Salty

Imagine not knowing we do operations in the operating room. Bahahahah these fucking idiots it’s hilarious to watch someone who’s never done anything for society bad mouth veterans.

@red00t3d52092 @RealityTripper Hey guys look at this genius number one here! Wants to know my personal medical information. Are you some kinda idiot or something you fucking retard?

@jksaltman @RealityTripper So what's your disability

This dude scammed the US Navy into paying for two years of college while he was a Naval Reservist and then he dipped out with a disability rating for anxiety and depression and gets $25,000/yr tax free for the rest of his life because lol, lmao? We can't afford this.

@PretentiousT10 @IncGravy46075 Literally just went on a couple dates with this woman and a bear started attacking my farm killed all my poultry, and I was mentioning it to her. She told me she choose the bear. I know that’s a supportive thing to say in a relationship.

@IncGravy46075 Are you guys being obtuse on purpose? Please touch grass, nobody irl gives a fuck about the bear vs man debate

I’ve also witnessed this phenomenon where women nowadays are almost desperate for a boyfriend. When I was in high school and college I never remember that even remotely being the case. I think covid stunted a lot of guys and in-turn the women are now looking around like “wtf happened. Why is finding a normal guy impossible now?”

@PretentiousT10 None of these women are “normal” most of them are pumping their face full of Botox and eating food grown in a lab and will not take any leadership or direction from a man

@wayofftheres @SilverStarAg I went with solar and batteries and it’s great because I can use it every day not JUST in an outage.

@SilverStarAg Basically gay as aids. Check the run time/ down time schedule. They were not meant to last over 12 hours if power outage. I ran mine a week straight doing manual cycles once, it needed professional help after. I’d buy a Honda gas generator long before I’d do this

Who’s got a Generac or similar unit? What the good, bad and ugly? I know they’re expensive but 36 hours without power wasn’t alot of fun. #agtwitter

@heymiller @InezFeltscher Words have no meaning anymore. It’s disgusting

Will someone please ban my books so that they will be put on prominent display in bookstores?

@ZarkFiles I’m also from MN and the struggle for conservatives or even moderates like me it real

I'm from Minnesota, but have also lived in California, Nevada, Arizona, Vermont, Maine, New York, New Jersey, and the Netherlands. MN: None of my relatives there have spoken to me since discovering, in 2005, that I am conservative. CA: A genuinely beautiful state marred by a couple specs of land inhabited by people like the one who tried to get me fired for having a "God Bless our Troops" bumper sticker on my van after 9/11. NV: Another beautiful state, but living in Las Vegas as a teenager meant that the only things to do were illegal for anyone my age. AZ: No complaints except for John McCain, but he's gone now, replaced by people like my MN relatives. VT: The best place to eat was a restaurant in Brattleboro run by communists. The food, even the soup, was always burnt, and one never knew when they were open or what they would serve because they were all communists. NY: When I lived in NYC in the 1980's, it was a city full of opportunity. Now, it is like a tube of toothpaste, halfway through its life span. Glad I don't live anywhere near the city any longer. Weirdly, the rest of the state seems peopled by actual Americans. NJ: I suspect that someone here took a lot of bribes in order to create the most confusing mess of highways outside of China. NL: A wonderful place with weather out of a Kafka novel. The bureaucracy matched the weather, but was very efficient. My favorite place: Yosemite, despite being in California. The real issue I have with every place I've ever lived isn't the landscape or weather, but the socialism quotient. The higher it is, the worse the place is, no matter what other attributes it has. The worst I've seen is China, where young girls beg strangers to marry them so they can escape, almost everyone's face is scarred by severe chloracne, and the politically connected drive brand new Mercedes Benz sedans past locals driving oxcarts loaded well beyond any sane limit. San Francisco is halfway to China in more than one way. Other parts of America don't seem far behind. I wonder what it would take to stop the spread and neutralize the infection. Ignoring it doesn't seem to help.

@BoringBiz_ I just wanted freedom and enough to support a family, and I overshot. I’m still active in the community. Still don’t have a family tho and it’s weighing heavily on me.

The FIRE (financial independence retire early) movement has done an immense amount of harm to society This is coming from someone who used to be a believer in FIRE, but I have realized just how much of a fallacy it is, as I have grown older Taking a bunch of high potential income earners and convincing them that their life goal should be to pursue a net worth that allows them to check out of society is immensely damaging to the social fabric Many of these people sit on the upper echelon of office jobs, have built great businesses, or are at the top of their field in their career field They should be inspired to continue doing what they are best at, and ultimately, mentor and give back to the next generation who want to pursue those same goals Instead, many of these FIRE folks become wandering retirees with a meaningless life who are trying to grasp on to money as their north star It is a false sense of security and accomplishment. Becoming wealthy should never be a goal in the first place. It should have always been to pursue something that adds meaning to your own life and to society It is a completely fallacy to believe that retiring will be your source of happiness. More often than not, it has the complete opposite effect

@Maple2205 @ChiBearsHawk @kynakwado2 @_rabbi That $3000 MIGHT get you 12 days at a 5 star hotel..

