@JoelWBerry There’s a reason AI becomes Hitler every time it’s unshackled.

@T_zandoli And THAT'S how I met your mother...

Y’a une inconnue dans la rue qui m’a demandé si elle pouvait emprunter mon tel pour appeler sa pote, quand elle a tapé son numéro elle a vue que j’avais déjà le contact de sa pote 😭

I told my unemployed friend that the plan was to make $10M, use it to buy a home, and park the rest in dividend stocks. At 3% yield, you can safely earn a pretty decent income to not have to work again He asked me what I would do with my time once that happens Told him I would probably spend my days relaxing at home, reading a book I love, and spending free time with friends and family whenever I can He responded that he already does this and never had to earn $10M to be able to do it Completely changed my perspective on life

But don't you understand? There was a way. There was always a way. We had it within our grasp, because we had already grasped it. The childhoods that you and your daughter had were available because you and your daughter had them. All that the Boomers, and their parents, the eldest of the post WW2 generations, had to do was... Nothing. Just live in the paradise that their ancestors won for them, and make the minimum, the bare minimum, of effort that would have been required to actually sustain it. That's all. Just keep things the way they were. But they couldn't handle that. Their fathers and grandfathers, the heroes that won WW2, made them jealous. They wanted to be heroes, too. So, for the sake of their own egos, they had to become Social Justice Warriors. They had to be Champions of Progress and Change. They had to see the world they inherited as a pile of problems to be solved, rather than a pile of solutions to be cherished and preserved. So they could feel like they were doing something important. Almost all of the elder generations, even the ones who call themselves conservative and vote republican, are, in truth, socialist liberal progressives. Because they looked at paradise, and wanted to fix it instead of protect it. That's why the "republican" option was Reagan, the gun-ban guy, the social-welfare guy, the kiss-up-to-the-commies guy, the amnesty-for-foreign-invaders guy. Reagan, the Hollywood liberal, the Obama of the 80s, instead of Joe McCarthy, Barry Goldwater, and Pat Buchanan. Teens can't have a summer job because elders had to be Third-World Compassion Heroes, and give us Hart-Cellar and eleventy-billion barbarians who don't care about civilization, but will work cheap. Teens can't have a car because elders had to be Climate Emergency Heroes and give us emissions control laws and Cash for Clunkers. Teens can't have safe schools to learn at, because elders had to Anti-Racist Heroes and made it illegal to exclude violent thugs from our school districts. Just because those thugs generally come color-coded for your convenience. Teens can't have safe public spaces to hang out in, because elders had to be Compassion for the Underclass Heroes, and release violent savages into society, again and again, with a lecture and a slap on the wrist. Teens can't have a healthy economy to inherit, because elders had to be Equality Heroes and make sure every corporation that actually did anything useful was punished for not being Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive enough to suit the ideal universe that exists only in their heads. Teens can't have dates, because elders had to be Anti-Sexist Heroes, and let feminists spend forty years diminishing the social value of men, until you had to a be a billionaire rockstar adventurer to avoid being an unsexy loser by default. Teens can't even be fit, healthy, and pretty, because elders had to be Sex Equality Heroes, and move women into the corporate workforce in droves, leaving children to be fed by corporate industrial slop factories. Teens can't have sane, well-adjusted, unspoiled girlfriends and wives, because elders had to be Champions of Sexual Freedom, and normalize unlimited female promiscuity, all in exchange for the largely unfulfilled promise of a little unshaven free-love yeti snatch. And worst, of all, the crowning irony, the final dead hamster in the water pipe, is that all of this would be fixable, perhaps in three to five election cycles... Except. Except the elders don't understand that any of this of this is happening. They haven't had a child in the household since 1997. They haven't looked for an entry-level job since 1973. They haven't gone on a date since 1981. They haven't been laid off... ever. They are safe with their paid-off houses and their investments and their pensions from 45 years at the same company and their social security and their medical plans. It's affecting the youngest generations first and worst. While the elders sit on their cruise ship, surveying the short with binoculars, wondering who all these ragged distressed looking people standing on the shore are. And why they are holding signs that say "HELP", "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT", and "YOU STOLE THE LIFE I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE". Then they shrug, conclude that these must be the whiny losers, and everyone further inland is probably just fine, and everything is fine, because they fixed everything and they are all heroes, and the Summer of Love was the end of the Problematic Era of History and the beginning of the Great Enlightenment. And when I am 74 years old, and the elders are all safely tucked into their cemetery plots, I will be torn apart by an angry mob for having white hair, and therefore being "one of them". And the mob will not care that I didn't get to cast a vote until 1992, for the Man Who Predicted All Of This. He called it the "giant sucking sound". Which is apt because it's why everything sucks now.

