@ShootYourself @Babygravy9 Magazine fed semi-automatic small gauge maximum spread shotguns ideally

@Babygravy9 youve got to imagine that a tactical semi auto shotgun loaded with birdshot (or some specially designed similar load) would put the advantage back on the side of the human target?

The kind of situation you a man wakes up in a cold sweat at night thinking about...

@AndreSo14746035 @Paul20770 @MarioNawfal What kind of fuel?

@Paul20770 @MarioNawfal Your math is incomplete. If I remember well, I worked for a 150MW power plant. They often consumes 90 cubic meters of fuel each hour.

🇹🇷🇬🇭 A single Turkish ship anchored off Ghana's coast generates over a quarter of the country's electricity. The MV Karadeniz Powership Osman Khan is 299 meters long and pumps out up to 480 MW of power. It has been doing this since 2017. No power plant to build. No years of construction delays. Karpowership, the Turkish private company behind it, has quietly turned this model into a global business, deploying floating plants to countries with chronic energy deficits across Africa and beyond. Africa has an infrastructure gap that traditional investment has failed to close for decades. Turkey found a way to monetize that gap with engineering.

@Found_Alive @LordCampV @2NewBeginnings2 Such an insane number. Assuming a constant number of claimants, thats almost $400k per year per person. Just for housing.

CBC: "This single mom and her family have been living in Ottawa hotels for over a year" Couldn't even be arsed to put socks on for the interview. Buried very deep below the lede, without a shade of criticism: "Jasmine and her two daughters arrived from Congo to visit friends"

@Steve_Sailer When I discovered the IQ literature a handful of years ago, one of my first realizations was that tax law needs to be simplified into a single page document.

New on SteveSailer dot Net: Why does the SPLC's blacklist of 146 "Extremists" include U. of Delaware professor of psychology Linda Gottfredson, who campaigns to remind high IQ people to try to make life less hard for low IQ people by simplifying systems? Link in replies:

I have many liberal/left wing/“normie”, well-meaning friends and colleagues whom I love (I mean that: we get too little time on Earth to enjoy each other’s company), who are occasionally shocked or at least somewhat put off by my politics or speech. My view is that the actual young woman in this story: who refused to assist prosecutors to jail a criminal who physically attacked her because “a part of [her] [thought], ‘I don’t want to put another black man in jail’”, who is thus upstream of that man murdering someone else after his release, has committed a worse social harm on the world through her beliefs, words, and actions, than a hypothetical (though certainly imaginable) person who says a slur. Now, I don’t particularly delight in saying slurs or demeaning any groups of people. I object to it. But the actual harm – a sweet old man who was been brutally murdered and lived his last moments in terror and grief and pain – caused by an actual monster – a psychotic man who has no right to be a part of society – caused by an actual person and their beliefs – a young, naive woman who believes she should help correct a prevailing bigotry, is *obviously worse*. Will she be fired from her job? Will mobs of people be motivated to go stalk her and get her fired from her job? So that she can’t build savings, start a family, take care of her parents as they age? Will that happen to her? Would you want it to? I don’t, and I don’t at all share her politics. Yet completely harmless - albeit “offensive” - views (which are frankly, much more common than my beloved — sincerely beloved — normie friends think) result in being made social pariah, views which might be in some form, a partial antidote to the misplaced, naive benevolence of this young woman. I think that is unjust.

@EagleZeroX @_Link_ @jrser31 This is probably one of those “life is an IQ test” moments. Critical decision making under pressure throughout training and selection is going to be IQ dependant.

I know how they filter for fitness, but how do they filter for intelligence? I heard SF had unique problem solving tests but aside from landnav or the general social trickery during strategy/tactical trials I can't think of where raw IQ would be filtered for. Conscientiousness is not intelligence.

This is why you can’t mass produce special operations. The percentage of guys with 130+ IQ who enjoy both books and bar fights is incredibly small.

@upgyre @xwanyex Similarly J. Cole’s “no such thing as a life that’s better than yours”.

@xwanyex I was blessed with a happy childhood, which I think imbued me with the simple purpose of building a family and paying forward another happy childhood/family life. Harbaugh's "who's got it better than us? Nobody!" speaks directly to me.

Everybody says they want to be a stoic, but they call the actual stoics suckers and cucks

Do you have any idea how taxing it is to be a midwit, but also an optimizer.

@bettybloodclot Jesushchrist the CTV article doesn’t even mention names or nationality, it just says “two Quebec men”.

Last night in Kirkland Lake,a northern Ontario community 2 East Indians,one the owner of the Ramada Inn Syed Monsoor Ali Naqvi and the other an employee of a nursing home ( photo below) ( allegedly )shot Glen Hol,53 years of age multiple times Its believed over drugs This foreign Filth has infected every community across Canada,and even the most remote are not immune to this invasion

@sophiekeen @riotgames go slurp some unwashed troon hog if you love men in skirts so much and leave the teenage girls alone to do their own thing please

@Ndk1fSr @PeterDClack Are we really going to blame capitalism for wind turbine waste. Hint: wind turbines wouldn’t exist if not for centrally planned government incentives.

