@emmincipator @CryptoMoe6 Mexican food in Mexico is trash it’s honestly better in America
English
Eastern Europe > LATAM
So many expat / nomad types are always shilling LATAM when Eastern Europe is better in basically every regard
> Significantly safer
> Much better infrastructure
> Better food standards
> “western sensibilities” so to speak
> better architecture
> more walkable
> better technology
> better health care
> superior history and culture
All that while the price of a GREAT EU capital city (think something like Tallinn or Riga) is the same price as a good capital city in LATAM (think something like Buenos Aires)

@VERYKOOLLUKEY @CryptoMoe6 a single neighborhood in cdmx would clear the entire eastern europe ito food

@CryptoMoe6 no way its literally seed oil slop thats why most of them are obese compared to europe

I won’t rest until 100% of Canadian provinces are above the Canadian average
Charles Lammam@CharlesLammam
7 of 10 Canadian provinces fall below our national GDP per capita $59,529. Most concerning is that Ontario and Quebec - the two most populous - are among them. Hard to improve national performance when the provinces home to over 60% of the population are in this position.

@buildwithsid millions of ppl navigate amazon on pure motor skills at this point, why would you mess with it

@JamesBorow It is delusional to think sw of the complexity of Shopify can just be recreated with a small team of devs and llms. Even if you managed to create an mvp version of it, it would cost you more to operate then just using Shopify and focusing on what matters.
English
Shopify isn’t really SaaS. It’s a headless walled garden of APIs whose real value is the business logic, operational workflows, payments, and ecosystem embedded deep in those APIs over time.
People dramatically underestimate how hard that is to recreate. You can’t just vibe code your way into replacing it.

This ain’t Europe it’s Faisalabad ( Punjab) kudos to Punjab government

yea bro Ima need to see some footage of Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game NOW

@internpierre some valid points here but Europe should be concerned that it’s behind in software. sw is creeping into most heavy industries and it’s starting to kneecap EU. I’m not even mentioning AI which is energy-dependent and only a handful of EU countries are well positioned.
English
The WSJ wants to know "what happens when Europeans find out how poor they are."
I'm a European running a family office / living in Monaco. Let me run the numbers for Joseph Sternberg.
Spoiler: per-capita GDP is the most misleading stat in this entire debate.🧵

@NikolaJokiclove they’re forcing him to pass the ball but he has such a great team around him that it does not matter this series. doubling him can cause problems for them in the next rounds though
English
SGA has arguably been the 5th or 6th best player this series
English
@JonesOnTheNBA honestly they could let some guys go and still rule. very deep roster with more 1st rounds coming
English
People that hate the Thunder should love the 2nd apron lol. It’s coming for them too
English
@AndrewDBailey there is no way lakers are beating this team but they’re setting the groundwork with refs and defending sga for the teams next rounds
English
The OKC whistle getting the Lakers spotlight could ultimately be good for the NBA.

@emmincipator @thedeadcentrex @woke8yearold "wahh wahh turbines and trains are 20th century" 😂 but it's cool when China does it, right? European industrial base is much stronger than American. It is what it is.
English
This sort of nonsense is exactly why the Europoor discourse is necessary. They actually think Europe is richer than America despite having been stagnant since 2008, missing fracking and tech, having less dynamic economies in general, etc. They live in a delusional fantasy world
Бианка@BiankaB12
The "europoor" discourse migrating from terminally online Twitter to the WSJ op-ed is actually a big tell. When a narrative stops being a meme and becomes establishment messaging, it means the establishment needs it. You simply don't reach for "but Europe is poor!" unless your domestic numbers have become very hard to spin for the citizenry. Millennials and Gen Z have no memory of American prosperity - you can't revive the American dream, because they never lived it. And if they ever compare their median household situation to, say, Denmark or Belgium, the math is simply not mathing. Just go with the truth (for once!) and admit the U.S. has been run as an economic extraction zone for a narrow class of people, and the bill is now coming due. Pointing at Europeans won't make average Americans grocery bill or insurance premiums go lower.
English
@thedeadcentrex @woke8yearold Honestly Europe traded future generations’ prosperity for most of those things (besides parental leave which is genuinely great). Europe’s still able to coast on mid-20th century industrial success but it’s greatly behind in tech. The future is US vs China.
English
The average European doesn't think they're richer than the average American. Most Europeans value time and peace of mind, not money. We've traded GDP chasing for 6 weeks of vacation, paid parental leave, an extensive social safety net, very affordable healthcare and university (sometimes free/general taxation funded).
Mad respect for the American work ethic and economic output, but our perspective on "rich" is different.

