@TheIranWatcher A protest or march is not going to achieve anything. This is not a civil rights movement in a civilized nation. Iranians must meet the regime with violence at their homes, bus stops, state offices, checkpoints, and everywhere they can find an advantage.

The moment Iranians know it’s safe to take to the streets, everything changes and the regime will fall.

@teachrobotslove "My SS tattoo and pointy white hat are purely ironic"

None of these people actually worship Satan, but if you were to ask most people why they use Satanic iconography they would say it is ironic or about inverting hierarchical structures or an attempt to reclaim their power in the world or it just looks cool. Okay, why does it look cool? Because it presents the profane as seductive and beautiful. So, in essence, pretending to worship Satan by using his image is not functionally any different than actually worshipping Satan. Many things are like this. The power is not in your belief or consent. It exists within the functional purpose of the thing itself.

@Asst_to_the_RM Coming right up, thankyou for your sacrifice 🫡

@linnyburd @EricG1247 Manning up is what built the country. Guys flaking out during training or a desk job is what we are talking about.

@SauronDeciever @EricG1247 The idea of just "manning up" is 800 percent what is wrong with our country. And like Pierre said they have so many other opportunities. Also I bet you loggers and roughnecks have plenty of PTSD from accidents so....???

Did you do a complete medical evaluation on those individuals? Did service cause or exacerbate a condition based upon reading their entire medical history? Did you figure out their rating after that evaluation while using the ratings schedule? No? Then fuck off

@linnyburd @EricG1247 Do any loggers or roughnecks have "psychotic breaks" from danger that occurs in their jobs? Do any of those guys get a lifetime of income without work? Those guys just man up and put in another 35 years of honest work.

@EricG1247 I hate this. I work w/ Veterans for a living and they are always struggling to get benefits. Also my cousin never deployed but he suffered a psychotic break in training. Hes never been the same. He doesn't get benefits but just because someone didnt deploy doesn't mean their ok.

@EstadidadOmuero @MatrixMysteries Maybe the real snowflakes are the guys who are traumatized as a result of training camps and separation from family.

If you haven't served you are not the one to talk about this. When you serve, the amount of shit you go through is unreal. Start with the psychological, the amount of stress you are put through in the military is so tremendous! You are separated from your family for who knows how long because the mission changes on the fly, you get paid very little for the sacrifice you put your family through, then all the hazards that you face, combat, chemical not necessarily during combat, all the physical training that you have to go through simulating combat conditions, stressing your body and your mind, if you were a paratrooper I guarantee back and joint issues for the rest of your life, if you are special operations that is a bunch of other issues that you will bare for the rest of your life and that is to be combat ready. Maybe you didn't go to combat, but you trained for combat and you always train has you fight. All this is without going to "real" combat. When you go to combat, add all the shit you went through to get ready plus all the hurt, pain, conditions that you will develop during and after combat. So if you are going to dare to talk shit about our veterans collecting disability for voluntarily going through all this shit for your liberal, snowflake ass to complain about our service you better have been in the military and all it takes to have an opinion on how we should be compensated for your freedom. YOU ARE WELCOME!

A married couple revealed their government checks. “$142,000 a year.” From disability. $4,700 a month for her. $7,200 a month for him. What does it say about the system when they’re making more doing nothing than the taxpayers working to fund it.

@RealAngelaMc Are there really "whites only gibs" proposals? Can someone cite some examples?

Groypers wanna turn the right wing into a socialist movement for white people. This is similar to what right wing parties in Europe became. Europe's economics suck. They're behind us economically. We subsidize their militaries. No I don't want to become socialist to own the joos

@marcorandazza Any irreversible punishments need to be approached with caution. Perhaps castration as an alternative punishment would be a win win, saving taxpayers and protecting the public (presuming that it prevents re offense).

Outstanding

@davethul How about a teacher who witnessed a school shooting? Or a factory worker who saw a coworker get crushed by a roll of steel? This stuff happens, but it doesn't justify a life of gibs.

In October 2000, my Guard unit was at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin for annual rifle qualification. During night firing, a young PFC was accidentally shot and killed. If you think there is not PTSD from that night, you are delusional.

@GhostViiii82 @LeighWolf I've never heard anyone suggest that.

@LeighWolf Because someone has an opinion doesn’t mean I have to agree with it or entertain it. It’s not the calling out fraud that’s a problem. I’m all for that. It’s the idea that every single Vet receiving benefits is scamming. Don’t paint with a wide brush.

Veterans telling civilians they’re not allowed to have an opinion about the policies that dictate how their tax dollars are spent because they didn’t serve in the military is among the most toxic things a veteran can say in public discourse.

If anything could "un-sodomize" him, it would be worth millions. That isn't an option. Most importantly, the people that did it should face justice. He needs a recovery period (for which he should be paid), and coverage for any psychological treatment going forward. A life of subsistence is unworthy of a man.

Buddy, I don't even want to talk about it. That young man was butt raped by who should have been his brothers. He's got to get a conciliatory prize or something. Maybe we give him a card that says he never has to pay taxes again. I don't know what the answer is of what you're supposed to do for someone who was sodomized in the forest.

I said what i said. There are special circumstances….but if you didn’t deploy you should not be a 100% for mental health. You know it’s true, I know it’s true, we all know it’s true.

