@JucheAffirmer Someone belatedly agreeing with you is a good thing especially because they "give permission" to their side that you can change your view on X without losing the rest of your identity
Even if they are just chasing the wind that's still good you want people promoting your view!

This is just ridiculous. I'm tired of these retarded nostrums you're supposed to buy into just to maintain your tribal identity in American politics. All democrats are murderous communists. All rightoids are satanic wife-beating misanthropes.
It's so goddamn tiresome.

I’ve come around on this a bit to your position Tucker/Mtg/candace types definitely knew Israel + the territories were a de facto apartheid state/ghetto for decades. But Israel’s accelerationist conduct in Gaza broke containment into mass repulsion of Israel. Popular take sellers like Tucker want to harness that into what? Candace and Tucker say harness that repulsion and vote for….. Vance? A guy who would be a run of the mill lawyer if if not for his parasitic benefactors in defense tech that brought us to this point?

This is a deeply political article, though the word "politics" isn't used. Over the course of centuries, a long series of (almost entirely) brilliant white male mathematicians developed modern mathematics in an incremental process, including calculus.

@RadarFennec In ww2 the Japanese had beehive rounds for the 18inch (460mm) Yamato
So it's really not a novel idea or a good use of main guns
English
They show it aiming, they show what it is aiming at, and they show it shooting.
But they do not show what the effect on the target is.
Also air burst rounds for 120mm tanks has been a thing since DM11 came out in 2009.

⚡🇫🇷 France turns Leclerc tank into giant anti drone shotgun in live test France has adapted its Leclerc main battle tank into a powerful anti drone system, using a modified 120mm shell that disperses over 1,100 tungsten pellets to take down aerial targets. In a live test in Abu Dhabi, the system successfully destroyed a drone, proving a simple but deadly concept: instead of building a new weapon, upgrade an existing one. The idea reflects how modern battlefields are rapidly evolving, where even heavy tanks must now counter cheap, fast moving drone threats. 🇫🇷 From tank killer to drone hunter, the battlefield is changing fast.

reminds me of the shinto priest blessing the first japanese domestically produced F-35 at the mitsubishi factory. we have a sacred reverence for our machines, channeled through designated tech priests. we are closer to the adeptus mechanicus of 40k than we might think.

There is no way to tell a woman you have zero interest in their political philosophy that doesn’t bar the door to sexual intercourse shut forever. They just want you to affirm whatever dumb thing they believe anyway, it’s not as if they crave a robust debate or something

@memeticsisyphus If you want him looking powerless have him calling for his supporters or sercet service to help and they all stand back and do nothing
For homelander realising that not a single person liked him they just liked his power would be crushing and thematically very appropriate
English
This again is the problem with the writing. It’s not an exploration of a character or a truthful sketch of the character. It’s people like Pedro drawing a meme of his political rivals in a compromised position. “Haha don’t you look dumb.” It’s shallow puerile and false.
Pedro L. Gonzalez@emeriticus
@memeticsisyphus It's actually perfect, and you're mad because he depicted just how pathetic and cowardly you losers are in Homelander

@uncledoomer By definition they didn't the boomers are all ww2 or younger babies
Their earliest memories are the 50s and 60s not the 30s
English
the baby boomers parents grew up in the depression, and gave the boomers themselves a completely broken sense of time preference, because they were taught scarcity in their youth but reached adulthood to find complete abundance. its not the boomers fault theyre fucked up
Slumdog_Chillionaire@SlumRNA_Dog
“No, you don’t understand, boomers are actually really frugal, they never eat out and always pack a lunch, they definitely never do anything stupid with their disposable income, also their houses are full of consumer products that they’ve hoarded over the years for some reason.”

