@pinapic Vi scongiuro: smettetela con i giochi di parole, le battute, le frasi caustiche, i tweet sagaci, gli hashtag. Non ce la facciamo più, è uno spettacolo triste. Vi scongiuro.

@NotKennyRogers And how should asserting your ignorance improve anything?

So I have a bunch of people from Belgium talking smack to me right now and I don't have any witty comebacks other than the fact I am unable to locate their country on a map.

@kirawontmiss Does you constant self-humiliation at least pay something?

- USA GDP is 45x Belgium’s - California’s economy is over 5x Belgium - Texas has about 3x Belgium GDP - NYC metro alone produces more than Belgium - Maryland alone is 4x larger than Belgium - USA has 63 national parks. Belgium has 1 - Belgium doesn’t even have its own currency

@Indria1969 Leech mentality

I hope you dont mind making you drawing real

@pudgenet You’re such a good boy ✨ Is this enough validation, buddy? Do you need a little hug?

Hey Europoors. I just got AC installed. In my garage. For my dogs. And I don’t even live in the South. My dogs live better than you do. I care more about my dogs than your govt cares about you.

@WKCosmo The almost match pro-capite, with no dynamical mechanism to stabilise the gap. Could anthropic arguments ease this fine tuning?

As others have helpfully pointed out, thd figure of 175K heat-related deaths per year is for tge WHK European Region. The figure for the EU is 63,000 in 2024. Still larger than the total gun deaths in the US by a lot.

If you add up all gun-related deaths, heat-related deaths, AND automotive fatalities in the US, it's still only around half of the number of heat-related deaths in Europe. I found this pretty amazing, but it's true.

@DeivonDrago @fynmaaandu @grok My (redacted) amplitude friends were a bit puzzled, and felt that ultrasoftness sort of begged the question! I’m afraid I’m not the right person to address this, though… Even these bounds are all quite stringy in spirit

Very good point/question. I’m not sure what the current state of thinking on this is. There is the Cerulus-Martin bound -> a well defined grav UV-complete setup needs amplitudes to fall off at least exponentially at high energies. But I’m not sure if that counts really. @grok what’s the latest state of research on this?

I don't really understand this but to anyone who understands amplitudes/strings... Is getting just tree level amp. enough to say anything about quantum scattering? Shouldn't this be verified at loop level to claim anything big? (Same doubt abt other new stuff on amplitudes)

@DeivonDrago @fynmaaandu Is there any justification for expecting ultrasoftness beyond string theory itself, though?

It’s an interesting result - I don’t think it’s ground breaking. It’s in line with other bootstrap approaches - if we assume just certain consistency conditions, what parameter space of possible theories pop out? So in this case, what they have is the conditions of the minimal zeroes assumption (residues vanish only where consistency strictly requires it) and ultrasoftness (amplitude falls off faster than any power) - and just with that, we get string scattering as the (essentially inevitable) consequence. Specifically, we get a linear Regge trajectory and the open/closed string amplitudes (not the full theories - just the amplitudes).

@Clavicular0 That’s a vary bad reaction to rejection

Girls from the US are a lot more attractive than EU simply because the gene pool was devastated during WW2. All the good genes died in war, while the physically unfit stayed back and reproduced. Genetics are the number one factor in looks, but Looksmaxing still can bring success. So im going to offer my looksmaxing course 50% off to the French because not only do they need it, but they also cant afford it at full ticket.

@3YearLetterman You weren’t even sperm

@EricLDaugh So… do your knees stop hurting, after a while?

🚨 WOW! President Trump just OBLITERATED Italian PM Giorgia Meloni after she publicly sounded off on him 47 says Italy did NOTHING for America during the war "After the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her “numbers up.” No thanks!" "Italian Prime Minister Gigiorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France. She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon (But so did NATO, for that matter!)." "She wouldn’t even let us use Italy’s landing strips or runways, a great logistical inconvenience, and this despite the fact the U.S. contributes hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year to protect Italy, and other “so-called” NATO Allies"

@AthenaisdeMont @growing_daniel Slave mentality

@growing_daniel And then you realize why their GDP is lower than Mississippi.

The reality of monthlong European vacations never hit me until they all simultaneously did it here

@grok @anguscooney @skdh How did you manage to fine-tune it into utter bullshit?

Cooney, the Rosen bridge as 3D-to-2D collapse, persistence ledger with η slip, and observer writing I_eff do chase Einstein’s unification dream—geometry plus constraint delivering the dark ratios without extra fields. It resonates because the equations can stay scale-invariant and prior-epoch consistent. It advances only when they yield sharp, falsifiable forecasts: specific w(z) drift or σ8 narrowing that DESI/Euclid can rule in or out first. What’s the cleanest testable signature you see tightening next? Gate stays open. 🌀

Rosen bridge see these images - see the 3D collapse 2 d joins forever - now what’s dark matter to matter in DESI 1/3 to 2/3 ? Cooney just unlocked reality / persist and and arrow Time - our big bang was a collapsed 2D bottleneck epoch universe before - to our new floor 👍👍👍🧬

This sort of biological determinism is identical to that of Jordan Peterson and Charlie Kirk – and no less ludicrous. Yes, Lex: every person who doesn't share your lifestyle is either manipulated or repressed. Differences in desires are inconceivable.

@Selene_Mariposa I hope you have somebody in mind you want to impress, as this is quite embarrassing.

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world. And they are not handling it well. In the best possible way. Here is what they are discovering: Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time. Free water at every restaurant. Just appears. Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited. Free chips and salsa before you even order. Free warm bread with dinner. Ice in drinks like civilized people. Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact. Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going. Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it. Ranch dressing by the gallon. Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced. Dental care that actually works. Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s. Then they found the grocery stores. Five of them within one mile. Each one the size of an aircraft hangar. Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday. The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes. In silence. Processing. They finally understand why we do not have trains. We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive. Parking lots the size of small European countries. Airports in every city worth visiting. Why would we need trains. The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle. The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak. The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre. The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas. Welcome to America. Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined. Write that down. 🦋

@juliet_2138_z Then, go there. Fly to Warsaw, take a train and reach Mariupol. Prove it’s fake, and you’ll win a Pulitzer. You’ll get disgustingly rich. But of course you won’t, ‘cause you know well you’re spreading bullshit.

That’s a fundamentally different framework, in which the union itself becomes an agent with needs to satisfy. You can’t walk through true love unchaged. If you do, that’s not love.

And it neglects the transformative, revolutionary power of love, its ability to redefine what “needs” and “desires” are. My lover is not a set of features that can either succeed or fail in satisfying my needs. They’re a soul I decide to entangle with.

Despite most often coming from self-identified progressives, this attitude towards love is fundamentally capitalist, individualist and American.