@libbyemmons A low cost version of this was done on Youtube. Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama blamed this video, "The Innocence of Islam", on causing riots leading to the death of the US Ambassador of Libya.

No one would do Book of Muhammad because the entire cast would be massacred along with the production team.

@Careerflex @AdamOLykos What good does a lifetime of payouts do for this guy? Shouldn't he get a job and live a life where he integrates in a productive way with society? And, God forbid, he has a kid who just watches his dad mooch off being a victim.

In 2013, a command investigation came up to my office in 1st Marine Division headquarters which described how a young man was gang raped by his fireteam mates (4 on 1) during a field exercise. We had all deployed two, three, four times and had seen the horrors of war. But we were all speechless at how 4 seemingly normal dudes could get so wrong. The only conclusion we could come to was those 4 would face the full weight of the UCMJ without mercy. That kid never deployed. And I hope he gets a lifetime of payouts.

@Ebw1fz1F @PeterGazdik @Rothmus It was $200k in the video. The point remains, the life of an otherwise typical American is worth more than $800k.

@SauronDeciever @PeterGazdik @Rothmus Why? You are also majorly misrepresenting the numbers here. This number comes from a report pre-1980s, which could well have underestimated the price Ford put on a life. That corresponds to $800,000+ nowadays.

@RobertR38073004 @Rothmus Tort is the best way to address this issue. If Ford calculates that saving a life is not worth X dollars, they should be happy to pay out wrongful death judgements to offset the savings. I do think such cases should form a Class, so the cases can be adjudicated with finality.

@SauronDeciever @Rothmus If I say that I'll design cars so that auto deaths per year is reduced to half a dozen, you might say " Mandate it!" But then I tell you that doing so will raise the cost of each car to $200,000, and no car can go over 30 mph. DON'T try to tell me you'd still mandate it.

@PeterGazdik @Rothmus I take it then that you, I, and the young man in the video are in agreement that saving the life of an innocent American motorist is worth $200,000. That Friedman, who appears to take issue with the young man, is on the wrong side of this issue. y/n?

OK, I see your point now. That really depends on in the kid meant $200K per human life is too low, or if he objected to setting a price per se. I'm leaning the letter, as he went on to describe the formula (as if that was the surprising part) rather than object to the price. Thus Milton's answer makes sense to me.

@PeterGazdik @Rothmus He chides the young man for debating the price, but the price is the issue. What is he doing but filibustering?

@SauronDeciever @Rothmus Money represent resources, which are finite. Nobody would argue to take food away from 10 people for a year and instead burn it to prevent one person from freezing. So he's right, you won't pay unlimited price to save a single life.

@UltimateMacchia @ReviewsPossum Nobody in the field has any problem with this.

@ReviewsPossum Ever calling it "observation" instead of "measurement" has to be the largest mistake ever made in the field

The particle doesn't know you're looking at it. The wavefunction collapses when "observed" because it's impossible to "observe" a quantum system without interacting with it and thus influencing it.

@AnishA_Moonka This may be great. But people (outside and in) of agriculture often underestimate the efficiency of current practices.

Your ground beef costs nearly 20% more than a year ago because US cattle herds hit a 75-year low and ranchers can’t find workers. A New Zealand dairy farm kid convinced Peter Thiel that GPS cow collars are the fix. Thiel just valued the company at $2 billion. The company is Halter. Craig Piggott grew up watching his parents work 100-hour weeks on dairy farms in New Zealand’s Waikato region. He barely scraped into engineering school (scored 254 points, needed 250), landed at Rocket Lab, then quit before their first rocket launch to build smart collars for cows. He was 22. The tech sounds ridiculous until you see the numbers. Each solar-powered collar collects 6,000 data points per minute on location, health, fertility, and grazing patterns. Farmers draw virtual fences on a phone app. Cows learn to respond to sound and vibration cues within 7 to 10 days, moving between pastures without a single physical fence post. Halter’s US customers have created 11,000 miles of virtual fencing so far, roughly the perimeter of the continental United States, saving an estimated $220 million in fencing costs. Physical fencing runs about $20,000 per mile to install and maintain. The timing is what makes this a $2 billion company and not a $200 million one. The US cattle industry generates over $1 trillion a year but it’s cracking. The USDA counted 27.6 million beef cows as of January 2026, still declining. Fifteen thousand American farms vanished in 2025. Over half of US ranchers are older than 55. The labor crunch has only gotten worse under tighter immigration enforcement. This month, 3,800 workers walked off the job at a JBS plant in Colorado (one of the country’s biggest beef processors). Cattle slaughter is down 10% year over year. Founders Fund actually first invested in Halter’s $7 million Series A back in 2018. They’re not showing up late. The valuation doubled from $1 billion to $2 billion in nine months. Icehouse Ventures, one of Halter’s earliest backers, put in $100,000 at the seed stage. Their total stake is now worth $409 million. The fund’s CEO told the New Zealand Herald today that at Halter’s current growth rate, it will surpass Fonterra (New Zealand’s $5.9 billion dairy cooperative) in value within 11 quarters. 600,000 cattle are wearing Halter collars across three countries. The “cowgorithm” is a real, trademarked AI algorithm that trains each animal individually. Ranchers report saving 20 to 40 hours a week. And the kid who barely got into college was just named New Zealand’s Innovator of the Year.