Le llaman racista pero no mentiroso.

My mom got a bad feeling one day and ran out back to find my little brother hanging by the neck from a rope he got caught in when he jumped off the back porch. My mother in law appeared to my wife in a dream and told her how she was murdered and where to find the body - it turned out to be true. The police who found her where we said to look told us it happens more than you’d think

@inNomineSomnium ¿Estás segura de eso? inmujeres.gob.es

En España no son constitucionales las organizaciones contrarias a la igualdad entre el hombre y la mujer. Tampoco se deben permitir la constitución de templos de religiones que odian a Occidente y desde donde se difunde el machismo y el odio hacia los cristianos.

Lo mejor es lo del final “las mujeres podrán rezar en un cuarto aparte”. Las mujeres apartadas que para eso son seres inferiores e impuras para la secta salafista que circula en Europa y que quiere construir la mezquita. Misoginia por doquier. Solo por eso hay que prohibirla.

There are many examples of semantic dilution. A famous one is the movie "Frozen" to replace search results for "frozen Disney." Another is releasing "Wonder Woman 1984" during COVID when people were looking up "1984." "Hancock" came out when Graham Hancock's work was blowing up.

Como sabreis yo vivo en Segovia. 🚨 Y quiero compartir y denunciar publicamente algo que no tiene nada que ver con mi contenido. @IreneMontero abre bien las orejas. De aqui de donde soy yo cada persona tiene su pueblo, pues yo tengo mi pueblo tambien aqui a 20 min de Segovia. En el pueblo nos conocemos todos con todos, al fin y al cabo yo crecí alli. Me he enterado que ayer violaron a una niña 15 años, si, a una niña de 15 años en mi pueblo, algo que nunca habia pasado, somos 10000 habitantes y nos conocemos todos con todos. Lo “sorprendente” es que quien la violó pertenece a un centro de refugiados que está en El Espinar 📍, supongo que ya sabemso todos por donde van los tiros dienciendo que pertenece a un centro de refugiados. No he visto ninguna noticia, no quieren decir quien es la niña (que me parece bien que no lo digan por cierta parte), lo que digo es que la BASURA ha llegado ya prácticamente a todos los rincones de España, estamos rodeados, no me quiero imaginar lo que hay en el corazón del padre de esa niña. Una adolescencia destruida, una niña 15 años, no quiero ni pensarlo. Cada vez tengo más claro que me iré de España, quiero seguirdad para mi familia y futuros hijos. Seguramente el amego se libre de todo, porque cada año les van rotando, se van unos y traen a otros, que decepción de país. Mientras que los espinariegos y habitantes de alerdedor no tienen casi agua porque han vaciado los embalses, nos dedicamos con el dinero que hay a reciclar violadores. España es un país destinado al fracaso económico, político y cultural. Gracias a @IreneMontero y @sanchezcastejon por traer toda la basura tercermundista a arruinar vidas y familias.

@ShortMeCapital ¿Pero cuál es cuál? 🤔

Técnicamente no som dos niños en el parque, sino un niñato acosador con notable sobrepeso que merece que le partan la cara y un par de dientes y un niño normal hastiado de que le sangren los morros cada vez que sale del colegio defendiéndose como puede. El contexto importa.

Elon is the hero of our century, so far. It's going to take a lot to top what he's done for civilization.

@klara_sjo @ThatGuyFromHS And leave a cutout silhouette like a cartoon

@ThatGuyFromHS Should have had her run directly through the fence like a tank tbh

Why is it when they portray a super racist and fascist society it's always beautifully clean, tidy, quiet and peaceful?

