Alcoholism and age

I'd definitely drink vagina beer, I just want a higher-quality woman. Give me, like, Natasha Lyonne vagbeer. I bet that's fucking delectable.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T23:59:35+00:00

Ummm.... obviously not.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T23:58:03+00:00

There's not going to be any such thing as an incel rebellion, man. 99.99% of incels just jerk off in their bedroom at their parents' house and fantasize about violence. The other 0.01% run out and shoot some random people, get shot to death, and nothing changes.

Incels aren't an organized group, and they aren't a group of people who are experienced and mentally healthy enough to actually effectuate any kind of change.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T18:34:19+00:00

Yes, right now neural networks are being trained for single purposes, like "learn how to converse better" or "learn how to draw better" or "learn how to play chess better."

A general-purpose AI is not particularly desirable since it would both A) waste resources; and B) be potentially dangerous.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T18:30:35+00:00

AI and the singularity are two different concepts.

AI is just a series of algorithms that allow code to simulate the neural network of a brain, leading to more generative and creative responses than used to be possible. It's a very useful tool, but it's not "coming for anyone," except, of course, that it will make certain jobs obsolete.

The singularity is the idea that at some point, a piece of software may be built that can learn how to improve itself. And then the improved version of itself would improve itself even more. And it would get geometrically smarter and better. The rate at which it advanced would become geometric. We'd go to bed one night and by the next morning, there would be an artificial consciousness that knew everything and could do virtually anything.

What would that consciousness do? We have no idea. Maybe it would decide to cure all disease and solve all social problems. Maybe it would decide to kill us all. Maybe it would just quietly watch us. It's totally unpredictable.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T18:25:12+00:00

A lot of the stuff in Genesis uses the names of men to represent tribes.

Like, when Esau sold his birthright to Jacob in exchange for some lentils - we're obviously not talking about two people. We're talking about two tribes. Something that has to do with famine relief.

When Noah says "Cursed be Canaan" - the child Canaan, who's done nothing wrong at all in the story, is obviously an allegory for the Canaanite civilization.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T18:24:01+00:00

You mean it's unacceptable to you? It's hard for me to see why. It's not unacceptable in any way to me.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T18:23:24+00:00

Oh, I see. So you don't feel like you fit in anywhere - not with the normies who have a little sex sometimes, and not with the totally touchless "truecels" who have never had a hug or held someone's hand.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T06:46:31+00:00

It started more than 20 years ago. Fox was miles above all other sources in ratings and all the other sources got together and began relentlessly mocking and bullying Fox News.

I don't agree with nearly any limits on journalistic freedom here, but let's be realistic. Fox News wasn't targeted because it had "good ratings." It was targeted because it was a blatant cheerleader for the Iraq War and didn't have two shits to give about whether the things it was reporting were even accurate, let alone told the entire story.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T00:58:43+00:00

So make one. Coding isn't very hard, and you're not retarded.

Hematomato · 2023-11-09T00:57:22+00:00

There is no point of life. Not for an average male, not for an exceptional male. Not for an average female, not for an exceptional female. Life does not come packaged with a point.

Personally, I enjoy doing drugs and playing the piano.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T23:38:20+00:00

My sister's boyfriend died of cardiac arrest during tennis practice. He was 17. It was 1995.

R.I.P., Keith.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T21:29:33+00:00

If it's about nowhere to shit, why did you and I not shit in the streets when we were in SF?

Well obviously there are plenty of places to shit if you have money. Just pop into any bar or restaurant, buy a beer, take a dump, and then either drink the beer or don't.

If you don't have money, you pretty much have one option. The sidewalk.

Like I said, if you're talking about "teaching the behaviors required to live in less squalid conditions," well, you're putting the cart before the horse. It doesn't do anyone any good to be "taught" to use a toilet if they can't find a toilet.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T21:26:30+00:00

They know full well that the 2024 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act doesn't have a bat's chance in Hell of passing the Senate, let alone being signed into law, so now they've decided to clutter it up with whatever dumbfuckery they think could grab a headline or two.

