At a certain point you simply have to say to the libertarians "no, wrong." An orphaned baby does in fact have the human right not to starve to death in the street. Any form of society that can't guarantee that right is bad.

@TheMagaHulk He reaches more people now than he ever has in history.
All TV numbers are fake and easily 100x or even as much as 10,000x inflated.

Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens reached the peak in popularity the week that Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
That new audience quickly turned away when they realized that Fuentes and Owens despised Charlie.
Fuentes is barely registering now, and Owens will only spike when she brings up a new conspiracy about exploding microphones or Israel being Tyler Robinson's handler.
Tucker Carlson has remained largely irrelevant outside of X, which is why he's becoming increasingly unhinged, hoping to gain some of Candace's crazy audience.
It's shocking this guy went from 4 million viewers a night to now screaming about Trump being the anti-Christ in hopes of gaining traction on Pakistani-X.
Ryan Saavedra@RyanSaavedra
🚨 Tucker Carlson insinuates that President Trump might be the Antichrist: "Is it possible that what you're watching is a very stealthy, yet incredibly effective attack on what, from a Christian perspective, is the true faith, belief in Jesus? ... And is it possible that the president sees this not just in geostrategic terms and military terms and economic terms ... Is it possible the president sees this in bigger terms? Sees this as the fulfillment of something, or the elevation to some higher office beyond President of the United States? That's entirely possible."

@MaxNordau You are Jewish.
There is literally no amount of goyim that could die and no manner of death which you would consider a "genocide."
English
75% of Democrat voters apparently believe that there was a genocide in Gaza.
But there wasn’t a genocide in Gaza.
So you have a large segment of the population believing an insane conspiracy theory.
What happens when a society completely disconnects itself from reality?

Clavicular on why he refuses to talk politics and tells young men to stop wasting time on it
"I influence people and I know that and I know there's a responsibility there. So I'm not going to go around speaking about Iran when I haven't done the proper amount of research. I think about how many years it took me to form a solid opinion on looksmaxxing, and politics I haven't spent nearly the same amount of time."
"If you are prioritizing politics, spending six hours a day scrolling on X reading the news, and you don't even have a job, your priorities are completely fucked. You might be a complete expert on Iran and the war but what the fuck is that gonna do for you?"

@RogerDottin @nicdunz You didn't say you can't code which shows you're functionally illiterate. Since you don't know how to code you don't understand what the AI is doing. It can write very simple programs. Get into anything more complicated and it spits out nonsense.

@DocwelGaming @nicdunz What the hell are you talking about?
I told you I cant code. But now I have a custom made android app. I just told VS code what I want and got it.
What part dont you understand?
You want the github link too?🤦♂️

this makes no sense because intelligent people are using ai and unintelligent people are complaining about it and that implies the ones with brains are the ones that use ai and the ones without brains are the ones that dont

@Kenway881 @fandompulse Capability and competence are already assumed.
The next heir is irrelevant to the conversation.

@DocwelGaming @fandompulse Virtue is not enough to rule. Have you read history ? Despite the king being virtuous and all there was always power struggle at play. Someone wanting to dethrone him or who will be the next heir.

George R.R. Martin explains how his Game of Thrones characters wielding power badly is his answer to Tolkien:
"Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?
Real-life kings had real-life problems to deal with. Just being a good guy was not the answer. You had to make hard, hard decisions. Sometimes what seemed to be a good decision turned around and bit you in the ass; it was the law of unintended consequences. I’ve tried to get at some of these in my books. My people who are trying to rule don’t have an easy time of it. Just having good intentions doesn’t make you a wise king."
What do you think Tolkien would have thought about such comments?

@louisvarge The community note just makes it worse. So, the US had the better design and actively switched to a worse one because the society developed into a low trust degenerate hellscape. Cool.

chinese design, pt. 2: soda cans!
in normal cans, you push a part of the outside metal down into the drink, and it actually touches the liquid
but that metal could’ve been touched by anyone, it was transported in who knows how many trucks, it’s disgusting!
not in china :)
Louis Arge@louisvarge
being in china makes it clear that so much of UI/UX has been extremely contingent. the typical design patterns are really just fashion choices chinese design is very different: - way more features (wechat has chat, pay, train tickets, stories, stocks, rent bikes, healthcare, etc. / the food app will let you translate the menu, which uber eats *still* won’t let you do) - less polish (data loads aren’t as optimized, very few animations, pixels are more plain) - didi does payment *after* the ride, and gives you more flexibility than uber - tables at restaurants have a QR code that opens up chinese uber eats & selects that specific table as the delivery address. from there you can just order to your table instead of talking to a person - payments is done via apps with QR codes, not virtual credit cards with NFT chips. makes it feel strange that Apple Pay just… ported over credit cards to smartphones?? so arbitrary!

@RogerDottin @nicdunz You didn't do this. If you did, it didn't make anything anyone else couldn't have made in the same amount of time. Only people who don't know how to code think AI can actually code. Anything outside of a freshmen introductory course causes it to spit out buggy garbage.

@DocwelGaming @nicdunz This morning I built an android app using AI to manage my side business. I didnt write any code, just explained what I want and asked how I should start. It cost me nothing. Now what were you saying about "no practical uses"?
I used Grok and Visual Studio Code, fyi.

@SirDustyDirks People suck off valve when they are probably the worst, most immoral, greediest gaming company in existence. And it's really not even close.
English
Valve: 350 employees
Epic Games: 4,000 employees
Valve: $17B annual revenue
Epic Games: $5-6B
Valve charges devs 30% of their revenue for simply listing their game.
Epic Games charges devs 0% revenue share on the first $1,000,000
Valve is one of the greediest companies in gaming. You cannot be pro valve and be pro developer at the same time.

To the casual eye, you will see this box score and think, “Wow, this man had an all time great game!” But no? That’s not what actually transpired.
First things first, he shot 42% from the field and 20% from 3, a horrendous scoring night.
Secondly, you have to ask yourself how did he get so many assists. I will tell you. Several simple DHO’s to Jamal Murray who had 53 POINTS, and he FORCED passes to his teammates to statpad. In the 4Q, a female Denver Nuggets commentator stated that Jokic didn’t want to shoot the wide open floater, instead, he wanted to pass and find a teammate. This is shameless stat padding from a person who values numbers over winning.
Thirdly, you see he had 21 rebounds. You must wow, that’s great! But how many were defensive? That’s right, 21! 21 defensive rebounds. Now you had to ask yourself how is this possible. I will tell you. Nikola Jokic does not play ANY defense at all. He does not contest shots (this is why they nearly lost to a tanking team) and stays under the rim PRAYING the opponents miss their shots so he can grab the rebound WHICH ARE ALMOST ALWAYS UNCONTESTED.
So in conclusion, he had a horrendous shooting night, forced passes and made his teammates shoot to get him assists, went back into his non shooting gimmick, and stat padded uncontested rebounds.
This is why we watch basketball with our eyes, and not box scores or mathematic equations.
