I have been flagged three times by teamviewer. Appealing requires writing an email and waiting weeks. This last time my use was consistent and only ever connected to my home computer due about 10 minutes tops.

They just don't want free users who don't upgrade to a monthly subscription but will never say that.

Sometimes I want to buy juice that doesn’t have a shitload of sugar in it

You haven't researched as well as you think you have. Even freshly squeezed juice is unhealthy. You need the pulp too in order to slow the sugar metabolism, in which case you may as well just eat fruit.

Check Robert Lustig re sugars.

What makes even more sense is that they now might be secretly forced to hack for the government in exchange for bread and water and staying out of prison.

Thanks, yeah someone else said similar here.

OK, thanks but then that raises another question: Doesn't expanding the money supply devalue the dollar?

Am no expert but didn't the money come from the banks virtual reserves? In which case the total money in the economy hasn't changed.

Before the house purchase it would have been in other investments, no?

Not so sure about Iran. I have looked for unambiguous quotes from them but can only find kooky religious stuff about Mahdism which is kind of like extremist Christians with their second coming madness.

Well educated Iranians seem to be Atheist whereas even intellectuals in Israel can be right wing religious nuts.

Certainly Iranian proxy groups like Hamas have unambiguously calked for a global caliphate

“Hamas, which is widely recognized as an Iranian proxy, has leaders and official rhetoric that go beyond the goal of liberating Palestine and at times explicitly reference the ambition of establishing a global Islamic caliphate.“

“On December 1, 2023, senior Hamas official Fathi Hammad declared on Al-Aqsa TV that the Palestinians are preparing to establish an Islamic caliphate with Jerusalem as its capital. He and other Hamas leaders have repeatedly stated that the liberation of Palestine is just a prelude to bringing all Islamic countries—and eventually the entire world—under Islamic rule, referencing the conquest of Rome and America as future goals”

For the record, my housemate of two years in Australia is Iranian. I also make music with an Iranian in Mashhad via the Internet (we jam electronic music). He is an extreme loner but tells me what society is like there.

Thanks.

And I didn't know Signal had spam filters. It makes sense to not make that open source.

In my circle of 20 there has only been one instance of spam over several years. 3 of us got the same message.

The supply in circulation. Bonds are promissory notes. I don't think the money disappears from ledgers.

The fractional reserve is fixed AFAIK.

Wiki citation:

86. The United Nations verified the recruitment and use of 4 Palestinian children (3 boys, 1 girl) by Israeli forces as human shields (3) and by the Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades (1) as combatants in the occupied West Bank (3) and the Gaza Strip (1).

So that's 4 examples of the IDF and 8 of the Palestinian militants. The numbers are not a scorecard though. These are just children and just the ones they had evidence of. Must happen a lot more, especially if you count adult shields.

I expect better from IDF since they represent a democratic government and so we should be hearing of the rogue soldiers being disciplined (jailed even). We rarely hear that.

Got a citation for that claim?

There are also claims of IDF sending civilians ahead of a raid in potentially booby trapped buildings.

But why waste our time on hearsay? It is hard enough examining all the documented evidence from each side.

In feel like there just aren't enough of us trying to get at the truth. It is more like a game of football from the comfort of our Western homes where we encourage our team to keep going regardless of losses (on the ProPal side the encouragement for Hamas to not surrender is especially buzaare).
