From what I understand he's standing up to Israeli aggression, is that being misrepresented in the news?

The summary provided in the writeup explains the (deeply dementia-addled) reasoning here:

Trump had a hand in ceasefires that have recently eased conflicts between Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, and Armenia and Azerbaijan. But these were mostly incremental accords without a strong likelihood of long-term peace. Some leaders dispute the extent of Trump’s role.

The U.S. was involved in a temporary peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, but violence in the region has continued, with hundreds of civilians killed since the deal’s June signing. After Trump helped broker a deal between Cambodia and Thailand, the countries have accused each other of ceasefire violations that have led to violent skirmishes.

A long-running standoff between Egypt and Ethiopia over an Ethiopian dam on the Nile remains unresolved. In the case of Kosovo and Serbia, there is little evidence a potential war was brewing.

Why? Not disagreeing, just curious if there's something to base this off of. It's a whole lot of phones, but old phones are still perfectly functional and cheap as dirt in bulk. You can get 100-phone management racks off alibaba for not too much, so while this setup would be damned large, it's for sure not impossible to set up for a dedicated enough actor.

And that said it'd be a pain in the ass. Could you replicate the functionality with a broadband radio and a server, maybe?

Man, some people will do anything rather than accept that their behavior can have justified social consequences.

Did you not just use tab? That's the usual method of dealing with weird characters in filenames that I've found

This is an extremely famous phenomenon in ballistics, popularized by the JFK assasination. Penn and Teller even did a breakdown of why this happens at one point. It's pretty interesting to look into!

On US ones as well, I think they just put the relevant key-symbols and excluded the combination press as they can be assumed.

I loathe quote-replies, but like the saint says...:

Again, you’re just assuming bad intention.

Nnnnno... no I'm not assuming anything about your intention, just your message. You've apparently conflated "you've said this transphobic thing" with "you must be a transphobe". To be honest I think you're probably well meaning, you just show a real lack of social skills and you treat criticism as an attack on you personally. To be clear, I don't actually care what your intention is in saying transphobic things, only that you've said them. That's been the explicit thesis of every one of my responses.


So I guess I must do the same with you? What if my question is legitimate? How can you know I’m just trying to piss of people? You’re just persuading people that I’m acting in bad faith, and I’m not.

In order:

  • You're welcome to do that.
  • The legitimacy of your curiosity has never been in question.
  • How can I know you're not?
  • If I thought you were acting in bad faith I wouldn't have spent this long explaining the situation to you.

Still can’t see any quote. What exactly is transphobic?

I don't actually know how to make this more explicit, I'm going to be uncharitable and assume this was just you being truculent (since you go on to respond to the quote in question, this too seems like a fairly safe assumption)


Then, can you really blame me for calling this out because I believe it’s not transphobic and you’re just censoring people and bullshitting?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here (sorry)


So believing a person is homosexual if they like trans people with the opposite gender but same sex is transphobic?

Yes. It inherently implies that biological sex is their (in this case literal) defining feature, disregarding their gender - which is the much more important aspect of a person in every situation except medicine. It's the exact same rhetoric being used by transphobes the world over to justify all their horrendous oppression.

Discrimination being "The ability or power to see or make fine distinctions", your categorization of people based on the fine distinction of the interrelation of their gender expression and sex is very literal discrimination - and by your definition, that's transphobia.


Please stop trying to make this about me characterizing you as anything but a rude person that has having difficulty accepting that even well-intentioned people can hold transphobic views, and that bringing said views into a space regardless of intentions is bringing transphobia into a space where it's wildly and explicitly unwelcome. I don't care about you enough to be doing anything more than that.
