The bust is off Gaius Julius Caesar, the man who, using his massive popularity after a series of successful conquests, did a little coup to become the first emperor of the Roman empire (Roman Republic up to that point and formally throughout his reign).

Contemporary sources say he was an excellent orator and commanded absolute loyalty from his men and some famous Latin quotes are originally attributes to him (eg "Aleia iacta est" - "The die is cast" when he initiated his coup by trespassing his army into the de militarized zone around Rome).

He died getting stabbed by a number of senators (the Senate being the Roman parliament) among which was his step son Brutus. Killing him was an attempt to save the Roman Republic but proved instead to be a catalyst that accelerated the rise of his adoptive son Augustus who then became the actual first emperor of the newly formed Roman Empire.

The meme implies that if he had skilled a little bit of block he might have survived the attempt on his life. However, he was stabbed a LOT, was completely unarmed and out numbered about 60:1. He would probably have needed a lot of cheese wheels to make it through that.

Feral and semi feral cats are common in many places all over Europe and Asia. Animals killing other animals isn't murder. It's manslaughter at worst. And yes, domesticated cats with outdoor access are part of the regular biosphere both in cities and in rural areas in Europe and Asia.

I like straw men, unfounded assumptions about OP, and hyperbole. - you

Downvote. Reasons:

  1. This is clearly fake news by the LAME STREAM fake news media to damage glorious leader the President's fantastic work to MAGA.

  2. By allowing other users to see this news they start holding the concept of a new variant that is spreading fast in their head and therefore they manifest it. If enough people manifest it, it becomes true (even though it is clearly not, see above).

  3. Even though it is not real, COVID is also just a Chinese hoax that is just a flu so any reporting on it is spreading Chinese propaganda and therefore TREASON (and we downvote treason).

Banning export means everyone would charge import price -0.01$ per unit for their oil products, same as it is now. At least until storage is filled which will take a good bit of time (US strategic oil reserves are basically empty). The US gas prices aren't high because there is no gas in the US, there is just more profit in selling it overseas.

"Underspace" auf Steam ist ein sehr ähnliches Spiel vom Feeling her. Es gibt zwar Aliens und mehr übernatürliche Elemente im Weltraum, aber man wird tatsächlich als "Stormchaser Alpha 1-1" angefunkt und 99% des Spiels sind genau wie in Freelancer auch mit Trader Landes zwischen Planeten herumfliegen.

Ist early access und nur ein einzelner Developer, also ist die Entwicklung ein bisschen langsam, aber seine Dev Blogs haben immerhin Katzenbilder?

Für 17 Euros kriegt man jetzt schon mindestens 30h Spiel wenn man nur die Story durchzieht und zwischen durch hier und da sein Schiff ein bisschen upgradet.

There is a not insignificant (at least by noise level) portion of the Iranian Diaspora that want the US to invade specifically to install Reza Pahlavi as King. I know because they are harassing my wife on social media when she posts her position which is as you described. You are right in that the majority don't want a war like this, but Royalists specifically (including the prince of nothing himself ) seem to actually believe that this would be a good thing.

You only have to look at what happened around Huda Beauty, when their Iraqi owner said the same thing you are saying.

My gaming friend group is 8 or 9 people. When you want to hang out digitally, you just jump in our discord and see who is currently playing. You jump in the channel, join the conversation. If the others are currently in a match that can't be hot joined, someone will put on a stream for you, so you can watch and have an easier time joining the conversation.

Sometimes a friend is playing a game that you don't own or they want to show you. Easily done with a stream. Streaming on Discord is very useful to us.

We use the webcam feature for our Tabletop Roleplaying Sessions.

One "feature" that Discord has that will be missed by our small community: Being able to see who is in a voice call without having to join it.

We have spent the last week exploring alternatives and it looks like we will be using a combination of self hosted matrix and mumble unless self hosted stoat gets voice very soon.

It opens the door for arbitrary enforcement. In the theoretical world where these guys may have to justify themselves in a court of law, they can say "he was in the domestic terrorist database, so we were justified in pinning him down with 5 guys while another guy shot him in the back after disarming him."

Russia buys Iranian Shahed drones to bomb Ukraine. India and China buy Iranian gas for cheap (because it's sanctioned everywhere else).

Those would be the major players upset at Iran getting hit.

It also depends on the nature of the strikes. Targeted eliminations are probably not gonna draw much if any condemnation. Large-scale bombing for a sustained duration would be another matter.

Not familiar with the specific law in question, but for a lot of laws intent and knowledge at the time of crime matter. Eg the difference between manslaughter and murder is a difference in attitude.

I could plausibly see that in this case there is not enough evidence to determine what the mind set was, while the physical action still undoubtedly took place.

Eg in Germany showing the Nazi salute or displaying a swastika are illegal, except for artistic or educational purposes. A case could be constructed in which a defendants intent when showing either the gesture or the symbol could not be clearly deduced. This not enough evidence exists wether a crime was committed, even though the physical action that would constitute the crime undoubtedly happened.

Could be a similar thing is at play here.
