@MrHumpty_ @tomselliott @unusual_whales We ... COULD .. have nice things in our lifetime..

@Alexand30654896 @Oceanbreeze473 Is that why you look dead in your pfp?

@Oceanbreeze473 Being a responsible adult is going vegan.

Being an adult is basically figuring out what to cook with ground beef and chicken for the rest of your life.

I just saw something that said adulthood was “deciding what ethnicity to make the ground beef and chicken every night” which seems even more accurate 😂

@michaeljamesx4 @cenkuygur They use them every single day...

@cenkuygur If Israel has nukes, and they are the most evil dangerous nation on Earth, why haven't they used them??

The only reason we don't have peace with Iran now is because Trump keeps insisting on Israel's absurd maximalist demands. Israel, which already has nuclear weapons and is obviously the most belligerent and dangerous country in the Middle East, is demanding that Iran not even have a nuclear energy program. Who the fuck are they to demand anything when they're the world's biggest hypocrites on nuclear weapons? Especially when they STOLE THAT NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY FROM US! Iran didn't steal our nuclear technology, Israel did!! Iran didn't start seven wars with their neighbors, Israel did. Why are we backing the country that is starting all the wars and making demands that they be the only regional superpower? Why is that our priority? Israel is also demanding that they control Iran's foreign policy and tell them who they can and can't associate with. No country on earth is going to agree to that. And Trump goes along with this ludicrous demand - and that's why we dont have a peace deal! How much longer are we going to bleed out for Israel? This is fucking insane. When this war picks back up, we are going to pay a huge price, especially economically. And all because our politicians work for a different country!! If you're not trying to free America from Israel's grip, you're just wasting your time with other bullshit that isn't relevant. WE HAVE TO CONTROL OUR OWN GOVERNMENT FIRST. THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER ISSUE THAN THAT, UNTIL WE GET OUR SOVEREIGNTY BACK.

@Karl_Cardona7 @cenkuygur Known by who? How do you "know" this? Let me guess... our government told you this?

@cenkuygur Iran is known as sponsoring terrror groups in the Middle East for 40 years, but you and Ana and other anti-Israel pundits don't ever seem to want to talk about the evils on the other side. It's always "Israel is evil!" with no mention of the crazed islamic fanatics at all.

@Alicia_Bittle_ @brodie_a19 fingers are blunt actually...

@brodie_a19 Fingers are sharp too

Girl to girl: NEVER hold your keys like this… If you actually ever end up punching someone (which clearly the author never has but is enamored with the fantasy) you will destroy your hand and the punch won’t even be that effective.

@Alicia_Bittle_ Effective as a swiping weapon though... WAY better than your fingers/nails for damage to face/groin/stomach/kidneys.

Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital. Cette phrase change tout. L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ? Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible. Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur. Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé. Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire. L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants. Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution. Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain. Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée. Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien. La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose. Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins. Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires. La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.

inventing a sacrifice nobody needs

You need to be having more sex. This is medical advice. Having sex less than once a month increases your risk of death by 2.3 TIMES. The sweet spot in the study was 2 to 3 times a week. Daily sex also was associated with a 3 times increase in all cause mortality.

@devahaz @xwanyex I think there’s a lot of truth to Bryan Caplan’s simple theory of left vs right, where “left” is mostly just a description of how anti-market some policy is econlib.org/archives/2015/…

@FondOfBeetles I've come to the conclusion that the Venn diagram of those who push blue and those who trust SLOP polls to mirror reality is just an overlapping circle...

Reds are really annoyed that every single poll shows blues are gonna be fine, huh? How long does it keep repeating before they re-examine their priors?

@max_spooky @FoldingNapkins @waitbutwhy My high IQ pissed a monkey off? Oh noes.

@CandidDevOps @FoldingNapkins @waitbutwhy People like you should not be allowed to vote or raise children you are misanthropic subhumans

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@SenTomCotton @SecMullinDHS Election season, time for this POS to pretend he cares about what his constituents do.

Criminal illegal aliens have repeatedly abused the U visa program to gain permanent legal status. I look forward to working with @SecMullinDHS to investigate this fraud-riddled program. breitbart.com/politics/2026/…

Tell me you’re mentally ill, without telling me you’re mentally ill.

