@SaraHigdon STFU we're way too soft on these monsters. They should be tried and punished within a week of being caught. It was all on tape, there's no reason for this bullshit to take years.

I am imploring that the collective internet take a step back and understand how the justice system works, that this is not a plea of insanity at the time of the murder, and incompetence to stand trial is not a defense of the crime. It is a constitutionally protected right, that you have to be able to understand the proceedings and help in your defense. Also, this trial is not over, the defense and prosecutor agreed to a 180 day hold, and the trial will continue once it is determined he is fit to stand trial. I like everyone else want to see him found guilty for the heinous crime, but the rage bait/ignorance over this is too much. No matter what this guy will never walk the streets again. justia.com/criminal/proce…

@ViCastelno @NixLupus31 And that's a good thing.

@peterf @NixLupus31 Widow was never dominant in the last 6 years bruh 😂

With all those insane high mobility heroes its becoming impossible to play heroes like Widowmaker or any slower more stationary hero. How am i supposed to play Widow when half the enemies are in my face in .5sec and my only mobility tool is on a 10sec cd??

@AzZ_09z @NixLupus31 Second best thing to just deleting the character.

@NixLupus31 Widow literally gets overshadowed after every season goes by. Almost all the heroes they’ve been adding since illari counter widow and it makes it impossible to play her

@qu3stionevrthg @zerohedge Sounds good but unlikely

@zerohedge Lebanon will be taken from Iran and given to the west Book it

Hezbollah MP says group rejects any direct talks between Lebanon, Israel

@avidseries We don't need any more months dedicated to specific groups.

Apparently, some people are fuming about this tweet, darkly warning about Islamism. But here's something that most Americans probably don't know: Only about 30% of Arab-Americans identify as Muslim. (Most are Christian.) Even in Michigan, only about half are Muslim.

@brandenflasch Whatever they did to the newer batteries sucks. The older ones were better.

Tesla Roamer now has degradation from over 16k used Teslas and Teslas are typically seeing 7.5% degradation in the first year / 10k miles.

@brandenflasch With 220kWh wouldn't that be easily possible?

A Tesla could only dream of 250kW avg for 11-85%

@brandenflasch RIP

Model S.

@SilchQuatch @Devon_Eriksen_ Weren't like 100 soldiers deployed?

@Devon_Eriksen_ I love Sweden. I am a patriot. That is why I HATE AMERICA, because you elected a demented and retarded pedophile who threatened to invade Greenland. Swedish soldiers, and many more, were deployed in order to stop the US. Fuck you, fuck your president, I pray for his death.

Europe's disease is not a disease of America. It is a disease of World War 2. In 1946, after we rescued them from themselves and each other, Europeans crawled out of the rubble they had made of their continent, looked around at their mess, wept for a bit, and then formed the wrong conclusions. They decided that ethnic nations are bad. That patriotism is bad. That supporting your tribe, in preference to random strangers, is bad. They decided that these things had led to the horrors of global war and genocide in Europe itself, and so all vestiges of loyalty to one's own people must be stamped out. Nations were, forever afterward, to be post-ethnic, post-cultural legal and economic units filled with... well, anyone, really. A bunch of people who didn't, in fact shouldn't, share values, goals, morals, customs, or even a common language. Nations were to be mere fiefs, their boundaries determined by which set of political elites controlled them. America, having not been smashed to rubble in WW2, did not share this view. We saw WW2 as an expensive adventure in bailing out Europe, which we spent our treasure and our blood on (including my own grandfather's life, and his chance to ever see his grandson) precisely because we shared cultural and ethical values with the people we were rescuing. But they hate us for it. They see our patriotism as fascism precisely because they see all patriotism as fascism. Psychologists have long understood that humans respond to favors with gratitude only up until those favors become so great that they have no hope of repaying them. At that point, their gratitude turns to resentment. How dare we believe we did them a favor? How dare I believe that my father gave up his father so Europe could be safe, peaceful, and free? Don't we know that, because ${ELABORATE MENTAL GYMNASTICS}, we didn't do them any favors by fighting that war? Don't we know that, because ${ANY PATRIOTISM = HITLER}, our love of our country and favoring of its interests makes us fascist and problematic? Well, no. I don't know that. I don't think any European nation is our ally any more. Certainly, we have shared interests, but how much does that really matter, when they refuse to act in those shared interests, because they have come to believe that acting in your people's interest is bad? They hate us too much to work with us. They resent every ounce of the burden which they are asked to share. Our support has made Europe into a pack of idle welfare recipients, complete with sense of entitlement and self-destructive behavior. But if we didn't defend them... who would? Their native populations have been purged of all patriotism, and who would blame them if they didn't fight for ruling elites that hate them? Their imported third-world barbarians won't fight for them. The very idea is laughable. What's left? And what will make them wake up and think about these questions? Perhaps they need to dig themselves out of the rubble of another war.

