    • Trump White House Considers Dropping Nukes on Iran

  • It's nothing compared to, say, what the US did to Laos, but yes there are thousands of tons of unexploded ordinance in there and will take at least a decade to clean up.

    • Netanyahu is using Muslim women’s ‘rights’ to justify his war. What hideous, hollow hypocrisy

    Jump

  • This is like being in 2001 all over again. "Iraq Iran has Weapons of mass destruction nuclear weapons and we need to save its women".

    Saving women by bombing them to death.

    The basic bitch version of fascism.

    • Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club?

    Jump

  • Great find! There are various members of Dolomedes in other countries. Some specialise in rivers, other lakes.

  • They are in many countries. But they are not scary.

    Also yes I will sleep tight, knowing these adorable and accomplished spiders are out there living their best lives.

    • Donald Trump is the first president in 116 years to not be invited to the NAACP convention

  • The standard in the US seems to be "People Of Color" is fine and "colored people" is a slur.

    The NAACP retains its name for historic reasons.

    • Who the hell can afford a printer

    Jump

  • This. The one time I bought a printer for home use it turned out to be possessed by evil spirits or something.

    By contrast the enormous printer at work is a perfect angel and if it ever plays up, that's between it and its servicers.

    Jump

  • Fortunately for me, I am not in your country to begin with.

    But yes, having studied history I would always seek safety for my family from emerging totalitarian regimes.

    It is more effective to fight totalitarianism when you are not physically under their control. An Allied soldier was more effective at fighting Nazis than an Auschwitz inmate.

  • Parents have a particular attachment to the safety of their own children.

    That's not a political statement, it's just the reality of human nature. It's also usually seen as ethical.
