@rantsnbants30 @isaacrrr7 @SantiagoAuFund Ah yes, another person that's as sharp as a marble thinking international trade under the guise of ""free trade"" is a free market (disingenuously called ""capitalism""), hint it's not.

@isaacrrr7 @SantiagoAuFund I thought capitalism works

Javier Milei: “No tengo nada en contra de los artistas. Yo mismo tuve una banda de rock. Mi problema es que si necesitas una subvención del gobierno para hacer arte, ya no eres un artista, eres un empleado público.” Milei es un número uno.

@Mattius_Chaos @MoshiMoshiMoan Never mess with a sonichu medallion, fastest way to hit rock bottom and become a lolcow for life.

@MoshiMoshiMoan Friend of Nick Rekieta btw

Everyone can call off the search now, turns out they were at the courthouse telling the judge he was a pedophile.

@Brokoff81 @KarlLucas270961 @RazorFist I think it's made its money back. The biggest 2 problems for the movie was that whoever did the advertisement was atrocious (I didn't even know it was a movie until I was at the theater for a different one) and it was released during the 3d craze (which meant it was 3d too).

@KarlLucas270961 @RazorFist Query: did it make great money on dvd?

Hear me out.

@pureMetatron That's no where close to omniscience, and quite a poor analogy. It fails to meet the grand existence of a being that exists beyond space and time, which knows all that will be if he puts into motion and willingly does so. Your father knowing your preferences comes no where close.

@Sub_Aquila My dad knows I love to play the piano. If he is told that his son was going to have to choose between playing an amazing piano or playing baseball (I hate it), he already knows what I'm gonna choose. His knowledge does not remove my free will to choose what I like.

Not a sound argument. A human trying to reason what God wants and how he should go about manifesting his desires, is like an ant arguing what humans want, when we build quantum computers. It is the ultimate arrogance to try to logically reason God out of existence. You can choose to not believe in Him. But once we engage with the concept of a God, to make statements about what a being whose intelligence and complexity is far beyond ours wants, or should do, based on your reasoning and expectations rather than scripture, is arrogant beyond any measure. If God exists, already our description of "good" is only a fragment of His true nature, which we cannot comprehend nor linguistically define. Our languages are not apt for this. We can only approximate. Given that, even using our limited language to describe Him, God is a Father. He is a parent. Does a 7 year old child understand why his dad insists he goes to school? Even though he doesn't want to? Does the child understand how much he will miss out in life if he doesn't? Career, marriage etc.? Yet the child trusts the parent, because the parent knows better. When we have faith in God, we trust Him because we know He knows better, even when things appear out of place, or illogical from our limited child-like perspective. As for the states of all powerful and good being somehow a contradiction to salvation for all, you have to add Justice. God is Just. He is justice in a way we will never achieve in this life with our laws and governments. He is all powerful and all good, but he is also just. So a truly evil being, who does not repent, will not be saved. Justice is also part of the plan.

@no_name_monke @Tectone No one is saying she can't *want* love, but that she's likely to never find it because of her actions that she willingly took.

@Tectone I think if she's sincere, she has a right to want Love.

Onlyfans prostitutes need to understand that your life will be great (if things work out) untilyou hit your mid-late 30’s. The consequences of your lifestyle will catch up to you. No man will want you and the Shame of how you lived your life will haunt you.

@Grummz Why not self publish then (particularly how easy it is to do today)? I'm willing to bet there is far more to the story, they probably also wanted a shit load of money to go along with that project that relied solely on sales to recoup.

Crimson Desert was the Great Filter for publishers. The West failed.

@M4TT808T @ChinaUncensored Maybe about 10 years ago you could argue that. More companies are leaving China than going there to produce. There are cheaper places and they don't steal your IP.

@ChinaUncensored world wouldn't survive a week without manufacturing from china, both sides need each other equally

In this week’s free newsletter, a phone call this week between US President Donald Trump and CCP Chairman Xi Jinping quietly revealed how much China needs the US. chinauncensored.substack.com/p/xi-jinpings-…

@AshtonForbes @ShawnRyan762 He worked for the CIA and you're wondering when he sold out.

@ShawnRyan762 When did you sell out your country? Crazy.

A few weeks ago, he said he was going to liberate the Iranian people from an evil regime. Now he has changed his plan to kill them all. The President of the United States in a nutshell...

@MichaelDChaney @jarvis_best Obviously not, but do you really expect an inside trader to understand what an unrealized gain is when they can't even compete without cheating?

@jarvis_best “Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.” He does? Did he sell all of his stocks at full market price?

