@DaddyWarpig Dammit, we were gonna go to the zoo last weekend, too. Would have loved to see this. Should make her a permanent fixture.

At no point did I know what the next word would be.

@grey4626 I’d like to see these goofballs report on WWII as if it was in the modern day. “These poor Japanese civilians, engaging in their time-honored hobby of home machining, were enjoying a bright, sunny day when the American empire callously attacked”.

Ashok, you academic fuckwit... Those nighttime fireworks you’re clutching pearls over aren’t “destroying one of the oldest civilizational nations”...they’re precision-guided liberation strikes carving out the IRGC’s black heart with lethal surgical intent. These targets? Not mosques, palaces, or Persian soul, you historical illiterate. They’re IRGC command-and-control nodes, Basij repression bases, and intelligence black sites...the very torture factories where the regime’s goons have honed their craft for 47 years: electric drills on dissidents, systematic rape in secret prisons like Shahin Shahr and Dastgerd right in Isfahan province, coffin cells for protesters who dared chant “Woman, Life, Freedom.” CIA intel, defectors, and every post-1979 dossier confirm these dual-use hellholes...missile assembly under “cultural” cover, domestic terror ops run from the same compounds now smoking. The Seyyed ol Shohada Operational Base overseeing provincial crackdowns, the 14th Imam Hossein Division...those Syria-deployed butchers turned inward on their own people...Saheb ol Zaman units drenched in protest blood. This is no accident of heritage; it’s the regime embedding its instruments of oppression in urban tissue so useful idiots like you will wail about UNESCO while they waterboard the next generation. Military reality, professor: standoff munitions...Tomahawks, JDAMs, bunker-busters...degrading the internal security apparatus first. Asymmetric warfare 101: sever the enforcers’ ability to massacre their own before they can regroup. Not carpet-bombing Persepolis, but excising the tumor with the kind of standoff precision that leaves ancient monuments standing while the torturers vaporize. The psychology of the oppressed doesn’t lie...the Iranian street has risen in 2009, 2019, 2022, bleeding for freedom while Western virtue-signaling cretins equate the theocratic cancer with the host civilization it hijacked. Your narrative inverts victim and oppressor with venomous precision: the mullahs weaponize Persian pride as human shields, steal the heritage, then cry “civilization” when the cancer gets cut out. True liberation rips that boot off 85 million necks. The real Persian people aren’t weeping for lost facades...they’re praying for the day the last IRGC torturer is ash and they can breathe without the Basij’s knee on their throat. Fuck your performative tears and hollow concern. History won’t remember your tweets; it’ll record this as the excision of evil. The regime dies so Iran lives. 🗡️💀🗡️

@elonmusk Your regular reminder that there are MORE SLAVES TODAY THAN THERE HAVE EVER BEEN IN HUMAN HISTORY, many of you regularly buy the products produced by them, and the nations that use them are constantly fellated by the same UN that’s trying to pass this resolution. It’s nonsense.

Exactly

@kareem_carr Yet again, I must remind people that most what people are doing with AI are things they could not do without it. You don’t know HOW to review code, or write, or even have the patience to read and retain. It can’t make people dumber if they were too dumb to do it to begin with.

There's a toxic culture coming out of the AI industry that keeps trying to get us not to think. The message is everywhere. Don’t read the code, just vibe-code. Don’t try to understand all the text, just let AI summarize it. Don’t bother educating yourself, it’s too late. Don’t worry about the errors. Trust that everything will be fixed in the next version. The theme is the same. Don’t think too hard. Just keep swallowing the slop.

@reddit_lies “Wealth” is a meaningless term for most of the places it’s applied. It’s literally a made-up approximation with no connection to real-world dollars in the bank. We have to stop pretending that you can just declare someone to have X dollars and then say they owe more because of it

@uncledoomer You don’t even need to make a big study of it: look at MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV, literally a pay-to-play community, consistently lauded as the friendliest in the industry. Look next at the plethora of “free to play” games that are flooded with assholes. We simulate this daily.

dawg did you just ask why a shoplifter wouldnt pay money for things?

@Gormogons I’ve got Puerto Rican family. They will freely tell you this is the case. The people there actually know it’s a corruption issue, so I don’t know where all this confusion from non-Puerto Ricans is coming from. Well, I do know, propaganda, but still.

