@Thinkwert @hradzka why is that?

@hradzka In my experience: the top 80 percent are the same as ever; the bottom fifth are much, much weaker than ever.

I am reliably informed of a change in college student performance in a class that the professor has taught for over ten years: ten years ago, grades followed a roughly normal distribution centered around the 80s today, the average is in the 70s, and the plot is bimodal

@Fellwanderer82 @Osinttechnical Both Eurocopter and Rafale are reusable

@Osinttechnical Sending multi million euro assets to combat drones that cost 10's of thousands and built quickly, isn't the win we think it is.

France has released footage of its Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopters and Rafale fighters hunting down and destroying Iranian drones over the Middle East during the Iran war.

@xaigorgo @RichardHanania something something pedophilia

@RichardHanania Bruh! Imagine if this was happening to a democrat. What would the MAGAs say?

The Kristi Noem story keeps getting more incredible The Daily Mail has obtained audio and messages of Bryon insulting his wife and worshipping a 5 foot tall, buxom dominatrix named Shy Sotomayor, while discussing his desire to transition into a woman. He told the dominatrix he wanted to be called "Crystal." Bryon Noem: "I need to be your trans bimbo slut." Sotomayor was shocked he wanted a name so close to "Kristi." From the Daily Mail article: 'F*** your family,' Sotomayor texted Bryon in November, later calling the whole Noem clan 'gross.' 'Love that,' he responded. 'Besides the fact of who your wife is, no one is prettier than me. No one is as powerful,' she continued. 'F***ing true. Do you want me to be a woman?' he wrote. 'Do you want to be a woman for me,' she asked. 'I think I do,' he replied. In a recording of a phone conversation they had weeks later, Bryon can be heard telling Sotomayor that he loved her. 'So much better than your wife, aren't I?' she asked. 'You're so much better,' he said. The Mail reports that this relationship with the dominatrix started in 2016 and first ended in 2020. Then, Bryon Noem reached back out in October 2025, and was more needy. Sotomayor found out who he was, and then started to shame him over what was happening with ICE in Minnesota. Daily Mail: "she ultimately felt she could no longer remain silent, even while role-playing." Now, she would tell him that his wife was a horrible person, and Bryon would change the subject or say not to believe everything she saw in the news. Two weeks later, on January 31, he was back chatting again, this time defending his marriage. 'I do like my wife and I know you don't,' he wrote. 'To be honest. She's not [very] likable,' Sotomayor responded. 'There's no female compared to me. Especially your wife,' she later added. 'True!!!' he texted. 'And f*** your wife. Don't you think, after everything she's done, she deserves this?' she wrote in another thread that same day. 'Deserves what?' he asked. 'You actually worshipping a woman who deserves it, instead of staying loyal to her,' Sotomayor wrote in reference to the thousands of dollars he was paying her. 'I don't know what to say to that. She's a good person. You are amazing though,' he wrote. I actually have more sympathy for Kristi Noem now. She was married to a complete weirdo, no wonder she went looking for something elsewhere. Regardless, Kristi Noem is in fact a horrible person, and we shouldn't forget that. But we can have more sympathy by understanding how she got like this, even though this doesn't excuse sadistically seeking to harm people of color as a way of coping.

@Entengummitiger @africatodayMG Magnets, air, water, and electricity interact through electromagnetism, primarily by generating or influencing electric current via motion (induction) or ionic conduction (MHD). Magnets create electricity by moving near conductors, while saltwater conducts electric current ...

@RichardHanania Organized crime has been using it for a long time

Looks like someone finally found a practical use for crypto.

@Aella_Girl I think the norms are just fine if you accept it's all real. The issue is just that it's not real

the amount of people at that funeral who used my mom's death to not talk about her, but to use her death as a weapon to convert those who were hurting the most, is a really bad reflection on the norms and ethics of that culture

at my mom's funeral, we only had time for a few people to get up to speak. One of them declined standing at the podium and instead stood directly in front of me (and my sisters, who are not religious). She then, into the mic, beseeched us to come to Christ, how mom would have wanted this, etc. Then the next person who came up also declined the podium, stood in front of us, holding the mic, and talked about how the only thing she loved more than her girls was jesus and she of course only wants one thing for us. Then we were out of time, and the pastor went up, and he closed by looking at us was like "If your mom could come back she'd be trying to tell you that it's all real." fuck christianity man. It's a mind parasite that destroys actual connection and grief between people and replaces it with the taxidermied corpse of an ancient cult leader

@nerkifajerwerki @taehyungkwondo That's fine. We don't like fun after all. You enjoy your life! But keep your shoes off the seats, will you

@Entengummitiger @taehyungkwondo less about that, more about the german mindset of rigid rules, no whimsy, no fun and no enjoyment in life

love the photo but the german in me is screaming "take your shoes off the seat"

@RoddyFor @heavensbvnny @Liv_Boeree Damn brother, talk about insecurity

@heavensbvnny @Liv_Boeree Nonsense. Self control is a key component of masculinity. Attempts to redefine what a real man is are usually initiated by foolish women - in the mistaken belief that it will make them safer - and endorsed by beta men in the hope that it may erode their innate disadvantages.

I need more men to understand that two men crying and hugging in space after one of them announced they were naming a moon crater after the other one’s late wife is actually what peak masculinity looks like

@CFoxtrot52 Yes, recently. I already figured out that I either need to stick to offline dating, or recruit neurotypical help.

@Entengummitiger Have you ever been diagnosed as being "on the spectrum"?

if you are serious about dating, pay someone to take some good photos of you. get a few outfits and spend 2 hours posing and getting some candids. you are wasting your time if you’re swiping on apps with a bad profile. you can buy back your time, and likely meet pretty girls!

@nerkifajerwerki @taehyungkwondo I prefer clean seats to putting my shoes on them

@taehyungkwondo kill the inner german for the sake of us all

@Romy_Holland Is a person with a photo like that supposed to look like that on the date? What about on any given Tuesday? If he gets together with a girl, can he look like on the left on some days? Or on most days? Or is she gonna be like "ewww rags"?

@Romy_Holland , but also some muscle on his arms and shoulders - the right photo, he might have stick arms and no shoulders at all, impossible to tell

@Romy_Holland The guy doesn't wear rags in that left photo... Of course looks matter, a lot, but clothing barely factors in... I've never given it much thought, but I think anything under "too stylish" but over "literally homeless" is fine to me?

@Entengummitiger when you’re assessing people to date does the way they look come into play? even if you like low-maintenance girls, you probably prefer ones who look pretty and you’d likely prefer one in somewhat fitted or stylish clothes over one wearing rags.

@goblinodds @Romy_Holland Yeah, my birthday is coming up, I could ask the guests to take photos of me

@Entengummitiger @Romy_Holland hang out w friends and take candid photos of each other when ur having a good time, looks less corporate this way

@Romy_Holland I'm not a clothes guy and I have 0 interest in looking good in photos. I think the photo on the left seems authentic and nice, and everybody is like "omg look at the atrocity". I guess I'll have to stick to real life to find a mate

@Entengummitiger you could take photos that feel more like you! you don’t have to wear a blazer. wear clothes that flatter you and show your personality/style. i’ve never thought tinder was a good app, i think hinge is the more serious app for dating.

@Aella_Girl How would you have turned out if you never lost your faith? Like, not just stuck in there, but stuck in there as a true believer, but with all these needs and urges that don't fit the structure

i am SO glad i busted out of the evangelical world before i got married and impregnated. dude can you imagine me tryin to survive inside that

@Thinkwert that's a choo choo alright

You don’t always like what you get when you get what you asked for
