I'm torn between feeling bad for someone and knowing taking satisfaction at imminent demise is probably wrong, and the impression I have from what people have said that he's an inauthentic catholic and is better off replaced.
The Pope lectured the West on why they should let illegals in en masse and destroy their nations.

All from from behind the giant-walled Vatican City. Which doesn't allow illegals.

Fuck him.
 
Africa is fucked for more than 1 reason

and often over looked issue is there lack of connected, navigable, (thats the key word btw NAVIGABLE) rivers as compared to Europe

View attachment 7050260

You can see their major rivers doent even connect directly but have countless small, rapid and waterfall laden switch backs

View attachment 7050267

The European rivers by contrast larlgey incconnect and are NAVIGABLE the whole way, ancient vikings were able to sail from the baltic to the black sea using these rivers and only very rarley having to briefly haul their boats overland, we know this beacuse they trade with the people of the Caucuses and we have their records of the "terrifying" but intelligent norsemen who were "the filthiest of all allahs creatures" in their own words.

GEOGRAPHY MAN, it matters and sheeit

ive always heard it was the lack of beasts of burden like cows, ox and horses. american indians never had any use for wheels because they didnt have any animals that could pull a cart until the white man came along.
Lack of domesticate-able larger beasts, navigatable rivers and grain suitable for long-term storage is generally the main explanations for the comparable lack of civilizational progress for sub-saharan africa.



There's the racial component as well if you want to get controversial. South American peoples had some of the same geographical disadvantages as sub-saharan africa (like lacking large beasts able to be domesticated) but still had impressively powerful empires at the time of european contact, with their larger cities rivalling, even dwarfing, any single city of europe at the time.

And assuming the out-of-Africa theory of human evolution is correct, sub-saharan africa would have a thousands of years long headstart on europe and asia both in terms of civilizational progress.

From my non-Catholic perspective, it seemed like he wasn't great, probably not even good. But when I was paying attention there seemed to be moments where he could've been worse, but he wasn't. Lord have mercy on him.
 
The reason the epstien files are so important is because they need to be followed by prosecution. If they can barely bring themselves to release the files what is Pam gonna say when people ask for those alive to be punished?

No matter what the democrats are going to bitch, moan, and throw a spectacle when the first prosecutions begin no matter how small the crime or the amount of proof provided.

The thing they argue about and draw attention with with stupid protest needs be videos of the person they are defending raping a child followed by that grown up child confirming the event occurred followed by Kash Patel giving a power point breaking down chain of custody that existed before deep fakes.
 
On the topic of computer chips (semiconductors) this 2020 McKinsey report has some helpful visual aids.

Exhibit 1 shows supply and demand by country.
South Korea is almost balanced.
Japan supplies twice their own demand, so 1/2 their capacity is exports.
Taiwan has a large supply and a sliver of demand because they mostly export.
Europe, China, and the US gobble up everything they can't produce in-house.

Exhibit 2 shows production by node size (nanometers).
TSMC (Taiwan) and Samsung (S. Korea) produce with the smallest nodes (<10nm).
Exhibit 2.png

The older bigger process nodes are kept around because the factories already exist and it costs a fortune to build new factories. Humanity has an almost unlimited demand for chips, so after the old factories are "paid off" they basically just print money.

Newer smaller nodes allow for higher efficiency and higher top speeds.

Massively oversimplified example:
You can imagine a 10nm based chip is simply a 20nm chip that is 1/2 as long and 1/2 as wide. That would be 1/4 the size. You would get 100% the speed for 1/4 the electricity. Or you could put 400% the speed in the same area.

It is nowhere near that simple, but I hope that gives an idea on why newer nodes matter.
 
I'm listening to news out of ABC, CNN, The Daily Wire, and Fox which strongly suggests that Democrats told Zelenskyy to tank the meeting just so the Democrats could try and make Trump look bad. Chris Murphy and the usual Democrat suspects are already doing the media rounds calling Trump a Putin puppet.

I'm not sure if Zelenskyy was on coke. He wasn't grinding his teeth like most cokeheads do. However, I think he was looking for a way to attack Trump and was not expecting Trump to do a kiss-and-smile presser. He was expecting Trump to be an asshole because that's how his Democrat preppers oriented him. I said it in a separate A&N thread, but I really do think Zelenskyy is being proxy bullied and gaslit here by Democrats.

These commies really are willing to do anything that makes Trump look bad, up to and including the destruction of a sovereign country. They're absolute psychotics.

I think the coke theory goes that he was coming down, thus decreasingly zooted and increasingly irritated and testy
either way the people who got in his ear beforehand have some splainin to do
 
I don't think anyone actually cares outside of online moralizers like us and people like Fatpacks who just want things to go wrong. Everyone else forgot that happened by the next morning.
You seem to forget that Epstein and his "suicide" fucking blew up all over the place, including in normalfag circles. EVERYONE wanted to know what he knew and the names he was going to give out. Nobody fucking likes dirty people, including celebrities and politicians, of which a fuck-ton of people were hoping for, which would kick-off the crumbling of the entire house of cards.
People are more concerned that an egg costs $1.50 than they are interested in sprawling child abuse cases from well over a decade ago.
My guy, Reddit ≠ the majority of normalfags

So what I'm getting from this niggerscreed is that an ethnically homogenous country can make universal healthcare, and indeed, society in general, work properly; and that it's impossible if you're riddled with diversity.

Alright, the black woman spoke, we shut up and learned. Now let's get on with it.
 
Trump now giving remarks
Trump got asked if further aid was going to cease
"President Zelenskyy supposedly made a statement today in AP -I'm not a big fan of AP so maybe it was an incorrect statement- but he said he thinks the war's gonna go on for a long time. Uh, and he better not be right about that, that's all I'm saying."
"If somebody doesn't want to make a deal I think that person won't be around for very long, won't be listened to for very long."
