Most Based Comments

Basedness: ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜

True, but not universally across nations and religions as this fricking guy. (146)

What did he do? (50)

Basedness: ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜

9 million per home! How?In Chile, that is much more prone to earthquakes sometimes x1000 stronger than LA (most seismic country in the planet btw), most modern constructions (including houses) are made from concrete, and they are earthquake proof, and they definitely don't cost anywhere near 9 million (323)

It may just be because of their extreme building regulations permits and purchasing power parity (10)

Basedness: ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜๐Ÿ”˜

/u/inspectcloser Building inspector here. A lot of these comments are dumb stating that concrete and steel can't hold up to an earthquake yet look at all the high rise buildings in LA and earthquake prone regions.The video makes a good point that the US society largely conforms to building HOUSES with wood.Luckily steel framed houses are a thing and would likely be seen in place of wood framed houses in these regions prone to fire. Pair that with fiber cement board siding and you have yourself a home that looks like any other but is much more fire resistive.Engineering has come a long way (1116)

What's the cost difference vs stick built? (18)

Angriness: ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก

Path dependence is certainly a factor - but it's hardly dominant, or even the biggest one for most areas. More importantly though: for a fire that severe, there is a fairly good chance the concrete building will need to be demolished anyway. Concrete won't burn, but it can be damaged by fires in other ways: expansion, corrosion, spalling, cracking, etc. This is also a major factor in other regions in the US with different disaster risks. If the expected damage from the disaster is high enough that you expect to demo/rebuild either way, the cheaper construction wins out. This holds for major flood risks and for things like tornadoes. It doesn't hold for hurricanes because there is a safety component - concrete block homes have sufficient wind resistance to allow shelter during hurricanes, which is why they are a thing in Florida (even though the flood damage often means they have to be demolished anyways). That said: for fire in a particular there is a level of "herd immunity"... (1)

Angriness: ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก

This is a legitimate request for insight. I'm constantly worried about how much BS is floating around and how susceptible I, personally, may be to it. Even if someone is worldly, intelligent, educated, canny, or whatever, the sheer volume of misinformation means you're bound to fall for a lie eventually, right?And I can't make any special claim to bring any of those things. So: this video seemed plausible to me. I could buy it and fold it in to the body of things I "know". What about it is wrong? My biggest issue is it doesn't make any radical or harsh claims or judgements and it tells me something o already expect to hear (people are fricking up because they won't change) it's a really easy to accept it and let it add to my "knowledge". What's the catch? What is it making up? (1)

It's treating these recent wildfires like it's a major threat to all housing the US. Non-Americans do this every time there's a natural disaster that destroys homes in the US.The thing is, this wildfire destroyed a few thousand homes when there are 81 million homes in the US. Not only that, it was a fairly unprecedented wildfire that burned into an urban area because of the confluence of some pretty uncommon variables. That makes it big news for obvious reasons, but that doesn't mean that there's something wrong with Americans building wood houses. The reality is the vast, vast majority of wood houses in the US won't be destroyed by a natural disaster. They'll just be victims of time and progress, likely tore down to make way for a new house more in-line with the prevailing style of the time. So, the video is basically alarmist. It's like someone claiming that Germans are stupid for not building vehicles out of 1/2 plate steel because a few people die in wrecks every year and that o... (3)

Concrete does not do well in an earthquake. A poorly designed concrete house will still burn. It is possible to design so that the house is earthquake and fire resistant. The USA found this out the hard way. Look up pictures of cities that were destroyed by earthquakes. In most of the world wood and brick are not cheaper.Wood does not do well in fires. A poorly designed house will still collapse in an earth quake. It is possible to build fire and earthquake resistant houses. In most of the world it is not significantly cheaper than concrete. So choose your poison. LA burned for many reasons. Mainly Government stopped measures to prevent fires. Like water management, firebreaks, defunding the fire brigades, stopping power suppliers from putting in fire prevention. Building codes obviously were inadequate. Forestry /grasslands management is appalling. Personally with current State Government, bureaucratic and community attitudes, I just wouldn't live there. Too dangerous. Looks like m... (0)

[VOTE NOW!] SUDDEN DEATH: The Final Battle for Dramatard of the Year (@BWC vs @J)

Hello once again my lovelies. Because nothing says drama like chaos and a broken voting process, we're back with a surprise twist for the Dramatard of the Year award! In true site fashion, the original vote has been thrown into disarray thanks to:

1. Nominee withdrawals (they said they were "too good" for this, smh).

2. Incorrect nominee names (classic).

3. Janitor interference (the plot thickens :capymerchant:).

4. Indian cyberattacks (you know who you are).

It's giving Miss Universe 2015, but with less Steve Harvey and more Reddit-tier clownery.

