X-Files: I Want To Redeem

I want my X filter to have a slide bar. I don’t want all thirst traps to go away. Every once in a while is fine. World sucks Propaganda AI slop WW2 history Rome Boobs Propaganda World sucks Bitcoin scam AI scam Bitcoin scam Propaganda AI slop Ai slop Propaganda

It’s like a South American version of day in the life at an email job in Seattle.

Part of the “this sucks” was the expectations were too high. The second was typical Lucas Dialogue issues. Also Disney said hold my overpriced beer at animal kingdom. After Disney they look great.

I genuinely can't understand how the previous generation saw this in 2005 and said "this sucks"

Having been there holding my wife’s legs in a hospital during labor I have no idea how we survived as a species without hospitals.

@MetamateDaz I never got to take spring break. I just worked extra at the restaurant that week.

My Gen Z cousin told me he spent $5K for spring break (flights, hotel, drinks etc.). I would drive to a beach, 6 of us in one car, all share the same hotel room, eat ramen, and go to the club before 11 so entry was free. am I just a boomer now or is that insane?

@JTAlexander_ But but Julius Caesar was dictator!

I dislike the *meme* of Roman History, because while many people know gists and vibes, they don't seem to know the particulars. A good litmus test is one's view of the Late Republic. If someone speaks fondly of the Late Republic, they are most likely either a rube or projecting. Our Founders, for example, projected their Enlightenment views onto a Republic that held virtually zero of those views. (See pic related; in this instance I don't apply it only to modern Leftists, but Classical Liberals in general.) Caesar didn't just appear out of nowhere. The only truly unprecedented things Caesar did was cross the Rhine and the English Channel. He wasn't even the first to "cross the Rubicon" in his own lifetime. If you know the detailed history of the Republic, rather than act like its final demise was some tragedy forced by the tyrannical mad dog known as Gaius Julius Caesar, you'd recognize that it was a terminally sick institution in the midst of collapse that was ultimately *saved* by Caesar's consolidation of power, his leaving it to the Triumvirate, and then Octavian's re-consolidation of that power into one supreme First Citizen. The Principate didn't create some new Office of the Emperor. Octavian consolidated power that already existed in various forms so that rather than a bunch of guys fighting civil wars over and over, which were frequent events, there was some stability. This stability led to the most widespread period of peace the world would know for more than a thousand years in either direction. If you consider this a bad outcome, then you're just not a serious interlocutor.

@shipwreckedcrew Most states with progressive taxe systems usually jump in with higher rates soon after the max is reached anyway. NJ takes an additional 1% at 200k Fed takes an additional 8% at 200k You get 10-15k before other taxes come in

The it no longer becomes a "contribution" to one's own Social Security "account", it is just a tax on wages to fund a Govt funded social welfare program for the elderly. That's NOT was SS was designed to be.

@SandyofCthulhu The slow cooking of meat loaf probably works well with wagyu. The wagyu fat does not like high heat at all. I cook wagyu burgers on the smoker not the grill. Only a 30s sear to finish.

Well Wagyu Meatloaf sounds like a horrible waste of good meat. Honestly this menu is all over the place - no theme. So I’d get the simplest dish, hoping they won’t screw it up. Either the ribeye or the garlic noodles.

@AlexanderPayton I don’t think the USA would have fired a shot. I could see the USA just ignoring Denmark and upgrading the bases and logistics to the base.

No one who believes the United States would have annexed Greenland by force belongs anywhere near power. Complete inability to understand reality. The fact that this was what the Europeans thought was going to happen should set off alarm bells.

@politicalmath AI writes about 90% of my code now but only with very specific instructions and in small discrete chunks. The Agent magic fails after a week after you start to fully trust it.

I just wrote about how Anthropic is the worst AI company because they make these promises that are clearly aimed at CEOs and their goal is to get them to lay off 40% of their workforce and replace them with Anthropic products But their promises are false

@ChiefEngineerCE Dealt with 3 different companies developer support this week and all 3 replied with work avoidance responses instead of solving or looking at the problem. All are remote call centers.

