The Iran war is a "win" for USA because it weakens Iran and should induce them to agree to binding deal to never get to nuclear weapons. If so, it will pacify Mideast. It also opens up possibility of regime collapse but only possibility, not likely.

Correct assessment. Militarily and economically, Iran has been hugely weakened. With or without a deal, that makes Iran less of a threat. Iran's fanatical regime has IRGC and a Shia extremist base; regime change only possible with armed forces on the ground. Arm Iranians?

None of us really know but imo you are fundamentally misunderstanding the "timeline" stuff they've introduced. Remake and og are canonically going to be virtually the same. They only introduced this element for two reasons. Fan service to see more Zack and to bridge to Aerith and Zack being able to talk to Cloud in Advent Children. The "fate" aspect is just Jenova and the Planet's wills battling over the future. Within universe they establish two themes. One is that the future is unwritten which in all fairness leaves the door open to changes to canon. Keep in mind that looking at it that way is breaking the 3rd wall as if the game is speaking to og players. This is dialog happening in-universe and assuming it is comparing between an alternate canon to me seems like a stretch. It is more likely meant to be interpreted in universe which means nothing. All the talk of fate and future is just Jenova/Planet trying to control outcomes. The other theme is that you can't change anything. Wedge survives only to die anyway. Zack has a 3 way timeline split within his dreamscape and the outcomes are all canon outcomes. He can't save Biggs or Aerith because they canononically die. In the other player controlled cutscene with Cloud and Aerith at the end of Rebirth the player gets to make 1 of 3 choices 3 separate times. In each instance the game always serves you a 4th choice no matter what you choose. To me this is a clue that while the future is yet to be told you still can't change any outcomes. Via either Cetra or lifestream magic there exist dreamscapes allowing the dead to continue to interact with the party. No alternate universes. The alt timeline appearance is just there to pacify the psychy of those like Zack that aren't aware they are dead yet. In the caption you posted occams razor would just be that it is referencing Cloud being delusional about his own identity and memories.

The striking off of the Sibanyoni case was a calculated move orchestrated from the highest office. Fearing for his own safety and that of his family, the prosecutor became expendable. His suspension is nothing more than a smokescreen designed to pacify gullible citizens.

I have had a few thoughts on this issue. Some ive already said, in previous posts. And I'd like people's thoughts on my take. I agree in part with the government, in that children need to be protected online. As they should be protected in any situation. What i do not agree with is the level or method. I have an autistic nephew, who whilst in school found a calling in cartoon drawing and animation. He found YouTube a source of inspiration. With kurzesagt being his main inspiration. And he built from that style into something of his own, self learning years before college and uni. Now he is a content creator. If he was reaching that early point now he wouldn't have that access and he would not be able to grow into what and who he is now. He has a small following, but is now part of a community that supports him via YT and discord. I feel that the method to which the government are attacking this issue, isnt right. When it comes to YT I have a few other ideas that maybe could work better and correct me if these ideas are already a thing: - have a parent account, that is directly linked to child account. The parent account authorises/screens any incoming messages or content. The parent also has overarching authority on what content is sent out and what is being watched. An alert system, that if a certain subject or tag is watched it notifies the parent account. - a parent set screen time hard limit, that only the parent can authorise further time. - black and white list themes, channels and tags. -maybe a similar age rating for content like the uk's film rating system or PEGI for gaming. With X. Yes this should be further restricted, similar to the above but further. Instagram and tiktok, similar still. But parenting should be the main control outside of all this. I have seen time and time again parents hand devices to their children to pacify them at an early age. For me, social media access should be a reward or as a source of education. Parents should have more time with their children, whether during play or education and bonding. They should be balanced between play outside and indoors....not just "here's a phone, crack on and entertain yourself" Passive parenting is part of the issue. Whilst our government amongst others as well as the organisations that run this media sources, do not handle those that break the rules firmly enough. Too often predators or hateful, violent or even pornographic creators are not deplatformed but boosted, even when in breach of the rules. And those who break the law, dont seem to get the hard treatment they deserve. It feels like the UK government wants to eliminate the victim rather then tackling the source. x.com/GBNEWS/status/20664236…

I'm not going to tie myself to the train tracks if they fire Vitello, I just think that's a move to pacify fans and it wouldn't really do anything to solve the real issues.

That line of thinking works fine to pacify TTU fans. Meanwhile, TTU is burning through good will with the Big12 and is damaging their national image in the process. Sorsby is not worth it.

They are unarmed in a police state with a large army it routinely uses to pacify its outer regions. The only organized resistance were killed during the 12 Day War. Then the moderates got sidelined when you surprise murdered the religious leader's family during negotiations.

In my native tongue, we have an ancient proverb, that goes like this: "গরু মেরে জুতা দান" or "We kill your cow, but then give you a leather shoe as a gift" It's supposed to cause a major grievance, then trying to pacify the victim with a small token gift

You’re a pathetic and weak retard with a fragile ego and pathological need for belonging who uses hate to pacify your needs and feel empowered. Denying Jews the right of self defense is an illness. People don’t do this, animals do. nypost.com/2023/10/07/horrif…

This is just to pacify the hearts of the victims who already got the news that almost 8OO Boko Haram now repentant have been rehabilitated back into the society. We know this might not even be true

We live in an age where official product accounts have to pacify fragile white supremacists who don't understand how search engines work. Is this woke 3.0?
Replying to @KatieMiller
We agree the results should be better here. This is a persistent technical challenge for all search engines (you can see similar results if you try this query on others), because search engines reflect how things on the web are labeled. We’re continuing to work on improving results for these types of searches.

Trump's White House UFC fights is reminiscent of how the Roman Emperors organized arena fights primarily to maintain political control,pacify the masses,and project imperial power.

When we pacify the rest of the world we should curate Africa as a proving ground for would be adventurous youth. We must never lose our edge again.

You are in the "turn to nationalism to pacify proletariat" part
something the left needs to sincerely grapple with is that the vast majority of workers in this country identify as american before anything else. i personally think it’s in our best interest to channel a positive vision for this country