Cenk Uygur just exposed the media's double standard. 'A 42-year-old woman was bound naked to a metal table and repeatedly raped over two days. A 35-year-old man was forced to strip, had dogs urinate on him, and was then penetrated by a dog. Cable news went nuts over alleged sexual assaults on October 7th. Coverage of Israel's systematic rape? Zero. When Israel does it, rape is good.' Only one thing separates the coverage: the victim's identity. Israeli lives matter to the media. Palestinian lives do not. That's the ugly reality of the so-called free media

@FuentesUpdates ??? Fuentes had entered a deferred prosecution agreement including community service and an apology, but the victim dropped the criminal case in April 2026 to pursue a civil suit for damages instead.

Case dismissed, bitch 😈

@2AJames_ @ShamashAran x.com/TRHLofficial/s…

According to what Tim said, all paid partners were sent review copies. I would hope they all watch it, you never know, but she deserves a little charitability, so I assume she at least watched the movie. The real question to me is whether the film is obvious in its position or subversive. How can some people see it one way and others a completely different way? I haven't watched Tim's in-depth review yet. Maybe he's reading tea leaves where none exist, or maybe not. Maybe he's misreading a description as a prescription. Or maybe he's right and they just destroyed the story. It's just so strange to have such polarity in reviews among non-critics. Maybe that's because of the money. I hope not. $50 grand is a lot, but not to these people.

What. I was told it was pro communism.

@ChrisMartzWX Still FALSE. The trust is not empty.

Let me grab some crayons. 🖍️ I’ll explain this to you like you’re five. The money you paid into Social Security has already been SPENT. 💸 Puff the magic dragon, it is gone. Your money is not kept in a lockbox just for you to earn interest and pay ya back when you become age-eligible to receive the benefits. 🚫 🗃️ It’s not a retirement fund. The money you get in return comes out of the paychecks of currently working people vis payroll taxes. Beneficiaries will often (albeit not always) get more in return than they paid in. And because the ratio of workers to retirees has shrunk from 16:1 in 1960 to 2:1 today, there aren’t enough workers pitching in to keep the pool of funds filled. So, the government has to borrow money they don’t have to make up the difference. The Treasury’s BEP then prints money to try compensating for the debt, which then causes inflation. 🖨️ 💵 = 📉 💵 value = 📈 💰 costs You have bought into FDR’s scam hook, line, and sinker. All the more reason it should have been privatized a long time ago.

@aldatweets plants don't have milk...

There’s a lot of big thingd I want from a big green state. But the small thing I want is banning coffee shops from charging extra for plant milk.

@flintlockactual Nonsense. Small farms in the *proper* climate for cattle have been raising grass fed beef for centuries... They are still doing it, nothing to change.

I have seen A LOT of discourse on grass finished beef and I want to talk about a few things. I have been setting this system up for 5 years and have received A LOT of flack from all corners, both at home and online because 99% of people don't understand this system. First, the grass fed system is a complete rebuild of current agriculture and needs to be treated as such, the guys running dry lots are going to retire on dry lots because the infrastructure requirements won't let them turn their farm around in time to not lose their ass. We need to acknowledge that there will be a lot of legacy guys who can't change and that's ok. Second, 80% of the hype on grass fed right now is an internet fad, the guys throwing cattle on grass with no long term prep work will be shifting to the next thing as soon as it pops. To have a successful grass fed operation you have to understand how to grow grass and how ruminant grazing affects grass growth, understand crimping, soil structure, water retention, the amount of graze you can allow before you need to rotate ect. Our farms are all currently set up to shed water as fast as it can go, to let cattle roam and be picky on what they eat, and that if grass is green it's good enough to put cows on no matter the nutrients, growth rate, and ability to hold nutrition overwinter, and even the finish taste of the product. Third, you're gonna catch hell for doing it differently! People don't see the work you put into it because it's not visible, they don't understand the time investment because it's not immediately lucrative. Your family will laugh at you, your neighbors will call you a do nothing, and the AG sphere will tell you again and again how you can't feed the world that way. Long story short if you're gonna put them on grass and keep them on grass you're gonna need to do A LOT of learning, ground work, and really believe in the system you are building because nobody else will until you are actually producing results.
