Yes and no.

Arab cultural signals for being a strong, competent, trustworthy man include reacting like a completely unhinged r-slur to the slightest provocation and considering anything that makes another Arab or Islam look bad as a grave personal insult.

One of the biggest issues with the Middle East is that not even other Arabs can consistently tell when an Arab man is just virtue signaling or actually a completely unhinged r-slur.

>Israel's Iron Dome air defense system could be overwhelmed, especially in northern Israel

Well then they should have gone with the Iron Sphere air defense system instead, for complete protection.

If they're really worried, would anyone even notice if they nuked Lebanon?

Lebanon has like 30% Christian and Iran direct support. Starting that war can get very ugly fast

Is Iran's military on par with Israel's? I kinda figured their military power was made up of cold war era USSR surplus.

Iran have decent drones and rockets technology. Those things now ensure that Israel can't win without US involvement. In 2006 Israel already tried to destroy Hazbollah and kinda failed and back then they ware a lot stronger than Hazbollah in comparison to today. It's legit just seems like Israel has no plans and just goes with the momentum.

Or they just assume they can pick fights with whoever and run to the US when they fight back.

(Not that I think their issues w/ the Muslim world around them are unfounded tbh.)

Is the Iron Sphere for protection against subterranean missile attacks?

Yes. Hezbollah borrowed some tunnels from Hamas and are using them to attack Israel from underneath.

How is this news? This has been understood and factored into decision making literally forever.

Yep, there are literally tiered triage protocols for what things don't get defended at different levels of saturation bombardment. That's just basic missile defense.

Lack of LGBT clarity is hurting g*mers

Being a badass heckin Marvel hero is hard work.

As a queer person who's been gaming pretty much all her life, it's blatantly obvious to me just how scarce the kind of representation I want, perhaps need, is in video games.

Heres why that's problematic:

For the longest time, cisgender men have dominated the video game industry and have continued to be mistaken as the face of the entire gaming culture. This diversity problem not only prevents women g*mers from gaining visibility, but it also hampers the development of a safe and inclusive environment for other minorities in the gaming space, namely the LGBTQ+ community.

So why is it, that an "allegedly" progressive company like Marvel, who keeps shouting they're supportive of LGBT rights keeps us in COMPLETE DARKNESS when it comes to OUR REPRESENTATION? are there ANY LGBT characters to choose from? or are we left to wonder, ponder that we might be left out once again?

Why is there ZERO mention of the LGBTQIA+++ community during LITERAL pride month? HELLO MARVEL??????????

Will i be FORCED once more to play as a WHITE CIS male? why can't i be the badass g*mer i want to be with my OWN complex gender heckin expression ???

Solutions:

Show your COLOURS !! make a public announcement that you're PROUD to support the LGBTQA++ community in this game, because right now?

It's not enough.

G*mers are watching

Game on.
