@OnlyMalarkey @PhilipGreenspun @LauraLoomer I wonder who would’ve won WW2 if the Allies had that attitude.

@PhilipGreenspun @LauraLoomer We aren't at war with the Iranian people, many of whom are indeed on our side. We are at war with the IRGC. As such, destroying all of civilian Iran doesn't serve our interests.

If we really want to be taken seriously when we talk about sending Iran “back to the stone ages” then this is what needs to happen. The US needs to bomb Iran’s: Power & water infrastructure Bank and financial institutions Production/storage facilities for fertilizer and pesticides Every single Islamist/regime “cultural heritage” sites, including every single mosque Natural gas and oil pipelines Kharg Island Civil logistics hubs Courthouses and jails All of these need to be hit. We need to deprive Iran of all the niceties of a moderne day society, and we need to do so now. And then we need to make the people beg on their knees for humanitarian food assistance from the international Red Cross so that the people force Iran to surrender to the US. This is how you WIN wars. Cutis LeMay understood this very well. It’s time to carpet bomb Iran. Force them to their knees. Destroy the infrastructure. It’s the only way.

@_FoxboroForever Surprised Seymour ranks that high, but I guess he was around for a long time.

Top Patriots sack leaders of the Belichick era: Mike Vrabel - 48
Rob Ninkovich - 46
Richard Seymour - 39 Is this surprising to anyone else?

@BarelyOnlineGuy @jerrythornton Then why don’t they show local Patriots games on TV?

@benahirsch @jerrythornton Yes, Stamford is a city in New England like Boston is.

And NYC has two teams in every sport.

@BarelyOnlineGuy @jerrythornton So their championships count for Stamford?

@benahirsch @jerrythornton They aren’t the Boston Patriots though, they’re the New England patriots

@mjsuxbronbetta @navinquisition @jerrythornton The tally should only be teams within the city limit or the entire market.

@benahirsch @navinquisition @jerrythornton Same with state borders. They should remove the giants and Jets as well

@navinquisition @jerrythornton City borders are a different story.

@benahirsch @jerrythornton Not really. Gillette is 34 mins to Boston city hall. Devils stadium is 30 mins to NYC city hall and Islanders stadium is 42 mins away. Depends on what part of the city

@dirtyzickes @jerrythornton Ok, so now we’re eliminating the Patriots because they don’t have Boston in their names. I never knew MSAs defined sports markets. What’s it like being simultaneously pedantic and dimwitted?

@benahirsch @jerrythornton Not true I grew up in NH what you’re referring to is called the “Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA–NH MSA” which is not a real thing anyone talks or cares about it’s absolutely arbitrary and irrelevant because Nashua doesn’t have any pro teams.

Now you care again? You want to count NJ teams if they have NY in their names, but not other teams in NYS because? Maybe you should take a quaalude and relax. You seem really tense and confused. Fun fact: Nashua is part of the Boston metropolitan area, even though it’s in another state. My mind exploded when I heard that too.

@benahirsch @jerrythornton No you’re being fucking obtuse bro it’s not them tristate devils etc. You want to include teams in the NY umbrella that literally have Jersey in their name, thats a stupid argument no matter how you cut it I just don’t fucking care to go back and forth for hours

@dirtyzickes @jerrythornton You stopped caring when you realized how stupid your argument was.

@benahirsch @jerrythornton I don’t really care either way, my city doesn’t need all those teams to have our records stand out

@dirtyzickes @jerrythornton Okay, then we can remove the Jets and Giants. I guess the Bills count because they’re in the same state.

@benahirsch @jerrythornton Imagine thinking sports dynasties are defined by tristates 🤣

@dirtyzickes @jerrythornton Imagine not knowing that it’s called the tristate area. Should we remove the Jets and Giants?

@benahirsch @jerrythornton Imagine not knowing what states are

@_trish_xD People who have a problem with this behavior should not be using C.

malloc(0) is legal C. let that sink in for a second. some compilers return NULL. some return a valid pointer you can't dereference but CAN free(). both behaviors are correct according to the C standard. you can allocate zero bytes of memory, get a pointer to nothing, and then dutifully free that nothing. and the language just shrugs and says "yeah that's fine." this is why C developers have trust issues.

@ChShersh MDY doesn’t really make sense, but MD is superior to DM.

After my recent trip to New York, I finally realised why month-day-year might even make more sense as a date format than day-month-year. This knowledge made me sad.

@NFL_DovKleiman “Held” is the key word. Sumo is predicated on holding. Offensive linemen aren’t supposed to do that.

NFL teams should consider adding Sumo Wrestlers to their offensive lines. He held back Micah Parsons without even trying. Most don’t realize how impressive this is. Parsons is 6-foot-3, 245 pounds 🤯🤯

@Georgesantos You are a public figure (and not for a good reason) who announced you’d shut up if proven wrong. Why not follow through?

People coming out of the woodworks to call me antisemitic is hilarious. I posed a question of whether or not there would be equal treatment of holy cites closure… I said I’d wait and see… I saw and I openly admitted I was wrong and would stop talking about it. Then what followed was a bunch of random people saying the most insane stuff to me… So because I asked a question I have now become an enemy of Israel? That’s not how we build relationships or coalitions…

@StuffWorthSee I went to some awful schools and learned this.

Why didn't our teachers make it this easy?

@Edelman11 Not cool.

Let’s get to work #FoxboroForever

@Alonso_GD Yeah, just look at all the German, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean terror groups.

1979: US intervenes in Afghanistan, creates al Qaeda 1982: Israel intervenes in Lebanon, creates Hezbollah 1988: Israel kills 1st Intifada protesters, creates Hamas 2003: US invades Iraq, creates ISIS 2026: Israel attack Iran, leads to Iranian nuke Worst foreign policies ever

@JUnodos999 @0xSweep Three people with the same address who had identical, unlikely claims would be my guess. I doubt the color of the bear suit had anything to do with it. Black bears are frequently brown. I assume a bear expert would know this.

@benahirsch @0xSweep VOE (version of events) where the insurance company ask for your VOE such as time, place basically a witness/victim statement. If there’s a police report they ask them to confirm if it matches. Guessing the people told them the colour of bear was brown and got caught

4 people collected $141,839 from insurance companies by dressing up as a bear This might be the craziest fraud case of the year One of them put on a bear costume and climbed inside a Rolls Royce Ghost Filmed it and sent the video to their insurance company claiming a real bear damaged the car Same thing with a Mercedes G63 AMG and a Mercedes E350 Three cars Same location 3 different insurance companies An actual biologist was brought in to review the footage He exposed them instantly and said: "That is clearly a human in a bear suit" The reason they got caught? A light brown costume in a state where only black bears exist Police raided the house and found the bear costume and metal meat claws used to fake scratch marks on the leather seats You can't make this up
