Their statement would have been fine if they left the god and religion part out of it..

*The following statement was released, “In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful. With the help of God Almighty, our air defenses were able to shoot down an American MQ9 aircraft. The aircraft was conducting hostile, monitoring, and spying activities within Yemeni territorial waters. These activities were carried out within the framework of American military support for the Israeli entity.

The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their legitimate right to defend the country and confront all hostile threats with the appropriate weapons, with God’s help. Yemen’s armed forces vow to continue military operations against Israel to support Palestine.” *

Also, here's a backstory to the Houthis in short: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/who-are-yemens-houthis-why-did-they-attack-israel-2023-11-01/

I'm all for the Palestinian cause, but I don't like the Houthis' slogan. Or they should get a better PR firm.

Yes, those work very well. But after a month or two, they always came back. So this time I used the trap for weeks, in the meantime using specific agents to clean and I've noticed they die faster.

I don't know, maybe they're attracted to the vinegar afterwards when used for cleaning? That's my only guess. It's weird, but I'll see the results in a few months.

I've been cleaning with vinegar and dish soap for a year (mostly for my cats) and the last few weeks I've decided to ditch it.

I'm a clean freak and have never had so much trouble keeping spiders, fruitflies and insects out of the house. I'm back to buying specific cleaners for specific things and my god does it make a difference. Never again.

Me. I never even attempted to quit smoking. I know it kills. And I want to be left alone and not harassed by other people as if they're saving my life or something.

It is my choice.

Sorry but it's a witch hunt at this point. And don't get me started about drunk people wanting to grope me every time I go out.

Where I live, every workplace has a designated area where you can smoke. Indoor smoking is forbidden.

The drinking age here is 16, so is buying tobacco. There really aren't that many smokers anymore. Most kids vape or smoke pot.

Also if your friend has asthma, I don't know, stay away from smoking people you see? It can't be that hard.

Also, I started smoking because I was bored. Now I keep smoking because I want to. I've actively stopped kids in my family from starting with it, so I'm not trying to say smoking is ok. Just leave us be.

Thanks that's insightful.

Belgium's VRT. I've seen other countries' outlets starting to do it too.

Also, biden's biggest problems right now are that more black and Latino voters are moving to the republican side. The polling today was really worrying.

The only thing those voters ask from Biden is to represent them too in this conflict. He doesn't, so putting the blame on them if he loses the elections, is not fair.

Also he made it clear he doesn't care about their voices, so all he has to do is replace those votes with Jewish voters I guess? Muslims and Jews make up 1% each of the entire US population (census 2020), so it'll straighten itself out.

You forgot violent hate speech from both sides. Jewish children are indoctrinated to hate the Palestinians too.

It always starts with abortion rights, every time they want to control women and ban LBGTQ+. Poland is known for wanting to keep the 'traditional family unit' as it is and cracking down on everyone that's different.

Next is to take away their financial independence with the 'stay home and take care of the children' fase. So no way out.

Then comes the 'I'm the man of the house, so you do as I say or I'll report you to the authorities' fase. Lots of marital rapes and domestic violence in this fase...

Then it's the marrying out your 14 year old daughter's to your friends to get any sort of power... Sorry I'm describing handmaid's tale at this point. Or any fascists state...

But I heard with the latest elections young Polish people might turn things around.

There are. In the first week of the attacks, the Israel Times had a blog post about Act 2 of the war. Here's the blog post: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/our-role-in-act-2-of-the-war/

My country's news outlet even has a section that informs us about the disinformation campaigns going on on both sides and addressing/correcting what's probably the truth.

Edit: they're on Lemmy too.