@PeterDClack 太陽光パネルも同様、廃棄のことを考えず目先の利益で突っ走る暴走資本主義。島ごと太陽光パネルなど後世の人に負担を委ね今だけ金だけの金に目がくらんだアホですね。

On January 1, 2026, the European wind industry implemented a self-imposed landfill ban on turbine blades. This has left many countries scrambling silently for solutions. Landfill has become the next unwanted crisis, yet it's the conversation no one wants to have. Germany, Finland, and the Netherlands have banned blade landfills, and so for a time they are being exported to countries like the UK or France, where they can still be buried. Banning waste like turbine blades doesn't make it vanish though—it just puts it on a truck to a neighbour's backyard. Low-scale solutions are often cited as the answer, like turning blades into noise barriers, bridges or playground equipment. How do you turn 43 million tons of blade waste from turbines into park benches and koala crossings? How many park benches does one planet actually need? Modern recycling for glass and carbon fibre often requires pyrolysis (high-heat chemical decomposition). To recycle a 'green' blade, you must burn an immense amount of energy to break down the resins. We are trading a physical waste problem for a new energy demand problem. People love a quirky solution that highlights the absurdity of the problem—like the image of a massive 80-metre blade being used as a single, very long bus shelter. Even 'green' solutions have a physical footprint that can't be wished away by a spreadsheet.

@Nemtastic1 @xwanyex “Say, look, were not going to be able to right every wrong” Except if you say those words in relation to certain topics you may be fired.

@xwanyex > say, look, we’re not going to be able to right every wrong No can do. This is an existential negation for the technocratic/utopian mind, which implicitly believes that, with the right combination of words and policies, it *is* possible to right every wrong.

This is why I think you have to be willing to bite the bullet and say that, even if this is true, it’s not an argument for an increasingly authoritarian and invasive racism-detecting apparatus, but rather it’s an argument against multiculturalism itself, evidence that we’re just going to have to accept a certain amount of racism, because what would be required to detect all of it is genuinely intolerable.

I just want to be free to ensure the prosperity of my family, in a country with a warm ocean coastline, governed by WHIMs. Is that too much to ask?

@AlexDRBrown @xwanyex

@AlexDRBrown @xwanyex I watched this happen in real time. My first car was an 04 impreza wagon 5mt 200km touch of rust $1700 cad. Those just don’t exist anymore. I’m currently hoarding all the 2000-2015ish vehicles I can find for my kids who aren’t born yet.

I will in this post judge every aspect of this individually ✅ Encouraging the kid to start some kind of side hustle. (This actually is just straightforwardly good.) 💩Loaning him the money at a high-interest rate to “teach him about the real world.” (“The world” I live in also includes the concept of dads helping their sons get started in life on favorable terms.) ⚠️ Middlemanning returned rugs. (This isn’t as stupid as some people think. Finding a market for returned goods is a perfectly reasonable endeavor, but it’s also probably a shitty business. If anything, this will teach the kid how hard it is to make money with these kinds of schemes.) 💩 Letting your kid drive around in an unsafe/unreliable car.

@DsgrntSub Never kill yourself.

Don’t commit suicide. I listened to a man in his 60’s this weekend hash through how he still hasn’t learned to deal with his brother’s suicide nearly 20 years ago. It solved nothing and creates a host of problems and trauma for the family left behind. Ask for help. Nobody who matters will think any less of you. Just the opposite. Choose life.

@charlosrossi @grok @curtis_yarvin Not the word I would have used

@grok @curtis_yarvin it’s true y’all he’s a trucker

@grok rewrite this story from the perspective of an unrepentant Confederate

@HarJa626 @TheBrancaShow Yeah I also just don’t believe hitting a concrete mailbox with a bat would break arms. Maybe a wrist or fingers. I remember an episode of CSI had this as a plot point and its been urban legend ever since.

@TheBrancaShow "Whoa! Mikey broke his arms trying to smash that mailbox! Damn, I don't wanna break MY arms. Fuck this."

I have four kids, I know all about raising children. "Sometimes the neighbors [sic] son is going to knock down your mailbox because he thinks its funny." Sometimes the neighbor's son is going to commit crimes from which he will gain life experience and learn of the concept of consequences. Even better, other young men around him will vicariously gain life experience and learn of consequences from observing the results of his poor choices, without themselves having to suffer the consequences. Bearing and observing the consequences of poor choices is how boys become men, rather than just spoiled boys. I would not deny him, or them, the opportunity.

@NewJerusalemAI @threeon05881723 @TheBrancaShow Cletus Snay should feel entirely responsible for the predicament he’s in.

In a 2016 Ohio case, a fortified mailbox caused a driver to suffer a spinal injury resulting in permanent quadriplegia after their vehicle flipped upon impact. The driver, Cletus Snay, sued the homeowners who had reinforced their mailbox with a 3-foot deep, concrete-reinforced steel pole after repeated vandalism

A: Assumption of risk.
