@PabloMakes Because it means free money for AI implementation (be it data centres, training hardware, whatever). And AI = to the moon. That's the same stock market that pushed the price of crude oil down after strikes killed the shipping just because some sweet words from US president.

It's so gross that a company can layoff 30,000 people, THIRTY thousand and their stock just goes to the moon. The incentives for corporations are just so fucked up.

@RKelanic @sandylanceley @disco___cat It also introduced pickup trucks and SUVs as a replacement for reasonable urban cars in the US. And that stupidity is creeping elsewhere as well.

@sandylanceley @disco___cat Yes it almost certainly will. The 1973-4 oil shock incentivized fuel efficiency and other changes that reduced the global economic reliance on oil by 50% (meaning the world consumed half the oil it needed in 1973 to produce each unit of global economic output).

French gov’t: —30-40% of Gulf refining capacity destroyed —11 million barrels/day offline —full repairs could take 3 years Under normal conditions, most oil infrastructure, including refineries, can be repaired pretty quickly. But we’ve never seen oil industry damage on this scale, all at once, since at least WWII in Europe. france24.com/en/france-conf…

@IWDominate There was a post on reddit today asking why is it that Eastern teams are bad and not Western teams are good when these things happen. Common answer was "NA fans salt." I expect nothing but stupidity from this fanbase.

I actually wonder why people are so fast to dismiss Xun. Skewmond is insane, but it feels like people are so quick to crown him best jungler in the world when Xun has been an absolute monster this tournament and outplayed him 2 days ago when BLG 3-0'd G2. I wonder why its not at least a conversation as to who is better?

@Nymaera I now know how you feel. This is atrocious.

@xecute_e @AzaelOfficial GenG made it top8, BFX made it top8. GenG failed on the door to semifinals, BFX failed on the door to semifinals. Do you people need everything to have exactly the same labels to be able to compare?

@SeeSamainen @AzaelOfficial They lost in play-offs and BFX lower bracket at group stage.

LCK almost always sends teams with mega veterans, and it's been forever since we've seen any team go international without Faker / Chovy / Bdd / Showmaker / Zeka. Lots of young players w/o tons of experience on BFX & it's the biggest LCK crash out probably since 2018 Afreeca?!

@honkwind @EricRichards22 Give me Brabhas as Paul Artreides. Go full Baahubali. What a cinema it's be.

@EricRichards22 Sorry saar. Best we can do is Bollywood version.

They will have spent a billion dollars making Nu-Dune and the best version is still going to be the basic cable miniseries

@CohhCarnage You also like to reload in RPGs and Turn Based games.

I'm in this tweet and I don't like it.

@piplupv12 @PabloMakes @ONEESAMASama Is this your first day on the Internet?

@PabloMakes @ONEESAMASama Nobody will be mad at you changing it Just buff and nerf what you need to

Problem is Volts 4th uses fake Electricity instead of the actual status, 13 year old decision. I did look into changing it a few years ago, but couldn't match the exact behavior of the fake version with real ones, and some of the changes could be seen as nerfs, so left it alone.

@ChrisO_wiki Tbf, to carry on despite absurd hardship is one of the rare admirable traits of Russians. And there's no shortage of absurd hardship in Russia even before they end in prisons.

Inside an ICE detention centre. Put it this way, I've never heard of this happening in Russia's notoriously brutal prison colonies.

@EvanFeigenbaum To do it this suddenly and thoughtlessly was kinda unexpected indeed but the fact that their success relied on Freedom of the Seas, almost solely guaranteed by US should've been obvious, no? Not on US this one.

To be fair, not many people outside Asia either thought the U.S. would be batshit crazy enough to simultaneously destroy its Asian allies competitiveness with trade policy, jeopardize their energy security with foreign policy, withdraw from or stay outside every regional trade pact and rule-writing process, and attempt to coerce allies every which way from Sunday. But here we are.

@rebeccabutlerm2 @simonmaechling @tonymc39 Depending on amounts and situation one can easily reverse these statements.

@simonmaechling @tonymc39 I’d just like to add: Sodium is bad. Sodium chloride isn’t. Mercury is bad Ethyl mercury isn’t. Hydrogen is very bad Dihydrogen oxide is everywhere and rather tasty.

