    When you’re so hard for the theocratic oligarchy that you shut down the ability of dissent to spread on the internet outside of your own country

      But now they can’t watch porn. Like every time allied troops found a computer of one of these islamic extremists groups in the Middle East it’s usually chock full of porn.

        And games. There’s a non-zero chance that someone teabagged Osama bin laden in counter strike.

          Nothing. Except they are Muslim extremists who say that porn and masturbation is forbidden. So they are hypocrites who just want to oppress people. Plus their views on women are fucked they would definitely murder a female relative if she made porn, yet they are addicted to it.

          They also don’t just watch normal porn, like troops found cp and bestiality on those recovered computers.

    It really seems like the easiest solution to this is to stop the genocide guys.

        I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt since this was a tech article and they didn’t bother to report on why Houthi’s are carrying a campaign in the Red Sea. It’s Palestine, they are disrupting Western interests for their continued support of Isreal as it kills off the native Arab population.

          well they claim to only be targeting israeli ships, not “the west”, and that they didn’t attack the cable at all…
          but, gotcha… the palestinian one…
          should this current one be considered a new genocide? or a ramping up of the continuous one?

            Isreal, American and British ships.

            Isreal only ever pauses it. The oppression and subjugation of the Palestinian people doesn’t stop by design, in order to breed opposition to justify resuming.

        I mean hopefully both. The Yemeni genocide is also pretty bad so if we could do something about that it’d be nice staring at SA and the US.

        You blame entire ethnicities for what’s going on and not the capitalist class benefiting from the military industrial complex profiting from the subjugation of indigenous people through colonialism?

        That kind of ignorance is exactly how the current shit becomes justified.

    Yemeni Houthi rebels are believed to have damaged undersea data cables in the Red Sea that link Europe to Asia. The Iran-backed Houthis had already threatened to target the fiber optic cables, which carry an estimated 17% of the world’s internet traffic, and it now appears that the group has carried out attacks.

    Damn, pullin out all the stops now.

    You know if they don’t post a vid showing off some shiny new submersible soon, then they probably went about it in the jankiest way possible

    100 meters is pretty deep for scuba diving too…

          Regular bullets fired out of regular firearms basically disintegrate in water. Counter-intuitively, putting more energy into a bullet only worsens the results, making it stop even faster.

          Underwater firearms do exist, but they are not common, and even they have incredibly limited range. As far as I know, none have effective range greatly exceeding 50 meters, let alone 100.

            Whaaat I didn’t know they made those!

            *googles

            Looks like Russia made one during the Cold War for frogmen firefights (<-wild) At a depth of 15 ft, its effective range was 99 ft!! The deeper you go the worse it gets though, and it totally sucks on land too

            Frogmen Firefights

            *edit 99 ft, not 909 :(

              Every source I can find mentions maximum effective range at 15ft to be ~98 feet, not 909. So that zero in the middle is probably a typo, if I had to guess.

      I wonder why you never talk about the Arab Sudanese genocide of black people. Doesn’t fit your narrative?

        You mean the RSF rebel group funded by the UAE? It would be far harder to stop that as they are also getting weapons from Russia.

        Can you perhaps vote Putin out next election?

          It’s harder to stop them yes as they’ve been going on for 30 years and barely any outcry about it

            They’re not nearly making the same amount of civilian casualties a day, let alone this many Children. What israel is doing right now matches the a top Nazi concentration camp in deaths at the peak of the Holocaust.

            And also we don’t support Sudan (with weapons) (unconditionally). So telling Biden to stop that is difficult.