@HMSHOWmozart @CarolinaLion2 That would be a compelling pitch if America or Australia were still in their frontier roots
Instead they're high tax countries who extract trillions from workers to give to every other special intrest and if you ask what do I get out of losing 1/3rd of my income
Nothing

@JessicaBones10 @CarolinaLion2 If you’re referring to me you’re wrong, my stance isn’t “own nothing and be happy” my stance is “no one is going to give you anything so figure out how to get it for yourself or shut the fuck up”

Hey idiot, this might come as a surprise to you but people support leaders and political movements that promise to make their lives better. If you offer me nothing for my support you are not getting it.

@MostlyMonkey Also you pick who you marry

You should be getting married before you have any money, tbh

Do people really usually just straight up share all their money when they get married? What if your spouse just blows it all? Then you gotta get a divorce and have no money?

@AngelicaOung @FT FT has been very unreliable on Russia-Ukraine in particular in part because of their viewpoint but also the sources who speak to them
The British media has a deep hatred and fear of Russia which is normally reserved for people who lived through soviet rule
English
Is it just me or is @ft’s credibility taking multiple hits of late? Being slippery if not outright unreliable with quotes.
Zhai Xiang@ZhaiXiang5
x.com/ZhaiXiang5/sta… Trump denied it. China's Foreign Ministry denied it. Yet the FT narrative is already everywhere. Same pattern as their misleading China poverty-alleviation story: hide the reporter's identity, publish first, ignore fact-checks later. I wrote a detailed response and reached out politely to the fake news generator-total silence.

@TheMindScourge First class pods are nice because they're well taken care of
Who wants a lift in a robo taxi which just had a drunk throw up or someone spill a drink
People also like owning things so why would I use the communal car when my car is at home ready to go?
English
Self driving cars are like first class pods on airplanes. Very clearly that this is the future wherever possible. Vastly superior to any other transportation option over any distance at all
You don’t have to deal with anyone. You have your own private bubble of space that you control as you want. You can watch movies, do phone, post on X, read, sleep, work, watch the world scroll by your window.
You summon it from your phone. It just arrives. You don’t have to deal with train or bus schedules. The world conforms to you rather than the other way around. A large part of time spent in public involves you conforming to the presence of other people. That goes away with a robotaxi. You can just be yourself
Now, I don’t know what the world looks like if everyone gets their own pod. Driving was incredibly liberating when there were only a few cars on the road. Imagine how good it would have felt at the helm of a powerful motor when car ownership was only 1 or 2 per 100 people. But then mass manufacturing and mass affluence put a car - or two - in every driveway, and the environment changed. Driving ceased being a dimension of freedom and transformed into a constraint and an imposition (but a necessary one).
A world full of truly autonomous vehicles looks very different from the present. A lot of drives aren’t taken place presently because there’s a time tax on using on the car. While you drive, you can’t do something else. It sucks the life out of your day. You lose minutes and hours to this machine. So you avoid it if you can.
But if the car drives itself, you can do other things. All this time comes back into your life. Plus no one can reach you there. So you’ll find yourself looking for opportunities to go driving. It’s time to yourself, for yourself.
Not to mention that business will quickly adapt to autonomous cars. The last mile problem goes away when you can just send your car to the grocery store to pick up your shopping. The weekly shop goes away, too. That’s a pattern for a world where you bundle trips to reduce your total driving time. But you can send your robotaxi to the grocery store everyday. It’s not taking time away from you: it’s adding time instead. It’s like you just got a full time servant. You’ll send it out to get a Starbucks on a whim. No need to leave your house.
When tens of millions of people get access to this simultaneously, the social context of driving is fundamentally changed. It puts a lot more cars on the road, or at least a lot more trips. Maybe you can do it more efficiently by hiring cars rather than owning your own vehicle, which keeps down the total number of cars. I don’t know. But it will be so convenient, so desirable, that politicians and regulators won’t be able to stand in the way.

@CarolinaLion2 How would you feel if you couldn't access motor oil?
But I had an oil change last week
Supply chains are the breakfast question for ideologs

I remember talking about this a few days ago and I got comments like "I just changed my oil and I had no problems and it didn't cost more then last time." People on here have no concept of logistics or time.
