@SamMonsonNFL Cocoa is even crazier

Artichokes are like a joke food. Just how starving was the first person to eat an artichoke to actually work their way to the useful, edible part?

@tocnexthome @PeterSchiff

You are wrong. Why we are even experiencing high prices is bullshit when we don’t get any oil from them so explain that? The system is so broke and it hates change…what media coverage do you believe!? Have you been there first hand to see what’s happening over there…it’s great of those bastards wanna get angry it’s going to be pretty hard for them to build anything without pallets of cash dropped off to them..what did Obama think was going to happen!?

Based on Trump’s latest post, here’s the victory some Americans died for and the rest of us will pay for with debt & inflation: the regime stays in power, grows even more hard-line, Iranians hate America even more, and oil prices stay permanently higher. Other than that, we win.

@Pete2Shawn @PeterSchiff

@PeterSchiff I disagree Mr Panican. Stop being negative. Our future will be bright… one step at a time. The treacherous state of our union under the Biden-Harris Regime cannot be understated. Picking up the pieces and putting our country back together again takes time.

@yishan Hate Pete Kegsbreath but hate this story a lot more

All right maybe this is a time for me to tell my story about Pete Hegseth. Peter Hegseth is close to my age. We went to high school around the same time. He's also from Minnesota (as I am), and our schools were maybe 20 miles apart. In high school, I inadvertently became infamous for "bullying the football players." I was on the Math Team, which is exactly as nerdy as it sounds, and our school (Mounds View High School) had a very strong math team. We habitually took either #1 or #2 in every regional competition, vying with our main rival, the nearby Irondale High School. The math teams collected the best math students across all the grades, and you'd compete at different levels at the meet: the meet would have Algebra, Geometry, Trig, and Advanced Topics sections, and each student on the team would do two events. This made it so that freshmen could compete in Algebra+Geometry, while seniors could compete at Trig and Advanced. Sometimes people did a straddle, like Algebra and Advanced, and Geometry and Trig. Each team was comprised of 8 students. The totals were computed from your individual score (5 problems per event; you got 1 point for each problem you solved). Since everyone did two events, you could get a total of 10 points max. The team's score would be the total of the 8 designated scoring students (80 points max), followed by a team event to try and solve 6 problems jointly (5 points each) for a potential max of 30 more points. The school's total was therefore the sum of the individual scores (10 * 8 individual + 30 points for the team event, for a max possible of 110 points). We were pretty good, in my senior year I was even the top-scoring member of the team, but the problems were always quite hard, and it was very rare to actually score a full 10 points on the individual portion. I'm going over the point system because it matters for this story. As I mentioned, our school routinely came in either #1 or #2 at each meet, vying with our main rival Irondale. There were maybe 5-6 other schools in the region, and it was always Mounds View and Irondale neck-and-neck at the top of the leaderboard, often a nailbiting near-tie going into the Team Event. If you're wondering why it was so tense, it's because they ratcheted up the tension using time limits: all the events were timed, and you could only get all the points if you quickly realized how to get the solution, and then did the computations super-fast without making any mistakes. This left many opportunities for lost points we'd otherwise be able to get with less time pressure. The leaderboard was always Mounds View or Irondale at the top, with the other one right behind them and then often a 20-30+ point gap, followed by the other schools in a middling cluster. And routinely at the bottom, one of the schools was Forest Lake High School, and they'd routinely have laughably low single-digit scores, like their entire total at the end of the night would be like... 6. We'd laugh at them sometimes, like "Oh wow, their entire school scored less than one of our team members, hahaha Forest Lake" or like "Haha, [our teammate] Nathan Doble beat Forest Lake - good job, Doble." So it was a bit of a joke. We never *met* anyone from Forest Lake - there were hundreds of students at the event - maybe they only sent one student, or a handful, each getting 1-2 problems right (the first of the 5 problems on each set was always "easy"). Sometimes we speculated that maybe they had one kid who was kinda good at math in the whole high school or something. One evening, after we had returned to our school after a math team meet, we ran into some football players returning from their game, looking exhausted. I think I said something like "Hey guys, how's it going?" and one of them (this is Minnesota, so the guy was huge) answered, "Ohhhh man, not so well. We lost to Forest Lake." ... and without thinking I just blurted out, "Forest Lake??? Pfft! MATH TEAM never loses to FOREST LAKE!" and waved him off contemptuously and turned away. Later on my friend who witnessed this said that as I walked away, what I didn't see was that the football player got REALLY MAD and looked like he was going to come after me and beat me up. This later turned into "Yishan was bullying football players." (I actually feel quite bad about this - looking back on this, I feel like I should've said something supportive like, "Don't worry, you'll get 'em next time. Math Team always crushes Forest Lake, so don't worry, we got your back." But high school is kind of another world) What's the point of this story? Well, Pete Hegseth went to Forest Lake.

