That article has a “poor Russia” feel to it. Makes me question what they mean by shadow war.

Even those who see such lethal missions as defensible in wartime question the utility of certain strikes and decisions that led to the targeting of civilians including Dugina or her father, Alexander Dugin — who officials acknowledge was the intended mark — rather than Russians more directly linked to the war.

“We have too many enemies who are more important to neutralize,” said a high-ranking Ukraine security official. “People who launch missiles. People who committed atrocities in Bucha.” Killing the daughter of a pro-war firebrand is “very cynical,” the official said.

When it says advertising, it always makes me think they mean product placement in the comments.

It’s hard for any of us from the outside looking in to make a judgement call. The OP could be sending threatening messages to that admin to cause drama, it could be an honest mistake, a malicious admin or the whole instance is Meta masquerading as a decent instance, we just don’t know. There are a lot of serious malicious actors trying to take this instance down, that was obvious a month or so ago. As you say, whatchagonnado but see how it plays out.

That all does sound like there is a rogue admin, have you contacted Ruud or another one of the admins? This isn’t a faceless organization, but a volunteer one. Someone could have came in to do harm, or this is a shitty instance (I’m leaning towards it being an attack). I haven’t had anything weird happen, but I’ve been naive about this before. Ruud could be being naive too. I think we’d love to know how this all turns out, so keep us updated.

So, you agree, since the destruction of the first temple, there has been some issues that have cropped up. Should I say 2nd temple then? I feel like you’re an archaeology student/pro that is getting lost in the weeds. It’s still millennia. (Or maybe 50 years short, if you’re going to be technical. I bet you’re going to be).

Also, stop editing everything, it’s a pain in the ass. That area has been in conflict over one of the religions since at least 70 CE.

The Romans destroyed it 70CE. ~600 years between major sacks of your city shows it’s not that important.

Right, not important enough to build an arc de triumph, oh wait…

Last comment, you still haven’t talked about the Waq, I wonder why.

Technically, Northern Ireland and Ireland share a border, just saying. Also, Ireland is more apt since they share the same religion, one came after the other, they both think they’re right and it’s a total, lengthy, shitshow.

What happened to the First temple?

On your edit,

What happened to the 2nd (actually 3rd) temple? Why does the Waq in Jordon oversee anything Temple Mount? Don’t forget, Crusades anyone?

That movie haunts me to this day. Ivanka seemed like the best of the lot and well, that didn’t turn out great.

I think it’s interesting that you chose Scotland and not Ireland, lol.

That area, because of so many religions centered on it and/or the power it holds, has been fought over since Solomon’s Temple.

I agree with InfiniteGlitch, this conflict has been going on for centuries, arguably millennia. IMO, at its core, it’s land rights with religion piled on top. Depending on who you talk to, both sides have plenty of reason to hate each other (doesn’t make it lead to any good) because of what their forefathers have done up to present day atrocities. Ultimately, it has come down to reactionary hate over land rights, freedom, fear and safety. I find it helpful to read the facts of what is happening from a distance and take the emotion out of it. When you do that, I’m not sure how this conflict will end. There is so much retaliation. The prisoner thing has me understanding why they’re going overboard. The backlash from Israel makes sense if you think you’re justified in keeping everyone in an open air prison. I hope they all find peace, but I don’t see how that can happen when everyone is raised in that environment of hate & vengeance. Basically, read everything you can on it and take the facts from each. Everyone will spin it to their opinion.

This is all volunteer and by donation, be the change you want to see. Mistakes happen. Having been a mod, it’s way harder than it looks. I can’t imagine how hard an admin is.

That does look like they deleted the person by accident. When people are attacking you, it’s hard to see everyone clearly.

Re-read the bold part I put up, lol.

Speaking of, food companies know that some people are very sensitive to MSG so they started listing it as different names. If it says protein, you’ve got yourself a form of MSG. I’ll add a source later.

Wow, I’m so glad overly processed and under-nutritious foods have a cheerleader.

MSG is fantastic and can bring an already good dish to a new level, or you could add a whole lot of it into a bad dish and possibly elevate it to palatable.

It does make everything taste great and it’s highly addictive, which is a big reason why people overeat today. Has anyone ever studied when MSG became prevalent and the obesity problem in America? Also, people may be allergic to the source product of MSG:

They are especially numerous in the hypothalamus, hippocampus and amygdala, where they control autonomic and metabolic activities (Zhu and Gouaux, 2017[22]). Results from both animal and human studies have demonstrated that administration of even the lowest dose of MSG has toxic effects.

It’s a few links in, but they define it in a whole article.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/public-health-nutrition/article/ultraprocessed-foods-what-they-are-and-how-to-identify-them/E6D744D714B1FF09D5BCA3E74D53A185

And ultra-processed foods play a particularly unusual part in that? It’s a question that science doesn’t yet have all the answers for. There is already some research that tells us that when a western junk food diet is given to young people who normally eat a fairly healthy diet for a week, we can see there are impairments in the cognitive functions of the hippocampus [an area of the brain]. We and others have shown that people who have a less healthy diet have a smaller hippocampus, and people who have a healthier diet have a larger hippocampus.

I am by no means a police apologist,

Narrator: He was.

I don’t know what that means.
