The biggest wall standing between Iran and a deal with Trump is Iranian ego. If Tehran were to commit to dismantling its nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and militias, I would advise American negotiators to offer it a ladder to climb over that wall. In other words, a face saving off-ramp.

For the entirety of human history until approximately 1911, cooking fat was produced as follows.
You cooked meat. Fat rendered from the meat. You collected the fat in a pot or jar. You used it to cook the next meal.
This process was not invented. It was not engineered. It was not chemically validated. It required no solvent extraction, no bleaching agents, no deodorisation, no synthetic antioxidants, and no regulatory approval.
It was noticed. By the first person who cooked meat near a container.
The fat that emerged from this process was predominantly saturated and monounsaturated. It was stable at room temperature. It could be stored for months without significant degradation. It tasted good. It cooked well at high heat. It contained fat-soluble vitamins in bioavailable form.
It was replaced by something requiring a petrochemical solvent, six processing stages, and a nationally funded public health campaign to make people accept it.
The rendering pot is still available.
It costs nothing.
It works exactly as well as it always did.
Keep the fat.

The older I get, the more I realize intelligence is overrated. Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong.
The truth is that intelligence is abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t.
I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things.
Courage beats intelligence.

@I_Warned_You_68 @Maz07UK @DillyHussain88 @5Pillarsuk I’m just a little squirrel so no need to attack the way I look. 😞 You have a potty mouth that’s for sure.

@PixelCNinja @oficial_dkn In the UK originally this was only available in Electronic Boutique.

Did you know?
Super Street Fighter II was one of the largest SNES carts ever at 32 megs. It finally brought the "Four New Challengers" home, pushing the hardware to its limit to fit all that arcade data.

@AltDelete74 @josephkazUK @ClareCraigPath @haringeycouncil The third world? Mogadishu? wtf are you talking about?
English

@josephkazUK @ClareCraigPath @haringeycouncil I totally agree but do you think the third world care about things like design? I and many people do but around there it’s like Mogadishu.

This is Seven Sisters Road in @haringeycouncil. It's an utter embarrassment that we have allowed our high streets to deteriorate to this point.
This parade of shops could be a landmark destination, but instead it's neglected and forgotten.
I'm all for liberalising planning BUT design codes have a place, and this is a great example. No satellite dishes, no PVC, no estate agent signs, no white paint. Just consistent signage, colours and high-quality heritage shopfronts.

@KrischanWolf @Rozekurdno Oh please. Islam would never be as powerful as it is now? What kind of revisionist BS is this?

The Romans are truly a bad example.
Their lengthy and largely unsuccessful wars with Persia were one of the main reasons why the still unified empire split.
Later, East Rome (Byzantium) and Persia exhausted each other so much in their wars that both empires could not fend off the Islamic expansion.
One could likely say: without the exhausting wars between East Rome and Persia, we would not have to deal with the current situation, as Islam would never have become as powerful as it is now.

Macedonians did it, Greeks did it, Romans did it, Arabs did it, and Turks did it.

O Allah, protect the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries and all Muslim lands from every harm and evil. Grant them safety, peace, and prosperity. Unite their people, strengthen their hearts, and keep them away from trials, both seen and unseen.
O Allah, grant victory to the oppressed, repel the aggression of the aggressors, and turn their plots against them. Whoever intends harm for Muslims, occupy them with themselves and return their evil upon them.
O Allah, protect the blood, honor, and wealth of the Muslims. Grant them a strong and honorable victory, and be their protector, supporter, and helper.

Hillbilly writes book on hillbillies being too entitled; becomes vice president and sends hillbillies to die for history's most entitled parasite state.

JD VANCE: “Iran was going to use Nuclear Suicide Vests to kill tens of thousands of people. That’s why they had to attack.” These people still haven’t realized that we’re not buying a word of their Israeli-written propaganda bullshit.

To all the sunni arab morons who fell for the anti assad propoganda, congrats.

Absolute bombshell. Former Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent admits the US government intentionally armed Al Qaeda and created ISIS in Syria. They deliberately unleashed a global terror network just to overthrow Assad and protect Israel.

America right now is undergoing a comprehensive, preemptive, counter-insurgency strategy. You are going to be made stupider, less skilled, less competent, sicklier, weaker, more addicted, less and less connected to reality. It is quite literally Jim Jones and the kool aid.
They don't even have to engineer a pandemic. They just have to sell you organ failure pills and cancer injections, by telling you it will make you lose weight, have smoother skin, and build muscle. And you will pay thousands of dollars for the privilege of long-term catastrophic illness.
It is a slow-motion culling.

Please study the Qur'ān. I beg you, don't just listen to the sweet voices or just read in Arabic. Study it in your preferred language and make sure to think over it.
Muslims are thinkers. Muslims are ponderers. Muslims are readers. Pleased read. Read Islamic contents. Read Islamic History. Read Islamic legislations. Please read, as a Muslim.
There's so much abundance of knowledge, nuance and guidance in this deen that will never be exhausted. And the fun fact is that all of them are derived from the Qur'ān. All with basis and rulings. This is why scholars derive immense depths and benefits from verses you would randomly skim past on a windy Tuesday evening.
Please, read the Qur’ān. Please. May Allah grant you steadfastness upon haqq.

C’mon Gad, this is just too stupid. What you’re demonstrating is not humility, it’s elitism and cowardice.
I’m not very upset, I’m quite happy for you to essentially give me a victory by default.
Either engage in the argument or stop talking shit, that’s what a man with integrity would do. This is just weak.
