That's ignoring their point, though. They are simply pointing out that the father in this article is not following the Quran, they're following some other twisted ideology that uses the Quran as an excuse, despite the source material explicitly telling them not to do this type of behavior.

As a side note, I'm not religious, and I do believe that organized religion has been the cause of horrible atrocities. I just think your response isn't really addressing what the other person was debating, but maybe I'm wrong.

For sure, I'm not saying that bugs aren't important to the ecosystem. The way the article was presenting the information, it seemed like they've become much more numerous starting around 2022. To me, that indicates that the ecosystem there is out of balance (unsurprisingly, given that climate change seems to be the catalyst for this).

As a side note, I have a friend who lives in New Orleans. When she was telling us about the annual termite swarms, we were legitimately aghast, lol.

Did you see the pictures in the article? They're blanket everything so thoroughly that the dude was able able to scoop up piles with a shovel. Feels like that is a genuine nuisance, as I can imagine they'd be clogging vents and other things with how intense the swarming is in some areas.

Oh I'm sorry, the Iranian government hasn't violently put down any female civil rights movements there?

Yes, I pointed that out in an earlier response.

Again, you're ignoring that the IAEA's entire purpose is non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. Why deny compliance to third-party inspectors? If their endeavors were truly so innocent, then they had no reason to be uncooperative.

Sorry, I will not feel pity towards the Iranian government. I sympathize for their people, but their government can shove off.

I'm not arguing Israel's or the US's intent to destroy the Iranian government (and, for the record, the Iranian government is definitely shitty, even a notable portion of their population loathes it as well). That Israel--and the current US administration--has been wanting to attack Iran for any reason, even if the reason is dubious, is not in question.

What I'm arguing is that you said this was all to prevent Iran to have nuclear energy, which is untrue since Iran already has that. And it is also undeniable that Iran has not been complying with the IAEA's inspectors since 2019. Why would the IAEA report that Iran is enriching uranium beyond what is needed for energy? Why is Iran not complying with their inspectors?

Those are questions worth asking and seeking the answers to. I do not agree they should be outright attacked over such things, but to pretend like Iran is completely innocent is ridiculous. It's unfortunate that genocidal war criminals are running Israel and a corrupt group of fascists is running the US at the moment, but it is unsurprising that they are not seeking to resolve these issues peacefully.

What? Iran already has a nuclear power plant with a 2nd one beginning construction in 2019 and a 3rd one planned. And the International Atomic Energy Agency had reported that Iran was *not* complying with their inspectors on numerous occasions: https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/06/1164291

So wtf are you talking about?

I'm not saying they have/had nukes, but your story is just completely made up.

The fact they're deferring to AI for targeting despite a significant error margin is horrifying, a fact made even worse considering the collateral damage of other innocent bystanders.

Certainly, but overpopulation in a small area that isn't able to support it is also true.

Something that had practically been eliminated from developed countries... The disinformation wars have gotten beyond out of hand, I can't imagine how bad it'll get before it gets better.

*Be a school music teacher that has a YouTube channel dedicated to help kids learn words, colors, being kind to others, how to speak, etc.

*See an atrocious genocide going on where children are being mass murdered.

*Speak against this horrible violence against innocent children

*Get labeled as a terrorist for defending said children

>And people not being allowed to shake hands and breath in my neck.

Not sure I've ever breathed on someone's neck when shaking their hand. I can't believe I've been failing proper etiquette this whole time, how embarrassing... I'll have to start doing this at work from now on before meetings.

Surprised that California didn't join in, as they're a massive importer/exporter. They probably have almost as much international business as the rest of those states combined.

It is used as a noun in the US, but its use as such is not nearly as common as words like, "initiative," "plan," or, "program," in this context.

Wouldn't the fiber lead directly back to the pilot, though? You'd have to constantly be moving locations, otherwise they could just follow the wire.

Edit: I know, I know, the more I've thought about it--and despite them actually proving it's possible to do as mentioned in the article--it's just not very practical to do in many situations. As one commenter mentioned below, after seeing pictures of some trees, numerous drones create a web among trees/bushes/etc. So tracing lines when drones are launched from multiple locations would be extremely difficult and they could even set up ambushed at certain points if they saw enemy scouts doing it.

Having lived in Tokyo for several years in the 2010s, this sounds absolutely miserable. Osaka is definitely not built for such a high influx of people at once.

That's totally what the US voters were planning on happening when they voted for this dipshit. You're welcome, world, we united you all against us!

Same.