Do you understand what Cloudflare just did..
They make $640M/quarter..
They're growing fast..
And they fired 1,100 people anyway..
AI usage inside the company grew 600% in 90 days.
So 20% of humans - gone. By email..
And they're not alone:
→ Meta: 8,000 fired
→ Amazon: 16,000 cut
→ Salesforce: 4,000 deleted
→ Block: headcount cut in half
→ PayPal: 4,760 gone
161,000 tech workers lost their jobs in 2026.
Nearly half - directly because of AI.
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: Cloudflare lays off 1,100+ employees through email as it restructures for the “agentic AI era.”
English
The confounding factor is that virtually every big company is overstaffed by 2-4x and has been for decades. AI is the catalyst/excuse to finally fix that. Of course nobody wants to say this out loud.
rohit@krishnanrohit
One bearish sign of all the AI layoffs is that the companies couldn't figure out how to produce even more by keeping the people and adding AI. I'm not entirely sure how to think about this.

Is This Canada’s Most Depressing City? | Inside Edmonton, Alberta
Many say Canada’s fifth-largest city is say is falling apart.
So we flew there to find out.
What we saw and heard were some of the most shocking things I have come across in my career as a journalist.
English
@alanfryermedia imagine being a growing economy whose entire survival is based on 2 week’s supply of oil and caring about low emission production. Canada needs to boost production and reinvest that money wisely. no other way out
English
I believe what Carney is saying here is flat out untrue.

Mark Carney responds to the CEO of Cenovus saying Canada is uncompetitive.

@Garnet_2203 Corporations can control wages because of our endless immigration input. Immigration is a net benefit to Canada but it has to be controlled, and on our terms.
English
Canadians aren’t struggling because newcomers exist. They’re struggling because wages haven’t kept up with housing, groceries, utilities, and corporate profits for years.
And it’s ironic hearing this from Jamil Jivani when his own family immigrated to Canada his father from Kenya and his grandparents from Scotland and Ireland.
Blaming immigrants is the oldest political distraction in the book. The real question is: why are ordinary families working harder than ever while billionaires and corporations keep posting record profits?
Jamil Jivani@jamiljivani
Liberals don't care it is getting too expensive for you to start a family. Instead of helping you, they are planning to bring even more people into our country. I think this is crazy, text AGREE to 289-276-5164 if you do, too.
English
@freedomprocess @BeautifulCana1 he might be led on by the eu to think there are buyers for “low emission” oil but they’re not to be trusted plus the asian market is growing, will be more significant and definitely does not care about emissions
English
@BeautifulCana1 He is wrong. No one is willing to pay a premium for “low emission” produced oil.
His “conversations” were with other climate grifters on how they can profit from adding these billions of extra costs to our 🇨🇦 oil producers, ultimately hurting 🇨🇦 economy and taxpayers.

@Mooooiuxq @Y40IFRQTTING ty for the film history lesson. I’m sure the millennial in ohio would have been deeply touched by cinecitta without hollywood

@emmincipator @Y40IFRQTTING La dolce vita was completaly made by the Italian cinema, that was the one who attracted lots of people in Cinecitta even from the USA… wtf are you even talking about

The American understanding of Europe is Italy while the third world understanding of Europe is Denmark. For the British it is probably Hungary.
