@RAZ0RFIST Wait... Cernovich.... *CERNOVICH* is telling people to spend some time offline?

Sincerely, —A guy who has never campaigned for a winning candidate. Ever.

@leehagaman1 @SashaGusevPosts It's even more misleading to claim that a prediction hasn't happened yet rather than being false because reality went in completely the other direction.

@SashaGusevPosts It’s very misleading to call a prediction about the future wrong because the prediction hasn’t happened yet. Is it (to date) wrong to claim that the sun will rise on March 21, 2026?

Stumbled upon an interesting debate on AI super-intelligence from 2011. Yudkowsky makes three core claims/predictions, all of which are (to date) wrong: 1) That human intelligence is relatively simple and ASI can be achieved with a few small innovations; ...

Huh, so after being convinced that they were powerless, they just laid down and whined while accepting the negative consequences rather than being ACCELERATED into a kind of UPRISING? Very interesting. Really makes you wonder why there’s so much demoralization around here…

@sappholives83 > and no one would have said a word in protest. Well that's just false. > No one tells non-Jewish nations that they must turn the other cheek after acts of war As is that. Even on 9-freaking-11 it was less than a day before people were saying we deserved it.

I’m just going to say this — had Mexican soldiers invaded across the USA’s southern border on 10/7/2023 to rape and murder their way across part of Texas, then paraded the corpses of dead, naked American women around like trophies for the Mexican civilian population to spit on, by 10/7/2024, Mexico as an independent country would have ceased to exist — and no one would have said a word in protest. No one tells non-Jewish nations that they must turn the other cheek after acts of war. Only Israel is expected to meekly bury her dead; only Jews are supposed to constantly mourn, but never to retaliate; to accept butchery and brutality and bombings as the price they must pay for mere existence — and it has far less to do with Palestinian lives than it does with the age-old European conviction that Jews only exist so that the rest of society has someone to abuse.

People thinking favorably of a Butlerian Jihad is the newest version of pronouns in bio: you know you're about to read some of the dumbest garbage imaginable.

@SandyofCthulhu Don't you mean "just read Dune"? What does "first" mean?

Really you can just read the first Dune book and be fine. The Dosadi Experiment is good too.

@ShamashAran So what would a neko-furry be?

This is your regular reminder that nekos aren't furries.

Arms control experts spent decades echoing each other saying "you can't hit a bullet with a bullet." They crippled American missile defense development and production. They later became part of Team Obama pro-Iran echo chamber.

@SandyofCthulhu Is that a gender-swapped HPL?

It's kind of the whole European ouevre. They always talk about how they are these old nations taking the long view, but I rarely see it in any of their diplomatic or economic planning.

This was a powerful and useful read about the current, tiresome policing of fiction, and my takeaway from it was that modern readers are demanding the secular equivalent of Pilgrim's Progress, an accusation that would probably infuriate a large number of them for entirely the wrong reasons. Also, this part was particularly on point.

The truly delightful thing about the beta so far is how many people are showing up and saying, "I've been a fan for over twenty years, and I'm so glad you're doing something with these aliens again, I love them."

