๐ arctotherium: So much bad Western policy wrt Third World is based on the extremely foolish idea that, if we're nice to them, they'll be nice to us. Bad theory of the mind; we think they're like us (or like Germans/Japanese, with which this basically worked postwar), and they just aren't.

This question came about over a discussion my brother and I had about whether dogs should be on leashes when outside. We both agreed that yes, they should, for several reasons, but that's not the point.
Let's use a hypothetical to better illustrate the question. Imagine that there's a perfume - vanilla, for example - that doesn't bother you at all (you don't like nor dislike it), but that is very upsetting to some people, and can even cause some adverse reactions (allergies or something). In this hypothetical, based on the negative effects, you agree that vanilla perfumes should be banned. Currently, however, they are allowed.
You're walking down the street, and randomly smell someone passing you by and they're wearing a vanilla perfume.
Would that upset you? Why, or why not?
My answer is yes, without a doubt. Even though the smell itself doesn't bother me, the fact someone would wear that perfume and not only potentially upset others, but put them in danger, is upsetting.
My brother, however, would say no! He couldn't explain his reasoning to me.
I know this is a little convoluted, but I hope I got my question across.
There was a certain type of perfume that seemed popular back in the 90s, that would make me instantly gag and almost puke within seconds. I have no clue how anyone found that as any sort of pleasant smell.
To me I thought it smelled like a woman with a nasty yeast infection, trying to cover it up with potpourri. But it wasn't even the women's health causing it, literal potpourri smell alone causes me the same gag reflex, the stuff just smells nasty to me and I can't be in the same room as that smell for long.
So yes, there are reasons to be offended by particular scents, even if others somehow find them pleasant.

You know whatโs crazy is the end of the Bible always talks about how the final showdown between good and evil happens on the fields of Armageddon, like itโs some MCU shit.
Armageddon is a real place. You can just go there. Itโs largely just farmland. Not much happening in terms of biblical revolt.
Just kind of growing grains and stuff. Day to day stuff.
So many naysayers. I'll find you ten better places for the apocalypse:
1. Ethiopia's Afar Desert.
2. The Gates of Hell in Turkmenistan.
3. Centralia, Pennsylvania
4. Catacombs, Venezuela
5. That snake island off the coast of Brazil
6. Chernobyl
7. Haunted Doll Island in Mexico
8. The divergent plate boundary in Iceland
9. Mauna Loa
10. The Yellpwstone Supervolcano.
And those are just my first thoughts.

There are Kikes who call themselves Atheists who insist they are different than Goyim who call themselves Atheists
I would suggest that when profession of belief in their deity Hashem is removed they are still culturally Kikes
There is the shared Kike cultural value between both Kikes who call themselves Atheists and Kikes who call themselves theists and that is the value of discriminating against people based on alleged ancestry

โIf the Untouchables make no noise, the Hindu feels no shame for their condition and is quite indifferent as to their numbers. Whether they are thousands or millions of them, he does not care to bother.
But if the Untouchables rise and ask for recognition, he is prepared to deny their existence, repudiate his responsibility and refuse to share his power without feeling any compunction or remorse.โ

No issues after logging in.
After suspending (sleep) and resuming, screen takes 25 - 30 seconds to turn on.
Display settings in Plasma take a long time to load, sometimes don't show automatic rotation option.
Turning on screen after turning off (even without sleep) takes a long time.
No suspicious logs in Kernel and Journald (even after comparing post-fix).
Switching kernel makes no difference.
Logging out and back in temporarily fixes screen rotation and screen waking until next suspend.
Everything works in X11 session apart from screen rotation (appears unsupported).

Common tale of riches if a proper hero can only slay the dragon before it.
The dragon has no interest in going to go buy goods at the market as it has no need.
Nor does it ever have worry of other dragons having interest in seeking out to take it's "treasures".
The dragon, just seems to be hoarding "treasure" for no particular reason at all and rare is one to find questioned as why a dragon would have any such "modern man" like interest in "treasure" at all.
"Bezos", "Musk", "Buffet", etc.
are IRL "dragons". where "meta" hits the real. *le sigh*

And I should point out also that the three installations, in Esfahan, in Natanz Fordo, that the American regime, the regime in Washington and the regime in Tel Aviv bombed. All three of these installations are regularly inspected by International Atomic Energy Agency experts. All of them, every part, every building, every place that's been bombed is under regular inspection. In other
words, there's nothing there. But the United States and Israeli regime give themselves the right to do what they want. And the Western media by lying, by fabricating information, by fear-mongering, they justify it.