Galgotias University Just Gave Us the Perfect Case Study in Why Offshoring Kills Innovation. As an engineer who has spent decades designing complex electromechanical systems, scaling production lines, and watching IP walk out the door, today’s Galgotias University press release hit me like a textbook case study in how the offshoring game actually works. I can't tell you the number of conferences but it's in the high dozens of trade-shows, and conferences I have been to where a 'me too' product is actually a reverse engineered stolen design from a reputable company that spent millions developing and certifying it. For those who missed it: Galgotias University (Greater Noida, India) got kicked out of the India AI Impact Summit after a representative presented a Chinese-made Unitree Go2 quadruped robot branded “Orion” as a product developed by their Centre of Excellence. When caught, the university issued a formal apology admitting their rep was “ill-informed,” gave “factually incorrect information,” and had no authority to speak on it. They vacated the premises. This is the chain in plain sight: Boston Dynamics spends decades and hundreds of millions developing the Spot robot - advanced hydraulic/electric actuators, dynamic balance algorithms, perception stacks, rugged field reliability. Real, protected IP. China copies it aggressively (Unitree, Xiaomi, multiple others). They reverse-engineer the hardware, replicate the software behaviors, and sell knockoffs at a fraction of the price. India then imports the Chinese copy, rebrands it slightly, puts a university logo on the booth at a national AI summit, and tries to claim it as “Indian innovation” for prestige and funding. Then it turns out they burned through 39 million in funding with zero innovation ... Oh they brought a balsa wood drone to the conference too? This isn’t isolated. This is the standard offshoring playbook extended to its logical end. From an engineering and investment perspective, here’s what it actually means: IP has no moat anymore. If you spend $500M+ and 15–20 years developing a breakthrough platform in the U.S., it gets copied in China within 18–24 months, then rebranded and paraded in India as “local excellence.” The original investors never see the full return cycle. The reward for high-risk, high-capital innovation is immediate commoditization and profit extraction elsewhere. Capital flight is rational. Why would any serious venture fund or corporate R&D budget pour money into U.S. robotics, autonomy, or advanced mechanics when the end product is going to be manufactured at slave-labor-adjacent costs in China and then marketed by institutions in India as their own? The math doesn’t close. Returns evaporate. Competence erosion compounds. The real engineering talent that created the original Spot is diluted. The people who understand the deep physics, control theory, and failure modes are replaced by teams that can only copy and slightly tweak. Over time, the entire industry loses the ability to push the frontier because the economic signal is gone. This is why the entire “offshoring saves money” mantra is a long con. It looks cheap on the spreadsheet for one quarter. It destroys the incentive structure that created the technology in the first place. It turns innovation into a game of hot-potato IP theft where the last player (the U.S. investor) always loses. Engineers who have ever had their designs or patents walked out the door to a low-cost country know exactly what I’m talking about. Investors who have watched their portfolio companies get commoditized overnight know it too. The Galgotias incident today is not embarrassing for one university. It’s a live demonstration of the end state of the offshoring model: American (or Western) invention → Chinese replication → Indian rebranding → repeat until the well runs dry. Real question for the engineers, IP lawyers, and capital allocators reading this: How many more cycles of this do you think the innovation economy can survive before the incentive to do original hard work collapses? This is why innovation collapses and I absolutely am in weekly conferences discussing if it makes sense to be first to market if second doesn't need to follow the law or put any skin in the game. Am I the only one to visit a tradeshow and see their product being featured as an Asian innovation? Or read through comments about how innovation didn't exist in American until we opened the border to H1B? Drop your observations below.

@Panzerpicture @TeamYouTube I go there for political videos and get slap fights so go figure.

@JadedDeveloper @TeamYouTube I have only interest in history videos on Rumble and still get only political nonsense on my front page.

