Just going to leave this right here

@SirBylHolte The real female lead was Eleanor.

The 2000 remake of "Gone in 60 Seconds" is a perfect example of what they took from us. Nicolas Cage is a hot-shot car thief who commands respect. His mom loves him. His brother loves him. Even the cops on his trail admire him. Angelina Jolie is the ONE female lead and she loves the hero too. The late Robert Duvall plays his mentor and loves him too. When his brother’s life is threatened, he assembles a team of elite badasses who must steal 50 cars in a single night. 97% of the cast is male. All the manly virtues are on display—redemption, loyalty, courage, honor. Epic car chases and explosions dominate the screen. No girlbosses interfere with the story. All the men survive EXCEPT the bad guy. And here's the important part: IT'S FUN. It’s a simple formula that pleased blockbuster audiences for decades. Why do they keep breaking it?

@levelsio Have you read this? digitallibrary.un.org/record/412547?… It explains why governments are bending backwards to facilitate migration at all costs.

I asked AI: Who benefits financially if Europe brings in low/no income low educated non-culturally aligned welfare seekers from the third world? "There are identifiable financial beneficiaries, and this is well-documented in immigration economics literature. Here's who actually profits: 1. Employers in low-wage sectors - Construction, agriculture, food processing, cleaning, logistics - Labor supply increase suppresses wages, boosting margins - Reduces pressure to automate or improve conditions 2. Landlords & property owners - Housing demand spikes in urban areas → rent increases - Existing homeowners see property value appreciation - Slum landlords and housing associations benefit most directly 3. Migration industry - Lawyers, NGOs, translators, integration consultants - This is a multi-billion euro industry in Germany, Sweden, Netherlands alone - NGOs often receive per-head government funding — direct financial incentive to maximize intake 4. Retail & consumer goods - Raw volume of consumers increases - Governments often provide vouchers/cash that flows directly into consumption 5. Governments (short-term optics) - GDP headline number goes up with population growth - Politicians can claim “growth” while GDP per capita may stagnate or fall Who Bears the Costs - Native low-skilled workers — direct wage competition, most economically vulnerable - Taxpayers — welfare, housing, education, healthcare, judicial costs - Public service users — longer queues, diluted services - Lower-middle class neighborhoods — concentrated social externalities It’s essentially a privatization of gains, socialization of costs structure Employers and landlords capture upside; diffuse taxpayer population absorbs downside. This is why mainstream economists who focus on aggregate GDP often support high immigration while working-class populations in receiving areas oppose it: they’re experiencing completely different economic realities. George Borjas (Harvard) vs. Card/Peri debate covers this empirically in depth if you want the academic trail.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

@NovusD843358 @Deeteem1 I'd argue that today's Warsaw is one the most beautiful capitals in Europe at the moment. Top 5 at least.

@ThomMohr @GunterHeinrich @Error404GaryB @JoeyMannarino Also soll man die Korruption in der Ukraine unterstützen, weil...? Warum kann man nicht endlich Realitäten anerkennen? Die Ukraine braucht kein Geld, sondern Frieden. Das korrupte Regime zu unterstützen, verlängert den Krieg.

@GunterHeinrich @Error404GaryB @JoeyMannarino Die AfD, der Sie so zusprechen, fordert die Einstellung der Hilfe an die Ukraine. Dein Korrputionsyaddyadda ist ein Werkzeug um das zu erreichen. Das hilft Putin. Damit unterstützt Du ihn. Das hat nichts mit links zu tun, sondern mit denken.

This is why Zelenskyy is openly threatening Viktor Orbán’s life. Hungary just intercepted Ukrainian armored vehicles transporting $40 million USD, €35 million, and 9 kg of gold seized on suspicion of money laundering. Seven Ukrainians detained, including a former intelligence officer. Kyiv claims it’s legitimate, declared funds from Raiffeisen Bank Austria under a standard agreement and calls the action “hostage-taking” and theft. But with Orbán blocking massive EU aid/loans to Ukraine and tensions over Russian oil transit exploding, this “coincidence” exposes the real stakes. Zelenskyy’s regime is furious because the grift is getting exposed. No more blank checks. Hungary is the only one standing up.

