🧵Thought I’d share a bit of game footage from my most developed game, Ridge Run: kaviox.com/ridge-run/. This is the Jeep. It starts a bit slow, but it gets better fast

@class_traitor_ @ViiiZachary @Hezbolsonaro What is the Wycliffite Bible to you? There were more than just Byzantines translating the text, you know. If anything, Luther took more inspiration from English proto-Protestant Lollards than he did anything coming out of Italy…
English
@ViiiZachary @Hezbolsonaro lol without Mehmed’s canons blasting down the walls of Constantinople you don’t have the Greek scholars fleeing to Italy and translating the Bible thus seeding the Reformation.

This is of course a totally futile exercise but how hot a take is it to say Buddhism would have spread further west

.@POTUS: "Honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence — but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. Long before Americans had a nation or Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea."

Automobile kill-switches are coming soon to car dealerships near you.
I teamed up w/ Scott Perry & Chip Roy to defund this Orwellian mandate, but too many colleagues (Republican & Democrat) voted against us, so the federal mandate for every new car after 2026 is still in place.
Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie
Federal law says new cars after 2026 must monitor drivers and shut down if the car disapproves. Your dashboard should not be judge, jury, and executioner. @RepScottPerry @RepChipRoy offered an amendment to defund the automobile kill switch mandate. Here’s our debate:

@paulcritchlow @ValDelamere Well yes, but if you’ve taken a philosophy class at uni you’ll know how low of a bar being called a ‘philosopher’ is.
English
@ValDelamere I agree, but surveys have shown responses are about split, even among *philosophers*.

am i missing something or is the answer really easy? since the predictor is guaranted to be correct just take box B since it would've predicted that you did that lol?

@RepublicApostle @roccityzd @RedEaglePatriot Sorry Republic Apostle, but we’re deporting you next. You can go on the ship with Ilhan Omar and that one Arab guy with the pixel art profile picture. You guys will get along swimmingly!

@roccityzd @RedEaglePatriot Bingo.

Guy with “America First” in his bio telling people to vote for a spiritually leftist dual citizen with CTE against the top immigration hawk in Congress who authored the bill that would ban dual citizens from Congress…
I’ll say it again: Israel obsession is a mental illness.

@nobodyknows2322 this is kind of just what the US as a whole already exports
English
I suspected it would be a petroleum exporting superpower, and the clanker confirmed this suspicion
Other big exports would be automobiles (one of the world's biggest manufacturers thereof), aerospace tech and parts, medical devices/equipment, and computer chips

So ran it by ChatGPT and some Wiki-style stats for the region using these borders w/world rankings:

The most insane part of the actual Louvre heist that happened a few months ago is that the stolen goods have yet to be recovered, leading authorities to believe that the jewels were likely punched out of the historic French jewelry/tiaras and the metal melted down.
These retards stole $100,000,000+ worth of precious heirlooms, melted them down for pennies on the dollar, then all got caught and arrested immediately afterwards.
Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.
Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@DrewPavlou
What exactly is the socialist case for stealing from the Louvre It’s a publicly owned museum, created when the French revolutionary government seized the royal palace from the monarchy and opened it to the public Hasan Piker just equates leftism with being anti-social

@MattOsterndorf @TaupeAvenger Most churches ran be someone who once had half a brain also have their own investment funds worth a million or more that they a percent of the annual profit off of to fund their operations. So add another $200k ish depending on size and how well the Dow does that year.
English
@MattOsterndorf @TaupeAvenger Sound math, but church-goers tend to be older, and among Protestant churches, wealthier.
In my experience (being on the board of a church with ~70-80 weekly attendees), closer to $800k/y can be expected
English
70 people on a Sunday is a very small congregation to support any professional clergy or a building.
Ryan Burge 📊@ryanburge
If you attend a church that averages 80 people on Sunday, that's higher than the median. If your church has 300 folks show up, that's 4x higher than the median. The average church is small, folks. 70 people is the median.

EU5's first DLC "Fate of the Phoenix" will release roughly 6 months after release of the game on the 6th of May!
- Bespoke Byzantine Content & Mechanics
- Hellenistic content
- Art assets!
Will you be playing?
English
@idealforreal @ProudBavaria To be fair, China and Asia Minor have been some of the most egregiously bad areas, only after the HRE.
Also this year’s DLC schedule is already released… After Byz, we’re getting Spain/Morocco followed by France/Scotland.
English
@ProudBavaria Waste of game resources, should have been a DLC focused on not a meme/alt history playthrough. Paradox has been catering to Chinese players too much, CK3 got Byzantines (Lots of Chinese Byzaboos) and then China, won’t be surprised if China is announced as a focus for an EUV DLC.

@OrdistOracle @Entengummitiger @abhinav999911 @nikicaga The modern infantry fights mounted in vehicles that the Nazi infantry have limited, if any, capable to defeat. The modern IFV has a larger engagement range with its chain guns and antitank missiles than anything the Nazis could muster. On the infantry front, modern Germany wins
English
I agree with you completely in terms of tanks, even the best tanks and planes of WW2 would be obliterated by any modern mediocre model of tank or plane. TBH you probably wouldn’t even need modern Tanks and Planes, just drones. But I think the technological difference between the Army infantry is overstated, which is why I think 1941 Germany at least has a chance.
English
Since everyone correctly concluded Ukraine wins in weeks, here's a more interesting question- what's the largest modern country 1941 Germany could defeat?

@jahzbf70554 @charleswayne13 @PatrickRuffini But it was. All of the exit data says it was, the results say it was, and the VA Dems say it was. If you voted ‘no,’ you are no longer a Democrat. It’s really that simple!
English
@charleswayne13 @PatrickRuffini Yes, more democratic voters said yes than no. Thats how voting works.
But nearly every republican voter voted No here, while a decent chunk of democratic voter either didnt turn out or also voted no.
Its definitely not a good assumption to say this was a partyline vote

WOW: The Lobster district only voted Yes by 0.3% despite being Harris +7.

@NapoleonBonabot I will personally wager you $10 that Reps do not get 214 or better.

Oh? Virginia redistricted to be 10-1 Dem?

@ThePrimaryClone @ChristianHeiens Because Fairfax, the largest and one of the bluest counties in the state, is the only one still counting ballots, 70% of which are for ‘yes’

@ChristianHeiens By 0.4% with every other fucking county voting No? How ?

@TomEDewey1948 This is because Sam Brownback ran Kansas into the ground lmao

For a strong GOP year, Kansas Republicans did struggle a bit in 2014. twitter.com/TomEDewey1948/…

Today is former Kansas Senator Pat Roberts' 90th birthday. He is the first person in US History to serve as both Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee (1995-1997) and Senate Agriculture Committee (2015-2021). I will always remember the electoral scare he got in 2014!

Truly great cities will only succeed if they prepare, though. Only a fraction of a percent of people who want to move to NYC or LA can afford to, and they’ll settle for second-rate cities like DFW and Atlanta in the mean time.
Urban planners shouldn’t walk into the second third of the 21st century thinking they’ve got it easy - it’s really quite the contrary!
English
Japan is an advanced case of trends present in nearly every developing country and it seems like: (a) superstar cities will be fine, (b) second tier cities/regional hubs will struggle, and (c) everything else -- smaller cities, towns, rural areas -- will be in free fall.

A lot of countries are going to absolutely plummet in population in the next 75 years. You might see more images like this, an old stadium. Once grand infrastructure, no longer able to be sustained for its intended purpose, remade into something new but more mundane. Like those living in the ruins of Roman civilization.
