@SOTS_x @UziCryptoo The rust is not a requirement, but it *is* a mark of dedication.

@UziCryptoo dave ramsey wants you working 5 jobs while living in a rusted out van down by the river.

Just heard the best/worst caller on the Dave Ramsey podcast. Married couple, under 30. $145,000 household income. Came on the show to celebrate paying off the mortgage on their $450,000 Georgia home. Said they starting paying it off early 5 years ago, meaning they had a low interest rate home loan (probably <3%) and started to aggressively pay it down right as interest rates were starting to rise. Dave Ramsey loved it, launching into a lecture about how 26-year olds who say they can’t buy homes should look at this couple for inspiration. Hahaha.

@thesincerevp See if you can find anyone to explain futures and prediction markets for you.

@another_reader2 The 2% cashback brings your loss from $979 to $810. Congratulations, you've optimized failure.

Dropshipping P&L nobody shows you: Revenue $8,000. Product cost $5,200. Facebook ads $3,100. Shopify $39. Returns $640. Net: -$979. You paid $979 for the privilege of working 50 hours. My intern's unpaid and even he has better unit economics.

@deloopnow @pmarca ^ Who's going to tell him about the actual tests?

I think we all know why...

@wil_da_beast630 That's a suitcase.

Actual fact - at the time, he and the rest of the American team (lot of Jews, Blacks, Irishmen, etc) were criticized a bit for "tacky dress." LOOK at that lapel width! Shiny ass briefcase! #shame

@NatCon2022 Your theory is that Feds don't box?

The group Patriot Front says it put on a combat sports tournament at Dixie Republic in upstate South Carolina. This is the group that Twitter “influencers” love to claim is a hoax run by the “feds.”

@BecomingCritter @shitpost9000 Used Galaxy phones are like $100 and then you'll end up with a full computer on your TV. youtube.com/watch?v=xFFPgB…

@shitpost9000 my pc is in a different room from my tv. what type of setup are you suggesting g here ?

i might have to replace a perfectly fine TV because the idiot apps are crashing on it. First time experiencing television obsolescence

@GoUncensored So now we have opinions from *two* people, but still no numbers. Sorry: The world runs on numbers. Time to grow up and find solutions instead of throwing EmoFests.

@another_reader2 No, she's telling the truth.

When people like this married homeowner in her late 30's or early 40's with multiple kids and a husband with a full-time job have to choose between groceries and the mortgage it's a huge deal.

@landlawyerbrian If you decide to demo: I hear interior designers in NYC pay top dollar for rusty old tin.

Just talked to our contractor A few hundred bucks and some elbow grease and this future eco-lodge AirBnB will print 💰

@squirrelthere @NaturalRightFan @captive_dreamer They're not very large. Where, exactly, did you have in mind?

@NaturalRightFan @captive_dreamer yeah, but where do frog legs fit in?

"Pho" comes from the French word for "fire" btw, it's a French dish

The department chair pulls up the Spring 2026 placement dashboard during faculty meeting 94 CS graduates this semester. 7 have offers. That's 7.4 percent. In Spring 2023 it was 89 percent. Professor who's been here 23 years starts laughing. Not happy laughing. Broken laughing. "I'm telling parents their $280k investment in CS education just bought their kid a job at Target" Three faculty members quietly started updating their own LinkedIn profiles during the meeting The career center director shows up with printed charts about "emerging opportunities in AI prompt engineering" Meanwhile the industry hiring data shows 340,000 software engineers got eliminated in Q1 alone Department gets emails from alumni asking if they can crash in the computer lab because they lost their apartments Kids who graduated summa cum laude are competing with H1-B contractors bidding $35/hour for "senior" roles Professor admits what everyone knows: we're training them for jobs that don't exist anymore The same companies recruiting on campus in 2024 just replaced their entire junior dev programs with Cursor and Claude But hey, the endowment board wants to expand the CS program to 500 students per year Because nothing says "fiduciary responsibility" like charging kids $70k annually to learn skills that executives are systematically automating away The faculty senate meeting ended with 12 professors updating their resumes Even the computer science teachers know the computers won

@ZubyMusic Those busy being outraged by planned dysfunction have no time to escort the hidden planners to lamp posts.

Every Western country and city needs to adopt tough on crime policies. Zero tolerance for theft and violent crime. This is so obvious, yet there is so much resistance.

@newstart_2024 1969 cake was literally different.

Bill Maher and Joe Rogan went hard on Ozempic and the idea that obesity is now officially a “disease” we can’t control. Maher’s take was sharp: just a few years ago, the consensus was that diet and exercise could handle it. Now the narrative has flipped completely — it’s a disease, you’re helpless, and the only answer is lifelong injections. The New York Times and mainstream outlets are all in, with almost zero dissent. Rogan pointed out the ugly reality: people on these drugs often lose a ton of muscle and connective tissue, not just fat. One study from Peter Attia’s patients showed that even after dropping 20 pounds, their body fat percentage actually went up because they were mostly losing lean mass. Both of them pushed back on the “no free lunch” idea. These drugs come with real side effects (serious GI issues for some), and the food industry has spent decades engineering ultra-addictive products loaded with sugar, fat, and salt. Maher’s best line: Cake was delicious in 1969 too — yet somehow people used to resist it. It’s a refreshing conversation about personal responsibility versus handing everything over to pharmaceuticals and calling it inevitable. Anyone else uneasy about how quickly “just eat less and move more” got replaced by “it’s a disease, take the shot”?

@NASA @NASAArtemis What does the cheese smell like?

@castlehunteruk Slighted. I win.

Difficulty level high this week, can you name the castle site from this pic??

@KPali16680 @LozzaFox @grok What evidence do *you* offer in support of your position? So far: none.

@another_reader2 @LozzaFox @grok Check with Claude or Deepseek, then I will educate you.

Hey @grok, is it true that Somalis generally have a lower IQ than the global average?

@KPali16680 @LozzaFox @grok What evidence do you offer in support of your position?

@LozzaFox @grok The way IQ is measured is for weak white privileged who tend to only know one language. If the test was correctly tested weak white privileged would be the lowest, weakest, most diseased, filthiest and actually extinct without privilege. Cry more.

The most exquisite tweet I've come across in weeks, and naturally it's from 2021 and was written by a PhD.