Yeah, I know this is engagement bait bullshit from a European with no clue, but I see this kinda RETURN TO FARM post on X all the time, and it's always some idylic dreamscape of rural niceness, which makes it really fucking obvious to all of us who come from farming backgrounds that these people have zero fucking clue, and would probably end up wrapped around an auger on their first day. News flash. Farming is HARD. What these people are imagining is rural living on a big plot of land, where they've got income from something else, and maybe a couple of animals to keep down the grass and a little garden on the side. That's what I do now that I'm a rich guy. It's pretty awesome. I also know that if I had to make a living off this land I could probably do it (because unlike these weenies, I know how) but I don't want to, because it would absolutely fucking suck. Because in reality making a living off being a farmer is brutal. It's nonstop backbreaking labor where everything that can go wrong, will. And it will go wrong at absolutely the worst possible time. (especially if cows are involved!) Modern squishy internet people do not even sorta comprehend how hard farming is. I worked on dairy farms. I can't speak for the dirt farmers but I'm sure they've got their own set of wacky nonsense they get to put up with. It is LONG hours. I once did a stint opening up a new dairy where I worked 72 hours straight, with a couple of thirty minute naps in a truck or on the barn floor snuck in. There's nothing quite as fun as dealing with fifteen hundred pound animals and dangerous heavy equipment when you're so tired you're starting to see things that aren't there. Oh, and you'd better get real comfortable with blood, shit, piss, and death. Dealing with lots of farm animals is not for the squeamish. They're going to get sick, get injured, get stuck in infuriating and mysterious ways, and die stupidly on you. Every kind of livestock has got its peculiar way of being a pain in the ass. Cows are loveable, curious, stupid, and sometimes homicidal. I've been kicked, trampled, hooked, and smashed into/through fences. These sheltered idiot city people say crap like "go buy a farm" having zero comprehension of how much good farmland costs, or the insane costs of equipment, or livestock involved. If they saw what a good tractor cost they'd shit themselves. "Buy land"... Have you priced land? Oh, you can still buy cheap land, but it's usually cheap for a reason. As in you can't farm it, or it doesn't have water, or it's a nightmare hellscape of windy death. So farming is expensive to get into, hard to make a profit at, and insanely difficult the entire time. Oh yeah, and just when you think you've got it figured out, the government will absolutely fuck with you, because it's also super regulated. Yay. "skip the degree"... Lady, I got into college on an ag scholarship, and started out as an ag science major. Successful farmers are educated because this shit is complicated. (I then changed majors and got an accounting degree so I wouldn't have to pull calves at 3:00 AM, a decision which I have not regretted) These fuckers think farming is just strolling around in a sun dress picking wild flowers or some shit. Oh hell no. Farmers farm because they want to, and the juice is worth the squeeze for them.

@fonics__ @LundukeJournal No, it's the responsibility of Brazil to do that, not mine if I'm running a site.

@LundukeJournal If it's real that's the correct approach. All software and services should just boycott countries which implement such laws.

Can anyone in Brazil confirm this?

We have been doing things consistently for decades fighting against most of the Federal and many of the State governments the entire time, which is why we have successfully fought the grabbers to the point where they are thrashing. The only way you can get to the idea that we haven't done anything is by either perfect ignorance of history, in which case sit down and STFU while the adults are talking. Or the only things you consider "doing something" are being a leftist barbarian, in which case once again sit down while the adults are talking. *blink* Oh, it's *you*. If you were ever in the USMC (doubtful) they probably kicked you out for the blatant and severe mental issues.

@FallOutBoymoder @MorlockP This is just as bad as the original picture. Where is the room to do *anything*? Having a pretty coat of paint and taking the picture at a photogenic time of the year doesn't change that.

@MorlockP the truth is that small somewhat dense towns in pretty areas are just how humans are supposed to live. montpelier vt is genuinely the greatest place ive ever been to and should be the model moving forward

you see this sort of snarky crap all the time, and it's tiresome we're looking at 2,000 square foot houses with heat, air conditioning, full kitchens, 2.5 bathrooms, garages for cars / workshops / storage / band practice, available to all 99% of the world would KILL for this

So he was a typical leftist?

Hating Jews is the laziest position in the world. Instead of confronting the problems at home like islamists raping your daughters, woke/ideological capture that destroys your future, or China literally gutting out your entire economy/industrial base, you focus on a small country fighting what you're afraid to face. The irony is you completely ignore actual genocides and mass killings in places like nigeria, iran, and sudan. Hating Israel is the one issue that unites every failing ideology on earth: islamists, far left activists, and authoritarian regimes. they all agree on this one thing. And you think repeating their slogans makes you a critical thinker. “free palestine.” lmao

@HochaGraitis @planefag Did you know you can buy explosives at the store?

@planefag good luck getting the explosives for these rockets
