Official Israeli Persian account pushing a conspiracy theory that civilian casualties in Iran are being faked: straight from the Gaza playbook.

Slot manages games confusingly, to me, but also to the team. It's a feeling of neither stick nor twist. He doesn't like the quarterback game he thinks it's low % football and seems to prefer the two passes forward, one sideways, backwards, forwards.
It's overly safe.

A long time ago, when I was still going to school, I often thought about some class or other: "What's the point of this? I'm just wasting time on stuff I won't ever need. And my grades are going down because of it." So I supported all these bright ideas like having schools work the curriculum out with the industry.
Nowadays, I know better. The purpose of school is not to produce ready-made employees. It's to give people a wider perspective. Perhaps they won't use most of what they learn there, perhaps they'll have bad memories of some classes, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that you learn how to learn, how to reason, how to think.
I hate what's been happening to schools lately. They are becoming conveyor belts: we throw children on them, throw specific knowledge at them and see what sticks, we do exams and classify them. We expect to get a thoughtless laborer at the end, someone ready to take a specific job immediately.
A human whose only purpose in life is mindless labor and mindless consumption. Metaphorically, someone who's just going to spend their time off by drinking beer in the front of the TV and breeding more babies. Babies who will eventually become more cogs in the machine, fueling the infinite growth, trying to prevent this mindless system from falling apart.

The rules of abstention (khatha kamma; ข้อห้ามศิษย์ยันต์) for sak yant tattoos vary depending on the master. Each lineage may prescribe slightly different codes of conduct, which are considered essential to preserve the power of the yant. The following are the rules traditionally taught at Wat Bang Phra:
• Do not eat star fruit, pumpkin, or other gourd-like vegetables.
• Do not become romantically involved with someone who is already married.
• Never insult or slander anyone’…

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet.
It infected 3.5 million people in 1986.
Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page
