Saudi has been in a cold war with Iran for decades because it wants to be a regional hegemon and hasn’t been quiet about it. Turkey is more circumspect, giving everybody face while cutting them off at the knees in the shadows. Egypt, by comparison, would much prefer to stay out of everybody’s business and have them stay out of theirs. They’ve got more interests in Sudan and Ethiopia at this point.

What’re we suddenly considering the Saudis and the Turks the moderating influence in the middle east now and Israel and the US aren’t even in the equation? Jesus Christ.

I guess I’m a train now.

I bet he got stuck in some mud and got mad,

That really is all there is to it. Dude can barely navigate stairs. Actually walking on grass after rain makes him look dopy and his ego can’t handle it

Hard to have standing over a third party not doing something to someone else that would hurt them to maybe(key point here) help you. It’s possible to argue yourself there but the bar is incredibly high. If you can’t assign direct provable causation and redress, you’re SOL.

It’s kind of like how nobody really could challenge DACA in the courts from the Republican side because all the harms they cited were hypothetical.

The legal basis is someone with standing would have to sue him over it. Tiktokm certainly isn’t going to and Congress… Well.

Lose what?

What point? All that’s been presented is that you post racist shit. There’s no argument, it’s just a factual presentation. It’s not a logical conclusion it’s a basic premise.

There’s no argument to be had, obviously. If you want one:

Racist shit is dumb. You acknowledge posting racist shit. Therefore you post dumb shit.

I feel justified but I also feel a bit racist. by Plesiohedron @lemmy.cafe

We can beat them and shoot the journalists with rubber bullets just fine, thank you.

I had it in hand because it was on the second page of my comment history and I knew I had posted an image. I just found the fact that I’ve repeatedly been reminded of a band I haven’t thought of in years several times in a week funny.

Ptz also recently posted about them and I saw them brought up another time this week but I forget where. It’s just a lemmy week for them in my feed.

Christ ever since that shit post about a moth on the price is right it feels like Lemmy is nothing but presidents of the United States @ptz@dubvee.org

ICE committing the violence, such as when they intentionally shot rubber bullets at an Australian reporter

Wasn’t that the LAPD? It was an ACAB moment I believe, not ICE specifically.

Yeah and even functional infrared eyes need to be at least twice the size of ours if not over ten times for more far thermal ranges. Anime eyes. The classic 20/20 D&D infravision would require eyes the size of basketballs, lol. Dark elves would put the innsmouth look to shame.

Handheld devices can receive it, but to actually “see” with it you need a very large aperture(iris) and a “retina” with many of those antennas that respond to different wavelengths. The overall structure of an eye capable of seeing would be massive, not because the signal is faint or you can’t “fit” the amplitude in the aperture but because that’s what you need for acuity and to actually have meaningful angular resolution. Those long waves have more limited angles to fit in a given eye diameter. For something like AM, we’re talking a very big structure.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_resolution

θ ≈ λ/D where θ is the angular resolution, λ is the wavelength, and D is the diameter of the aperture

As you can see, increasing the wavelength by orders of magnitude means you need to increase the aperture by orders of magnitude to get the same angular resolution.

They’d have really big eyes. Depending on the wavelength they can see, they might be nearly all eye.

If they were able to see a significant chunk of it at good acuity they’d have to be so big I doubt they could survive in a gravity well thanks to the square cube law of surface area. Be more like living space stations. If they were distributed organisms like a mycelium or Aspen colony, maybe they could survive actually visiting Earth, but they’d be really big. Processing that much data over large areas would mean they are very sophisticated thinkers but with a very high latency so slow.

One fun implication of these building sized to tens of kilometer sized eyes is that am sources would look like a one color light source getting brighter and darker while an fm source would slightly shift colors. Going to earth would be like going clubbing with strobes and disco lights thrown everywhere.

You’ll find you get much more engagement here either as a poster or a commenter.

That’s close to what Scalia/Thomas argued but that’s not what the majority opinion says. They explicitly say you always have the ability to plead the fifth and have it not be used as evidence. And it’s true. You never have to self incriminate. But their argument is you have to make it explicit, which is frankly dumb.
