machine learning also in practicality helped to solved protein folding sequences. every technology in history has good and terrible uses. It’s like how movable print contributed to great things and also helped the Protocols of Zion and Der Sturmer come into existence. As always it is a question of ownership and socio-economic structural incentives

take me to my wedding on the ironman zamboni

calling it the “holy grail” like it’s some mythical unreachable thing. The sun’s been doing it for the earth since before there were life to use its energy.

lmao I can’t believe mf put his face to that story

Especially twitter. It is pretty much entirely just stormfront fascists and government feds () and bots and advertising for onlyfans and crypto scams. It ruins my day any time I click on a twitter link. Nobody real or worth taking seriously at face value is seriously using that platform, especially in comments and replies.

damn i read Blindness a few years back never knew the guy was a comrade

just makes me think of this:

Supreme Court: Death Penalty Is ‘Totally Badass’

I like the ones that carry off and bury dead ants. I saw a video where someone wiped the compound they release when they die on one’s back and little guy was like “well guess I’m dead” and waited till he got carted off and thrown in the pit. Eventually it dissipated and he got back to work.

thank you ants. thants.

The second “í” is “imbrochável”, a word without exact translation into Spanish, which, according to Bolsonaro Jr., alludes to male virility during sexual intercourse, provoking laughter and a jocular apology to Karina Milei for the explanation.

really not beating the “he has sex with his sister” allegations.

The energy in that room is so awful. It looks like there is not a single person there capable of having or being fun. There is not one genuine creative spark or novel perspective among the lot of them. Utterly lifeless joyless crowd. It’s the energy of a bunch of deadbeat divorcees in a smoke filled cigar bar they spend every night at harassing the waitress and making gross jokes that only they laugh at, and not even because they’re funny, but because they know other people are grossed out by it and take a weird joy out of the “rebelliousness” of having this social “power” of making others uncomfortable.

Also Milei looks more and more shit every time I see him. He looks like he’s aged 15 years in 2. What are these people even doing with all their plundered wealth?

seconding BJJ or wrestling as focus (and learning to sprint well), boxing or kickboxing as second if you feel the need. The vast vast majority of civilian fights that can’t be de-escalated are not cinematic circling-and-striking but instead are very sloppy tantrums that immediately go from shoving, to clinching, to the ground. Being able to control someone’s limbs is important, especially if they might have a weapon and there is no de-escalation possible or as you said you can’t access yours if you have one. I also think something like a stun gun or mace would probably be safer option than a knife to end a fight. People, especially under adrenaline, can keep going not even realizing they’ve been stabbed 50 times, and by that point you’ve added a much more ugly variable thrown into the mix (and it’s also harder to grip somebody who is covered in blood)

That said always avoid fights or escape those circumstances if you can, and try to never be alone where fights might happen. And where there are fights, like serious fights with someone trying to do you harm, be as unfair and brutal as you can immediately.

could have been easily de-escalated

“could have” is the point. Sometimes even if it “could have” it isn’t. Better to have something that might not need be used than vice versa. OP also isn’t guaranteed to always be alone in situations that can’t be de-escalated (and plenty of fights happen with prior warning, belligerence etc.). It is always better to be able to contribute than not if your friend is attacked or some other thing happens.

And you bringing up mugging is irrelevant, because nobody would ever say that someone who has you at gunpoint in a mugging should be struggled against, martial arts or not. No serious martial arts instructor would ever recommend or even float that as an option. You always give them your shit. That’s not what self-defense is for, fighting back against armed muggers.

Having a gun can help de-escalate through threat if there’s distance and it hasn’t broken out, but if a fight has already started or the distance can be closed before you can access it or even worse after you’ve drawn it but can’t point and fire it, now you’ve added a lethal variable and turned a fight of-some-kind into an almost certainly lethal scenario. And by that point too if you aren’t trained enough to know how to control someone’s limbs in wrestling for the gun, you’re increasingly possibly fucked.

It is very very good to train martial arts, and very very good to train the ability to run away fast, and always hope you can opt for the latter in most cases.

We need a new rejuvination of spirit and comradery of purpose in action with which to rally around instead of the lustreless consumerist idleness of the bygone era

I read that the Taiwan pager company Golden Apollo (that the Hungarian company BAC that is suspected of being the ‘middleman’ in the attack purchased licensing of, hence why the remnants of the bomb pagers were licensed as official Golden Apollo ones) is a very established exporter of pagers to north america and west europe and is used by western intelligence agencies. western intelligence apparently (by their words so who knows) got tipped off that “something” was being planned to happen by Israelis but weren’t told what.

So it is conceivable that it was a simultaneous terror attack on Lebanon and low-key threat to its western backers who are faltering or otherwise having their populace turn on their support. There were EU countries who not only abstained in the UN GA vote, but even voted in favor with the “uncivilized world” in calling Israel’s presence in the occupied territories “unlawful,” demanding they remove themselves, and urging countries to embargo them from weapons and war-prosecuting material trade. While the Israeli UN ambassador shitted and farted and cried about how it is “diplomatic terrorism” (Whatever the fuck that even means)

They’re non-binding but still politically representative of trends. The stances of these countries and their populations leading up to votes like this is definitely easy for intelligence to have prior-knowledge of; and the Democrats are and have been visibly hemorrhaging support over this. The mass sustained protests all over the world against the IOF’s genocidal occupation and assaults and for the liberation of Palestine have become unignorable by their establishments. Even US college campuses have had to update their rulebooks to include “zionism” as hate speech (surely not going to hurt Jews and trivialize and provide cover for actual judeophobia by equating Jews with Israel. DtA). So it could be a double-message there.

As well, Israel is just desperate to escalate in as many tangential ways as it can to kick off a regional war and drag the US and NATOsphere into it because their current predicament is unsustainable.

I didnt know what ‘podjon’ meant until reading a comment below, and so when I read this I read it Spanish “Podhón” thinking it was some LatAm political insult like gusano.

Sitting here like “huh I guess there was a Peronist on Survivor or something”
