@farzyness @wizzy_wiggy @bentalmi The safety stats are not there yet. That’s why it’s being held back.

As this horrific and unnecessary war enters its fifth year the West and especially the United States needs to understand the truth: Putin does not want to end this war. Putin does not want peace.

Putin will not stop the slaughter until he faces much greater pressure. So for heaven’s sake let’s get on with it.

Impound his entire shadow fleet. Unfreeze all his frozen assets and give them to Ukraine. Give the Ukrainians the weapons they need to take out all the Russian drone factories.

Do all of it now. Putin will not negotiate sincerely until he feels he has no choice.

That moment could come soon. The Russian economy is reeling. Russian casualties are enormous. But on this miserable anniversary of Putin’s invasion the fundamental problem is the same as it has been for the last four years.

The Ukrainians fight like heroes while we in the West pussyfoot and delay. The West can end the war this year - if we stop pussyfooting around.

@elonmusk This sounds like the opposite of Amazing Abundance. I hope you reconsider.

@MKBHD @adcock_brett The car requires a specific form factor. If that form factor is being created anyway, make it a robot. Having a humanoid shaped robot drive a car would be silly though may eventually happen for older vehicles in special cases.

This is a message for single men that are tired of online dating

I made a post 6 months ago about what I should text a woman that I was going on a date with

The date was great. In fact we have spent almost every day since then together

Now she’s my girlfriend

Guys if you’re frustrated with online dating I have some advice

Delete your dating apps and start going out every single day

You need to the gym, go to the grocery store, go work from cafes

You need to try a new group fitness class every other day, go to yoga and pilates, and join meetups for things you’re interested in

Be someone who is out and about

Talk to strangers, make friendly conversation, add value, and don’t be sketchy

Find fun things happening in town that you can invite people to

I guess that’s pretty complicated so try this for now:

Start saying yes to every single invitation that you get

What you want as a single guy- and this is key- is IRL surface area

You want to get out of your home and off your phone so that you improve your odds to meet someone special in real life

That’s what I am calling your IRL surface area

I knew I needed this IRL surface area because I do bad on dating apps

See I’m not 6-feet tall and I don’t have a chiseled jaw

But I do feel comfortable talking to strangers

I met my girlfriend at the pool on a hot summer Tuesday evening

My friend Katelyn invited me to come hang out with her and her friends

I was busy with work and I didn’t want to go but thank God I did

I went to the pool that day because I wanted to say Yes to everything that would help me find a girlfriend

Sitting at home doing work = No

Going to Barton Springs Pool = Yes

She was sitting up on the hill reading a book. I mustered up the courage to go chat but that’s another story

For now just go out. Every day.

Make it a challenge if you want: Go out every day for 10 days straight starting tomorrow

Try new restaurants, coffee shops, all the things I said above

Just start talking to people and doing the things that the person you want to date might do too

You can find a girlfriend if you get more IRL surface area

Here’s a photo of us on the beach yesterday

Good women are out there. You just have to put in the work

The real luxuries in life…

[Farzad 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 @farzyness]

Let me know if you can relate to this:

- USPS delivers piles of garbage to house in form of spam mail
- Person walks to place where garbage is delivered, either front of home or mailbox outside
- Person walks back and sorts through garbage
- Person finds 2 pieces of mail amongst 20+ pieces of garbage
- Person opens 2 pieces of mail and realizes it's also garbage
- Person then puts the entire pile of garbage delivered by USPS into the garbage
- The cycle repeats

USPS is nothing more than a taxpayer-funded garbage distributor in many instances.

How do we fix this?

@waitbutwhy How the fuck did I just now learn that whales and dolphins evolved from land animals?

@Gfilche Not if you check the Instagram comments.

I think that neither Trump nor Harris will destroy America if elected president.

Call me crazy, but I think that Trump is not a fascist and Harris is not a communist.

I think this is a reasonable rational position, but according to the internet it's insane 🤣

Either way, getting attacked by both sides has been mentally exhausting for me. Perhaps that's the design of the current political climate: anyone with moderate open-mindedness needs to be pushed out in favor of a "battle" between dogmatic extremes. This doesn't seem like the right path toward truth.
