I try to be reasonable. Step out of your echo chamber. I remove my followers.

@kamfrenchie1 @MadZenMoment @Hardymatt0 @TheOmniLiberal In today's climate actually I feel like a Pakistani and MAGA farmer have more in common values-wise. Obviously the two Americans probably have seen more of the same movies but nobody is talking about that when they're bringing up "shared culture".

@TheOmniLiberal "He deserved to be assassinated because he said things I didnt like" "SAD HES DEAD but I didnt like the guy" Yes .... Very the same.. One calls for more violence by saying its ok.. The other acknowledges an event of domestic violence calling it SAD.. Very same me say

@CoachVilvens @TheOfficerTatum He told him to RIP, Reiner would be dancing on his grave. He also was filming a docuseries called The Spy and the Asset..a deranged fantasy he had about Trump and Putin. You can only take the high rode so many times

@Andrew___14 @TheOmniLiberal not hypocrisy. It is good to criticize someone who calls for civil war for 4 years when they say the other side needs to disavow violence.

@Andrew___14 @TheOmniLiberal talking about random YouTubers or people on Twitter, meanwhile they're giving a pass to their PRESIDENT who is doing nothing but turning the temperature up and celebrating violence (when it's against the other side ofc). Pointing out hypocrisy or holding a mirror to someone is..

I just don't understand where these people have been at for the last 10 years? Trump has never shown decorum on literally fucking ANYTHING, the idea that they're surprised now that he's not...??? Have you seen any media at all in the last decade???
Sean Fitzgerald (Actual Justice Warrior)@IamSean90

I genuinely hate this post. Reportedly he & his wife were killed by their drug abusing son. This would've been a perfect time to point out how the horrors of addiction go far beyond Trump's rural often forgotten base & have impacts at all levels of society. Instead we got this

You keep telling me that I'm perfectly fine with other over priced weapons. I'm not. I think modified 1980's technology should be significantly cheaper as well. I don't know why a Hellfire should cost more than $10-20,000, and that's with profitable markup. Our adversaries are successfully employing low cost drones. We're just burning money at this point. Jamming is a concern, but that's already been resolved as well. Single use attack drones can be fiber. The fancy tech targeting/control drone can be hardened. I'm not against the advanced tech, I'm against destroying the advanced tech when it can be better employed.

‼️🇺🇲 BIG | The U.S. Marine Corps has signed a new contract for the purchase of Rogue 1 strike drones, ground stations, and related services. Compared to the initial procurement rounds, the drones have become roughly 25% cheaper — now costing “only” about $70.8 thousand per unit. See the latest updates with us: @visionergeo

@GuardedbyRavens @Bachman314 @shipwreckedcrew there's less risk of people talking about the giant illicit drug factory. 3) The fewer people in between is better because it consolidates the profits (ever heard of "cut out the middle man?") Why would the Mexican cartel allow your scenario when they could just get from China?

@GuardedbyRavens @Bachman314 @shipwreckedcrew set up large illicit drug manufacturing plants, not only monetarily, but rival gangs or cartels want to maintain control of the supply so they can have all the money, so they will kill you. 2) The fewer steps and the fewer people along the path of production the better because...

How the fook do you know Venezuelan trafficking organizations don't have a role in Fentanyl trafficking???? I spent 20 years prosecuting drug traffickers including groups connected to Mexican cartels. ALL these organizations are poly-drug. They don't care what drug is involved -- they will traffic what is available and what makes them money. This isn't like being a Ford Dealer who is competing with the Chevy Dealer the next block over. The drug is just a commodity. The type of drug is just an issue of available supply. But it is all one market. They all feel the impact of interdiction efforts.
Alex Berenson@AlexBerenson

These attacks will save precisely ZERO American lives. We don't get fentanyl from Venezuela. We get cocaine from Venezuela. And we get amphetamine (aka legal cocaine) from CVS. FROM DOCTORS. FOR OUR KIDS. The US needs serious anti-drug policies. These murders undercut those.

@Cowboy6482 @josephdelong @visionergeo you're totally fine with launching a $150k missile from a $50m helicopter that costs $10k per hour to run to hit a vehicle but a $70k drone is too expensive.

@Cowboy6482 @josephdelong @visionergeo You can't use $400 drones - a high end jamming-resistant radio receiver alone will cost far more than that. You're meant to be able to carry multiple - that's why they pack up into (and can launch from) small tubes and weigh less than 10lbs. I don't know why...

@DerekR82244 @SamaHoole Never seen it, but if it is about a *group* of people whose *heritable* characteristics change over *generations* then yes it is evolution.

@xFortune @SamaHoole According to that definition of evolution, The Hills Have Eyes is an evolutionary tale. This is the next evolution of mankind.

The banana argument for evolution: "Look how perfectly designed bananas are for human consumption!" Wild banana: 90% seeds, barely edible, bitter, tiny Modern banana: Seedless genetic mutant, pure sugar, artificially ripened with ethylene gas Evolution didn't design this. Humans did.

@DerekR82244 @SamaHoole I'm aware. If the population never splits up geographically then they will usually keep interbreeding because they're of the same species in the same place.

@Cowboy6482 @josephdelong @visionergeo And what if soldiers need loitering missiles rather than being able to strap another grenade to a drone? There's a reason kamikaze drones are used. I don't know why you think you know more than people who have spent their whole lives doing weaponeering.

@xFortune @josephdelong @visionergeo For various reasons, yes. We'll go back to the basic one. Drones have the capability of being recovered and rearmed. That is cheaper than treating them like loitering missiles.

@DerekR82244 @SamaHoole The answer is the same - populations diverged geographically, stopped cross-breeding, had different environments which means different selective pressures, leading to gradually different genetics over generations.

@xFortune @SamaHoole Cope. Why are some tigers white and others are orange? The answer to that question is trivial. Why are there more than two species on the planet? That's the question which matters. That's what evolution needs to explain. That can only be explained by speciation.

@DerekR82244 @SamaHoole Do you know what an umbrella term is? Just because speciation is evolution doesn't mean that all evolution is speciation. A car is not a truck but both things are automobiles. Just because something is an automobile doesn't mean it has to be a truck.

@xFortune @SamaHoole According to your own dumb logic, if they're described by different words then they must be different things. Which means speciation and adaptation can't both be evolution. Because they're different words.