After sorting through the mess, two nominees have emerged as the undeniable favorites, being effectively tied in votes after the dust has settled. To make this a truly fair contest, let's settle this once and for all with a sudden death vote! The finalists are:


:brazilparrot: @BWC :!brazilparrot:

A Brazilian sigma wrapped in a mystery and sprinkled with a touch of spice. I'll be honestโ€”I have no idea what this guy's deal is because I haven't been around much, but apparently, you all love him. Or at least tolerate him enough to make him a finalist. Is it the mystery? The charisma? The raw chaotic energy? Who knows, but they're here, and they want the crown.


:marseymao: @J :!marseymao:

The brilliant mind behind @CrossTalkPM, restoring the lost art of pinging to the masses after the Reddit admins cruelly took away that beloved feature back in the olde subreddit days. A true hero of petty grievances, J restored order to our chaotic kingdom when we needed it most.


This is it, folks: two enter, one leaves. Will the crown go to the Brazilian sensation, or the bot-building champion of our ping-deprived hearts? You decide.

And yes, as always, I've asked ChatGPT to write this because I'm lazy. But hey, if you wanted a better announcement, you should've voted for me as janitor of the year.

Happy voting, and may the most dramatic win! ๐ŸŒˆ

Mozilla chair pay vs Furryfox market share (2023 update) : firef*x

					
					

Semi-bimothy Mozzilatards seething over Market Share Thread

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17370573539--VUehv9NtvpA.webp

:#marseyoperasmug:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1737057406VUPj3akloyv0MQ.webp

Almost like there is a correlation

That's right, a negative correlation.

:marseymat#h:

And still people donate money to these crooks lol

I'd be comfortable donating towards the development of Firef*x. Currently, that is impossible.

[deleted]

So is Wikipedia. Every year those scammers lie abut being on a verge of bankrupcy. All the while they spend less than 13% of money raised on actual wikipedia, rest goes into SF offices, executive compensation, "outreach" and building a trust which is already in hundreds of millions and would found wiki operation infinitely just from interest already.

:#pepemath:

Interestingly, if you pay enough attention to this graph, the most accentuated downfall in market share coincides with the least rise in chair's pay. When chair's pay increased the most, market share was dropping at a lower rate.

https://fedia.io/m/firef*x/t/1601470/Mozilla-chairman-s-salary-vs-Firef*x-market-share-as-of-2023


!braveshills can't stop winning. This is what you get for kicking out our God Brendan Eich over a 10k donation.

The problem with using Great Generals in the field base game is that the risk of losing them at 90% odds over battle after battle is just too great. Most often the AI only uses them like this as a last ditch chance to defend a city, as Ethiopia did. Brandenberg Gate actually incentivizes you to sacrifice them.

We get a Great Spy, but my espionage is good enough I don't really know what to do with this dude :marseyhmmm: I already have a Secret Service in Rome for espionage output, I can send him to build another one in Byzantion and make that city a spy training center. :marseytf2spy:

Moscow falls, and I have a Catholic missionary ready to show them the error of their ways.

Only after pushing into Moscow and France taking Riga is Russia FINALLY willing to capitulate.

:marseysigh: Now they are the "Province of Samartia". I will of course return their core cities to them, and hopefully influence them to become Catholic.

I restore most of Russia's conquered core to them. Hanging onto Poland and Ukraine for now.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1737082522QctXvWEVtDiATg.webp

I can liberate Ukraine but don't really want to. If I could set Poland free I would, but I think France owning Tarnopol is blocking it.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1737082523ehzvoDcivIPARw.webp

Russia really likes me now and is willing to convert to Catholicism. Part of the reason I did all this shit was for Foreign stability. Russia is usually a peepee but now we're homies and he's another stable vassal. Japan would have been similar but now that they're out of this world they'll no longer contribute to negative foreign stability.

Israelis seething that they have to take a break from their genocide

					
					

Particularly goulash threads, quoted lazy style:

>Maybe Israelis should have learned the 15th time it happened. Don't negotiate for hostages, if they die they die

Replies: (translated from israli hebrew)

If you are a citizen and this is your opinion, then you should know that I tend to agree with you, but at the same time I thank God that I am not in a place where I would be asked to make such a terrible decision.

I'm an Israeli and I agree with him. It's a hard choice to make but if you make the wrong choice every time, they'll just keep doing it.

It's not my choice to make you are right but it's obvious to everyone that Israeli society is willing to make the dumbest choices decade after decade.

There is no hostage as valuable on this planet than an Israeli hostage because Israel will throw away every objective to get them back.

Turns out israli lives aren't as valuable as palestinian deaths

Do I see this wrong, or does Israel look like the loser of this deal / war?

Then somewhere braindead ethnonationalist garbage. Yeah. Israel really lost with its 1:100 KD ratio.

They should not be rescued except by military action even if it means they all have to die.

I hope everyone who insisted that Trump was a great friend of Israel who will surely have the Jewish people's backs feels pretty stupid now. A whole lot of American Jews were trying to warn you that Trump was completely untrustworthy, and Israelis just refused to hear it.

