I get a headache from the tv at offices and dr offices. the signal wave I think.

When I am subjected to TV, for instance in a waiting room, I am shocked at how artificial it seems. How alien.

@dictatordave @s2208 @EvilSandmich @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild @petra Dunno really. I barely watch any news.

I haven't owned a TV in 15 years.

@thefinn @s2208 @EvilSandmich @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild @petra whats the honest deal with the cops showing up for social media shit too? just dont engage in that gay shit or gay platforms and you're good?

@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @thefinn @s2208 @EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild @petra sheep farming in western australia doesn't sound like a bad proposition especially when you consider the urban influenced zones of the us

@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @petra @dictatordave @EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild yeah I went in on a blue chip miner - BHP Australia.

They have a bit of everything really. The world really would have to be ending for them to go out of business... they have plenty of Aussie mining assets there which are top tier too.

@thefinn @petra @dictatordave @EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild Im all in on gold and greek real estate. So nothing phases me basically. Sure this year will be shit for tourism but im not planning anything in the resort so it won't effect me at all.

@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @petra @dictatordave @EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild Ya I changed a few investments around. Shit that wasn't going anywhere anyhow, I moved that money into big mining companies while their share prices were depressed.

Hoping for a fairly quick end to this war now, and they should rise again.

Consider all the minerals that rely on long transport routes, and the cost of that transport is now much higher.

@petra @thefinn @dictatordave @EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild No. No crash. Not yet anyway. But. Big trouble. Most importantly meaning most profound impact, American inflation. Midterms are lost to the dems 100% probably 2028 too. If this doesn't stop now, us economy will take 2 years to recover. So the gop basically committed suicide by self immolation. Arabs are fucked, EU is fucked. But no crash in the sense that we talk about. Not yet anyway.

@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @thefinn @dictatordave @EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild Any comments on the impact of Hormuz being closed long term on the economy? I'm curious about it being a tipping moment on the global economy crashing Great Depression style if this keeps going.

@thefinn @dictatordave @EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild My finbro yesterday, the one that told me about the billionaires not able to cash out from the biggest jew bond, said exactly that. "There's no victory to be had, its just small defeats that go on and on and on"

@thefinn @dictatordave @EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @TrevorGoodchild They think that taking over western Europe/japan post ww2 was nation building (it was actually stealing all of the wealth and giving us debt in return) so they think they can do it everywhere. Where to start on why that is wrong 6 million different ways...

@dictatordave @EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @TrevorGoodchild Yeah a few people have made that observation.

Nobody does "nation building" what even the fuck is that?

You go in and occupy and take the land, or destroy shit and leave.

@EvilSandmich @Obfuskation @thefinn @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @TrevorGoodchild imo the us military's biggest mistake was accepting some roll as peace keepers or some goons for an installed regime

thats fuckin dumb and is never going to be successful

history tells us its a retarded idea
you either lay down the fucking law hardcore or you leave shortly after sacking a place

you cant just fuck around and make it a day job

I left the bar last night walking with one foot on the road and one foot on the curb for about 50 yards when a cop stopped me, and asked if I was drunk.

I said, "Thank God, I thought I was crippled!

@Dan_Ramos I don't think my OS should know where I live or have any part in verifying my identity

@Vo

Agreed. Make my hardware work and do your job of running software. Leave the choices of identification and personal details to individual software that might be deemed limited to adults. My OS should have no part in that.

There's now anecdotal evidence emerging from Iran that while Iranians may be critical of the Iranian regime, the devastation wrought by the US & Israel has both revealed those countries' callousness around civilian deaths, and led many Iranians to fear the destruction of their country *more* than the continuance of the current regime - a resurgence of nationalism.

After failing to 'support' the uprisings before the war, Iranians realise the attackers are *not* their friends!

Well, it is usually the ones who win who usually "cheat" or bend the rules.
Funny thing about life. You are only a cheater if you get caught. Otherwise you are a winner
