@deserteagle291 This was pretty much the perfect war scenario for what I call "infinite Bayraktar spam". Without a capable fixed wing AF, Iranian air defenses were relatively trivial to suppress, but we lacked the volume of high endurance precision capabilities to effectively deal with BMs.

@JonahDispatch I mean that one is staged, but it's real.

Even more baffling: red solo cups are also apparently an object of some fascination by Europeans, possibly because of their association with college drinking?

@hey_itsmyturn Last time I'm not sure we had high expectations for missile fire and yet Iran dumped a dozen on Israel, so I think people are probably underrating the odds again. Iran is really freaked out by the possibility of losing Hezbollah.

@xianzhe9527 Lol, my father and grandfather both made the same mistake, but with fruit trees as Westerners are wont to. After meeting some fruit farmers it became obvious why they had failed.

At the end of the day, herbs are nice to grow and not very difficult, otherwise it's just a hobby

@hey_itsmyturn Actual issue will come when Iran doesn't actually reopen the strait and the IRGC tells them they'll only reopen for Imam Khomenei again. Tbf, if it ends in humiliating Vance again, I support it.

@YoshkaMJ In my area Google > Oracle >> Microsoft >>>> Amazon lol

@Romy_Holland @kamikaz1_k All male self improvement, inexplicably, derives from Reddit, despite the (to a large part true) stereotype. Reddit can teach you how to go to law school, wear the right kind of shoes, pick the right kind of restaurants, have a skincare routine, and color match your sheets.

@ZhenDeRen It's not like Erewhon is selling *bad* food, it's probably at the high end of what you can get. But the point of Erewhon is clearly to be seen shopping at Erewhon and seen with Erewhon merch.

@NegroLibre1 It would have been better for everyone (probably Hunter too!) if Biden had just let him stay in Club Fed for a month and then commuted his sentence.

@antirez From outside reporting it seems that a lot of their best staff got poached by OAI/Anthropic/Google, who have way more money and GPU time, and Mistral itself clearly doesn't have anything like the formers' compute resources.

@Noahpinion Canadian grocers do engage in price fixing, but as with most Canadian businesses the fundamental problem is that they block efficient American competitors from the market.

@nobodyknows2322 Americans are unable to even negotiate with these people because Americans assume anyone they negotiate with is an American that's gotten slightly lost.

By contrast military force works extremely well against these people because they tend to quickly get cold feet.

@CartoonsHateHer Honestly the biggest thing missing is recognizing how many men fall off the wagon by their forties. Obviously a 50 year old VP (not the fake GS kind) of average fitness is slaying, but most men aren't that. Also finding classically marriageable women gets harder after late 20s

@FaytuksNetwork So it's the same one as they were pushing before and there's no actual agreement as usual lol. Idk why we pay attention to them repeating this over and over again.

@wolmanj Working on a project to convince Turks that because Jews are actually Khazars, they're based horse nomads who deserve to rule the Arab Crescent. I mean, they spend all their time fighting and beating Arabs and Persians, which sounds suspiciously Turkic.

@BarakRavid And has the cardboard cutout approved whatever framework for a plan Araghchi wrote out?

@HabCorpLinguist Allow me to introduce you to Pontifical Catholic...

@VerminusM In all honesty it's about the only successful negotiation policy we've employed. It actually did work in Vietnam, despite the Vietnamese being psychotic. Americans are kinda crummy at negotiations and it never occurs to them that they could just shoot the other guy.

[Unironic National Directory Loyalist @confusedorlean]

@hey_itsmyturn Wacky. All this activity feels more like a prelude to a forced opening of the Strait though imo.

@NoraX2026 Gays are just easier to date generally, the difficulty for them is getting married, but it's very doable.

I think a large part of the trouble Asian men have is simply because they're shorter. But it's definitely hard. You're best off finding a girl from home or from SEA I think
