    Middle East Running Iranian threat news and discussion thread

    The enemy of my enemy is useful to me if I can use them to prick my enemy. And should anyone harp so much on the Sunni-Shia divide when Shi'ite Iran supports Sunni Hamas? As for Iran being more radical than juche North Korea, its leaders constantly tried attacking foreign Jews and Israel, even...

    Middle East Running Iranian threat news and discussion thread

    Considering Iran did support AQ for awhile, one never knows if it may have had a hand in it as well. Nah, it'll just use them for nuclear blackmail on South Korea.

    Amazon Patents System to Group Toxic Gamers Together

    One issue I wonder is whether their sorting algorithm is sophisticated enough to pair or group up people correctly. Because a lot of these tech company AIs are kind of meh right now.

    Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

    There is an actual Satanist group, not the LeVay stuff, from what people on SB have said. They consider LeVay types to be cosplayers and idiots IIRC. Groups like the Order of Nine Angles or something.

    What If? A Machine meant to directly upload information into someone's brain in a Photographic-Memory-Way had designs spread around the world?

    During this period, It's the Imperial Truth, not the Imperial Creed, for the IoM. Frankly I'm more terrified about being taken by the IoM because that means the Warp is real. And that hellish place should never be real.

    WarPac vs. NATO Tank and Armored Vehicle Designs/Doctrine

    Both the Israelis & South Koreans use conscript armies. Same with the Singaporeans as well. The Israelis have fought multiple times with a conscripted military. Not all conscripts are unmotivated druggies or whatever people like to think of them.

    Russian floating dry dock collides with several missile frigates and a submarine.

    Honestly, this feels like any navy's typical accidents or mishaps. Nothing really scsry or amazing here.