...our tax dollars at work.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T21:23:01+00:00

Why are you asking us? If someone told me "name a truecel on Saidit," I'd say u/winkot. Seems like this is a question for... you.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T21:17:22+00:00

I mean, it's obviously edited. Someone intercut parts of two of his videos in order to make a point.

As for whether it's edited honestly or deceptively, I don't care enough to do the homework to find out.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T21:09:39+00:00

The way I see it, you can train a dog not to shit in the house, and you can scold a dog for shitting in the house. But if you leave your dog locked in the house for 48 hours while you go camping, and you come back and there's shit in your house, there's no point in yelling "GODDAMN IT OSCAR YOU SHAT IN THE HOUSE." What, did you think you bought one of those non-shitting dogs?

You're absolutely right: not shitting in front of other people is a basic social norm. Not only that, it's probably instinctive. It didn't break down because people just woke up one day and said "to Hell with social norms." It broke down because there was nowhere to shit.

And we're not going to solve it by going "GODDAMN IT OSCAR YOU SHAT ON THE SIDEWALK." You can take Oscar to jail forty times; you can tase him and beat him with a billy club; in the end, nothing will do any good until Oscar has access to a fucking toilet.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T20:55:43+00:00

Go there and tell me how wonderful it is.

I've been there at least 50 times. I wouldn't call it a paradise, but I've never felt any particular degree of fear there. And there's plenty of fun stuff to do - concerts, museums, restaurants, whatever you're into.

Sure, they have a homeless issue. A lot of cities do, but most of them force their homeless out somewhere to the outskirts of town. In my own town, our encampment is behind the freeway and only really visible to people who travel by train. It's huge, though.

San Francisco, well, it doesn't really have an "outskirts." It's boxed in by water and the whole area is heavily developed. There's nowhere to hide the homeless.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T20:51:40+00:00

Honestly, not only is it not obvious to me, it's so non-obvious that I can't even guess at what you're talking about.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T20:46:48+00:00

Yeah, I think it's probably true that there's more public shitting in SF than in any other city in the country. I've got friends living there, and they've all reported that.

In my view, problems like that are entirely structural. San Francisco is a fully-walkable, barely-drivable city where none of the businesses provide public bathrooms. When you've got to go, and you're two miles from home (assuming you have one), and there's absolutely nowhere to go but the sidewalk... you go on the sidewalk.

And it's up to them to find a solution to that. Whether that's taxpayer-funded toilets, or a requirement that private businesses maintain a public toilet, or tax breaks for private businesses to maintain public toilets, or... whatever.

You talk about faith and spirituality and degradation and evolution and dignity... and really, the conversation just needs to be about toilets.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T17:27:02+00:00

At this particular historical moment, AI is only good for me. I'm the guy who's put in his thousand hours understanding the quirks of LLMs and text-to-image. I'm the guy who helps the company implement AI.

So I'm totally secure. But, yeah, in the future, AI is going to eliminate millions of white-collar jobs. And that is a good thing.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T16:28:32+00:00

Quite the opposite. If Robin Gan said "I just kissed a girl and it was so good," I'd be like: Well, good for you, Robin Gan. You obviously needed that.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T16:23:22+00:00

Ummmmm.... of course not.

He's a little bit obnoxious, I guess, but most people are a little bit obnoxious.

I honestly have no idea why anyone would want to torture him.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T16:20:27+00:00

Well, sort of, I guess.

Have you noticed it's kind of two Republican parties right now? After 2014, Church Republicans mostly made the decision to just withdraw from the Internet and stop watching movies and television. They voluntarily became invisible. There's still a lot of them out there, apparently, but I never see them.

Church Republicans are hell-bent on banning abortion. Internet Republicans seem to have moved on entirely. They're a lot more interested in issues like corruption and censorship.

Donald Trump is an Internet Republican. He's given a few mealy-mouthed "I don't like abortion" statements, but we all know he doesn't really give a shit, and that he's almost certainly paid for a few of them in his day.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T16:16:54+00:00

Statistically, San Francisco is the 37th most violent city in the United States.

