la adicción: instalar una app en el móvil, la gamificación en el colegio, la app de Netflix, las apuestas deportivas, el gordo de Navidad... 9/12
Es como si los cocainómanos tuvieran bandejitas con nieve en cualquier esquina: entrar en un bar, la oficina el 21 de diciembre, los lunes y la quiniela, las casas de apuestas, las camisetas de los equipos de deportes... Y ahora lo de CODERE. Poderoso caballero es don dinero. 11/12

Finally came up with a solution. Sorta like Keanu Reeves’ solution in Speed, “shoot the hostage”. I destroyed the aerator. I looked it up and I can purchase replacements, so I cracked, broke, and chipped away until the aerator was gone. Now I get a single stream/jet of water, but at least I get water coming out. That will keep the women happy until I can get a new aerator.
@PNS probably, but it was all the threads. It almost looked like a layer of loc-tite. It just sucked wasting so much time only to make the decision to chisel it out
You have to swear You've got love to love me, ah ah That will last forever, ah ah We must have a story, ah ah With a happy ending, aaah
So don't ever go away And never put aside The things I'm gonna say 'Cause these are rules for us
Use your eyes Only to look at me Use your mouth Only to kiss my lips We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh Only if you laugh with me You can cry Only if you cry for me Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see? You always were You'll always be
You used to say I should see a doctor, ah ah Who would keep me busy? ah ah 'Cause a jealous woman Never makes it easy, aaah
And you know I'll do for us Whatever seems right But it may take a while Before I change the rules
Use your eyes Only to look at me Use your mouth Only to kiss my lips We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh Only if you laugh with me You can cry Only if you cry for me Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see? You always were You always were
So use your eyes Only to look at me Use your mouth Only to kiss my lips We are branches of the same old tree
You can laugh Only if you laugh with me You can cry Only if you cry for me Don't forget that you're condemned to me
Oh, can't you see? You always were You'll always be Aaah, aaah
