It really depends on the company. Some look for any way to squeeze you. Others are pretty decent and probably more efficient as they dont waste as many working hours on bullshit claims and claim resolution.
Also if i rent a car i want things to go smoothly. I got places to be. You make my life easy, ill happily pay again and do my best to make yours easy too.
Arguably letting a big weight fall down after being brought into the air somehow is also pyramid age tech.
The US intelligence community kept asserting that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon as late as Spring 2025.
Nothing of this was based on consistent intelligence.
In the late 2000s, for instance, rumors circulated about a bunker in Iran struck by a bunker-buster bomb. The bomb had failed to penetrate—and remained embedded in—the surface of the bunker, presumably until the occupants called in a bomb-disposal team. Rather than smashing through the concrete, the bomb had been unexpectedly stopped dead. The reason was not hard to guess: Iran was a leader in the new technology of Ultra High Performance Concrete, or UHPC, and its latest concrete advancements were evidently too much for standard bunker busters.

Construction on the facility started in 2006, but the existence of the enrichment plant was only disclosed to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) by Iran on 21 September 2009,[6][7] after the site became known to Western intelligence services. Western officials strongly condemned Iran for not disclosing the site earlier;
Seems to fall into the same timeframe.
It is not that it can do what concrete cannot. It is just that digging a tunnel under a mountain is much easier than making a mountain out of concrete.
It is like a rifle vs. a cannon.
Yes it is functionally the same, but the “bullet” is much much larger.
We have never been at war with Eurasia. We have always been at war with East Asia
It isn’t meaningless.
It is not enough in itself and being like “well i said it, now all is done from my side” is problematic.
Still it is important to call it out as a mean to pressure those with direct power to enact consequences to do so.
When was the last time Iran invaded land to settle it with its own people?
There is also the Hannibal directive that was used against Civilians that die.
Israel killed a non disclosed number of its own Civilians to prevent them being taken hostage. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-07/israel-hannibal-directive-kidnap-hamas-gaza-hostages-idf/104224430
Attacking Civilians and killing yourself are haram.
Also note how they guy initially planned to target Shia muslims.
“The witness observed the user of Crazz3pain state they were willing, as reported by the Witness, to ‘kill Shia Musilms at their mosque,”
Fuck Wahhabis, Salafis and their toxic influence on Islam while being in bed with the US and other imperialists.
I strongly recommend you to listen to Ilan Pappe. He describes well how Israels society has deep internal rifts as the narrative of Zionism ultimately failed to build a cohesive society.
So ultimately Israel needs the eternal war for two main reasons:
See for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9rr3j7vZGo
Special systems = indiscriminate bombing of residential building at night to maximize civilians murdered
The difference is that you can conduct all those experiments on your own,
No you as an individual cannot. Starting from the mere exhaustiveness of all things to analyze, to the necessary equipment or police breaking down your door when it comes to nuclear physics.
and every further experiment is based upon earlier discoveries creating a chain of rationality.
And Jesus peace be upon him confirmed the prophets and scriptures before him and Mohamed blessings and peace be upon him confirmed Jesus and his mother Mary. So did earlier prophets confirm the prophets before them.
Also, if something is proven to be wrong or phenomenally unlikely we adapt our worldview to those facts, not the other way around.
Can you point me to a specific part of Quran that is “proven wrong” as an example?
What’s trusted is the scientific method, not individuals and what they wrote.
The scientific method that requires you to falsify the counter hypothesis.
What’s trusted is the scientific method, not individuals and what they wrote. Some scientists simply become more trustworthy as their track record for applying the scientific method is immaculate, both by making discoveries as well as happily accepting when their assumptions were wrong.
Oh boy, you have a very naive idea of the reality of how academia works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck's_principle
In sociology of scientific knowledge, Planck’s principle is the view that scientific change does not occur because individual scientists change their mind, but rather that successive generations of scientists have different views.
Meanwhile with religious texts it’s inherently impossible to come to any sensible conclusion that isn’t derived from yourself and your own opinions and emotions.
By this logic neither theology nor philosophy, music, arts, political science most other social studies and economics are sciences. Also theology precisely does not rely on scripture alone but contextualizes it with history and other sciences.
tl;dr Science and Religion are inherently incomparable as one derives truth from systemic processes and measurable facts, while the other derives “truth” from everyone’s worldview and emotional state of individuals.
Again this evaluation denies anything but math, chemistry and physics to be sciences. Such a stance is deeply anti-intellectual as it reduces “scientific pursuit” to a fraction of human science.
Which one?
If there is only one God, the question of “which one” is obsolete. The question becomes, what your understanding of God is.
Why?
For an overview of arguments see: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/monotheism
Monotheism is the most consistent with the attributes of the divine.
And why would I believe some random thing about that god
Do you believe in Atoms and the latest theory of how they are composed? Unless you have conducted all the experiments leading to that theory yourself, which i doubt, because you don’t have particle accelerators readily available, you will have a basis of “scriptures” and “scholars” whose judgement you trust and follow.
If you choose to presume some of “the rules”, like @[email protected] does, you will have to look at them in their context.
You know, like how you cannot simplify a physical setup by looking at electricity without considering electromagnetism.
If you want to be this pedantic, the basis for Christianity as we know it today lies in the First Council of Nicaea from 325 AD. Furthermore the Catholicism and Orthodox that we know today, relying heavily on iconography only came into existence with the Second Council of Nicaea in 787.
Finally Christian make up the majority of Abrahamic Faith at around 55% , however would you consider the Political system of say the UK to be a “Labour party system” because they make up the majority? Would the US political system be the “Republican party system”? Or would you say that the multiplicity in them has to be acknowledged?
More like:
“Should we publish your search results, that text with your affair and have your teenager arrested for his drugs? No? Then come over to the office on Friday at 4 PM and suck our dicks. We mean that literally by the way. Brush your teeth beforehand.”
This has multiple inconsistencies. First of all speaking of “Christian God” is ignoring the Abrahamic Faith existing well before Christianity and the prophethood and message of Mohammed peace and blessing be upon him, clarifying a lot of the positions that contemporary Christianity got wrong from the Islamic perspective. Now whether you believe in it is a different question, but evidently Christianity is only a part of the Abrahamic Faith.
Second of all, if there is only one God, which i am convinced of, there cannot be praying to “the wrong one”. In that sense also the comic is falling short of basic logic. It does not matter in which language you say “God” if you believe in his oneness.
Third of all, if you accept God as the creator of everything, his promise of the afterlife and his expectation of worship, then you have to accept the existence of Gods messengers and prophets. Now there is the risk of following a false prophet, but by learning about the messengers and prophets you have the ability to discern false prophets and false teachings.
Finally your argument is based on assuming God to not have given you the means to know, thereby you would not be judged if you choose to stay ignorant, however the opposite is true by the scriptures. Seeking knowledge of God and his message and being sincere in your efforts will be rewarded and your mistakes will be forgiven if you sincerely repent for them. You know about God and evidently have some concept of his promises and warnings. Thereby you cannot claim a lack of knowledge as you have the duty to learn and build a correct understanding.
If you say you don’t believe because that is what is in your heart that is one thing, but claiming to not believe based on that being your “best bet” will not work.
Yes, it is intentional. And the “never attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence” trope is clearly wrong in the context of politicians.
When they do these things they know what they are doing and who they are doing it for. Imagine an engineer would have designed 10 generations of exploding phones. Would you say it is just incompetence after the third one? So why give politicians the slack to always be “incompetent” in the same way over and over again that just so happens to defend the interests of the oligarchy against the normal people?
