I still find it interesting how classical music both calms and focuses White children while also acts as a deterrent to what the New York Post would call “loiterers” with the hard R at gas stations

Bukele is going to reform Latin America by just invading places and killing all the criminals and then moving on.

Reality is a location game.
If:
You walk the same 5 streets.
Sit in the same 4 rooms.
Repeat the same 3 routines.
It’s no wonder why the world feels small (should feel vast 24/7);
Open world games only render what the player approaches…
Life works the exact same way:

Spain: "Help! We have an emergency! Too many migrants!"
Citizens: "Finally, someone is going to do something"
Spain: "The emergency is that the migrants don't have enough resources! We need to get them food and iphones and houses! We're airlifting them to the mainland!"
🇲🇦🇪🇸 70% of illegal Moroccan migrants who invaded Ceuta now claim they are gay
Right after the mass border breach of the Spanish enclave in July, the migrants said they were fleeing poverty and unemployment.
A few weeks later, the rhetoric shifted sharply.
About 70% of applicants began claiming they face criminal prosecution in their home country because of homosexuality.
Under Morocco’s Criminal Code, same-sex relations are punishable by 6 months to 3 years in prison.
The migrants are using this legal fact as a strong basis for seeking international protection in Spain.

One of the reasons I don’t like socialism is public bathrooms.
A public bathroom is about as basic a shared resource as you can get. Everyone gets to use it, and everyone is expected to show a little consideration for the next person. The rules aren’t particularly complicated.
And yet, a shocking number of adults can’t even manage to throw their paper towels in the trash. Some will pee all over a toilet seat and leave it for the next person. And the next person, who didn’t make the mess, certainly isn’t going to clean it up either.
Now imagine trusting these same people to collectively manage an entire economy.
We can’t even get everyone to agree that cleaning up their own pee is a personal responsibility, but somehow we’re supposed to believe everyone will become hardworking, responsible, and considerate when we’re sharing the fruits of each other’s labor.
Now, compare your average public restroom to a Buc-ee’s bathroom.
Buc-ee’s figured something out. Clean bathrooms attract customers. Customers spend money. So the company has a financial incentive to keep those bathrooms spotless. They hire people to maintain them, hold employees accountable, and compete for your business.
And people will literally plan their road trips around stopping there.
That’s capitalism. Someone recognized a problem, found a way to solve it, and made money because people valued the result.
Of course, not everyone contributes equally to society. Some people work harder, make better decisions, and take more responsibility. Others seem perfectly content making life more difficult for everyone around them.
I believe people should have the freedom to live however they choose. I also believe in helping people who genuinely need it.
But I have a hard time accepting an economic philosophy that expects me to trust everyone to act in the collective interest when some people can’t be bothered to clean up after themselves.
Buc-ee’s figured out how to get people to willingly pay for a better experience.
Socialism wants me to believe the people leaving paper towels on the floor will suddenly become responsible stewards of everyone else’s resources.
I’m going with the beaver.
The pilots who dropped this bomb were told they had a 50/50 chance of coming home. Russia kept this footage secret for 59 years
It's the biggest explosion humans have ever made, about 50 megatons. The shockwave still caught their plane and threw it down almost a kilometer. Watch the flash
It was dropped on October 30, 1961, over Novaya Zemlya, an island in the Arctic. The bomb weighed about 27 tons and was 8 meters long. It didn't even fit inside the plane, so they removed the bomb bay doors and carried it half outside
To give the crew time to escape, it fell on a giant parachute. The plane was painted white to reflect the heat
It went off about 4 kilometers above the ground, thousands of times stronger than Hiroshima. By then the bomber was over 100 kilometers away, and the blast still caught it
It was originally designed for 100 megatons. The engineers cut that in half, because the full version would have spread enormous fallout and left the crew no chance
One of the physicists behind it, Andrei Sakharov, later fought against nuclear testing and won the Nobel Peace Prize
