Finally got my blue checkmark after getting bullied by @dvassallo , when do I get my complementary one-word reply from @elonmusk ?

@ripplebrain *hits a Toyota Corolla*

When they say "missile" here it's meant literally as in deploying one missile because that's all they've got

@iker_rasa @MyLatinLife Lots of Spaniards in high level white collar work in Mexico in my experience

@MyLatinLife Latin America is going to be filled with Spaniards

Europeans are leaving Europe for higher salaries in... Latin America. Salaries in Brazil are often higher than Portugal. 🇧🇷🇵🇹 Salaries in Mexico or Chile are higher than Spain. 🇪🇸🇲🇽 Maybe not on average but the ceiling is higher

@JerryBarnett @pmddomingos Go fuck yourself

I remember when Wired was a magazine about technology.

@yacineMTB Marxists always talk out of both sides of their crooked mouths, to sow confusion.

@GreenPlusAnE Back in the day they were saying the exact same things.

I don’t get the hate - Mark Rippetoe never said Starting Strength was a bodybuilding program. Back in the good old days (2012), men lifted to get strong. Today’s obsession with online aesthetics would have seemed totally foreign.

@ApplePieIsBest @bruce_lambert @rpondiscio Doesn't Amazon pay pretty well for unskilled work? Wasn't that guy who burned the warehouse making like 27/hr

@bruce_lambert @rpondiscio The part where they (and Walmart) destroy existing businesses and then pay their employees so little that they receive welfare (food stamps)

Yesterday I ordered an obscure book and a 20 pound bag of dog food on Amazon. Today it was delivered to my house in rural upstate New York. Remind me again why Jeff Bezos doesn’t deserve to be a billionaire?

@PedroCo67443965 @TheCityMentor Why should architecture be beholden to arbitrary rules like these?

@TheCityMentor You can't using an example of, maybe, bad architecture, or "ugly" facades, to validate pastiche architecture. The answer must be new styles, not going back.

One of Berlin's better decisions

@DeSalviati "colonizada por pijos", maldita Selectividad colonialista!

institución boutique? chica, es una universidad puesta en barrio obrero y que está colonizada por pijos que quieren decir que han estudiado en la pública pero sin mezclarse con nadie de madrid sur.

@benhayesnyc @simonsarris I'm always astounded at how much people bitch about having to pay for parking.

@simonsarris $7. That’s it?

I get why this "feels" insane, but if the entire planet wants to run roughshod over your island of 100k people, you should make sure that your people benefit from it in a *big* way. Many over-touristed places capture too little money, get too little localized benefit

@Smirkley @BowTiedGlobe For the Latino countries there's a selection bias at play. Mexicans in Europe are almost entirely students or skilled workers. Very different demographic compared to Mexicans in the US

With sample sizes over 14k Hispanic countries Colombia 2.29× Spain 1.72× Brazil 1.43× Mexico 0.82× African countries Algeria 18.40× Gambia 7.93× Guinea 7.54× Libya 7.45× Tunisia 6.52× Morocco 5.08× Somalia 4.33× Nigeria 4.17× Cameroon 3.74× Ghana 3.04× Egypt 2.98× Eritrea 2.57× Ethiopia 2.00× MENA (overlap with above) Algeria 18.40× Libya 7.45× Tunisia 6.52× Morocco 5.08× Lebanon 5.03× Iraq 3.73× Syria 3.65× Jordan 3.05× Egypt 2.98×

Germany just released 2025 crime data. Overall, Algerian nationals commit crime at 18x the rate of Germans and nearly 100x the rate of Japanese nationals. 1/11

@bonzerbarry How much damage can FPV drones do to armored vehicles like this?

Hezbollah just published an FPV video of them striking an Eitan APC in Ramyeh yesterday.

@WilmoreStandard @bryan_caplan Probably native speaking.

@bryan_caplan What do you mean when you say “unaccented”?

Spaniards can never fully appreciate how weird it is for Americans to hear white people speaking unaccented Spanish.

@umilpesari Ojo yo no estoy de acuerdo con ese documento, pero esa es en esencia razón.