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could build this entire high speed rail network—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@sigilstone18 @ChinaUncensored Well it's only fitting considering they were the ones to launch first in FO, prior to any modern day leftist revisionism of the series.

@ChinaUncensored Chinese industrial expertise and izzat culture in charge of so many nuclear power plants. China's gonna get turned into Fallout without a single bomb being dropped

Maybe Cold War 2.0 will have a Chernobyl 2.0

@jrrdesertfox9 @DudespostingWs And I bet you wonder why Christianity has lost so much ground in the West, but never considered that you and people like you are why.

@DudespostingWs Trivializing Christ's importance by making him a fun little toy.

Optimus Christ

@TommyTucker091 @JohnBa99837 @Sargon_of_Akkad So, you're confirming that at least a hundred people have to die before Iran becomes a big enough threat, or would you prefer thousands?

@Sub_Aquila @JohnBa99837 @Sargon_of_Akkad I think the IRGC should be designated a terror threat by our government. As should the Muslim Brotherhood. Still don't see what that has to do with this.

In reality, you're going to do whatever is expedient.

@TwinPeaksEnjoy @RealKingRimmer @TommyTucker091 @JohnBa99837 @Sargon_of_Akkad Ah so it will take hundred if not thousands of people to die for your cowardice before you consider taking action, thanks for the answer.

@Sub_Aquila @RealKingRimmer @TommyTucker091 @JohnBa99837 @Sargon_of_Akkad Ah the ever trustworthy source of MI-5. Lmao.

@kingndanorff @Grummz For those wondering this tweet is possibly from the laziest person in the world that couldn't bother to type a few words into a search engine to find the Eurogamer article that the headline is from.

@Grummz so for the record, I am not seeing anything official to back this up. You got a source for this? Or does this have to do with Mark Hamill being involved?

The Mass Effect TV show from Amazon is now officially f*cked.

@TwinPeaksEnjoy @RealKingRimmer @TommyTucker091 @JohnBa99837 @Sargon_of_Akkad Iran doesn't just ""defend"" itself. The MI-5 director has openly stated they've had to stop 20 attempted terrorist plots backed by Iran since 2022. Do you require people to be sacrificed to your cowardice before you act against such a disgusting regime?

@RealKingRimmer @TommyTucker091 @JohnBa99837 @Sargon_of_Akkad How does Iran defending itself affect me in any way?

@TommyTucker091 @JohnBa99837 @Sargon_of_Akkad What a fucking cuck. Your own MI-5 director's said since 2022 they've responded to 20 Iranian backed terror plots. How many more attempted attacks will it take from Iran and its proxies before they become a threat? Or you won't care until you sacrifice people to your cowardice?

I think I can speak for most Brits that oppose getting involved. Our view is that Israel expects US and European soliders to die fighting Iran for them. They have managed to manipulate Trump into doing this. Thankfully, they have not manipulated Europe and, more importantly, the UK. Now both Israel and the US are having a bit of a tantrum because their manipulation and gaslighting has missed the mark.

@Cryzthormagnus @x73rmin8r @RazorFist I was more so refuting the assertion that Phlox wanted those people to die rather than him arguing from the standpoint that nature should take its course. And I would have written a much, much longer post on the various nuances of the episode if I didn't have limited characters.

@Sub_Aquila @x73rmin8r @RazorFist It wasn't just that the one species was dying, it was also that another species was immune and evolutionarily bound to be the dominant species. Interfering with the evolution of the planet would have doomed the immune species. Classic Prime Directive style conundrum.

If Neelix wasn't peel-your-face-off annoying

@x73rmin8r @RazorFist Phlox doesn't "want" them to die, they had simply reached an evolutionary dead end; the argument was whether they had the right to play god with another species rather than to let nature take its course.

@RazorFist That one episode where Flox wanted that race to die because evolution had "selected" them to die makes him 9000x worse than Neelix. Archer's character was also morally wounded by that episode. Worst episode of all of (real) Star Trek.

@icarvsvivebat @dolcevitamaxing @MattMorseTV When I was looking it up, a while ago, one of the older continuous gov. was a Middle Eastern Arabic monarchal government, and the rest were of similar age and debated when they were officially recognized. Also the UK was reformed in 1921 (arguably it has been reformed since).

@Sub_Aquila @dolcevitamaxing @MattMorseTV Great point about our Roman and Greek cultural inheritance, but I'm racking my brain trying to think of continuous governments older than ours. I know Britain, because their civil war was 17th century. Sweden, maybe? Finland? Switzerland?

Saying that the Iranian regime represents the Zoroastrian Persian empire is like saying that the USA represents the ‘native Americans’ because we’re using Tomahawk missiles and Apache helicopters.