I’m a chemist. I need to say this - because it’s getting dangerous out there. The biggest health myth in the world isn’t about vaccines. Or GMOs. Or fluoride. It’s the root of all of them. It’s called chemophobia - and it’s killing science. Fear of “chemicals” now drives vaccine rejection, GMO bans, food hysteria, and entire political movements. From tampons to tap water, people have been taught to fear chemistry - the very thing that keeps us alive. Chemophobia tells us: “Natural is good.” “Synthetic is bad.” That’s a lie. Botulinum toxin is 100% natural and one of the deadliest molecules known. Aspirin is synthetic and life-saving. We’ve gone from banning harmful substances for good reason…to banning safe, well-tested molecules for emotional reasons. You’ve seen the slogans: “If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it.” “Paraben-free.” “Clean beauty.” They sound empowering. But they’re not science - they’re marketing. And they’re making the world dumber, poorer, and sicker. Your body doesn’t care if a molecule comes from a plant or a lab. Vitamin C is vitamin C. Formaldehyde is formaldehyde and your body makes more of it every day than any vaccine ever could. Dose matters. Source doesn’t. This fear isn’t harmless. It shapes public policy. It blocks innovation. It raises food prices. It slows down cancer treatments. Chemophobia is now mainstream and it’s costing lives. Scientists aren’t losing because we’re wrong. We’re losing because fear spreads faster than facts. Because influencers sell fear for clicks. Because lawyers monetize doubt. And because scientists are too tired to fight back. So here’s my message, as a chemist and as a citizen: Learn how toxicology works. Call out chemical fear-mongering. Support policies based on evidence, not emotion. Chemistry isn’t the enemy. It’s the reason you have clean water, safe food, and modern medicine. If we let fear win, we lose all of it.

@amazingmap Estonia is wrong. The most recent invasion was in 1944. The re-reinvasion during WWII. I bet it's similar with other Baltic states

The last time each European country was invaded

@kanez2874 @LookAtMyMeat1 Especially given the difference US troops were drafted and supplied and trained vs Soviet conscripts. Fucking dehumanising.

@kanez2874 @LookAtMyMeat1 Charismatic and stellar performance from Gary Oldman. But the classic case of US soldier having cynicism towards their propaganda and joking about it and Soviet soldier drenched in it and expressing sincerely. Yuck. Was there in CoD1, was there in CoD2, was there in WaW.

I have to say this. I now understand why so many people take the black pill suppository in regards to Call of Duty. I just finished Black Ops 1 and 2 and it is just crazy. Black Ops 1 had a campaign, multiplayer, zombies, Dead Ops Arcade, and fucking ZORK. That’s five games in one for 60 bucks for a game that worked on launch. Black Ops 2 did even more with the campaign to make it like an arcade and even customizable. Just remember, these games were considered slop back then. Now, they would be game of the year if they came out today

@kanez2874 @LookAtMyMeat1 Treyarch (Black Ops) had always been more macho and over the top in your face with the story compared to Infinity Ward (Modern Warfare). They were the slop in that comparison. I suppose the MP and Zombies fun compensated for the cartoonish stupidity of Reznov.

@LookAtMyMeat1 Black Ops 2? SLOP?! That's the greatest of all time you're talking about.

@amazingmap Venezuela is missing. Naiguata sank after a brief battle with cruise ship RCGS Resolute.

Countries that have lost a surface warship in combat since 2000

@IWDominate Please get Mind Body Esports or something similar to untangle that thing in Blaber's head that makes him so desperate in high pressure games.

Just weren’t good enough, nothing else to say. This is the worst that LYON will ever be so if we don’t improve we don’t deserve to win our region.

@SeanJen50087376 @IronlilyS I don't care much about what she said. I also enjoy her romantasy parody (and now sci-fi) and her sword fight scene breakdowns. And I want her to continue. And the collab. I just want to make sure that if IronLily wades into a controversy zone it's a measured not uninformed step.

@SeeSamainen @IronlilyS I wasn't aware she said anything one way or the other on gender identity. All I've ever seen her do is armor and cinematic swordfighting reviews. And the her Romcom novels and the trials of self publishing. And Cheese.

Thanks to my fans I discovered Jill Bearup on Youtube today. I wish she rates my drawing someday🙏🥹

@IronlilyS And to be clear I'd also love to see that collab, I just don't want you to get surprise harassed.

@IronlilyS Be careful as there are people who will voice their displeasure her for some of her takes on trans issues. Tom Scott was pressured to take down a collab video with her. I haven't had an issue with her but I'm also a rando who won't get harassed for "platforming". Good luck!