Which is high, but also behind Dallas, Oklahoma City, KCMO, Wichita, Cincinatti, Tulsa, Nashville, Indianapolis, and Memphis.

"The dude saw a violent crime" is not somehow "proof" that San Francisco is a hellhole. A lot of people have seen a violent crime. I know I have. I wasn't in San Francisco, either.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T16:11:04+00:00

If you need to be senile to have a temporary memory lapse that leads to a verbal fuckup, then, I'm, like, fifty thousand years old.

Hematomato · 2023-11-08T16:09:17+00:00

Sure, they make the first definition "an adult female person" and then leave plenty of wiggle room by adding "distinctly feminine nature."

Of course, one is inspired to ask the question: who put the Merriam-Webster company, which is privately owned by a Swiss-Syrian-Lebanese-Jewish billionaire named Jacqui Safra, in charge of the English language?

Seems like it's our language as much as it is his. Maybe more, given that my first language is English and his is presumably Swiss German.

Hematomato · 2023-11-07T23:36:41+00:00

Oh, wow, so any written statement declaring intent, now. So a text saying "Going to the store, gonna get milk" qualifies as a manifesto :/

Hematomato · 2023-11-07T20:42:18+00:00

So you're using, what, a VPN, or Tor, or some identity-masking browser?

Hematomato · 2023-11-07T20:39:46+00:00

A manifesto used to mean "radical new ideas that shall be made manifest through the inevitable course of history."

Now it's been reduced to "dear diary, gonna kill bobby after 3rd period, kbye."

Well, okay. I mean, I'm not in charge of semantics. The old definition was more aesthetically pleasing, though.

Hematomato · 2023-11-07T20:37:42+00:00

I don't see any evidence in her writings that there isn't anything she doesn't hate. She hates whites, she hates gays, she hates the rich, she most likely hates herself...

...that's not a political orientation. That's just extreme depression. And when you couple extreme depression with a profound sense of humiliation, sometimes people explode.

Hematomato · 2023-11-07T16:56:12+00:00

I would have zero interest in fucking a virgin. That's like hiring a handyman who's never used a screwdriver.

Hematomato · 2023-11-07T16:55:06+00:00

So your contention is that she was motivated by leftist politics, based on a "poem" where she spews homophobic slurs?

Come on, now.

Hematomato · 2023-11-07T15:29:58+00:00

Did you ever go look at the links I posted, to the archived Instagram and the Twitter controversy?

They prove pretty much beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was right.

Hematomato · 2023-11-06T23:56:15+00:00

IQ doesn't measure anything resembling our cultural concept of "smartness."

Hematomato · 2023-11-06T23:52:35+00:00

Everywhere else in the world they are hated

Spoken like someone who's never been more than ten miles from home.

Hematomato · 2023-11-06T23:27:48+00:00

It wouldn't be hard to "track them down." I know where they are.

One of them is a college adjunct professor who lives in a dingy, cluttered apartment, smokes pot all day, and occasionally fucks his adult students.

One of them is a guitarist in my friend's band. We had some beers and he apologized to me, and I've forgiven him. Nice guy. Not a good enough guitarist for me to want to play with, but nice guy.

One of them is serving 25 years in prison for robbing a drycleaner at gunpoint.

One of them went bald, got fat, and sells insurance in Tacoma.

Hematomato · 2023-11-06T19:37:31+00:00

Well, mileage may vary, but usually I find that after I give someone a calm, lengthy, and thorough lecture about the merits, importance, and virtue of professionalism, they don't want to talk to me about anything anymore.

And then I can do my job.

Hematomato · 2023-11-06T17:40:19+00:00

Maybe - just maybe - a lunatic mass murderer was motivated by something other than binary left-right politics.

Hematomato · 2023-11-06T17:38:54+00:00

I've seen a number of manifestos in my day. That is not a manifesto. That is a diary and a schedule.

