@PCSoonersFan Or they have empathy and want to help others

@FAUXMONIKER @mymixtapez So close. How many weeks do practice squad plays get paid? Critical thinking is possible for everybody

Watching the minimum wage state question fail makes me really question whether Oklahoma will ever get better. Leaders and citizens all seem to legitimately want the worst for the state.

The available versions of Ocarina of Time are great enough that a remake feels like a waste. We should be getting new 3D Zelda games that follow the classic formula, not remakes and not games that in the BotW style.

[GameOverJesse | The Hylian Gamescast @GameOverJesse]

What are your unpopular Zelda opinions?

[Jared Plaudis @JaredPlaudis]

Hot take: unless literally every candidate is on the ballot for a primary, I don’t think it’s too wild for political parties to do closed primaries.

@CaptainLore_ If they made this animated, it would have been cheaper and better

Of course that “success” is just fleecing people and the government.

[Heatherheather007 @LibertyValkyrie]

Ps: NONE of @elonmusk success would have been possible in a Communist or Socialist society

The left is acting like he stole a trillion dollars from some pot of money they had.

He doesn’t just create products, he creates markets.

Elon Musk’s companies have pioneered or massively accelerated multiple markets through private innovation, risk-taking, and capital investment:

• Mass-market electric vehicles and clean energy storage via the network of SuperCharge stations nationwide: Tesla transformed EVs from niche curiosities into high-performance, desirable mainstream vehicles with advanced batteries, software updates, and a global charging network—driving industry-wide adoption and scaling renewable energy tech. A Prius was the best we had, and now an American-Made vehicle is one of the best in the world.

• Reusable orbital rockets and commercial spaceflight: SpaceX developed the first privately funded reusable rockets (Falcon series), slashing launch costs by orders of magnitude, enabling routine cargo/crew missions to the International Space Station, and opening frequent, affordable access to space.

• Large-scale satellite internet constellations: Starlink built a global low-Earth orbit network delivering high-speed broadband to remote and underserved areas, creating a viable new market for satellite connectivity beyond traditional telecom.

• Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs): Neuralink advanced implantable, high-bandwidth neural tech for medical applications (e.g., restoring function for paralysis) and long-term human-AI symbiosis, pushing neurotechnology from research to human trials.

• Ultra-efficient urban tunneling and underground transport systems: The Boring Company innovated faster, lower-cost tunneling methods to create practical underground vehicle loops, addressing traffic congestion in new ways.

• Advanced AI for scientific discovery: xAI focuses on building AI systems to understand the universe, contributing to the competitive frontier of large-scale AI models and infrastructure.

• Digital payments infrastructure (PayPal): Helped pioneer secure, consumer-friendly online payments, laying groundwork for modern fintech.
These breakthroughs relied on private capital, competitive markets, and the freedom to pursue ambitious, long-term visions with high risk of failure—hallmarks of capitalist incentives that reward solving hard problems at scale.

So to those saying he hasn’t “earned” it — or doesn’t “deserve it” — try dabbling in one of the above industries, and perhaps your opinion might matter.

Wait til he finds out that this is being done in every state, not just a California. It’s just more wealth extraction by corporations.

McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely.

The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience.

Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.

@redleg_ranger13 @JaredRyanSears @HouseGOP “Remember this event that happened 35 years ago? Because I kind of do but not super well. Checkmate, liberals”

[Jared Plaudis @JaredPlaudis]

@RlPOzzy People saw this and are really like “I’m glad he acted like he did after the game. It shows how tough he is.”

[Jared Plaudis @JaredPlaudis]

@ShitpostRock2 It’s fitting that your profile picture is a clown

[Jared Plaudis @JaredPlaudis]

@MarkHalperin List of counties Mark can name off the top of his head: “America” and “East Dakota, I think that’s one, right?” End of list.

@CoraBuhlert There are consequences to putting Jared Leto in a movie. Nobody is going to see a movie because he is in it. However, there are many people who will not go see a movie because he is in it. He is box office poison.

[Jared Plaudis @JaredPlaudis]

@chrisdo84546069 @a7las1984 It’s wild to be on the side of a bank

@stoolpresidente Dude is on an all-time run of being the worst guy who can’t stop posting

@Tatumburneracct @exlaws24 @NBA_NewYork Dang, got me, bro

[Jared Plaudis @JaredPlaudis]

@KaddySchak @Elsenor81 @rodger Going up by X and coming back from being down by X requires the same point differential. Your brain just thinks one is more impressive because you only see the score difference in one of them. They are the same and it’s why a game is 4 quarters long, not 1.

[Jared Plaudis @JaredPlaudis]

@KaddySchak @rodger Points in the fourth quarter count the same as points in the first quarter. A comeback takes the same point differential that getting ahead takes. Stop deciding that the only real one is the one happens earlier. Don’t choose to have a simple mind

[Jared Plaudis @JaredPlaudis]

@Lormike_24 @osuzack Maybe Wemby can spend that free time learning that Finals games are longer than the first quarter. Just a thought.

[Jared Plaudis @JaredPlaudis]

@LizzySavetsky This cooks for people who can’t put coherent thoughts together