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ NOOO our greatest enemy...brokers a peace deal for us :(( we want blood :marseycry:

Trump (and his sycophants) will just blame Biden on this whole deal

???? He took credit for it

Another translation from modern Hebrew:

>I appeal to all Israelis who oppose the deal (well, all the normal ones. Not those who are planning to starve 2 million Gazans to death or want to establish settlement blocs there because they think it will bring the Messiah or some other bigot)

What do you imagine that continuing the war will achieve? Do you believe that "complete victory" is just around the corner? If we continue to fight there for another year or two or five years, Hamas will disappear and we will have peace forever? And that we can leave Gaza and forget about it? Or do you think we will have to stay there forever. If so, are you serving in the reserves, and are you prepared to continue doing plus or minus six months of reserve duty every year, until you are 45? Are you prepared for your children and grandchildren to live like this?

Enough with the illusion. Hamas is not going anywhere. After a year+ we are no closer to taking down Hamas than we were at the beginning. The most that can be done is to take their heads off, but as soon as they are allowed to, they will recover, and if it is not Hamas, it will be another terrorist organization. The only difference is whether the kidnapped people will return or not.

One commenter mentions their desire for "the chanpiom program" in Hebrew. No such Wikipedia article exists, and English mention is almost impossible to find online, but here's the Wikipedia article: Click here for israeli genocide plans

Here's the english wikipedia article

It is kinder

Generally if you see Hebrew in the thread it's because they don't want the reddit admins to see their comment. Not always.

This is the future the average American is fighting for today.

The global untermensch has already formed. Infinite economic growth is the new religion of the day. Anything that gets in its way is destroyed or broken apart.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0j1z14p57po

Already there are negative terms associated with the sin of slow growth. Stagnation, failure, lazy, decline. It is no longer good enough to have the same quality of life today as you did 30 years ago, even if that was a good quality of life for you. Growth must occur every year, below 3% a year you end up being a stagnant economy.

Nobody truly appreciates exactly how fricked everybody is.

Group IQ in the west stagnated around the late 1900s to early 2000s. That means the 80 IQ group in your country is going to remain 80 IQ while the 140-160 IQ people are building all the cowtools and technologies. Societies are being built with structures that the groups within them will never be able to comprehend, and to keep growing economically, we have to keep doubling down on living in the 140 IQ people's world.

We are seeing the outcome of this clear as day in America, where an ever growing population is no longer capable of staying competitive in the US market. They can no longer hold down their jobs as the work expectations go up and they no longer just have to compete with humans anymore, but cheaper machines as well that perform at the same level as them and keep improving over time.

It is a very logical statement that you don't rely on people with 85 IQ to determine country policy. The US shouldn't be listening to their black populace until they get smarter. The reason for this is nobody kills and ruins more black lives in America than other black people. They destroy each other then blame white Americans who gave them free jobs and DEI.

These people, in a world that has far surpassed them, can only do one thing and aspire for one thing, a utopia in VR while they hide in their homes. Most population will go extinct like this, isolated in homes away from world, and that is why UBI is good thing in the end. Give poor nobody enough to stay alive and leave you alone and then die and remove self from the gene pool.

The American youth have no future, for America is a top down nation. The American people aren't expected to reach the top. They are expected to keep falling down as the top is filled up ever more with their better from across the world. That's what makes America win.

Every year, 1.6 million immigrants move to the US. 1.6 million jobs that the American born and raised in America won't get to do because they found somebody better abroad.

There are 157 million jobs total in the US market today. Every year, more than 1% of the jobs are taken by immigrants and the average American has to struggle 1% harder to get the same job as before, because competition is being brought in from abroad. America isn't a paradise. It is a trap. A trap where no community may survive for longer than 300 years. With only the top 1% making it through in the end.

If you are not in the top 1% of your race in America, you are going to have your bloodline die out within 300 years. No way around it. The US is a deathworld where all the traps laid out are laid out not to kill you at once, but to exterminate your gene line through lack of reproduction and take away your resources.

The future cannot exist in a civilization that doesn't believe in reproduction.

Today, the most reproductively successful people on the planet are the Africans, who even with an IQ as low as the 60s or the 70s, would still have the highest IQ among all the animal species on the planet, and a high enough IQ as to be able to reach the peak of early 20th century science without difficulty.

African IQ is also not so slow that zero growth occurs. Instead what we find is that the African continent keeps growing at a healthy rate even with their dumbest group of humans population. Once again supporting the idea that Africa is the future of humanity, as they are a populous people capable of continual growth without falling into the failings of economic growth in exchange for negative population growth.

This would make Africa the only successful human continent on the planet, and they win at just the cost of being 100-150 years behind the rest of the world. Which, in geological timescales, is no loss at all. At least as long as a meteor does not come directly towards the Earth.

Unless the other continents figure out how to begin growing in a positive direction again, Africa is the future of humanity.

I'd only been talking to this girl for like a day, she asked me about my weekend. For context, my week before had been super busy so I wasn't looking to do a ton of social activities last weekend just a nice, chill couple of days. I clearly cracked a joke about the fact that it was kind of a boring weekend, but I never expected her to reply like this
