useless idiot

@TrashPanda08x the gta iv swingset glitch remains one of the funniest and most entertaining things in the history of video games. you’re entirely correct

You can't convince me that a video game breaking with objects being flung everywhere isn't the funniest thing ever.

@zaa2ir @Kimbo_Sabbi @OunkaOnX well, it’s not a flag, but a cone made to look like a furled flag, like these: they’re atrocious and increasingly ubiquitous in political settings.

@Kimbo_Sabbi @OunkaOnX Its the flag.. i thought that stupidity was an American thing but seems like it’s spreading

Qatar's PM: "This war needs to stop immediately. Everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is." Qatar's PM told the world, this war serves someone's interests. And that someone is not in Tehran, Washington, or Doha — it's in Tel Aviv.

@Rothbard1776 this should be a mandatory camera angle - we must stop the usage of those stupid fake flag cones

Tough camera angle.

@MusicOfOldGods @skdh “nothing we can build with” yes, you and your ilk are hostile to the concept of knowledge and scientific advancement for the sake of knowledge and scientific advancement. a fundamentally anti-human position

Both sides are right about the wrong thing. Yes, the LHC found the Higgs. Yes, measurements matter. But here's the uncomfortable question nobody's asking: what did finding the Higgs actually unlock? A particle that lives for 10⁻²² seconds and tells us nothing we can build with. Confirmation of a model we already had. A $1.3B year receipt for knowing we were right. Come on! Elon's point isn't that instruments are useless. It's that the feedback loop broke. Discovery stopped generating technology stopped generating new questions. That cycle is what built everything from the transistor to the laser... and it quietly died somewhere between the completion of the Standard Model and the third generation of supersymmetry papers that predicted nothing. Nothing! The real problem isn't hardware. It's that the theory underneath stopped being generative. A framework with 19+ fitted parameters is a lookup table. Lookup tables don't surprise you. What surprises you is when a single geometric axiom... no fitting, no free parameters... starts deriving gravity, particle masses, the fine structure constant, and predicts material properties at millisecond speed as a side effect. That's the feedback loop Elon is missing. Not AI. New physics that actually generates new questions. Coming soon...

he's entirely right of course. even if you think he is wrong, at the very least physicists should think about why everyone else agrees they've lost the plot.

@AbrahamWongHXR @FortIS_55 NATO voted internally to bomb Yugoslavia. What vote was held for Iran? Iraq & Afghanistan were the result of the US invoking Article 5 after 9/11. When was Article 5 invoked for Iran?

@FortIS_55 Yugoslavia Afghanistan Iraq All of them are offensive NATO wars.

Americans when members of a defensive alliance say no to an offensive war

@JeremiahDJohns i mean this person probably also thinks that “[space buddho-]muslims are capable of being radicalized and used to commit horrible atrocities in the name of religion” is racist too

Person reading To Kill a Mockingbird: "This is a really racist book, the jury's conviction makes no sense and is only because Tom is black"

@biggieU_U most of the time when Arcade or Raul or Veronica makes a comment like that it means you’ve earned a point towards triggering their quest

I'm not sure if her comment on the size of the NCR is deliberate or just great timing with unlocking her quest lol

@FloridaManV @HeerJeet well, surely if that’s the case, israel comporting themselves in a manner that doesn’t lead to global vilification would be of paramount importance to both Israelis and the diaspora; instead of actively relishing & celebrating the deaths of children and rioting to defend rapists

@HeerJeet Basically, if you are unaware that evil exists that will slaughter and kill every Jew if it is allowed...

Basically, if you were born after the Eisenhower presidency, you will have a negative view of Israel.

good thing they didn’t make any wildly presumptive decisions like renaming the whole company after a now-defunct product

@VGD099 @tranz_schubert America’s id, personified

@tranz_schubert what about the beach boys

if led zeppelin is unc slop, while steely dan is unc gem, then the beatles is auntie goonbait

@JagoSev8 @pegobry_en 45 years of trickledown economics utterly failing and your strategy is “well we’ll just tell the american public to trust in trickledown economics!”

@JagoSev8 @pegobry_en once again, you think the American public is going to buy the horseshit argument of “you, the American consumer, must pay more money for gas and this is good because it means Exxon’s CEO gets a bigger bonus” and think it’s a winning message.

Usually there’s a small lag between the Ameritard’s "How dare you not help us" and his "There’s nothing you can do to help us", seeing it in the same tweet is is wild

@JagoSev8 @pegobry_en “pay more at the pump for the CEO of Exxon’s new yacht” is going to be a winning message for november, I’m sure.

@asksomeone_else @pegobry_en American oil corporations that employ thousands upon thousands of Americans and pay billions in taxes? American oil corporations who every American with a stock portfolio, IRA or 401k is invested in? Yes.

@JagoSev8 @pegobry_en if by “us” you mean american oil corporations as opposed to the american public, sure.

@asksomeone_else @pegobry_en It is *traded* globally. The US does not rely on importing oil for consumption though, Europe *does*. We sell oil, so a lower domestic price than prices abroad is actually better for us.

@JagoSev8 @pegobry_en oil is a global commodity. supply shocks in the gulf impact the price of oil everywhere.

@asksomeone_else @pegobry_en Your handle is fitting. Supply and demand? From where? You realize the US is a net exporter of oil, correct? The oil that we do buy is because of our unique refinery structure we resell for profit. We are energy self sufficient and currently importing from Venezuela even more

@JagoSev8 @pegobry_en -guy who has never heard of the concept of “supply and demand”

@asksomeone_else @pegobry_en Okay, cool. We do not care. It's your oil supply, not ours. Protect it or not it doesn't effect us.

@JagoSev8 @pegobry_en “we caused a gigantic mess and because you’ve been impacted by the gigantic mess we caused you now have to help us clean it up” no, they really don’t.

@pegobry_en Because you were not asked to help us, you were asked to protect your own shipping lanes YOU depend on, not us. It's shocking you dont understand the difference here. Europe refused to protect its own citizens regionally and now its own energy supply.

@VoxDemosthenes @SJTM33 @planefag besides, trump’s already cut funding to ukraine. what are you going to do from here?

@VoxDemosthenes @SJTM33 @planefag did Europe sign some sort of agreement to join the US in the event of a war of aggression against Iran? because the US pledged to provide aid to Ukraine in the event they were invaded.

So basically NATO is we defend you for free and you tell us to eat shit every time we need help? Oh right you sent some troops that never left the wire to Iraq so all debts are paid forever, past and future. Fuck this noise.

@_Morrolan_ @AryaBahiaa nah that’s always been a red herring

@AryaBahiaa Also Dany who was supposed to train in Asshai-by-the-Shadow

The real reason GRRM scrapped the time jump is because Arya and Bran would’ve been too OP