@JessicaLBurbank Man's not hot

bruh

@liIpochaco You lose a lot of weight in that sweaty ass suit

how come there’s never any fat furries. no one wants to be a big chunky cat or somethin??

@RyanPepper16 @emkenobi You match the bullet casing, not the bullet itself. Each gun firing pin mechanism leaves a different "fingerprint" when fired on casing. When they fired the gun again it did not match casings found at the scene.

@emkenobi They really weren’t. You are all just so ignorant as to what this means. More than likely it means the bullet broke up enough that they could not match it. NOT that it didn’t match

I would like to apologize to all the conspiracy theorists I called crazy. Looks like you were onto something lol.

@LindseyGrahamSC Turn that gun around there, sport

Spent some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today. Doesn’t get much better than that.

@PaulDeathwish @davidicke @RealAlexJones Yes it's a bit rich. Reminds me of that moron Ashton Forbes criticizing everyone on X.

@davidicke I’ll take @RealAlexJones over reptilian Icke any day.

Absolute bloody garbage. Trump was owned by them all along - you were just too starry-eyed, love-struck, and naive to see the blatantly obvious. He was 'trapped by the globalists'? He's an idiot then or he wasn't trapped and he's a psychopath. Which one did you tell people endlessly to vote for to bring about the 'Golden Age'? And you still expect to be taken seriously along with your fellow 'vote Trumpers' while claiming you are 'always right' when all of you could not have been more wrong.

@nickmeek66639 @MikePunko @GigglingGanon Damn you're fucking retarded

@MikePunko @GigglingGanon Certain rules. Like shoot in the chest. Head shots are a no no

If fed up were ever a person this is them. This guy recounts his actions to the police on his wife and his mother and father in law. He takes full responsibility for his actions that he in detail breaks down for the authorities. Basically he snapped. 👀

@15b93e615696475 @MikePunko @GigglingGanon Whoa psycho take a breath

@MikePunko @GigglingGanon Well, despite what you internet professions have to say, what's done is done. None of it is any of your fucking business to begin with. Statistically speaking one of you morons will likely meet your end to someone like this for opening your mouth when you should listen.

@TmanInTn @esaagar So some other large megacorp should run it....?

@esaagar And somehow you see this madness and believe that THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD RUN IT INSTEAD???? I get that it's in need of an overhaul (transparent pricing perhaps?) but if you think the Government will fix it I have some very very bad news for you.

My daughter was born 10 months ago and required a brief transfer to a speciality hospital The insurance co tells me I owe nothing: Months later the hospital sends me a bill for THOUSANDS. Insurance says hospitals just send it to see if you'll pay after a service is denied

@JustinMacmahan He doesn't understand it because they're up by fucking 30 with 10 minutes left

It’s pretty ridiculous to be a basketball announcer and still not know why teams do this. That said, it’s also ridiculous for such an effective clock killing tactic to exist

@Helen_smith890 @DoctorLemma Stfu bot

@DoctorLemma This might be what is meant by "heart to heart". Even when they are sleeping, they can embrace each other. The younger sister has found a safe haven.

