@AskJoshy Happy Birthday Joshy! The GOOD OLD Athene days. Still close to my heart and how it has connected us over time :D

Today I am celebrating 40 years on Earth! If you'd like to help make my day, just reply with a distinct memory of something we did together or any specific video or stream you may remember. You may also call me handsome if you just can't control yourself. 😊🎂

Thank you :D It's been super fun and changed the T2/T3 locked part of Discord into a very engaging place and helps build the community aspect more. I'm not a fulltime streamer so keeping engagement can be difficult and I try to bring them along my fitness journey but feel kinda stupid if I work out on stream and to nothingness say "come on CHAT who's getting on the floor with me" lol.

@_Maral That's so thoughtful, wow!

Streamers, do you guys reward your tier 2 and tier 3 subscribers?

@SwiftyiRL Brutal lol

@tripwirebe Hahahaha maybe not that upfront but I definitely chat with people :D and if we connect we exchange contact 😄

@_Maral That's what I ask myself every time I see someone and go to a girl in a bar in a movie and asks their number or start a conversation.... Who does that?

I wonder how life feels if you walk outside and actually engage in intentional conversations with complete strangers every day. Is that something people do? Am I a nerd???

@Sinful_Grim0ire @PatrikLeonheart Sounds like both a dream and a horror.

@PatrikLeonheart @_Maral I can confirm this lol

@ashnichrist @TwitchSupport Why not?

@TwitchSupport This is not gonna work.

A note on our work to combat viewbotting, from CEO Dan Clancy: There’s been a lot of discussion recently about viewbotting on Twitch, and I wanted to share an update on our enforcement efforts. Viewbotting is bad for our business. We don't benefit from it, and we believe it harms the creator ecosystem overall. However, effectively combatting viewbotting is challenging. As we deploy updates to our real-time detection algorithms, viewbotting companies quickly respond with updates to avoid detection. Also, our detection systems must be precise to ensure that legitimate viewers are appropriately counted. Today, we’re introducing a new enforcement type that we plan to roll out over the next few weeks. For channels identified as persistently viewbotting, we will apply a cap to the streamer’s CCV for a fixed period of time, on all of the Twitch surfaces. The cap will be based upon historical data regarding that creator’s non-viewbotted traffic. Repeated violations will result in longer penalties. Streamers will be notified when an enforcement is applied, along with the duration of the penalty, and can appeal through the appeals portal. While streamers will be notified, we will not make a follow-on announcement when we begin issuing these enforcements, and will not publicly share details about when and where these enforcements are applied. Unfortunately, providing details simply makes it easier for companies to work around our interventions. We believe this approach will help us make meaningful progress against viewbotting. We will continue refining our systems and expand when we apply these enforcements over time. - Dan Clancy

This is actually amazing. Great work Twitch. 👏😍

@SalsaTekila Looks great tbh. My mom makes a mix of these types of salads and people who never eat salad love it always

1,215 cal • 109P / 73F / 30C Delicious. Filling. Satisfying. My Asian wife looks at it like it’s roadkill. I will never understand picky eaters.

