@dbongino > More than 3,000 people were killed throughout Iran during the war, Iran's forensic chief told state media ‌on Thursday. And now we are back where we started, with hundreds of billions of tax dollars down the drain. Yes, we absolutely got 'outsmarted'.

So weird how the Media/Swamp class, who’ve been wrong for generations on geopolitics, keep getting outsmarted by a guy they dump all day as their intellectual inferior. And next they’ll claim it’s all “luck.” It’s not. Regardless, I’d rather side with someone “lucky,” who wins, rather than zeroes who are unlucky, and lose.

@followgrubby @MegaCrit Because that's their opinion? If you are attracted to the RPG and open world aspects of Elden Ring, but give up because you don't enjoy dying over and over again, then you review it negatively. Saying "just play something else" is just a dodge that doesn't engage with the review.

When a game is designed with some intentional difficulty like Slay the Spire 2 from @MegaCrit or Elden Ring, why do some people review it negatively because it’s hard or a patch made it harder. Without challenge there is a different allure; there are games that auto win for you..

@CryptoMikli The obvious problem with this: what if someone serves for 3 years, from 20-23 years old, actually gets a serious disability. Do they get a pension for life? It seems under Caleb's system the answer would be no, which seems quite cruel.

Caleb Hammer explains why the VA disability system should be changed because too many people are manipulating it “Let’s reconstruct it so that if anyone served, we give them a permanent pension forever. Let’s not call it a disability, because people immediately misconstrue it, get coached on it, and completely abuse the process” “There are a lot of people who are suffering and experiencing real disabilities, but I’ve been digging deep, and we’ve had so many false examples on this show. So instead of having this system that’s so easy to abuse, like any other disability system, I’d rather have people go through their entire service and then receive a pension for life” “The only way to make any kind of social system sustainable, and actually provide it to the people who need it, is by making it sustainable”

@DEAADSEAA Yeah it totally makes sense that poison is weak to ground. Whenever I see a venomous snake in real life, common sense is to throw some sand at it.

The Pokemon type chart makes sense so for people to not know it just fries me because why do you not have common sense

@nestapendragon So it's literally a worse Exploration that only lasts a single turn, and requires you to get lucky with what lands your opponent has in play? I'll pass.

this is just a fun weird tip. Retraced image says ANY permanent in play, not just yours. So if someone else has a Nyxbloom Ancient in play, you can drop your own Nyxbloom Ancient for 1 blue mana. Or whatever. Or just play an extra land, that's what I usually do.

@trashh_dev I paused it a fraction apart, and he '67'ed twice (once with each hand, so arguably only a single 67). The counter went up by 9.

yeah that number couldn’t be more wrong

@HuubBellemakers Een van de meest frustrende 'trends' op Twitter van dezer dagen die ik wel vaker zie. Pure clickbait, en op iedere comment laconiek of ironisch reageren. Ik vraag me af dit met de 'revenue sharing' vanuit X te maken heeft, of dat deze persoon zich gewoon verveeld.

Ik zou het brood uit 2019 niet meer opeten. Verder ook: domme onzin

@preshtalwalkar Presh Talwalkar here, not knowing that multiplication is commutative. You are really reaching, to score some 'technically correct' internet points, while missing the forest for the trees.

The teacher is 100% correct here. This is based on thousands of years of tradition going back to Euclid and Euler. The prior question indicates the lesson was to follow directions of a specific definition of multiplication of natural numbers. youtube.com/watch?v=6XoMlQ…

@rinusredpill Die Turkse slager zou ik met man en macht ontwijken als ik jou was. €6 is bijna de helft van hoeveel het bij de Aldi kost. Als het zó goedkoop is, vertrouw ik echt niet dat het ook maar enigzins kwaliteit heeft.

Bij Eerlijk Eten kost kipfilet €24 per kilo. Mijn Turkse slager zit rond de €6. Zo’n prijsverschil vind ik compleet losgezongen van de realiteit. Mensen betalen hier vooral voor marketing, gevoel en een net verhaal. Ik vind dit absurd duur, maar dat is mijn persoonlijke beoordeling.

@homestarronny @ArmedJ0y I really hope for you that you are trolling. Because if you're serious, this is like the dictionary definition of Dunning-Kruger effect (for the record, the problem says: exact distance. Using mapping software, we can calculate the exact distance between any two points on earth)

@ArmedJ0y I love how dumb cunts (who think that they are the smartest cunts) think that that red dot is this nice little area. Barely 1 metre by 1 metre. You would have to be the most stupid cunt imaginable to think that the box is right there, super easy, barely an inconvenience

Lol?