@umilpesari La Carta de Venecia explícitamente dice que toda adicion a un edificio histórico debe distinguirse de la obra original.

Me podéis explicar por qué en la pintura, cuando se trata de restauración, se procura que las intervenciones sean lo más imperceptibles posible y en la arquitectura si no plantas un bodrio sin venir a cuento en mitad del edificio en restauración es poco menos que sacrilegio?

@S0m38rah Yo no digo que debamos hacerle caso. Me parece ridícula personalmente

Ajá y por qué deberíamos de hacerle caso a la carta de Vencía. Siempre la citan como si ella solita bastara para justificar las actitudes imbeciles de congelar el pasado.

@anelo09 @omegamig2345 @forocoches Hacer un master justo después de graduarse es completamente inútil. Y si lo haces unos años después de trabajar a nadie le importa tu nota.

@omegamig2345 @forocoches Todo risas hasta que no te da la nota para el máster

Carlos Blanco se abre sobre las dificultades que tiene a la hora de encontrar pareja Superdotado con un currículum envidiable, cuenta con el respeto de sus pares, buen trabajo, buena persona, aseado, bien educado, no tiene sobrepeso... Alguien que desde fuera pensarías que lo tendría muy fácil para encontrar pareja en los ámbitos en los que se mueve (evidentemente no en Tinder). forocoches.com/foro/showthrea…

@HowlingBogan @peaceful_bully How many of those were racial slurs though?

@YvrFernando @peaceful_bully 3,768

Have you tried lowering your standards even further and letting society and everyone around you grind your ego down to dust until there's nothing left? You should start a gratitude journal the real problem is you're very entitled and not grateful enough

@usuariotwltter @umilpesari Pero estamos hablando de la cuestión cosmética. En la arquitectura está mal visto que una adicion no se note, independientemente de su funcionalidad

@umilpesari Porque los edificios son entes vivos, muchos se restauran evolucionando para que sigan en uso. Cosa que por otra parte los mantiene.

@IHaveBadGas69 @ArmchairW And the washing machines explode

@ArmchairW What do you want them to eat? High fiber foods? These are American aircraft carriers - the toilets don’t work!

Let me tell you a little story. I never followed Syria very closely but I followed the Iraq War very closely at the time, to include the Twilight Zone interbellum from 2011-2014 when Iraq seemed like it had stabilized but the security establishment dying of corruption.⬇️ I recall the first article I read that sounded the alarm on the kind of systematic, destructive corruption - kleptocratic looting of state resources, really, it's hard to call it corruption in the sense that term is normally conceived of in the West - that spread like wildfire in Iraq after we left in 2011 and which came close to collapsing the Iraqi Armed Forces when Daesh rolled across the border from Syria in 2014. This was in 2011 or 2012 and was a little piece titled something like "US forces gone, an Iraqi Army base mired in corruption." The piece detailed how the food contracts for the Iraqi Army soldiers on this facility that the since-departed US Army had laid on were still active and the usual shipments of healthy groceries were being delivered - and then immediately diverted, often on the same trucks, to be sold by corrupt officers. The jundis were subsisting on bread and thin soup - and morale and, downstream of morale, actual combat capability reflected it. Here's the thing. The Trump Administration is openly corrupt and fish rot from the head down. It should be a trivial logistical exercise to get rations to a floating airbase, but for some reason we keep seeing pictures of sailors on aircraft carriers subsisting on grim, minimal fare. And I suspect the reason we're seeing this stuff from aircraft carriers specifically is because they have better internet connectivity for the crew than lighter combatants. Logically a carrier would be the easiest ship to provision given it's a floating airbase, so the rest of the fleet probably has it worse. Yet somehow rations don't seem to be being delivered, and the Navy's response has been PR photo shoots instead of investigations and explanations. Are rations being diverted? Or is there some kind of supply chain issue thus far unknown to the public that is preventing the Navy from properly resupplying its fleet in the Arabian Sea? What does this portend for more difficult things to replenish, such as munitions?

@HowlingBogan @peaceful_bully How many compliments have you given in 7 years?

@peaceful_bully 128 days? I haven't been complimented in like 7 years.