Today is certainly not just another day in this war. It is a reality check. Iran leveled an entire neighborhood in Arad, occupied Palestine, with a hypersonic missile. Israeli sources themselves admit around 20 buildings were wiped out, with hundreds dead and injured, and bodies still buried under the rubble. When 1,300 emergency responders are deployed to a single strike zone, you are not looking at an "incident", let's put it at that. An hour earlier, Dimona was hit. Multiple buildings destroyed, dozens injured and here is the message: Dimona sits just 9 km from Israel's nuclear reactor. Iran is no longer being subtle. It is saying out loud, next time, we won't miss the real target. Then came the psychological warfare. A warning to Doha aired and then retracted. "A mistake", they said. Maybe. Or maybe it was a message delivered exactly as intended and very well received. And now the biggest shift: Iran officially claims it controls Israeli airspace. This means future missiles will not just land, they will arrive unchallenged. No warnings, no interception, just impact. A direct consequence of systematically blinding the radar shield that once protected it. So basically, Iran will operate exactly the same way Zionist Israel has been operating over Iran, Lebanon and Yemen This is a game changer. Remember when by day 15, Israel and the U.S. were already declaring Iran "neutralized"? Day 23 just exposed how dangerously wrong that lie was. 1. They do not know how many missiles Iran has. 2. They do not know their true range. 3. And judging by the strike near Diego Garcia, which till now Iran has not taken official responsibility for, they have been underestimating it all along. This is a shift in doctrine. You see the holy month of Ramadan is over. In Islam, we are forbidden from "going to war" during that month. Iran was just defending itself. But now Eid Fitr is here, (happy Eid😉) and Iran began to show the aggressors what offensive means. And if this trajectory continues, do not be surprised if the world wakes up to something even bigger, a nuclear test, not as a first strike, but as a deterrent. Because right now, what is unfolding is no longer a contained conflict. It is the early signs of a historic defeat in the making; one that will surpass, Yom Kippur War.

I don't post here often anymore, but damn these Claude ads are great. I'd also be salty if I was Sam Altman 😂

@EsfandTV Don't go to the Flamingo without me 🫠

I’m in Las Vegas and I stopped to ask a Police Officer for directions on my way to CES, and I was actually shocked with what he said to me as I’m walking away… “So wait… are you playing Burning Crusade?” wtf kind of question is that? Of course I’m playing Burning Crusade!!!

Notice this feeling for a lot of the more intelligent people lately. The world is changing very fast with AI / leaps of tech-advancements. It's depressing to know that the value/impact you can add or have in the world is getting replaced (at large or in your area of expertise). I don't know about you, but the moments I've felt best is when I know I've contributed to the betterment of something (whether it comes from being competitive or not). With the limited chats we had, it seems like that is something you embody wherever you go too, in your own ways. I just fully pivoted towards working on ASI for the limited time my simple intellect still matters, and while depressing, the alternative is far more depressing 😅.

Been kind of depressed recently not really by price action (set for life regardless) or anything else but a real time realization of my personal regression to the mean in a lot of things. Space is far more competitive than it was before, as a competitive person, can just feel myself not making incremental improvements in anywhere for quite some time. Still probably one of the best traders here but can just feel most of the ideas and strats being over simplistic and dated by the day. Don’t care enough to network for venture deals anymore. Good news is I got all the time in the world to figure something out.

@anniefuchsia SO CUTE

My dad barely speaks English but still wanted to watch the Streamer Awards since he knew I was on it He was so proud he started recording on his phone 😂🥹❤️

@RelicKris I need to know how you power your Starlink for long streams and how you mount him in your bag 🙏😅 i have so many questions during Dreamhack

For many years, felt restricted in where I could stream. Thankfully starlink has unlocked awesome places like Meteora in Greece, plus the drone has made my streams epic!

@emeelzia I wish I had this willpower ;__; inspiration!

I’ve felt like crap the last few days thanks to my pmdd/endo BUT I forced myself into the gym and feel super accomplished!! Great workouts, didn’t let the pain and hormones stop me. Let’s go!!! 💪🙂‍↕️

@BrianRoemmele Guess they weren't very intelligent after all.

I’ve had many conversations with very intelligent folks about this issue. Too many think this way: “I don’t care what country wins at robots. What difference does it make to me?” I’ll ask the question again when they look out the window and there’s 1000 of these in the street.

@CookSux @XueJia24682 @grok Guangxi province is soooo beautiful

@XueJia24682 @grok what is average yearly income in China where this property is located?

✨🇨🇳This is a fourth-generation residential property in China, with a complimentary extra-large balcony. Priced at 1.3 million yuan (approximately 183,200 USD at today's exchange rate), it has a usable area of around 200 square meters. What do you think of a house like this?
