Of my six main friends in high school, only two of us are still alive. This was true before any of us turned 40, by the way.

Oh, I see someone else had the same childhood I did, huh?

Yes. Canada will become “Norther Dakota.”

I don’t think Canada will collapse, though. Just become a lot more like Mexico, as they let in too many feral third worlders, and will incur the consequences of that.

Well, he’s not wrong.

They took themselves out of history and will soon be Islamicized.

Europe’s future is very, very bad.

If you’ve ever been in a legit fist fight, what life lesson did you learn after the first time you were in one?

That if you try grappling with a guy a lot bigger than you, you’re definitely gonna lose.

Give me 8-12 months and I could create a virus without LLM use that’d drop all y’all, given the funding. There are roughly 100,000 people in the world as smart as I am, so the pool of those who could achieve something like that pre-LLM is not too gigantic.

However, there are probably 100 million that could complete this task with LLM use. And someday soon, a lot more people will realize that and give it a go. Good times, good times.

Not that far from us.

Horrible story, and I wish they had not died, but there are certainly worse ways to go than while having fun with your friends.

The woman’s wife who got killed is an idiot. The woman who got killed was also an idiot.

I still don’t think it’s a justified shooting. But it’s also not prosecutable. The ICE agent was pretty clearly not in fear for his life, but when you do stupid, unpredictable and completely-avoidable shit around not-that-bright men with guns, very bad things tend to happen.

I don’t think Renee Good intended to run over that agent¹, but I don’t think she cared if she did or not. Bad decisions all around. And as with most things of this sort, no side will agree and nothing good will come of it.

One of those little fuckers bit me one time when I was messing about in the Santa Fe River. There was blood.

I’ve been punched, kicked, hit in the throat, held at gun point, caught up in a riot, and nearly choked to death.

I am not impressed by you. https://t.co/hwmeZRV7tG

Sounds like she had a life like mine. I’ve been punched (tons), kicked (tons), avoided two attempted stabbings because I am hella fast, been held at gunpoint twice, been shot at once, and been in a few hundred fights.

And other than a few of the fights, none of that happened in the army. What a life, my friends.

I’ve been driving on a highway where stuff like that was happening. Rural Montana. At night.

Do not recommend.
