@laRealMaquina @benshapiro It's been 2.5 years of endless bombing and a quarter of the population has fled or is dead, most of the buildings have been destroyed, and Hamas is still in power. If you can look at those results and claim that there was a military solution, you are a fool

@RyanLawrence_2 @benshapiro How many innocent people have died, and what is the alternative way to remove Hamas that would result in fewer civilian casualties? In the real world, we make arguments. We don't just ask informationless questions

If you can't see the difference between terrorists who behead babies, celebrate it, and hide behind their own children to avoid consequence, and soldiers who attempt to avoid civilian casualties, you are not "morally sophisticated." You are a fool, and a dangerous fool at that.

@AdamFagusea @RZ_GreatLakes @bankertobuilder Don't speak when you don't know what you're talking about

@RyanLawrence_2 @RZ_GreatLakes @bankertobuilder There are zero places “half an hour” outside of Chicago that are super cheap because it’s raw land with no fiber. Are you fucking stupid? Half an hour outside of Chicago is called the “suburbs” and it’s ultra expensive

Home Depot sells this house for just $43k After buying land, paying for labor to assemble it, getting utilities hooked up, pulling permits, pouring the driveway, setting up plumbing and electrical systems, landscaping, and property taxes, it only costs $497,000 to own your own home Why aren’t more people doing this?

@AdamFagusea @RZ_GreatLakes @bankertobuilder He's talking about half an hour outside of Chicago, not the sahara desert jfc

@RZ_GreatLakes @bankertobuilder And do what, retard? Unless you're a farmer you can't make any money living on a random plot of land in the middle of nowhere. People choose cities for modern amentities and ACCESS to things. Things such as jobs, events, entertainment, high quality people for friends/mates, etc.

@RZ_GreatLakes @bankertobuilder You can call starlink and dial up "broadband" all day long if you want, but it isn't even remotely close to the 2 gig fiber my family needs

The majority of people in US fall into a land trap because they need broadband but that is available now anywhere in US now via Starlink and/or the expansion of wireless. Presuming you have a good water source and can tap it which is 80-90% of US land, then only 3% of current land in US is developed with land to build most anywhere. Areas like CA regulate and strangle affordable building. Right now you can find 1-5 acre parcel of land for $50-100K within 30-45 minutes of the world busiest airport (O-Hare), drop a well and septic and build small or large in exurbs for reasonable money. I could probably find hundreds of good sites or rezone them if needed so its just so many out of position and forced to accept high prices. AI and physical AI will change the landscape as many will be able to locate wherever they want know and how all access and all services.

@greatironchris Damn

Neighbor a mile away decided to burn. Shit turned into my problem. Wtf is wrong with people?

4 irish car bombs and i slept 10 hours and can barely move. This is why i don't drink any more

Tweet to be continued in 1.5 hours

I don't drink often anymore... but i mean, it IS St Patricks day and I am MOSTLY Irish, so this is kind of mandatory by blood...

@Jerseypiper77 Well that's good that it's not likely to be lethal at least. You always hear about people dying from health issues like that fairly young, but tbh i don't think I've ever known someone even reasonably well that it's happened to

Fortunately, it was just for an iron infusion for my tumor removal surgery on Wednesday. The only way they'll know if I have cancer for sure is by taking out the tumor and sending it to pathology. The results they got from samples from the tumor say it's high grade dysplasia, which means it's precancerous. Whatever it is, it's just in the colon. It hasn't spread anywhere else yet. I may not even need chemotherapy depending on the results. I just have to wait and see. Talking to people who have had colon cancer and survived gives me hope.

Someone is ringing the bell because they finished their chemotherapy treatments and everyone's applauding. That was a cool moment. This is what matters, not trivial nonsense that's constantly spewed on social media.

@bitcloud "Operational defiance disorder" isn't real

Rage Against The Machine is a great example of the Leftist pipeline. "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" they shout, in defiance of the "evil empire" Children resonate with this as they relate to their parents taking away their XBox controller. Soon your identity is oppositional defiance disorder, and you've fully projected your own relationship with your father or mother onto the entire world. And there's only one ideology that placates that internal turmoil. Only one group of people who can possibly relate to the antisocial attitude you have. Only one that can reassure you that it's not your own decisions, but the world conspiring against you. Marxism is a masterpiece in grooming, manipulation and collectivised codependence.