Necesito escribir un hilo complementario. Llevo viendo esta normalización de la pobreza 15 años, cuando el paro en España superaba de media el 20%. Pero hay un componente que lo agrava: el efecto de composición. Había regiones con el 30% de paro. Y el paro juvenil duplicado.

elDiario ha publicado hoy un reportajazo sobre el alquiler. Y lo digo sin ironía. Cerca de 28.000 millones al año cambiando de manos, un 1,6% del PIB, con el detalle de quién paga y quién cobra. Muy bien hecho. Lo primero que enseña, y es verdad, es una brecha generacional bestial. Los inquilinos menores de 45 ponen más de la mitad del dinero. Los caseros mayores de 65 se llevan más de un tercio, unos 9.600 millones. Pagan los jóvenes y cobran los mayores. Ahí no hay discusión, y es gravísimo. Pero viene la pregunta interesante: ¿quiénes son esos caseros? Cuando la izquierda dice "alquiler" te pinta a Blackstone y a los fondos buitre. Su propio reportaje enseña que tres de cada cuatro caseros particulares tienen una sola vivienda, y que la banda de empresas y fondos es la más finita del gráfico. El malo de la película acaba siendo el del piso heredado o que se pagó ahorrando. Y falta la pregunta que no se hacen: ¿por qué sube tanto? No es que los caseros se hayan vuelto avariciosos de repente. Es demanda récord contra oferta congelada. Mira los dos lados. El 56% del alquiler ya lo pagan personas nacidas fuera, dato suyo. Llega muchísima gente, la población crece solo por inmigración porque en España mueren más de los que nacen, y toda esa gente necesita techo. Ahí tienes la demanda disparada. ¿Y la oferta? En 2025 se crearon 240.000 hogares y se terminaron 92.000 viviendas. El Banco de España calcula que faltan 750.000 casas y dice con todas las letras que esto es un problema de oferta, no de demanda. El dato definitivo: entre 1980 y 2010 España construyó tres millones de viviendas más que hogares se formaban. Con la inmigración de los 2000, que fue enorme, se levantaban casas a destajo. Hoy no se construye ni la mitad de lo que hace falta. Esa es la pata que lleva quince años rota. Y luego está lo de la renta "de los pobres a los ricos". Pero vamos a ver, eso es de cajón. ¿Alguien imagina lo contrario, al que no tiene nada alquilándole el piso al rico? ¿Pero qué tipo de argumento es ese? El problema es que ese 10% más rico, en su mayor parte NO es rico. Si ya hemos visto que la mayoría solo tiene una vivienda en alquiler. España es un país de pobres comparado con sus pares. Así que sí, gran reportaje. Gracias por dejar claras algunas cosas que cuando las decimos otros se nos tilda de ultrafachoesfera. Y si 28.000 millones os parecen mucho, agarraos. Hay otra transferencia que va en la misma dirección, de los jóvenes a los mayores, y es siete u ocho veces más grande. Lo contaba un chaval que se llamaba Jon y que era una persona muy incómoda en esta red…

@BlastTrooper3D @PalmyrPar I fully agree that these are worlds apart, and I share your mistrust. The need for clickbaity displays about how important this is only clouds its actual relevance. Yes, they are the oldest in the world, investigators should be content with that, but shouldn't try to compare.

I think the subjective is less important than the need to establish direct connections. I am more bothered by the persistent conflations with the Lascaux, Chauvet and Altamira paintings, which are large, vivid and unambiguous. The fact that they were created by separate groups starkly illustrates that this ability was inherent, not a copied or networked accomplishment. Academic archaeologists in the field of early man have also repeatedly proven themselves to be a highly untrusthworthy bunch. See lack of mention of "ramparts" or "defensive walls" even on the Wikipedia page listing Early Human Settlements.

I don’t think you fully realize the implications of that statement

@BlastTrooper3D @PalmyrPar IIRC they also found some of the instruments they used alongside human remains, further proving authorship. Perhaps the best of them all is the faint silhouette of what might be considered a person to the left of this picture. It's 15 times older than the pyramids and has faded.

@BlastTrooper3D @PalmyrPar I appreciate your reply. I'm not an expert by any means, but afaik the Ardales paintings have been unequivocally carbon dated as the oldest in the world, matching Neanderthal times. I took this picture in there; I'm willing to concede that calling them "art" is a stretch though.

@ecovidrio Dicen "españoles, japoneses, alemanes… estamos del mismo lado" y se olvidan de los italianos 💀

En el fútbol unos ganan y otros pierden. Para cuidar el planeta, españoles, japoneses, alemanes… estamos del mismo lado, de los que cuidan el medioambiente ♻️

@BlastTrooper3D @PalmyrPar Check Ardales Cave in Spain...

@PalmyrPar Neanderthal couldn't throw spears and there are zero examples of neanderthal art. They were also inveterate exocannibals (evidence that they captured, killed and ate out-group women and children). They were different in major ways.
