@PanasonicDX4500@politburito Yeah good point about that, avoiding it is currently a more reliable marker of good orgs because nobody has really managed to attract big donors and not be co-opted but at some point it's just a skill that needs to be learned
@JamesEisen1891 No, they forced Britain to the table because of their bombing campaign in the UK, which caused billions of pounds worth of damage and absolutely qualifies as a strategic victory given its role in Good Friday.
@0xcoked If Iran is actually preserving peace and preventing attrition by coming down hard on enemy greyzone warfare it definitely matches my takeaways about violence and quick reactions to these attempts
@emilunar13@virrals@dankdreams18 The British govt is absolutely psychotic about knives it's like their Assault Weapons Ban. Recommend your British friends some blinding dye spray that's legal for self defense there.
@attila_honeypie@virrals Bad idea, they're not formulated to have the range or effect real self defense sprays have. There are options that are legal in the UK
@Goonbr3on@virrals Knives are terrible options yeah, the legal suspicion still applies to other weaponizable objects like large flashlights but at least those have more reach and and might not be as attractive to an attacker to use against you
@YunoPWR_@loaithjt@virrals Blinding spray is at the very least UK legal and most places probably don't commonly regulate things that don't contain harmful chemicals like pepper spray, but IDK
@loaithjt@YunoPWR_@virrals Specifically a Ruger RXM, Glock 19 MOS, or PSA Dagger pistol and if you can afford the cost and training time an AR-15 rifle from a quality manufacturer as well https://t.co/JvZ4TjP2Cz
