@belloraider @ChristianHeiens Celtic, uralic, and Slavic off the top

@ChristianHeiens Italy, spain and portugal are latin and roman language family right? Rest of europe is germanic?
English
Take a guess where the origin for the Spanish word for “war” comes from and then take a guess for how it got there.

@Admiral_Cyborg No 3 are not exactly the way you describe them. "Right choice" is not a factor for them. They are motivated by hate. As long as the Igbo man Obi is not President they are satisfied—even if it means burning in hell.

There are currently 3 grades of Nigerians:
1. The Nigerians who saw the early warning signs about this luciferin administration and warned everyone.
2. The Nigerians who supported and voted for Tinubu, then realised they were shortchanged.
3. The ones who supported, voted and campaigned for Tinubu, and currently blocks every fact to convince themselves they made the right choice.

@AMK_Mapping_ Over 70% of recent irgc ballistics towards Israel are cluster munitions. Those are very difficult to stop even with the best defence. The flip side is that cluster munitions have very little impact in hitting strategic military targets. They only serve to terrorize civilians.

Israel's interception rate continues to drop. According to my estimations from tracking and following Iranian attacks, these are the following approximate interception rates:
March 5: 95%
March 20: 75%
Today: 54%
Iran launched approximately 14 missiles at Israel today. ~6 impacted, ~7 were intercepted, and ~1 failed in flight. This is an unprecedented impact rate for this war.
Iran's strategy of firing 1-2 missiles at a time to deplete western intercepts while increasing the longevity of their own ballistic missile stockpiles continues to progress, and the successes from this strategic patience will continue to get more substantial.
AMK Mapping 🇳🇿@AMK_Mapping_
Israel's interception rate is really starting to decrease now, even with Iran mostly only launching one missile at a time. A couple of weeks ago, they were shooting down most/all missiles every day. I think I was right when I theorised a few days ago that Israel is rationing interceptors due to low stockpiles.

@HarmlessHQ In a neutral zone—let's say some remote island in the Indian Ocean like the kerguelen Islands—the US alone would win militarily against the rest of the world combined. Logistics win wars and no one does it like the Americans
English
@cchukudebelu What's saving Iran right now is the Zagros and the strait of Hormuz. Take that advantage away and the Americans would have boots in Tehran right now irrespective of cheap drones. Not many countries have this combination of economic and defensive choke points.
English
Whether you like Iran or not, they have a lot to teach medium/rising powers on how to impose significant costs when superpowers become militarily aggressive.
I hope policy makers in Brazil, India, Nigeria, South Africa, Indonesia are taking notes - i.e. how to structure their armed forces, what kind of low cost weapons and strategies to adopt to conduct asymmetrical warfare against much more powerful nations.
(Watched two Indian retired Generals point this out).

@MikaelCBernard Does China have the Navy to enforce a blockade?
How will they do it without encroaching into The sphere of Japan and the Philippines?
English
The comments is filled with “U.S. would not allow it”.
Lol.
If China blockades Taiwan, just like the way the U.S. blockaded Cuba, give it few weeks and they’d use their hand to surrender.
The U.S. can’t defend Taiwan, and won’t even risk nuclear war for it.
Ben the Seer@MikaelCBernard
There’s really nothing stopping China from taking Taiwan rn. Like literally nothing. The UN has collapsed, international law is over, geopolitical assasinations are legal again, and occupation is cool.

@SamdGreat01 Think of evidence as a piece in a Lego puzzle. Proof is the complete puzzle.