In 1995, a nurse broke hospital rules to place a newborn into her twin sister’s incubator. The baby was not expected to survive. Kyrie and Brielle Jackson were born 12 weeks early at a hospital in the United States. Each weighed roughly two pounds. They were placed in separate incubators, standard practice to prevent infection. Kyrie gained strength. Brielle did not. Three weeks after birth, Brielle went into critical condition. Her oxygen dropped. Her heart rate spiked. Her skin turned bluish-grey. Nurse Gayle Kasparian tried everything. She held her. She had her father hold her. She wrapped her in a blanket. Nothing worked. Kasparian remembered hearing about a practice used in parts of Europe but never tried in American hospitals. She placed Brielle into Kyrie’s incubator. Their father described what happened next: “She snuggled up to Kyrie and she was just fine. It was immediate. It was absolutely immediate.” Within minutes, Brielle’s oxygen levels were the best they had been since she was born. As she slept, Kyrie stretched her left arm across her sister’s body and held her. Photographer Chris Christo captured the moment. The image spread around the world and became known as “The Rescuing Hug.” Hospitals across multiple countries began placing premature twins together, a practice that had been resisted for decades. Both girls went home healthy. They are now 30.

@Cam1Ward Boston don't be silly

PICK #35 Cooper or Boston if both are available?

@vladusatii @mysteriouskat You're welcome Dunning

@jay_nfl @mysteriouskat Thanks for the very thoughtful rebuttal.

Would you be willing to live in a surveillance state if it meant there would be no more crime?

@KendoVT @Daniel_Rapaport I don't think people were saying it was fake but worse...

I like @Daniel_Rapaport so I may be biased. The times I have met him and talked to him he has been nothing but kind. He’s a golf nerd like me. Truly loves the game and worked hard enough to make it his job. I don’t know him well enough to be 100% sure but he seems honest and genuine. I would rather watch content from ppl like this than someone who is fake or a grifter a la someone who just got exposed on X recently. People complain often about ppl in the space being fake but then when someone is truly being themselves, they catch even more flack than the grifters.

@vladusatii @mysteriouskat Hey look everyone its Dunning Kruger

That isn't how it works at all! This is why an education is so important. I'm convinced education is illegal in America. Here goes: Tools like Palantir Gotham don't (a) save, (b) know, (c) access, or (d) track your data. Not only is data not saved to a server anywhere.. the data is restricted by ACL/branching/logs. Wanna spy on someone? Dumb. The world will know. Wanna dox someone? Dumb. Your ACL won't let you. Good luck asking a dude with high-security clearance for access to a dude's first name. Wanna spy on someone? Dumb. That literally wouldn't even work. Got the highest ACL clearance and wanna spy on someone? You still can't unless they've been formally designated a threat. Even then, there is too much work involved in bypassing data opaqueness to see real identities. You know what this is all about? It isn't about surveillance at all. It's about not having access to the elite power structures that govern the newest technology. You know the tech is powerful. You want to do something about it. But you can't. And since you are a "loser," you assume morality can't be against you: "Palantir is spying on me!" -- no, it isn't. "We're in a surveillance state!!" -- we're literally not. If by surveillance, you mean being able to track a whole ton of random dots with no semantic meaning (they could be computers, phones, a WiFi router, etc.), then Google Maps could do this 10 years ago. Say it with me, everyone: if you don't understand a product, don't talk about.

You mean like how people have described everything unknown for centuries???

@BarryOnHere We always used to joke that he was going to become a serial killer

I'm old enough to remember when Tebow first blew up at Florida. Always thought he had to have been hiding some big secret bc there's just no way anybody is really that good of a person. 20 years later he is the only guy I can think of who was built up by the media to be a saint and has actually lived up to it. Also has a higher playoff passer rating than Tom Brady.
