Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
 

We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, ​attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto ​closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.

We express our ⁠deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately ​its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block ​the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817.

Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of ​the Sea.

The effects of Iran’s actions will be felt by people in all ​parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable.

Consistent with UNSC Resolution 2817, we emphasise that such ‌interference with ⁠international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations.

We express our readiness to ​contribute to appropriate ​efforts to ensure safe ⁠passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning.

We welcome the International Energy Agency ​decision to authorise a coordinated release of strategic petroleum reserves. ​We will ⁠take other steps to stabilise energy markets, including working with certain producing nations to increase output.

We will also work to provide support for the most affected nations, including through ⁠the United ​Nations and the IFIs (International Financial Institutions).

Maritime security and ​freedom of navigation benefit all countries. We call on all states to respect international law and uphold the ​fundamental principles of international prosperity and security.

How so? I mean obviously the mormons are very wrong. Very very wrong. But I don't get the joke excuse my slowness.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That north America was colonized by Israel(ites)

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Do the mormons think that? Ha ha, they are really fucked in the head. Don't tell them I said that.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah they think Jesus came to America and native Americans are Israelites. The book of Mormon is wild

I kind of like that they think Quetzacotl was a reincarnation of jesus, like obviously that's not the case, but quetzacotl is a really cool legend. The fethered serpent, he and his pals showed up after the great flood in south america, he wielded lightning as I heard it, and forbade human sacrifice and they built all sorts of shit, as I heard it. Way after he was gone, there was a sort of civil war and the human sacrifice dickheads won out.

Now that might not be the most reliable information, it is from fingerprints of the gods, graham hancock, people hate him with a passion, idk the legends he collated, I would like to see the source material. The book also talked about legends of dwarves moving huge rocks with flutes, where the old world had similar legends. Which I found intriguing because Tesla's ideas about everything having a frequency it can vibrate at.