@PianoTalent @AlenaShterenbrg @it_unprofession They can enforce it through app licenses. If you don't install the MDM profile you won't get any of the managed (preconfigured and licensed) school apps. Even if you were to buy the apps yourself, teachers probably wouldn't know how to link "private" iPads to virtual classrooms.

@AlenaShterenbrg @it_unprofession They can't legally make you buy the school an iPad, surely

My kid's school just sent an email about their "1:1 device program." Every student gets an iPad. The school is very excited about "technology-enhanced learning." The iPad costs $800. Paid by parents. Plus $200/year for "device insurance and management." I asked what happens if we don't want to buy the iPad. They said it's mandatory for the curriculum. So it's a $1,000 textbook that plays games and breaks when you drop it. I asked what software they're using that requires an iPad specifically. Teacher said "various educational apps." I asked which ones. She sent me a list. I looked them up. They all have web versions that work on any device. So they don't need iPads. They want iPads. And they're making parents pay for it. But I can't be the parent who fights the iPad program because then I'm the asshole who doesn't support education technology. So I'm writing a $1,000 check for an iPad my kid will use to watch YouTube during class. The school gets to say they're "innovative." Apple gets to sell 500 iPads. Parents get to fund it. And in three years they'll switch to Chromebooks and we'll do this again.

@Sorenthek How do they want to enforce this? Most people who leave EU countries don't intend to ever return. What do I care about the petty little laws of a government that can't abide by it's own laws?

Every nation is Ring-fencing its tax base now. Getting ready for big wealth confiscation. No joke.

@Loundshay @KingBobIIV Looking back what would have needed to confidently believe that you are beautiful? I notice so many females in their 20s struggling with their self perception to a worryingly destructive degree.

@KingBobIIV It's sad isn't it? I remember thinking it must be awful to grow old when you're pretty. At least that won't matter to me!

Anyone else had an "Old moment"? I had a customer this week who, after 20+ minutes of banter, stared at me and said, "I bet you were really pretty when you were young". He meant well. He was in his 20s and he thought it a compliment. But I remember being in my 20s and looking at "old" people, and thinking the same. It dawned on me that outwardly, I'm no longer who I am inwardly. My next customer was in her 80s and I took that on board. We had a really good laugh, (no noise coming out laughter) and I ended up glad he'd said that. We were all young once. Enjoy it. You're a long time dead.

@nicksortor Please... This was not an op. This was drama class at the learing center at best. Pathetic!

Legacy media is going to try to convince you this guy was “MAGA” Horsesht. Stay frosty, patriots. This is an op.

@MartinMh1966 Auf X sieht man manchmal, wie extrem dystopisch die deutsche Blase ist.

@SilverChartist Would a correction be driven purely by technicals or do you see a narrative looming?

@MooreDividends Hehe, na zum Glück haben wir letztes Jahr den Mindestlohn angehoben, wegen Gerechtigkeit und so 😅

EIL! Amazon plant weitere Entlassungen von rd. 30.000 (!) Stellen. Beginn der Entlassung möglicherweise schon nächste Woche.

@USMortality @Tjeerd181 @WallStreetMav It's also not their doing. Germany's demise is entirely founded in their own arrogance. They even have a term for that: "Besserwisserei".

@Tjeerd181 @WallStreetMav Hello, it was not the Dutch. Try French, British and Russian

Germany did polling. If Germany were to be invaded, how many men would be willing to fight to defend. It was 16%. In America it is over 55%. If Germans were asked to go to Ukraine to fight against Russia, it would be 0%. Germany's new goal is to increase their military from 180,000 today to 460,000 (active and reserve). They don't even remotely have the population willing to do that. Their men don't support what the government stands for. The govt is destroying the country with it's immigration and economic policies. The young men have mostly decided it's not worth fighting for.

@MichaelAArouet Haha there was actually a fun incident at the London office of a US tech company. Women have been complaining about the gender pay gap so HR looked into it and found that women were actually making more money for the same jobs so they had to raise the salaries for male colleagues

There is no such thing as a gender pay gap. A female pilot earns exactly the same as a male pilot. A male flight attendant earns exactly the same as a female flight attendant. There are simply more male pilots than female pilots. Got it now?

