I can't help but think Bibi let this assassination happen while his major political opponents have the chance to set up a coalition for a ruling government.

It's a pretty cynical move on Bibi's part, but one I have zero doubts about. He'd rather rockets fall on this country than give up power.

That is how much Bibi cares about us.

@Surasanji

You make me wonder...

Does an insect or any other non-human being really comprehend that there are words to be read on a page or screen.

What level of intelligence is required to recognize some other being's abilities, ones "we" lack?

Are we in SETI, even listening to the frequencies which aliens use? (not a new question)

@Algot Higher mammals, some birds, and maybe a couple of reptiles are intelligent enough to recognize patterns. Great Apes of various kinds are, if not wholly sentient, at least semi or near/pre-sentient.

As for Seti, I hav no answer for that. Chances are anyone who could communicate across vast interstellar instances doen't give a hot shit about a type-0 civvy on a crapball planet.

Hey little insect crawling on top of my work monitor. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be outside with the other insects?

... I mean, we both know you're illiterate.

:nes_fire: Important Announcement :nes_fire:

Today we are beginning a nomination for next moderator 🎉

Basically it works like this, any one of you can nominate someone from QOTO. The only restriction is the person you nominate must be active for at least the last month. You can even nominate yourself, but it usually looks better if you can get one or more people to nominate you, symbolically speaking.

The moderators will then select the finalists which if there is more than one person then the community can vote on them.

So for the next 2 weeks I will be taking nominations for the moderator position, and they can discuss their views as a potential moderator. Then we can pick who lines u with QOTO Ideals,

**Want to nominate simeone?**

Follow this link and pst your nomination: discourse.qoto.org/t/nominatio

@Lennart@spinster.xyz I even have pet insurance.

@Lennart@spinster.xyz oh yeah, she's up on shots and doctor's visits and deworming. I keep her inside.

@Lennart@spinster.xyz Well, she's using the bathroom, I cleaned the box this morning and it's got signs of use now. So, at least that isn't a worry.

Maybe she's just feeling like she needs more attention.

@Lennart@spinster.xyz She's usually pretty chatty, but I'm really wondering if she's okay or just being silly.

My cat is awful chatty this evening, and I'm not sure why.
