Horrifying. Hospitals in Russian occupied Luhansk will take newborn babies from parents unless proven that at least one parent is Russian:

It was not nice seeing Jong once again post endless massively sized twitter hot take images in every thread he came across. Quite possibly the reason why posting pics no longer works. Next time show...

It's because Russian and Russian-like institutions are terrible and cause a long hangover. Yet Putin blames the CIA, not hostile Russian governance, for all the former Soviet countries wanting to...

The majority or around $10 billion in the recently passed Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act goes towards humanitarian aid for Palestineans. The rest is split between US Department of...

As always Rod is wrong, and dumb. Most of the the items in the Ukraine aid bills go for other Department of Defense needs (this has all been covered before when Rod brought up the same Russian...

Bad math. The Heritage foundation went full MAGA. The vast majority of the aid money for Ukraine stays in United States. Of the $61 billion for Ukraine in the most recent package, for example, only...

Funny. Dug the Napoleon Dynamite vibe

This is wild. Operation Market Garden, led to 17,000 Allied deaths and left Berlin & Eastern Germany to fall to Russia. Montgomery’s plan wasn’t foolhardy, it was brilliant and would have ended the...

I had to stop egging leroy on since everyone knows, just because you now have to call them “intellectually” disabled doesn’t stop them from drooling on themselves.

Try sticking a distress flair up your ass and lighting it off. Somebody might help. Until then, keep trying to work it out...

Not wanting to put it together on your own is probably for the best. That'd be like sparking a pretentious fire...

The whole GLSDB project was rushed. Still a quasi-valuable learning experience about Russian EW capabilities. The Pentagon now realizes current GPS satellites aren't as effective as a system like...

A quote was provided. It's up to you to rub your two IQ points together and figure it out...

That’s what I call juxtaposition

Sad face emoticon :( Can you feel the pain through our screen?

Actual statements accurately quoted. On a positive note, tho. At least with all that Rohypnol in your system there are no bad memories.

You know, you really are a strange cocktail of inbreeding and Type II Diabetes

If I had a dollar for every brain Rod & Leroy don't have, I'd have two dollars!

Right, Putin and his Kremlin cronies say over-and-over this war is about the Russian empire and their sphere of influence. Putin, for example, mentioned Poland something like fifty times during his...

Agreed. Despite my support for Israel, I've been critical of the current government and want to see Palestinians thrive under a democracy. To wit, the Netanyahu government initially enabled Hamas,...

Accusing Israel of genocide is a deliberate attempt to delegitimize its military actions and deny its right to self-defense. This misuse of the term is particularly insidious because it diminishes...

An important observation. Focusing on Israel appeals to Western intellectuals because it feels like an idea. Proclaiming genocide in the context of international law serves to deflect any implied...

I quoted leroy directly in the post above. In various gun discussions over the years leroy fantasized about fighting a civil war in America. Fighting tyranny and all that.... leroy also laughably...

This lie told by Rod has been repeatedly debunked in this thread. There are hundreds of thousands of missing Ukrainian civilians many of them in mass graves seen in satellite photos. In Mariupol...

It's a lie, not hyperbole. And the issue of defacto militias is especially relevant since leroy has for years had a kill boner for fighting with militias in America against other Americans. Pew! Pew!...

Leroy the savant—emphasis on the idiot.

The battalions in question are made up almost exclusively of orthodox men, not more broadly men and women from all aspects of Israel's society. They were...

Wait, what? If leroy LARP-ing into the Israel/Hamas/hezbollah/Iran discussion like a panda bear with a Glock taped to his paw wandering into a pit bull fight after watching a handful of TikTok videos...

No, there was no majority up until about 2014 hence the use of word plurality. Whereas according to Pew a majority of Israelis actually still supported a Two-State solution up until 2013. Israel is...

Speaking of blissfully unaware, a plurality of Israelis up until about 2013 held the view settlements were bad for Israel's security and settlements were harmful to Israel. That changed post-2014...

Rod making the case for onshoring American manufacturing. Not sure that's a winning Pro-Russia argument, but whatevs.

Wait, what? Even taking bitcoin industry data at face value still convincingly proves my argument.

Setting aside the fact batcoinz page link for their BEEST model goes to "Page not found," the...

Agreed, it depends on the definition. If the definition of a Ponzi is any asset that *only* goes up because more investors want to buy it then that definition is too broad. There are lots of...

Right, I'm not disputing the illegality of the requests. That's not the point. The point is the industry's self-reported numbers have been consistently debunked and that's why they oppose a more...

Scientific literature review of academic and non-academic industry data showing self-reported bitcoin/blockchain energy usage is rife with errors, outright bias, and unsubstantiated claims or...

Regardless, the industry has a history of falsifying energy usage numbers. Bitcoin is wasteful by design. That's why the industry will fight any and all environmental disclosure requirements. As for...

lol, based on the bitcoin mining industry's self reported data. That data has been repeatedly debunked throughout this thread. Weird tho how the industry has a deep affection for self-report data,...

I'm not aware of a phrase to describe it. Regardless, the Ponzi crowd have it wrong. It's not a scheme that crashes down upon exposure. It's more like a balloon that keeps deflating and inflating...

Nonsense. Firstly, because the WP article shows bitcoin is unnecessary when it comes to advancing green energy. Bitcoin mining is not advancing the green energy transformation in any meaningful way....

Further strengthening sanctions and further strengthening Ukraine is on net defunding Russia's war machine.

We must confront aggression against democracy and freedom. Not appease it. Voting to defund the Russian war machine is smart.

After all, Russia’s Foreign Ministry officially states that it is...

I accurately called you a liar, which you are. And bitcoin is no solution for any of the things you attach it to. In that sense, it's just your smarmy salesmanship all the way down. It's gross.

A post full of lies. I never claimed inflation is under control. I never said inflation was transitory. I predicted the opposite would happen. In fact, I accurately predicted what would happen with...

Previous post was accurate as was the one you quoted. In any case, you've posted dumb takes about inflation throughout this thread (like sippy cup look how much a candy bar cost in 1920 takes) so...

Mark Zuckerberg is not the hero we wanted but the hero we needed. Good on him for making Llama 3 open source.

"Fuck" -- Darth Putin

When the money supply increases nominal wages, nominal prices of goods & services, etc. also increase proportionately over the long run. So nominal prices change, but real prices stay the same. Real...