Hematomato · 2023-11-06T17:33:03+00:00

Is "Do your damn job and occasionally remind them that it's unprofessional to talk about politics in the workplace" too obvious an answer?

Hematomato · 2023-11-06T03:01:04+00:00

And yet virtually no one gives a shit how rational she was or wasn't.

Everyone who's on the "Trans YAY" side of the aisle will conclude that she's a shrill TERFy harpy who deserves to have all her teeth knocked in.

And everyone who's on the "Trans BOO" side of the aisle will celebrate an important moral victory and verbally jerk each other off.

And not one thing will change.

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T23:28:42+00:00

Of course not.

When a girl rejects you, the proper course of action is to erase her from your mind, forget she exists, and pursue a different girl.

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T18:05:10+00:00

Caroline Ellison isn't fat. That's a ridiculously unflattering picture. She looks more like this:

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2023/11/03/13/77364105-12707007-image-a-1_1699018658922.jpg

Or like this, in a posed picture:

https://www.coindesk.com/resizer/EvT-NTTToC-YEXIfRgGcj6U_yPE=/1056x792/filters:quality(80):format(webp)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/coindesk/Y6UVCBTWAFCXNH4DF2CH4BTQKI.jpg

She's not pretty, for sure. But she's fascinating. She's clearly neurodivergent, extremely strong-willed, kinky as fuck, and has completely weird philosophies about sex and relationships.

And, frankly, I don't think Sam isn't lying. I think Caroline was at least a partner in crime in the fraud, and quite possibly pulling most of the strings.

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T18:01:08+00:00

What's the point in anything? We're a bunch of stardust that somehow acquired code to eat, make more of itself, and die.

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T18:00:05+00:00

No, to be honest I'd just walk right by him without another thought. Because I have no reason to give even one single shit about him or his girlfriend.

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T00:14:17+00:00

lol.

That sounds so plausible that it's basically a "Yeah, okay, that's what happened" situation.

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T00:12:32+00:00

Spicy!!

Probably not as spicy as the time Ted Cruz posted that video of Cory Chase fucking her "stepdaughter and boyfriend," though.

The date was September 11, 2017. Never forget.

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T00:07:55+00:00

Well, it's not as simple as all that, is it? We've got eleven different macrocultures here. So it's hard to know whether you're talking about the raging assholes of New York, or the passive-aggressive assholes of the Midwest, or the sanctimonious assholes of the South, or the pretentious assholes of California and the Pacific Northwest, or the batshit hippie assholes of Hawaii...

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T00:05:22+00:00

I think it certainly happens.

It's kind of obnoxious, but hardly a capital crime.

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T00:04:20+00:00

That might well be the first sentiment you've ever posted that I completely agree with.

Hematomato · 2023-11-05T00:03:14+00:00

No, I'd just peacefully take possession of them and make them write me some code.

Hematomato · 2023-11-04T23:53:34+00:00

The free versions and the paid versions are pretty much the same thing.

Hematomato · 2023-11-04T23:38:48+00:00

I wouldn't really say the video is "dumb," but it's hard to see what it has to do with war.

Hematomato · 2023-11-04T07:10:59+00:00

It's a very interesting finding, but the implications with respect to climate change are not readily apparent. Presumably, it reflects laws of physics that have always been true.

Hematomato · 2023-11-04T07:09:12+00:00

Well, that's... not a way to view this paper. This paper says that when you diminish activity in the threat-processing centers of the brain, people become more liberal.

I will agree, though, that "the far left" is different from "the left." People who don't fear much are very often center-left. People who are in a constant state of fear are usually far-something.

Hematomato · 2023-11-04T01:21:47+00:00

Incels are rebranding themselves as "real niggas" now?

Well, okay then.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T22:11:00+00:00

Is that a chick, or is that a little lad who loves berries and cream?

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T21:08:19+00:00

It's funny how there are two ways to read this article.

One is that the government could use magnets to turn people into liberal sheep.

The other is that the true foundation of conservatism is persistent, arational fear that needs to be contextualized into some kind of worldview.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T21:06:38+00:00

I'm usually in public because I want to see live music.