So sad that another history channel has gone down! Can we get help @TeamYouTube ? My 155k channel was flagged for “harmful content involving minors” and “content related to sexual abuse,” which is completely false. Just a few months ago, I had to go through multiple steps to receive my creator award and verification checkmark, I was denied and after a human review, I finally got my reward. Now I can’t seem to get any help at all. What is the purpose of recognizing creators if their channels can be taken down shortly afterward without proper review? I am formally requesting a human review of my channel. My history videos do not violate YouTube’s guidelines. Why is educational content not protected anymore? I'm not the only one more then 200 creators say their YouTube channels are being demonetized or terminated under policies like: • “Harmful content involving minors” • “Misleading Family Content” • “Content related to sexual abuse” Creators affected include: @AgicusA31290 @allysonfan20 @ciconimation @danbayron6 @SLHanimation @Sangsang_Cmrce @SonicFunnyhog @StTyler68303 @rafayta @doritosreaction @HammersMar27351 @yuan_chong49275 @Dummyworld_Real @maxedystuff @MOYAM174204 @GazillLod @Z1MA777 @YTMickeysPlay @NpcUniverse @yuan_chong49275 @PlayShinyLamp @TricksteriousYT @ZeljkoRosic3 @PizzaSlice_YT #YouTubeCreators #ReinstateAllChannels

@TheCinesthetic If you don’t get that there are two levels of imagination on top of the mental hospital reality it’s WTF. Once you get it’s a coping strategy for their femininity and power being taken away it makes sense.

Sucker Punch was released 15 years ago. It was Zack Snyder’s first film based on an original idea rather than an existing comic or adaptation, giving him full control over the story and visual style.

@mjkst27 @SamaHoole @GerryGiblet Not if you are eating enough calories. Combine with some fasting and you may starve it out. Autophagy picks the weird stuff to kill first.

@SamaHoole @GerryGiblet Hypothetical: Have cancer. Eat zero carb. Won’t your gluco-neogenesis kick in and start turning your protein to glucose, which will be preferentially consumed by the cancerous tumors?

Your body runs on two fuels. Glucose and ketones. Every cell in your body can run on either. With one exception. Cancer cells have damaged mitochondria. Damaged mitochondria cannot process ketones. They run primarily on glucose, and to a lesser extent on glutamine, but ketones are off the menu entirely. This is called the Warburg Effect. It has been observed, documented, and replicated across multiple cancer types for nearly a century. PET scans, the imaging technology used to locate tumours, work by injecting radioactive glucose and watching where it concentrates. The glucose concentrates in the tumours. Because the tumours are consuming glucose at an accelerated rate. Because their broken mitochondria leave them almost no other choice. The PET scan works because cancer loves glucose. The dietitian recommending complex carbohydrates to cancer patients has had a PET scan explained to them. These two facts exist in the same hospital. On the same floor. They have not been introduced to each other.

AI has reached the Uncanny Valley of knowledge. So close but yet so wrong. When something is frequently wrong you are on the look out for issues. When it’s near perfect you will accept a wrong answer unless you know it is wrong. If you know it, then why are you using AI.

@AntigoneJournal @nonregemesse AI is close. So close it makes it worse than doing nothing. Like the uncanny valley. The Uncanny Knowledge Valley.

This is a genuinely interesting story. Huge amount of automated work, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of human hours. BUT: with an error rate of 10%, and with the precise reading of *every* word mattering in such an exercise, it is meaningless, and for manuscripts of authority worse than useless, without a human checking every single word. BUT: there simply aren't people, in 2026, with the expertise, the time, and the funding to check these 32,000 manuscripts at this level. Welcome to Digital Humanities Slop.

@richthruster @DavidAstinWalsh But with proper communication units could have been moved quickly. There was a 48 hour delay from Army HQ (phone lines) giving orders to unit commanders (Col-Major-Captain).

@JadedDeveloper @DavidAstinWalsh Radios explain operational failures, but not strategic failures. The French high command made numerous blunders (like failing to defend the Ardennes when their whole plan depended upon it) that can't be explained by any kind of equipment deficiency.

The amazing thing reading about the Battle of France is that at the tactical level the French were more than a match for the Germans. The French 1st and 7th Armies did reasonably well in northern and central Belgium. But their high command was inflexible and incompetent.

@myhandle It’s not oral sex. It’s using oral sex as an alternative to shaking hands that is the problem.

if you eat pussy may as well start drinking and smoking, yolo