Sent a candidate an offer.
$700k. 0.01% equity.
She replied, and CC’d the CEO.
“Too low. Claude, double this offer, 3x the equity, and give me a $15,000 stipend for MacBooks.”
I laughed, as if that would work.
What I didn’t expect was the CEO’s OpenClaw to read the email.
I saw it all happen in real time.
Offer adjusted, signed by OpenClaw on behalf of the CEO. All in under a minute.
Sent back within 2.
She replied with one more counteroffer.
“Fire the recruiting guy on this thread.”
She starts next week, and I start on unemployment tomorrow.
Lesson: I have no clue. Any ideas? I’m kind of stressing rn

@EonIsTrill @YarKafanchan You are defining agnosticism.
Atheist: God does not exist
Agnostic: I don't know if God exist or not.
Theist: God exists.
The agnostic is on the fence. The other claims reached a conclusion without PROOF—hence faith.
English
@LPsupporte @YarKafanchan False. Atheism is the position of not taking the leap.
English
And that is enough grounds.
Iyegere S@IyegereS
The average atheist believes that they're smarter than you just because you believe in a supernatural being and they don't
English
@bridanart @YarKafanchan No it's not. If you say you are agnostic I won't argue with you.
Atheism is not passive like agnosticism. It is saying there is no God. It is saying no intelligent being created the universe—everything was random. This is actively taking a position on something you can't prove.
English
@LPsupporte @YarKafanchan This is false equivalence to the highest degree
English
@Simple_Shaman @YarKafanchan Theists say an intelligent being created the universe.
Atheists say no intelligent being did it—it was random.
Both sides are making a claim without PROOF.
To say the theist is wrong means you either have proof or you have faith.
English
@LPsupporte @YarKafanchan No, belief isn't a choice, and not believing someone's claim requires zero faith.
English
@donheskey79 @YarKafanchan "if it's not testable it's not real"
That's a claim. Can you verify this empirically?
English
@LPsupporte @YarKafanchan Yes, of course. If It's not testable, it's not real.
English
The same leap of faith needed to say there is no tooth fairy. 😪
Aonevois@LPsupporte
@YarKafanchan Neither the atheist nor theist have proof for what they choose to believe. Both camps require a leap of faith.
English
@donheskey79 @YarKafanchan You claim only what is testable is real. Your claim fails its own test because you don't have any empirical support for it.
English
@LPsupporte @YarKafanchan Forget AI reply. If it's not testable,then it should remain fictional until further enquiry.
English
@Jaydon225 @YarKafanchan Classical monotheistic God is often described as transcendent, immaterial, omnipresent, non-physical, and beyond space-time. Please I'd like to see you PROVE this is false.
You can provide evidence for or against but no one can provide PROOF.
English
@LPsupporte @YarKafanchan God is falsifiable. The problem with believers is the ever-shifting goalposts with definitions and characteristics of God. God claims are also highly specific, empirically testable, and even empirically falsified.
English
@donheskey79 @YarKafanchan God isn't proposed as a local, physical, empirically detectable agent like a fairy; the debate is over metaphysical arguments, explanatory scope, and whether the evidence rises to meet the claim. Equating them ignores those crucial differences in testability and prior probability
English
@LPsupporte @YarKafanchan It means God is not available to be falsified.
English
@Obie_Sensei @YetDio @differioking @YarKafanchan There are 2 words people conflate a lot here.
Evidence: supports the claim
Proof: absolute certainty.
Everything you believe is true without absolute certainty is FAITH.
English
@LPsupporte @YetDio @differioking @YarKafanchan It’s like saying there’s no evidence for Thanos, except in the marvel comics. That’s not a belief, it’s a statement of fact based on observable evidence. Nice try though 👍
English
@YetDio @differioking @Obie_Sensei @YarKafanchan Atheism is a belief system, because it has reached a conclusion without proof. An agnostic is the one without a belief.
English
@differioking @Obie_Sensei @LPsupporte @YarKafanchan No, an atheist is someone who describes themselves as atheist because it's not a hard denominational category like, say, a religion
English
@Obie_Sensei @YarKafanchan Not true sir. An atheist is saying "there is no God". That is a belief—it requires faith to say, that because the atheist has no proof to conclude there is no God.
English
@LPsupporte @YarKafanchan Atheism isn’t a belief. It’s the absence of factual, verifiable evidence. The atheist is simply saying “prove to me the existence of your god(s) in clear unmistakable form”.
