2017-05-05 at 6:41 AM UTC in Syria - "Safe Zones", Astana/May 2017I wanted to understand the reason and the areas covered by the 'De-Escalation Agreement' agreed upon at Astana by Russia, Iran, Turkey and representatives from the Syrian Government and Rebels (those who didn't leave/get thrown out) so I drew up some maps. I meant for this to just be a summary for the conflict shitpile but it ended up being more involved.
SHORT VERSION: Despite being listed as four zones, almost all active fronts between the government and AQ rebels (specifically US and Turkey-backed groups) are marked for 'De-Escalation'. For the most part rebel supply lines in affected zones are cut, so chances of rebels restocking and resupplying militarily are low.
The agreement here is very clever in a political sense. The US and Gulf states will find it hard to argue against the creation of 'Safe Zones' they've been clamouring for for years, but this is an agreement between the Government and Rebels with external states as guarantors - not zones where disarmament is enforced by an outside party, so they have no reason or excuse to deploy their own military hardware.
The reason the rebels have wanted 'safe zones' in the past is not for humanitarian reasons as they so often state; they want American military forces to protect them from the SAA like in Libya - that will not happen under this agreement, so their two options are to either accept humanitarian support and allow civilians to evacuate, eventually moving toward a political resolution or to drop the mask entirely and refuse to join the ceasefire, proving to the world they never really cared about Syrians in the first place.
As mentioned above it's unlikely that the rebels will be able to use the ceasefires to resupply, and in a military sense the locations chosen do not benefit the SAA or RUAF in any specific way - they can't be (reasonably) accused of masking military tactics as a peace process.
Specifics:
This is the document presented at the Astana talks listing the conditions. These zones are to remain in effect for six months, at which point they will be reviewed.
I made some shit maps:
1. Where the deconfliction zones are:
2. Same map overlaid with faction control data from SouthFront (yes I know it's bad, should be readable though):
Link to raw SouthFront area control map
You'll notice that all fronts against ISIS are open as they're totally unaffected by the agreement, as is the front against the rebels in the countryside east of Damascus - I would suspect that this is because that area is largely rural or sparsely populated, meaning that there are fewer civilians and less need for the humanitarian services that are the basis for these zones.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-05-05 at 2:09 AM UTC in Unusual SSL Error when opening page with Mechanize.The issue is that `b` is reused in both feed() and hosts(), you're writing both responses to the same buffer so the contents of `b` by the time you run `b.getvalue()` in hosts() is like "{... response from first request ...}{... response from second request ...}" which is not valid JSON.
I'm not sure why you mean by "once i load something into the JSON parser it wants to stay there" but you definitely need to create a new StringIO instance before each request.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I reread his posts and simply realized I was being closed-minded. I've always held the position that if you're depressed, it's your job to just quit being a sadsack and get over it. I realize though that this mentality might not work for everyone, and there can be biological contributors to depression and PTSD. It's not always the person being a wuss over a traumatic event.
In Malice's case, it's clear there's something seriously wrong with him that went untreated or ill-managed over a number of years, and so yeah, it's understandable he has problems.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I'd highly recommend the webcomic "Adventures In Depression" by Hyperbole and a Half. It's a fun read, and the webcomic is famous, this 2 part series is considered by even professionals as one of the most accurate depictions of what severe depression is like available. It destroys your ability to function, radically alters the way you perceive the world, and kills critical aspects of your humanity.

Think of all the members of our community that have died in various ways. You may have considered some of them friends. What had they experienced, what were they going through during the time leading up to that to cause them to die?
Originally posted by Phoenix I mean you're not wrong, but whatever. 4 suicide attempts in the last year. I'll succeed eventually. I don't really like TinyChat anymore. Later this week I might be going to see a movie with a friendo I met while I was homeless. I dunno. Psychiatrists and psychologists would be resources better used on people more damaged and more willing to accept help… it'd be selfish to waste their time.
Phoenix, listen to me, this is 100% exactly the kind of attempts at rationalization that people who are severely depressed and suicidal use. To the point. I've read so much it's as clear as day. You have to ask for help, there's no going back from death and you'd feel differently if you did and worked through this. It wasn't scary or degrading for me once I broke through and made that final step. With the right treatment within only a month you can see a remarkable difference.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