@Fraulinhoo @athsoc @firasmodad Selecting for immigrants who contribute is bad?

@athsoc @firasmodad I have no problem with banning all immigration, it's based on them being foreigners, at least it makes sense But targeting some and leaving others is based on Israeli interests, it's Jewish propaganda. I can't support that he can't defend it because it's illogical, not smart

Nothing good comes from Somalis flooding your country and building colonies in it.

@GarryCheeseman @KutarkV @DANNYonPC Linus of LTT? LMAO no he's not.

@KutarkV @DANNYonPC Bro he’s right wing as fuck, lol

The Linus Media group recently bought a private plane and officially announced it today. This was Linus (And luke's) opinion on private planes (And first class flights) back in 2023 during the ''WAN Show September 1, 2023'' I wonder what changed

@joeyscleaning @Handre You don't think the 13 million used vehicles exported from the USA since have a much larger impact than the 677,000 destroyed?

@peterf @Handre About 84% of the vehicles traded in were trucks, SUVs, etc with clear utilitarian value. Many have surged in price because they’re simpler and cheaper to repair. Thousands of OBS trucks were scrapped, and those same vehicles have now appreciated significantly.

Cash for Clunkers destroyed $2.4 billion in working capital in 2009. The government paid dealers to pour sodium silicate into 690,000 perfectly functioning engines -- rendering them permanently inoperable. These weren't junkyard cars. The program required trade-ins to be drivable and insured. You had working vehicles that poor families desperately needed, and bureaucrats systematically destroyed them to boost GM sales (while GM was under government ownership, naturally). The environmental impact? Pure theater. Most clunkers got 18+ mpg -- hardly gas guzzlers. Meanwhile, building new cars generates 25 tons of CO2 per vehicle before they leave the factory. The program likely increased net emissions while making transportation less affordable for everyone earning under $50k.

@LoveBlacks88 @Handre @grok AI is good at looking up data. Cash for clunkers in a negligible impact at this point. I agree, immigration is the reason that beaters are expensive. I have replied with that point to other people in this thread.

@peterf @Handre @grok Can't just have a normal conversation anymore lmao

@LoveBlacks88 @Handre @grok how many cars were destroyed by cash for clunkers? How many used vehicles were exported from the USA since that program? What percentage of cars did cash for clunkers destroy compared to the amount destroyed + exported?

@peterf @Handre It significantly decreased supply, it absolutely affected prices. The bigger driving force behind sky high used car prices now is rampant immigration, both legal and illegal

@sauerkng @Handre If that program never happened there would basically be zero difference in used car prices today. Stop whining.

@peterf @Handre Because I want to be able to buy a shitty beater for 500 bucks not 1500 bucks, there's no reason a 98 that isn't considered desirable with 147k on them with peeled clear coat AND dont run should go for that. It's also artificially increased parts rarity and vehicle rarity

@BitSlappin851 @Handre x.com/i/status/20390…

@peterf @Handre Wait, are you justifying that program because they've printed more since?

@fuzzychubbywolf @juskom95 @Handre No one will argue against the government being wasteful but the impact on used prices now from this program are basically zero.

@peterf @juskom95 @Handre Both are true. What cfc really did was show gov is wasteful.

@joeyscleaning @Handre It was 17 years ago. 800,000 used vehicles are exported every year. 13 million exported and removed from the USA market since then and you think 677,000 is still significant?

@peterf @Handre also irreversibly impacted auto insurance, auto repair etc. Those old beaters were cheap to fix

@BitSlappin851 @Handre Lmao. That is negligible in comparison to what else they've printed.

@peterf @Handre You're economically illiterate. The inflation alone from the money the government had printed for that program continually bends us over.
