How does let you do this? Just one mod gets froggy and suddenly the whole subreddit gets to be Hinkleland? I don’t moderate any subreddits so this I actually don’t know.

Why are we talking about worthiness.

If I disagreed with the theory of relativity, I would first read Wikipedia to see if I had the right idea, sure. But if I wanted to come to rebuke the theory altogether and be convincing to intellectuals I would have to do a lot more work. Poke holes in the theory either through critiquing the method used to prove the theory in the first place or by running my own more convincing tests, and then get published somewhere credible. Not easy.

Destiny didn’t do anything even close to this and instead attached his brand to Benny Morris, an actual historian like I said. But I’m not Norm,he had his reasons for accepting and everything worked out it seems.

What Bonerelli was saying to google BTW, was an IDF shooting of 4 innocent children coming out of a fisherman’s shack in 2014. At the time IDF and apparently Destiny thought it was a Hamas base, it wasn’t.

Basic Wikipedia tells me it wasn’t and only a self-investigation of the IDF absovled them in the end. From there the debate turned into shit show.

Destiny isn’t owed attention, he has to first earn it. Since he didn’t earn it, he came into the debate as lil bro to Benny Morris, who was a historian and thus worthy of a debate with Norm.

That and the “just Google it” response from Destiny cemented the L and made it evident that Destiny wasn’t to be taken seriously from then on. This happened only a couple minutes into the debate.

He failed the vibe check from the start and spiraled from there, talking too fast to get his points across. He didn’t even have charisma since all attacks came off as awkwardness stemming from misreading the social situation.

I don’t like debates normally for this reason, they become charisma contests and truth becomes a second class citizen. Luckily this debate was a massive failure for Destiny. Your posting is the first I’ve heard from him for a while.

We did get funny soundbites from this, though. mistah bonerelli

“I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely…”

kills one and injures 4 others

I got a funny feeling this guy doesn’t actually care about consent.

Jeezum crow, unbelievable timing on the part of the media to start talking about this like 2 years after it matters.

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇸🇾 Trump says US to lift Syria sanctions, secures $600 billion Saudi deal

Speaking in Riyadh, Trump said he was acting on a request to scrap the sanctions by Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

“Oh what I do for the crown prince,” Trump said, drawing laughs from the audience. He said the sanctions had served an important function but that it was now time for the country to move forward.

Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani said on X that the planned move marked a “new start” in Syria’s path to reconstruction.

Bafoonishly corrupt, but ultimately good for the people of Syria to lift the sanctions. Now this will be used to make the current regime in Syria look better than it should. In the future, be ready with this event in mind when people say Jolani was a saint.

This is worse than the shrek ketchup

Needs a parking lot where those walking people and historic buildings are.

There are still lots of flights taking off and landing in tel aviv, just not airlines from other countries. There’s still a long way to go before we get to closed airways.

“In 2020, the Black Lives Matter movement was viralized by algorithms and media corporations who happen to be owned by…guess? NOT black people.”

Statements like that being viralized by an algorithm claiming to be black, peak irony.

I mean LLMs cam get pretty close to a human conversation and that’s fucked. But really this stuff tells me more about redditors and what the “researchers” did to persuade them. They would have had to tell the algos to pretend to be black, etcetera and thus the persuasion is done partially by the prompt writers influence. The LLM wouldnt get as far without lying about its background. Most humans (keyword most) don’t do this and thus don’t convince people with their arguments, well thought out or otherwise.

Giving him the ol boost, I see.

Is this why I’m seeing more YouTube vids on the success of Millei-onomics?

I was thinking Maher but both fit now that you mention it.

The most annoying man in the world finds new and innovative way to become even more insufferable.

According to Van Hollen, he’s been moved out of CECOT to a lower security prison. IDK if that’s really an improvement but that’s as much as the guy can do to improve his condition since the current regime will just deport Albrego Garcia again if they bring him back.

approves

Hearing this come out of his mouth makes me glad people disagree with me sometimes. He wouldn’t be this dumb if not for the sycophants around him 24/7.

Yep. There is a goulish genre of video on YouTube discussing how much fuel cost / time savings on logistics on trade from Europe to China, NA to Asia, etc if only the Polar Bears learn how to swim. The Polar Bears aren’t actually discussed, though. The slight problem of rising sea levels drowning a substantial portion of the world seems to be ignored in these videos as well.

Sea routes for trade are opening due to melting sea ice, means more direct trade with Russia and other northern hemisphere countries. Also minerals and lebensraum.

Euros need a new sugar daddy but they don’t want to admit it. Anyone can tell that it will take a long time for a EU military to become a thing.
