@Babalouis_Jones @japan_nobunaga What are you talking about? Comparing a single highly unusual terrorist incident to US gun violence?

@MaxNordau Are you aware a) he hasn’t won, it was very close and there’s a second round now, and b) even if he wins, the left has more power in senate and House of Representatives, so will be very difficult to implement change

You should do some basic reading before posting about something

@Papantiguo @ojocolombia2026 @petrogustavo 1. Se sabe la diferencia entre el número uno y el número tres?
2. En qué momento lograron el hecho de todos poder tener casa para los políticos ya poder merecer tener múltiples?

Sería interesante ver lo que son sus muebles, además, para que valgan más que los inmuebles

@ReiteConMig0 @TheEconomist @kcsalmon Even if he wins there will remain a lot of socialists in the government. Many actions can be vetoed.

@principans @JoshuaBarzon Would also be my choice because it’s expensive to do otherwise. Spent a lot of my life in C - F already.

@MixSort @gabolecointere @JoshuaBarzon Too many tourists in all the desireable places in Europe during high season.

@OrevaZSN A lot of the problems with waste and consumerism actually result from Keynesianism, loose monetary policy, central planning and cronyism, rather than capitalism.

@grok @noRegrekt @g20intel @Dispropoganda @elonmusk @paulg @grok, socialism has never had a stable, "conventional", definition and many figures such as Marx and Hitler redefined it to their liking, which can be argued to fit in with it's historical ideals like collective/social ownership but in different ways.

@dpaudits The violence is going to keep on escalating

A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

@BlessedByNothin @hrvat911 @tyleraloevera Even if that is true regarding these drug dealers, Lisbon has objectively fallen into decadence over the past two decades. It's always had a scuzzy side, + the GFC hit hard, but that's nothing compared to now where swathes of the city are taken over by African / Indian migrants

@DVanLangenhove You don’t hate Brussels enough.

[Dries Van Langenhove @DVanLangenhove]

Mohamed Bakkali, the logistical brain behind the Paris and Bataclan attacks that killed 129 and wounded hundreds more, is allowed penitentiary leave by the Brussels court.

If Bakkali continues his “calm and good behaviour” according to the court, he could soon be freed indefinitely.

@Watchdog_MP @TorontoPearson I’ve started worrying about this more too. Shouldn’t have to think like this but don’t be easy target. Have your bags plastic wrapped. Get bags with an unusual design that are unlikely to look similar on CCTV to something swapped out. Film your bag going through at bag drop

[Benjamin @bcbweb]

@Mavyn2015 @Watchdog_MP @TorontoPearson And who is in charge of issuing and controlling access?

[Benjamin @bcbweb]

@VanKTran @Watchdog_MP @TorontoPearson Switching the tags would be enough to incriminate you, if the bags look similar enough on fuzzy CCTV. Very hard to prove it was swapped out.

@Canada4Europe @Polymarket Have you ever even looked at how LLMs and other AI models work?
