I have a creative idea: Any country that doesn’t want Israel to disarm Hezbollah should disarm Hezbollah itself.

The most amazing thing about the war in Iran? All the politicians are playing their roles perfectly. No one has let the cat out of the bag...yet. 😲

Pearl Abyss not requiring players to be connected to the internet to play Crimson Desert was a smart move. Sad to say that a lot devs are flummoxed by this concept.

This is one of the best essays on why I don't watch pro wrestling anymore, esp WWE. He focuses on the WWE, but it applies to a lot of pro sports in general. The NBA is more WWE than basketball these days. The best way I can describe it? Soulless m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe5aJU…

@someguy244224 @NuryVittachi Or even those who have been to Asia for a few weeks, or even a long time in their expat bubbles then think they know best. That western values are always right. They will not accept they are often wrong, especially on foreign affair matter.

I am thrilled to announce that I have new job! I used to be a China expert, then I became a Ukraine expert. But now I am expert on the Middle East matters, such as US bases in the Gulf, Iranian shipping lanes, etc. Signed, Everybody on X

A large chunk of the negative reviews for Crimson Desert on Steam are from East Asian countries. In fact, the only languages that rate the game as "mixed" are Korean, Japanese n Chinese. All other languages are "mostly positive"

So far, the Epstein files have exposed one thing clearly: in this country, the rich and powerful play by a completely different set of rules.

If President Trump was going to tank the economy to achieve something big for the people - mass deportations was the option. The disruption to the economy would have been serious, but long run the people would benefit massively. Smashing Iran - doesn’t help a single American.

Interesting perspective
Rational Aussie@rationalaussie

People say that Australia is fucked, and in many ways it is, but Europe and the UK are turbo fucked. Like literally civil war levels of fucked. Non-peaceful outcomes are all but guaranteed there. Australia is at least blessed with natural resources and has ample food production. Yeah the government is retarded - incredibly retarded - but removing a retarded government is a lot easier than trying to unfuck a shit geography with scarcity of energy/food, and remigrating a couple million immigrants is a lot easier than remigrating tens of millions. We are also an island, completely isolated from the rest of the world. It's actually pretty fucking difficult to get here, and the fact the government has managed to facilitate importing so many immigrants that no one wanted is a testament to how utterly retarded they are. Hard times are coming, but Australia is a better country to weather the storm than just about anywhere else right now. Everything is fucked anyway so you have to choose the country that is least fucked. Many went to Dubai, look how that's played out. Many went to Europe to chill - okay have fun when the war kicks off there. Many went to Asia to be a digital nomad - be careful what you wish for, you're now a permanent digital nomad with no way to get home because they are already out of fuel. The point I am trying to make is this: Life is a game of tradeoffs, and optimising for wealth creation is not always the best decision. Most of the time it's not, actually. Many people are still looking through our world with a financial lense, not realising that all that matters now is survival, both literally and figuratively. We are entering a period of peak chaos. The range of possible outcomes is extremely wide. The path is not clear. Many different things, all path dependent, could happen. In times like this you shouldn't optimise solely for wealth creation, you should optimise for survival in all realms: make sure your portfolio lives to see another day sure, but also make sure you're not gonna end up stuck in some shithole country when the missiles start firing just because you wanted to pay 10% less tax. Because honestly a lot of this shit misses the point: If you have internalised where we are in history, as well as where things are going, most of your work, money etc - it's all pointless. Capital controls are coming, as well as heavy taxation, meaning the government is going to steal all your money anyway to save themselves. And if you somehow make it through that, because you're a Bitcoiner, you're still gonna have to navigate a future where AI + robotics takes every feasible job. So yeah, none of it really matters. Not from a doomer perspective, but from the perspective that you should play the hand you are dealt and roll the dice as you see fit. My mental model of this is to act like it's all a video game, because it probably is. Treat things both lightly and seriously. Work hard if you enjoy what you do but not hard enough that people can tell you are working hard. It should all look like play - that is life.
