I do not like this one so well. All he does is yell, yell, yell. I will not have this one about. When he comes in I put him out.

I hate what The Discourse has done to our country. We used to debate important ideas and ideals, now we coat the internet in graffiti about trivialities and Move On before the paint dries.

It's genuinely amazing that our one party state has an un-auditable post election process that takes weeks where they tell us vote numbers that are oddly convenient for them and we just accept it

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

America routinely taking days/weeks to count ballots now is f’n hilarious. They might as well announce results in Hamburglar costumes

@DePimblor @CactusFuturist …after a decade it was just ALMOST every game that used Halo design principals. Halo talks are still some of the most watched GDC content. You are just ignorant of how the industry works.

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

Does a fish know it’s wet?

Recharging health, limited weapon inventory, one-button grenade/melee, automatic checkpoints, magnetism-based aim assist, combined arms enemy squads, Dolby audio and realtime cinematics became the STANDARD for at least a decade after Halo came out. FPS went from “can’t be done on a console” to the dominant genre. You are probably too young to remember when MP games had “server browsers” and LIVE launched without a Friend List.

@ArthurB @ArtemisConsort Yeah. Nobody has ever fought a war to take possession of material goods from someone else without compensation on a very large scale. You are very smart.

Ça fait un moment que je me pose des questions sur le bilan (provisoire) de Milei en Argentine. On lit tout et son contraire. Alors j'ai arrêté de lire les commentaires et j'ai regardé les chiffres bruts.

L'Argentine, c'est l'expérience grandeur nature que les économistes attendaient depuis 50 ans. Même pays. Même peuple. Même culture. On change UNE variable : la méthode économique.

Avant : des décennies de gestion étatiste et péroniste, "redistributive". Le résultat concret ? 211% d'inflation, 42% de pauvreté, un État en déficit permanent qui finance son train de vie en faisant tourner la planche à billets.

Puis arrive Milei. Méthode inverse, brutale, assumée : on coupe, on déréglemente, on arrête d'imprimer.

Deux ans plus tard (photo à son arrivée (fin 2023) vs aujourd'hui) :

Inflation annuelle : 211% → 31%
Inflation mensuelle : 25% → ~2%
Déficit public : −5% du PIB → +1,8% (excédent)
Croissance : −1,6% → +4,4%
Pauvreté : 42% → 28%

Sans débat. Jugez par vous-mêmes.

Et le point essentiel : ces gains ne vont pas "aux riches" ou "aux marchés". Ils vont d'abord aux plus pauvres.

L'inflation est l'impôt le plus injuste qui existe — elle frappe ceux qui n'ont aucun actif pour se protéger. La diviser par 7, c'est rendre du pouvoir d'achat à ceux d'en bas. Et 14 points de pauvreté en moins, ce sont des millions de gens, pas une ligne Excel.

Pendant un siècle, on a expliqué aux Argentins que l'État les protégerait en dépensant toujours plus. Résultat : un des pays les plus riches du monde en 1910, ruiné. On vient d'inverser la méthode. Regardez le résultat.

À un moment, il faut accepter ce que les faits racontent : sur le terrain économique, la méthode libérale a livré en deux ans ce que des décennies de socialisme avaient promis sans jamais tenir. Et ça profite d'abord aux plus modestes.

On peut détester le style de Milei — la tronçonneuse, l'outrance, les sorties improbables, il n'a rien d'un homme d'État classique. Mais on ne juge pas une politique économique au style de celui qui la mène. On la juge à ce qu'elle fait à la vie des gens.

Et les chiffres ont parlé.

@NextUpHalperin @MarkHalperin You spent the whole time discussing whether he has a 100% chance of winning, or only a 70% chance. Your producers have MK disease.

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

@ingelramdecoucy Been awhile since we pounced. Almost feels retro.

[Jackie Chea ⚖️ @Fair_and_Biased]

Marco Rubio realizing he has to become a popstar to perform at the nation’s 250th.

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

@NEMonarchist Then why did they cast Dr. Badgi McDarklord?

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

@ResEvilDude @NateSilver538 Texas has not elected a Democrat to a statewide office since 1994. Every cycle we get this same story. I don't think it will be particularly close this time. Tallarico is a disaster.

Nick should still get back to his roots. This is hacky garbage.

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

@RafaelValor20 @ThelVanDamne That's some exalted company. I just get bored easily...

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

@ThelVanDamne Sorry, I'll make the connection for you.

Why would I play a game that was the same game as a game I didn't like?

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

@ThelVanDamne I didn't like Banjo Kazooie.

But the whole point of a "spiritual successor" is that it is the same game. Same audience, same controls, same themes, same design problems with the same solutions. I'd rather do something different.

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

@ThelVanDamne Yes.

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

@Katsuragimaxxed Yeah, it is a bad argument even if it wasn't bad theology.

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

Maybe more like 70%.

It -should- be 100%. Using Mary's story to argue in favor of abortion is maybe the most offensive moral inversion I have ever encountered...

[TheBlaze @theblaze]

Texas Democrat US Senate candidate James Talarico claims the Bible is pro-choice: “The Angel comes down and asks Mary if this is something she wants to do. To me, that is an affirmation in one of our central stories.”

[Jaime Griesemer @32nds]

@Katsuragimaxxed I think in this case, the important distinction is that consent is different than obedience.
