Out of curiousity, how many times do I have to show you that zerohedge is full of shit before you stop getting influenced by the charts he creates to purposefully make the data sound bad/manipulated. His chart has no reason to start at 3% other than he wants to make movements in the data look...

Yeah, there's no point in buying Bluesky really. Setting up a bluesky clone is something that say, Cuban, could do with his lunch money and the user base would migrate away from someone like Elon buying the place again, it's just social media whack a mole at that point. Spending a couple of...

I would never. I still remember hearing the words of the great street poets of the 90's

Fair, but the utility of breaking faith among NATO countries is worth a lot more than the norwegian rocks and doing it in a low risk way would be very 2014 Crimea of him. I agree with the 1st but less with the 2nd regarding NATO being destroyed. Even if the US left, it's still a formidable...

I wanted to touch on that again as to how terrible an idea it would be. So, Afghanistan is a complete and utter whore of a country to take and hold as we've seen twice now in recent-ish history. It's all mountain and desert. I think people underestimate just how big Mexico is and how...

I could see SpecOps or drone sent in to assassinate cartel leaders for the headlines (Mexican cartels are by nature way more decentralized than most people think, eliminating the head of a cartel doesn't really do much...to this day people aren't sure if CJNG leader El Mencho is alive or dead...

The exact structure, the VC money involved, etc...no. The only thing I've seen referenced is Jay Graber and "the bluesky team" own it.

Awwww, won't someone think of the CCP? https://www.semafor.com/article/11/25/2024/bluesky-boom-worries-chinese-media

Habsy should put this guy on salary. Then fire him for being shit at his job.

Good informed opinions. If it's a subject you don't care about, and don't understand, you look like a cranky old jerk off opining about it. Maybe instead have a steaming hot cup of shut the fuck up and keep it moving? Like, I'm pretty fucking opinionated. But there are literally millions of...

Then maybe try not having an opinion about it?

Maybe sorta kinda..... It's more like writing poems about each other while preparing to fist fight or duel each other. We can't clown about it seeming soft at a glance and then wring our hands when motherfuckers shoot each other over them.

It's a shame the world didn't take 2014 more seriously and started arming Ukraine back then.

https://bsky.app/profile/nytimes.com/post/3lbvjxltmlc2b The anti lockdown "treatise" was of course the Barrington Declaration. Which of course said that lockdowns were bad and the answer was to lock all of the at risk people (like the elderly) away until the coast was clear while the rest of...

Has there been a bigger talent collapse in the history of the game than the collapse of the Quebecois Goaltending Industrial Complex? MAF is 900 yrs old and probably still the best francophone goalie. I never thought I'd see the day.

Our goaltending really did get shit, didn't it. SV% leaderboard (min 10 gms) Hellebuyck - USA Stolarz - USA Vejmelka - Czech Gustavsson - Swede Dostal - Czech Daccord - USA Wolf - USA Talbot - Canada (lol, fuck you Zeke) Sorokin - Russia Thompson - Canada Saros - Finland Vasy - Russia Shesty -...

Also another point re: Mexico & Sheinbaum. She's 100% right. If Mexico has responsibility for migrants and fentanyl heading north, then the US has responsibility for illegal guns heading south. What are Mexico's cartels without American hardware?

Yeah, everyone kind of knows this in the border region. There's an entire podcast industry telling stories about shit at the border and how the drug trade works.

That seems the obvious move but I don't think that's the one tbh. I think Poland immediately declares war if Russia invades Lithuania and by like 2026-27 I wouldn't bet against Poland handing them their ass. Poland should have 500 MLRS/HIMARS launchers by then (Ukraine capped out at 64 in...

Sheinbaum is a beast. Legit scientist with PHD. Serious climate science/green energy chops. Data driven, progressive AF but tough. I don't think we've had a head of state as legitimately capable a human being maybe ever. Can't think of many US President's more impressive either. Has some...