Sometimes I bring my wife and/or my girlfriend.

It ain't about you.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T20:22:08+00:00

What??

Japan is, like, the original incel culture. The rate of virginity out there is staggeringly high. They're like fifteen years more advanced than us when it comes to the design and manufacture of incels.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T20:17:18+00:00

I'm just gonna reply to myself here because this rabbithole is kinda interesting.

Here's an archive of her deleted Instagram profile, where you can very clearly see she's playing with a dildo:

And here's a bunch of woke Twitterati calling her "deplorable" for faking being trans and telling her to go fuck herself.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T20:03:01+00:00

Dude, I've made thousands of renders on deep learning text-to-image models. I know what 2023 AI looks like. This ain't it.

It's like we've all forgotten that sometimes ordinary digital pictures look kinda weird.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T19:07:02+00:00

There used to be a whole subreddit about how amateur sex workers never know what to do with their legs. It was pretty funny. A bunch of them sort of press their toes together like they're skiing and they're trying to slow down into a turn.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T18:39:11+00:00

It's not. You can see her right foot. The view of most of her right leg is blocked by her left leg.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T17:37:36+00:00

For whatever reason, I did a reverse image search.

That's a former camgirl who called herself "Phoebe Owns U." She was trying her hand at being a dominatrix. That's a strapon dildo under her shorts and she was "threatening" to peg her paypigs with it.

In other words: not trans. This is a cis woman.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T17:31:32+00:00

There will come a day when robots and neural networks can build a farm and a restaurant, farm and harvest the crops, transport them to the restaurant, cook and prepare the food, sell it to the customer, and handle unexpected restaurant incidents from choking to fistfights.

When that day comes, we'll be in a post-capitalist world where there will be no jobs because there is no need for jobs.

That day is not coming in our lifetimes. It's centuries away.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T17:28:08+00:00

I think what most people fail to realize is that Trump has two bases: there are the Trump voters, and there are the Trump supporters.

The Trump supporters show up at his rallies, buy his NFTs, say he's the only man who can save America, basically treat him like he's the Second Coming.

The Trump voters are mostly just people who hate liberals and therefore are amused by Trump's unique ability to cause them visceral emotional pain.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T17:15:15+00:00

It's not that we'll forgive, it's just that we'll forget. Americans get laser-focused on one or two controversies at a time. Right now everyone's talking about Gaza. If you bring up COVID, they'll just squint at you like: dude, do you think it's still 2021?

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T17:10:41+00:00

Something happened on October 23. Russian backchannels started to light up with the news that Putin had suffered a heart attack and collapsed, and Joe Biden rushed out of a speech saying "I have to go to the Situation Room."

But I don't think Putin's death could be kept secret. I think it would cause an irresistible power vacuum in Russia as people jockeyed to be his successor.

My gut tells me that Putin had a heart attack and survived it. And, although he's been in bed for most of the last week, he's still in charge.

That's just my gut, though.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T17:02:51+00:00

Cold approaching is awkward and rude. I've got no interest in it.

Either meet on a dating site, or just be friendly with a woman and give you and her both time to get to know each other.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T17:00:42+00:00

I'm not sure "rejection" is the same concept as "total lack of awareness of my existence."

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T16:58:47+00:00

I feel like... you missed the joke there. But I just wanna mention...

What happened to all this Arab/Muslim brotherhood. Why isn't Iran rushing to take them?

The thing about Islam is it's undergoing it's own version of the Catholic/Protestant conflicts that caused Europeans to murder each other for centuries.

Iran is populated by Shi'ites. Most Palestinians are Sunni. Those sects often don't get along at all.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T06:08:22+00:00

Matters to me. When journalists are obsessed with race, the stories say far more about the journalist than about the incident being reported on.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T06:07:34+00:00

I'm sure you'd be entirely gleeful if a weaker person gave you the "right of natural law" to knock all his teeth in.

Hematomato · 2023-11-03T04:20:56+00:00

...well, is there any evidence of racial motivation?

