@RWApodcast A Jew whose name sounds like the Latin plural of Asmodeus (king of demons in Abrahamic religions). Almost comically evil cosmic coincidences (?).
@XperimentFiles It's written in safetyist SV slop jargon but the entire 2nd half of the essay is about how "democratic" countries need to pool their future AI-derived military supremacy to conquer the rest of the world
Dario Amodei of Anthropic says in his latest essay that fully autonomous AI weapons are evil and bad and absolutely need to be banned, except when they are used to kill Russians, which is justified and necessary
Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore, famously commented on a London newspaper stand as a sign of the highly-civilised society of Great Britain in the 1940s.
His words came to mind when I saw the state of this newspaper stand in a London tube station this afternoon.
It’s remarkable how far we’ve fallen in such a short amount of time.
His words:
“Perhaps the most impressive sight I came upon was when I emerged from the tube station at Piccadilly Circus. I found a little table with a pile of newspapers and a box of coins and notes with nobody in attendance. You take your newspaper, toss in your coin or put in your 10-shilling note and take your change. I took a deep breath - this was a truly civilised people.”

Russia has a large Muslim population because of the muslim lands in the Caucasus, like Chechnya. This exists for hundreds of years. Russia is a diverse country for centuries because of that.
Not because Russia let in a flood of illegal immigrants that get a higher status in society. This is the difference, idiots forget.
Hey @grok, what exactly does the section Hilchot Issurei Bi’ah, Chapter 12, Halacha 10, in Rambam’s Mishneh Torah say? Text only, no judgement or justification.
Hilchot Issurei Bi’ah, Chapter 12, Halacha 10 (Rambam, trans. Eliyahu Touger):
[10] If, by contrast, a Jewish male enters into relations with a gentile woman, when he does so intentionally, she should be executed. She is executed because she caused a Jew to be involved in an unseemly transgression, as is the law with regard to an animal. This applies regardless of whether the gentile woman was a minor of three years of age, or an adult, whether she was single or married. And it applies even if the Jew was a minor of nine years old, she is executed.
This punishment is explicitly mentioned in the Torah, as Numbers 31:16-17 states: “Behold they were involved with the children of Israel according to the advice of Balaam ... Execute any woman fit to know a man through lying with a male.”
Hebrew: אֲבָל יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁבָּא עַל הַגּוֹיָה - בֵּין קְטַנָּה בַּת שָׁלוֹשׁ שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד בֵּין גְּדוֹלָה, בֵּין פְּנוּיָה בֵּין אֵשֶׁת אִישׁ, וְאַפִלּוּ הָיָה קָטָן בֶּן תֵּשַׁע שָׁנִים וְיוֹם אֶחָד - כֵּיוָן שֶׁבָּא עַל הַגּוֹיָה בְּזָדוֹן, הֲרֵי זוֹ נֶהְרֶגֶת...

71 children from an Orthodox Jewish school have been rescued from underground tunnels connected to a sewer system in New York.
The children reportedly got lost during a trip after they began exploring what was down there.
Emergency crews responded and were able to safely locate and rescue all of the children without injury.
Imagine being so mentally fragile that you view every small question as a huge decision. “How can I make myself the victim today?” Just say that you hate your husband. Cleaner.
Vedomosti reports that around 24.9 million people in Russia may be involved in informal employment, with 5.5 million working entirely in the shadow sector.
The newspaper says it's further evidence that real Russian incomes are dramatically under-estimated in official data.
It also points out that the potential fiscal effect is enormous: legalising this work could bring the state budget an estimated $12.5 billion in taxes.
Scientists in 2023 published a study claiming prehistoric women were better hunters than men. The same scientists who can’t define what a woman is are now experts on what women were doing 12,000 years ago 😂💀
I’m convinced America is one massive meme…
For what he paid just to get 5 stitches, I’d be chilling a whole week in the Dead Sea or Sharm 😭