@gov_fails I am not being even remotely facetious when I say that i do more work in a week than any UAW member did in a year. It's not even close

@gov_fails Frankly it amazes me that they ever produced a single automobile. It sounded like a prison where 40 thousand people were doing 300 people worth of work

I graduated college right after I turned 21 with a degree in Chemical Engineering. I looked like I was MAYBE 18. My first job was as a Process Engineer in a factory that made molded polyurethane foam seat parts for cars. The factory had been around for a number of decades, and was unionized (UAW). The average seniority of the union workers was 25 years! I was idealistic and assumed everyone went to work to do a good job and help the company succeed. Boy, did I learn some life lessons those first couple of years! As a Process Engineer my job was primarily to make sure the production line kept running and was making “good parts.” A few months after starting I was moved to the second shift (3-11pm), and once management left at around 5pm, the only non-union workers in the building were myself and the Shift Supervisor. I learned that many of the union workers liked to play games with me by stopping the production line in creative ways. I quickly figured out how to solve the problems they created to keep the line running, but there were some methods they used that - because of the union contract - would require a union maintenance man to come “fix” the issue. The maintenance men of course played the game, too, so would take their time when “troubleshooting” the issue so the line remained stopped for longer. I then realized that in most cases I was better off just fixing the issue myself and have the company pay the union for the inevitable grievance that would be filed. Those experiences very much influenced by views of unions. Ironically, a number of years after I had moved on from that factory, there was a proposed union contract on the table - that they were told needed to be accepted in order for the factory to stay open - that was voted down, so the place in now closed, and has since been demolished. Those were interesting times…

@Weinbdb @m7mdkurd The video was literally leaked by a high ranking member of the israeli military. She was arrested for leaking it. It's not "doctored"

@m7mdkurd Yes, dropped for lack or evidence. Posting a doctored video all over the internet doesn't count as evidence if the video is analysed and determined to have been doctored.

Raping. They raped him.

I discovered today that sometimes the only way to get the right answer from GPT is to call it a liar (after wasting half an hour trying nonsense)

@AstroForge We haven't even begun to use a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of 1% of what is in earth. We've barely touched it. We can barely penetrate the ground as is. Earth is 8000 miles through the center and we only mine 5 miles of it

Look around you. The modern world depends on a constant stream of raw materials to function. It’s not just the ones you might think of like oil and iron either. It’s critical minerals that underpin our society like copper, platinum, and lithium. We’ve utilized Earth’s abundance to our great advantage; we’ve taught sand to think, we’ve created metallic alloys that can withstand the punishing heat inside power generating turbines, and we have even smashed atoms together to create and study exotic matter. Through it all, it remains true that continued progress is not assured, though it is often assumed. However, this assumption ignores several key facts. -Ore quality is decreasing; all the easy to get “good stuff” is long gone and we’re not going to suddenly find more. We know what’s out there and we know it’s not enough. -There are a large amount of resources available in Earth's crust, but very little ore. To be clear, the distinction is important. Ore is: economically valuable material that you can actually access and dig up. -We have to continually dig deeper to chase the ore deposits that we have. With the increased depth comes increased cost and danger to workers to the point that mining there becomes untenable. -Shifting geopolitical sands and geological concentrations mean that countries without an indigenous source of the materials they need can be cut off from their supply with little or no warning. -We get exactly one Planet Earth, and we should probably take good care of it. As we dig deeper to get at, and use ever more toxic chemicals and processes to refine natural resources, the environmental costs rise along with the monetary ones. We believe it is our destiny to expand into the solar system and eventually the stars, but we know that humanity is already running up against material constraints on this journey. To sustain an ever growing population, to continue to feed the titans of industry, to ensure a better life for those that come after us, we must look up. We can not continue to tear up our planet to fuel the march of progress, not just because it’s foolish, but also because the planet simply can’t provide what will be needed. Mining asteroids is an immensely challenging problem but it is inevitable and it’s going to happen in our lifetimes. We’re building a spacecraft assembly line, we’re specializing in rapid response missions, and we’ve created a new precision mining approach to resource extraction. Join us as we forge a new path.

@KrimsonKB @JShodanVR That's some straight bullshit. I went to an upper middle class white school and kids would have knifed each other in the parking lot for access to this

I don’t understand. This stuff is real, it exists, you can actually buy it, and yet the VR market is almost dead. What happened to the kids in the 90s who dreamed about this possibility? Why do modern kids now go crazy for games where you don’t really do anything, where at most you just swipe up and down, or spend their time screaming in stupid games that require no concentration, like amoebas with no curiosity? This stuff finally f***ing exists, and yet the videogame market pretends it’s invisible. F***! F***! F***! In 1998, when we were 13 playing Resident Evil 2 on the PlayStation with my friends, we would have killed to be able to play something like this.

@Teddy4630241319 I'm adding rounded glass corner shelves before i sell the house

@RyanLawrence_2 Gorgeous but where are the niches ?

There's no job satisfaction on par with building something truly amazing, and then ripping my clothes off so that i was the first one to get to use it