@dennislennox @CaitlinDoornbos That's regular Holzklasse. What kind of mickey mouse airline sits business class passengers shoulder to shoulder?

@CaitlinDoornbos Business class, not first.

Not only is the German military flying commercial to leave Greenland today, but also first class. Back of the plane for me!

@1978stappi @MichaelBroecker @kaiwegner @CDU Politiker wie Kai Wegner haben längst vergessen, wem bzw. dass sie überhaupt Rechenschaft schulden. Er ist letztendlich für Berlin verantwortlich und Berlin funktioniert überhaupt nicht mehr. Es ist ein rechtsfreier Raum, indem Steuern nicht mal mehr den Wert von Schutzgeld haben

@MichaelBroecker @kaiwegner @CDU Suchen und finden Sie hier nicht den falschen Schuldigen Herr Bröcker?! Verantwortlich sind einige wenige die den Anschlag zu verantworten haben, nicht Herr Wegner. Sollten wir uns nicht lieber darüber unterhalten und nach Lösungen suchen um das einschränken zu können

Sorry, lieber @kaiwegner. Das war ein schwerer politischer Fehler. Tennis spielen, während >100.000 Menschen ohne Strom und Heizung sind, ist instinktlos. Die @CDU in Berlin hat jetzt ein Problem, zumal auch im Krisenmanagement klare Fehler gemacht wurden. (1/2)

@maggie_boy78 @Cr7Godbrand @owl_elc Sheesh. Has this hostility ever solved any problems for you? Can you step back from anecdotal benign details and look at the big picture? If you want to coexist in a peaceful and thriving environment you might want to align with others. YOU are not the center of the universe.

@Cr7Godbrand @owl_elc So what I'm really hearing is that you think men are useless, overgrown babies who require to be led by the nose to do even the most basic tasks and have no understanding of hygiene. You appear to have an extremely low opinion of men.

think I finally understand why many women complain about men so much. At its core, it comes the frustration that men do not think, process, or experience the world the way women do. women struggle with having to verbalize their needs….to explain what’s wrong and spell things out emotionally. They wish men would simply anticipate and intuit without being told. When that doesn’t happen, it feels exhausting and unfair. This is why ideas like “mental load” and “emotional labor” keep coming up…not because men are malicious, but because men do not naturally think in the same constant, anticipatory, emotionally layered way women do. Men tend to be more linear, task-focused, and present-oriented, while women lean toward overthinking, future-projection, perfectionism, and emotional vigilance. That difference breeds resentment. Instead of accepting these differences, many women try to push men to adopt feminine emotional traits…hyper-empathy, constant emotional processing, and anticipatory caretaking…which do not come naturally to most men. This is why phrases like “emotional intelligence,” “if he wanted to, he would,” and “a real man would notice” are often used. They assume men should operate with the same internal wiring as women, which they simply do not.

@jensspahn Hehe, warum bin ich nicht überrascht, dass Masken- Spahn die Gunst der Stunde nutzt und direkt nach mehr staatliche Kontrolle ruft? Was Deutschland wirklich helfen würde ist *WENIGER STAAT*! Hört endlich auf, linksextremistischen Terror mit Steuergeldern zu alimentieren!

Zehntausende ohne Strom und Wärme, Alte, Gebrechliche, Kranke und Kinder leiden, Menschen sollen verunsichert und agitiert werden. Das ist ein linksextremer Akt des Terrors. Und genau so muss er auch bekämpft werden. Deshalb weiten wir die Befugnisse unserer Sicherheitsbehörden aus und verstärken ihre Ressourcen.

@duediligenceguy All the best for you and your loved ones Lobo. Sincerely, thank you for all your insights and sharing your no hype grounded view. 🙏

Whoda thunk a year ago we'd see a New Year's Eve headline like this on Reuters? (I'm Darth Silver and I approve of this message. ; - )

@LilyMarieMFC @UBERSOY1 @WallStreetMav Who is literally eating its own poop and had nothing to do with a democratic constitution.

@UBERSOY1 @WallStreetMav They've been deemed far-right extremist by the literal constitution protection agency btw

Still can’t believe the leader of the German far-right party is a lesbian who is in love with an Indian migrant.