@akarlin The US has wasted billions of dollars, and has achieved nothing but global economic damage. In what world is that not a crushing victory for Iran?

The problem is that Iran's demands are absurdly maximalist: * Permanent Hormuz tolls * Reparations * Unblock frozen assets * No restrictions on uranium enrichment * Ceasefire includes Lebanon It's what you would only reasonably demand after a crushing military victory!

@AndreasSteno X: Masterful gambit, Mister Trump.

Trump just flipped the Strait narrative from open it to block it, turning it into an Iran versus the rest of world pressure test while oil flows still hold around 80% of normal. But the real constraint is structural: Iran cannot push Hormuz too far without hitting China’s red lines, since Beijing is the dominant buyer and can either enforce discipline or accelerate bypass routes like pipelines and overland corridors. That creates leverage, but it is asymmetric. If Iran overuses it, it loses it. Clever move by Trump, in my opinion!

@Uzothemaverick1 @Mayoveli I love how we're now accusing THE POPE of not properly reading the bible. Like, do you think the pope hasn't read the bible? my dude?

@Mayoveli The problem is that you guys don't read the bible so you can't tell when a so-called cleric is wrong. God is described as a Man of War in Exodus 15:3. Even Jesus Christ at one point when talking about Himself said He came to bring a sword amongst other things in Matthew 10:34.

You’re a Catholic telling the Pope to stay in his lane because he’s advocating for peace? At this point, many of you would probably choose Trump over Jesus himself. It reminds me of that saying that if Jesus Christ were to return today, many modern Christians would be the very ones to crucify him again.

@ProxyFreak If someone says "Wolfe Glicke is the best VGC player ever", they are either a youtube viewer who doesn't know any other VGC players, or someone who has carefully weighed all the options and still considered Wolfe to be on top.

You can tell a lot about a persons VGC knowledge from the way they talk about Wolfe Glicke

@WallStreetApes "How is this legal?" It's legal because Yellow 5, Blue 1, etcetera, are totally safe in small doses, and this guy is totally lying and fearmongering about 'processed food' and the 'blood brain barrier'. (yes the calories are still insane of course, but no reason to outlaw that)

This is so insane “Crumbl Cookies is now selling a cookie with the amount of sugar you would get, not in 1, not in 5, BUT 11 of these Krispy Kreme donuts” This one cookie has 69 ingredients including one that crosses the blood brain barrier How is this legal??

@krystalball You are doing the exact same thing. You are complaining about some peripheral issue while Trump threatens a genocide. Why is it okay for you to post about Democrats, but not ok for Obama to post about basketball? Neither of you are addressing Trump.

It’s crazy making to see these former presidents chiming in to talk basketball while Trump threatens a genocide.

@EndgameaiChess Hikaru not beating the 'terrible coworker' allegations... You are the number 2 player in the world. If you can't handle your opponent castling, your team needs to get a better chess player to work for.

🇺🇸 Hikaru Nakamura after his loss to 🇺🇿 Javokhir Sindarov: “I can’t be mad at myself for this one.” Nakamura said the mistake came down to preparation: “This is 100% on the people who are working for me… my file didn’t have the move castles.” He added that castling was “such a human move” that when Sindarov played it, his reaction was: “What is this?” According to Hikaru, it felt almost impossible to work it out over the board without already knowing the idea.

@DianeNorms @SilencedSaxon Yeah I assumed he was just your average MAGA idiot, but apparently he hates Trump because Trump is .... not far right and anti-immigrant enough. Like, this dude actually should move out of the USA and to Russia or Saudi-Arabia or something. Much closer to his values.

I want a dictator. Fuck democracy.

@SilencedSaxon > So called "conservatives" when their daddy wants to violate the constitution: (Also, obvious question, would you be okay if Biden had become a dictator and started ignoring the constitution?)

@PeterMeijer Ok, so people close to the white house are... wrong about NATO? You realize it's not surprising to us that the white house is wrong about something? If you and Israel start fucking around in the middle east, and some USA soldiers are killed, that has never been covered by NATO.

It would behoove our NATO allies to appreciate that this sentiment is *very* widely shared, including amongst erstwhile boosters of trans-Atlantic relations.
