Why would China share with the US? Especially now given the US decline

I do kinda feel like Starmer gets what he deserves. He bent down before Trump and joined his shitty war and Trump still shits on him. Maybe there is a lesson to learn there for him.

Hell freezes over before US war criminals are properly prosecuted. There is even some weird law that the US invades The Hague, if they detain US personal

This part is completely unhinged as well, but I guess it’s just what we expect now

Trump said despite Spain’s refusal “we could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody’s going to tell us not to use it, but we don’t have to.”

It is unclear how Trump would cut off trade with Spain, given that Spain is under the umbrella of the European Union. The EU negotiates trade deals on behalf of all 27 member countries.

“If the U.S. administration wishes to review the trade agreement, it must do so respecting the autonomy of private companies, international law, and bilateral agreements between the European Union and the United States,” a spokesperson from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s office said Tuesday.

I imagine he said it with admiration

Don’t build the torment nexus

As I understand it, it’s not about “just chill by playing tetris”, but more uses tetris to reinforce another mental method to make intrusive visual memories less intense and prevalent.

After recalling a memory, participants learned how to use a cognitive skill called mental rotation, which involves rotating 2D and 3D shapes using your ‘mind’s eye’. They then used this skill to play a slower form of the video game Tetris, which similarly involves rotating geometric blocks. This is thought to occupy the brain’s visuospatial areas, competing with the visual flashback, weakening its vividness and emotional impact – and critically, the frequency with which it intrudes.

A former girlfriend, called as a witness, testified that she had also climbed the Großglockner with Thomas P in 2023. She said he had abandoned her on the route at night after her head torch ran out of battery, leaving her distressed. “So that was the last mountain expedition we undertook together,” she said.

Capitalist “Libertarianism” seems to always go hand in hand with ramp up of Military and surveillance and it’s somehow not in conflict with a “small state” in their eyes. Libertarians also loved military dictator Pinochet.

FIFA execs can feel embarassment? I don’t buy it

God that AI image is soo bad

Yeah but within those 1% the pattern essentially is the same where a small minority puts out way more CO2 than the average person

So how is birth rate vs immigration rate? You got some numbers right?

The response of X is pretty telling

A) they can easily deactivate/restrict the ability of Grok to create non-consensual porn or even cp B) they still choose to offer it (for money)

Hate it when this happens

Started another run of Monster Sanctuary - one of my all time favorites. It’s a mix of Metroidvania and monster tamer and both parts work really well. Monster combat is teams of 3v3 and is pretty deep with individual skill trees for each monster and tons of synergies. Metroidvania elements also work really well - there is defo quite a bit openness to which area to explore first and there are also some optional and post game areas to find.

They also included some cool features for replayability - randomizer, permadeath for monsters, and a “bravery mode” giving you 1 random monster per area only for a cool challenge to come up with a build. I have over 10 playthroughs of it :D

There is also online pvp - not sure if the scene is still active, but there was an interesting tournament scene. I’m more about the single player though

Cool sounds good!