@ChiBearsHawk @kynakwado2 @_rabbi Assuming a hotel is ~3000 a month (I don’t know hotel prices for shit), food/utility/more being included doesn’t sound the worst?

anyone making over $10k/month that doesnt live in hotels full time is a fool

@SjvTesla @Tesla @cybertruck @greggertruck @BeardedTesla @TesLatino @teslaownersSV @CTJESU55 @cyberoffroad @CyberOdysseyUSA @cybertrexevents @CybrtrekerNadia @KobraToldya The little latch emergency release for the tailgate is flimsy plastic as well

Selfless future Cybertruck request because I'm out of warranty. Dear @Tesla I have 2 requests. 1. PLEASE make the emergency release for @cybertruck out of metal 🤦🏾‍♂️ 2. For the love of Everything please add an easier access for charge port repairability. Having to remove the bed liner is wild.

@SelkieSweet7 @RealSeanithan @papistlurker Good grief

@RealSeanithan @papistlurker I was bound and determined to be a nun when God wasn't calling me to be.

I met a girl at 12 or 13. We didn't become friends immediately, but by the time I was 15, we were absolute best friends. I fell in love with her. She dropped zero hints (the closest thing to a hint I ever got was her sister said, "I don't care what she says: she feels the same way about you"). I confessed anyway. Unsurprisingly, she turned me down. For whatever reason, she stayed friends with me. I joined the military later than most do at 21, then injured my shoulder in basic and was sent home. Upon learning of my injury, she - out of pity, as near as I can tell - texted my sister to tell me that if I were to try again, she would go along with it. My sister relayed the information, so I tried again. That was in 2013, and she and I are married with four kids (so far).

@TiffanyxFong It really depends on the location!

Is buying a home retarded?

@KevinEspiritu Not that easy here in zone 9 to get lettuce going and keep it from bolting during the summer months… all the good lettuce is grown in foggy areas around here

It's wild this keeps happening with LETTUCE, one of the easiest crops in the world to grow at home no matter what you living situation is. If you grow anything, grow your own greens 🤦🏽‍♂️

@TJTheWheelDeal Do it naturally! You got this! And the reward will be so much sweeter to savor

Another 5k Meters in the books. May start back up on GLP 1 this week to expedite weight loss. Not sure yet. I don’t really like the way I feel on it.

@MuchGreenGrass @politicalmath @_MrScience_ @ButlerofThanos Who’s that?

@jksaltman @politicalmath @_MrScience_ @ButlerofThanos Something tells me this isn’t relevant to the person we’re discussing

This is a touchy subject but veteran's benefits explosion is driven by what can only be described as disability fraud (Graham Platner is 100% disabled?) This disability designation is often extremely bad *for* the veterans who collect it. The incentives are incredibly messed up.

@politicalmath @_MrScience_ @ButlerofThanos Veterans and Afghanistan Veterans were treated more disposable like Vietnam veterans?? What are you really saying here because all this has been very well investigated.

@politicalmath @_MrScience_ @ButlerofThanos Investigations have shown a fraud rate at 0.01% or around 63 veterans annually. Lots of the increase is new awareness about what trauma is and how it impacts us. Tks DSM5, the PACT act which gave presumptive benefits for cancers, and better outreach by the VA. You’d rather IRAQ

@MorbidKnowledge HERO AND PATRIOT!!!

Selfie taken by North Korean man Kim Kang-woo inside North Korea after he secretly reentered after previously escaping. He returned just to help his mother. Kim Kang-woo was a poor farmer's son in a North Korean border town, top of his class but barred from university for being the wrong social class. He and his mother sometimes didn't have enough to eat. His father had already died attempting the same escape Kim was about to make. It was pouring rain the night in May 2016 when Kim crossed the Yalu River alone. His mother gave him a boiled egg as he left, he pressed it back into her hands. She couldn't risk seeing him off, and cried silently for nights after. He reached Seoul after a five-month journey through China, Laos and Thailand. Then he worked. Construction sites, a mattress store, a cellphone store, every job he could land, thinking of his mother each night on the walk home. By 2019 he had saved enough and found a broker he trusted, and flew to China to oversee her escape himself. It fell apart in a single dropped phone call. His mother called from a borrowed phone, frightened, saying she couldn't find him on the Chinese side and maybe they should try another time. Then the line went dead. His money was nearly gone, his visa almost expired. So he made his choice. "There was really only one path," he said. "I had to go back. And if I got caught crossing back in, I was ready to die." He spent two days watching the border guards from the Chinese side, and the moment they broke for dinner, he crossed back in and ran for the woods. He knocked on his mother's door. She was stunned, they held each other in silence and cried and then she was terrified. “If he's caught, he would be immediately exec*ted and the rest of us would go to a prison camp." For 22 days he scrambled to arrange brokers on both sides of the border. Then surveillance caught a call. Soldiers raided the house while Kim was out, detained his mother, and beat her to make her admit her son had returned. She denied it. The day after she was detained, Kim crossed the Yalu a second time, without her. South Korean intelligence had tracked his whole journey by phone records and interrogated him for weeks as a suspected spy. Because defectors legally become South Korean citizens, entering the North is a crime he was sentenced to six months in prison and two years' probation. But it worked. While he was still being questioned, a broker called, his mother had escaped on her own. He arranged for his contacts to guide her out through China, Laos and Thailand. She wrote him a letter every week he was locked up, about her new driver's license, about a young man on the subway who looked just like him. On the night of his release in September 2020, she waited at the prison gates at midnight, and they reunited more than four years after he first fled.

@TESLA__Tiger @RandyWKirk1 @elonmusk 2022 Tesla was a bit overvalued. Lots of things that Tesla has said they would do they have indeed done

For those worried about Robotaxi Do you honestly believe Tesla is holding back on scaling due to some capricious reason? Do you look at the current fleet and have about 99% expectations that there will be massive scale in the future? Then just relax.