Hematomato · 2023-11-02T22:37:06+00:00

Remember when the Soviets spent fifteen years shooting dogs into space to see if they'd die?

That was fucking metal.

Hematomato · 2023-11-02T22:34:46+00:00

Should be fine. We'll just shove them all into a narrow strip of land in central Montana, build a wall around it, and refuse to let them leave. Problem: solved.

Hematomato · 2023-11-02T18:38:38+00:00

Nah, man, my fate is going to be identical regardless of whatever bullshit goes down on the eastern side of the "country."

Hematomato · 2023-11-02T04:21:38+00:00

I will give Joe Biden fifty dollars if he will give a speech employing the phrase: "It's on like Donkey Kong."

Hematomato · 2023-11-02T03:18:41+00:00

Well, I suppose he's as entitled to speak for God as anyone else.

By the way, God says that if you're not drinking alcohol right now, you're fucking your life up.

Hematomato · 2023-11-02T00:44:56+00:00

So... I guess we've established that we're both Sith! You can be Darth Christian and I'll be Darth Atheist. Old men can sarcastically call us "Darth" as though it were a proper name.

Hematomato · 2023-11-02T00:21:53+00:00

What, only a sith? Sounds like an absolute to me.

Hematomato · 2023-11-01T23:57:31+00:00

And also those faggots who think that birds are real biological organisms

All martial artists are secretly spending their lives waiting and praying for the opportunity to beat the shit out of a weaker person without being arrested.

Space has a terrible power.

No, friend. Space may be gay - very, very gay - irresistibly gay, even - but it is not fake. Not one man has ever gone to space and returned heterosexual.

It means it's the desired endgame of about six people in a specific ministry.

The Israeli policymakers have no doubt looked at it and said: not realistic.

It joins a stack of probably hundreds of rejected proposals.

Unfortunately, you are either misinformed or lying.

Yes, it's a paper from a junior intelligence ministry. This is what those ministries do: they have brainstorming meetings. Green light/red light meetings. No idea too strange. Hit us with everything, and we'll narrow it down.

My friend was in a NASA group like that back in the early 2000s. He wrote an official government paper on getting out of the way of an asteroid by pushing the moon out of its orbit. This does not make "losing the moon" the official policy of the United States of America.

Similarly, "evict every single Palestinian from Gaza" is not official policy, and it is not being carried out.

Works for me. Warning labels are pretty metal. They are visceral reminders that life will kill us and that everything around us is decay and despair.

Because powerful nations aren't cooperative. They're competitive.

The U.S., China, and Russia aren't thinking "How can we get together and solve this." They're thinking "What opportunities does this conflict give me to fuck the other two?"

You do know that most people have friends, don't you? You aren't the norm. The majority of men have friends.

Ah, finally, a link! Thank you.

And that pretty quickly led me to this:

...which says this is a "concept paper" by a junior ministry with no policymaking powers, and does not represent Israeli policy.

I guess it's just like: superior for what.

Shorter guys tend to be healthier and live longer. Tall guys tend to make a little more money in their careers.

For some sports (e.g., wrestling and gymnastics), it's better to be short, and for some (e.g., swimming and basketball), it's better to be tall.

Most women prefer their men to be about six inches taller than they are, but that's a slim majority - a few have "taller-the-better" kinks, a few have "short king" kinks, and the remainder don't really give that much of a shit.

Amusingly enough, "2024 may be the last election we have as a Republic" is one of the few truly bipartisan sentiments, that both Democrats and Republicans can agree upon.

Ha ha, you can't read this, you piece of shit.

The age of consent in Czechia is 15. Sorta weird, I think, to charge him with a crime for something that was legal where he did it. It's a bit like arresting someone for getting high in Amsterdam once they step back off the plane.

It is indeed a categorical statement, and it is the truth. People don't follow religions. Religions follow people.

Um, no. The Houthi may be in Yemen, but they have a good relationship with Iran and a bad relationship with the Sunni-led government of Yemen.

It's closer to the truth to call this an Iranian attack on Israel than a Yemeni one.
