If we introduced everyone in this industry to the sharp side of a guillotine, the country would be an indisputably better place for having done so.
I see your reviewers are sociologists π¬
At least a few hundred million, and even then I'm not sure I could do it
"Make of that what you will"
Well, the immediate thought that comes to mind is "fucking dumbass" π€·ββοΈ
Wow. This one is a strong contender for the most logically fallacious article ever written π¬
My wife picked up the finished piece today and god it looks sooooooo good. Taking it to my framing guy up in Denton tomorrow.

PLACING A BET SHOULD INVOLVE A DUDE THAT WILL WORK YOU OVER IN AN ALLEY IF YOU FUCK AROUND TOO MUCH AND IM NOT KIDDING.
If anything, simply building a bomb or makihg progress in that direction paints a very large target on your back and the only way to remove that target is to push through to being able to credibly deliver the payload to a target in the event another country attacks you first.
In a world where the U.S. has gone rogue, there's nothing that really keeps a country "safe" short of credible second-strike nuclear capability. Think China's policy of minimum nuclear deterrence as the lowest standard. In other words, its quite a bit more complicated than just building the bomb.
Dr. M.G Madjd, having earned a PhD in agricultural economics from Cornell University, wrote the very first serious English-language study of the famine. In the Journal of Iranian Islamic Period History, Majd concluded that 3-4 million Iraniansβa quarter of the populationβdied of starvation and disease during the Allied occupation in World War II, citing U.S. State Department population figures for 1941 (15 million) and 1944 (10-12 million).
I don't think people really comprehend the scale of death from like 1914 to 1945
Like, this thread was perfectly reasonable and yet the replies and quotes are filled with utterly deranged imbeciles who clearly cannot read.

Increasingly convinced the median bluesky poaster is functionally illiterate and has like kindergarten level reading comprehension (that may be insulting to kindergartener's though, TBH)
Their impact on society is purely negative and deeply corrosive.
Itβs insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. Iβm introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
As a sidenote, I also firmly believe such a ban should be written in a way that it also ropes in sports-betting focused companies like draftkings and underdog that are no better.
The entire business model of Polymarket, Kalshi, etc. should be illegal.
This company needs to be put out of business.
Itβs an indictment of society that itβs allowed to exist at all, but itβs all the more damning that it possesses the prominence it does.
Premium unleaded has gone up by 20% at Costco in the last two weeks and Trump is pretty much directly responsible π€¬
My post-apocalyptic survival plan has always been "die as quickly as possible" π€·ββοΈ
I'm just assuming "We're not interested, please leave" hits different if the person saying it is holding a large firearm π€·ββοΈ. Might need an experiment to determine actual efficacy
And there is precedent for bad things happening to bad people (i.e., Lee Atwater dieing of brain cancer at 40), so there's at least some shred of hope Ellison could piss away his fortune
Also apparently pretty terrible at running a media company, FWIW
Unfortunately, bad things (mostly) only happen to good people so chances seem slim π
I keep getting plagued by door to door sales people who insist they aren't "soliciting" (in violation of my no soliciting sign), and I'm at that point where I'm considering going out and buying a gun just so I can open the door while holding it π€·ββοΈ
When I was in SF this time last year for my wedding anniversary, the billboard ads were by far the weirdest thing. Like, they would feel extremely out of place literally anywhere else in the country, and they still felt pretty out of place in SF.
I bought a Switch 2 to play PokΓ©mon Z-A when it came out last October and it was pretty darn good (still need to play the DLC that just dropped), but it's been sooooo long since we've had a new mainline PokΓ©mon game
Fuck yeah, let's go! Q4 2026/2027 going to be a great year.
Wait, did Gen 10 just get announced?
EU regulators just need to tie this up for a few years untol there's a less corrupt U.S. DOJ that can kill it on this side of the pond too.