GP Puerto Rico's power crisis was caused by PREPA using every penny of the billions the federal government provided it to increase pension benefits for its greedy employees. If Puerto Ricans have an issue with their power supply, take it up with the Puerto Ricans who stole from you.

@XAVIAERD And who did it before? We always leave that part out. Was the work just left undone for decades? No, you imported workers who’d work at a fraction of the going rate, which lowered future wages to the point that others didn’t want to do it. It’s not hard to understand.

“Illegal immigrants are doing the hard field work that Americans won’t do.” = “Let’s exploit foreigners with unethical wages and unregulated labor conditions so that we can save money and effort.” Democrats love enslaving minorities—still.

@xwanyex My daughter sleeps in with me! She wakes up, I give her a bottle, she comes back to bed, and we do snuggles! And then she wakes up and wants to do play with my field recorder and we laugh and do scratch mixes of our own voices and record little interviews. It’s great.

You can make human beings. Are you listening to me? You can literally make human beings. And it gets even better than that, because they’re not like random strangers, they’re literally constructed from the same genetic code that makes you who you are. They’re made from the same parts that make up your mother or your brother or your sister or your grandmother. They are new versions of the people on this planet who you love the most. It’s the craziest thing ever. It matters more than anything else, by an extremely wide margin. The fact that people log on here and talk about how they prefer sleeping in or going to the movies whenever they want is practically demonic, by comparison.

@KhaganMassin @seamus_coughlin No, you guys just constantly take the most rock-stupid, lowest-level misinterpretation of things and just run with it, ad nauseum. You don’t have solid, logical arguments with clear facts and so you resort to either stupidity or lies, over and over. Either way, it’s not good.

ever notice how every communist government to exist "wasn't real communism" but every successful government project in a capitalist country was?

@sonohoor It had nothing to do with being “chained at the ankle”, the woman could up and leave and the dude was on the hook for any debts she’d racked up. Nobody mentions that part.

@sonohoor Aside from all the other ways it’s a lie and oversimplification, the big reason that stores asked for permission (credit cards didn’t exist yet. They were lines of credit for each store) is because the husband was legally responsible for any and all debts accumulated in marriage.

women weren't allowed to open a bank account in the usa until 1974 ??????!!???!!???!???!?!?!?!?!

@AbubakerAbedW THAT’S failure. The actual unwavering support of actual terrorists to the point where they can actually maintain their numbers during a war that apparently only kills civilians who totally have nothing to do with Hamas. Where are those new fighters coming from, by the way?

@AbubakerAbedW “Unwavering support”? Are you retarded? You made a country defend itself with one hand tied behind its back using a flood of propaganda and useful idiots, so much of it that Western countries and the UN itself have facilitated Hamas recruiting to continue and increase.

“Your army killed probably 10-12 thousand fighters…At the beginning of Oct 7, you had 25,000 in Hamas forces. Now, you have the same number, which is a failure.” Even world presidents acknowledge that the Israeli army has massively failed in Gaza despite the unwavering support

@RBReich You can totally go scrounge in the woods and do it all yourself. The government will still make you pay for it, because they’ve always been the actual problem, but nobody is stopping you from making your own stuff and gathering your own basic necessities. You just don’t want to.

@RBReich There will always be people who create things other people want, and people who aren’t willing to make those things themselves. There will always be people offering to give you resources to do a task, and people willing to do them, so they can achieve the first thing. It’s basic.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.

@JackPosobiec Walked them right down the aisle. I was clenching my butthole. Didn’t even know the whole story until I got home. They had a second checkpoint at the gate. People bought books to read at duty free, and then had to throw them in a trash bag to get on the plane. It was nuts.

@JackPosobiec lol I was literally on the plane they tried to blow up that way. Got delayed at Heathrow for 6 hours. All luggage had to be checked. Cash and mechanical watches in a plastic bag. Passenger list had to be cleared with Washington before takeoff. Two guys got taken off the plane.

Not being able to bring liquids on aircraft serves no viable security purpose It is a corporate handout to companies that sell overpriced products inside the airport They heavily lobby for this restriction to stay in place

@backendoc Can’t wait for my daughter to be old enough to actually draw figures on my PS5 like that. Pill the plates, lacquer them, put them back, and keep it as a treasure.

how would you react if your kids did this to your ps5?
