Israel’s Qatar strike was an absolute fail, for multiple reasons:

• Killed any chance of expanding Abraham accords for a while

• Made Israel and America look like bad allies who will backstab for their own gain

• Hurt relations with basically everyone, including America

• And didn’t even kill the Hamas leadership they were trying to hit!

• Even if it did kill them, would it even help the situation in Gaza? (See my explanation below)

Usually Israel actually succeeds with their plans. It seems they have good intel and ability to strike most of the time, regardless of their intentions. But the core premise of this plan was to decapitate the leadership of Hamas - which would mean all the cells on the ground now have no one to tell them what to do with the hostages. Israel would have no way to negotiate with the leadership to release any of the hostages, which if you can’t tell, prolongs the war.

And it hurts their credibility with Hamas: how do they know they can negotiate without getting bombed? I think this was just Netanyahu trying to get some credibility with the people, because it doesn’t help anything on the field.

Also, let’s remember 9/11 today, another great tragedy in history that not only caused much death and suffering in America but also led to the suffering of many in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places.

Many disagreed with my last post. I understand y’all and I was worried personally about the post. However, his death did actually make me think and I believe my thoughts are respectful and the type of thing he and his family would want said about him at his death. I only posted it because I actually felt that.

It's not me being a salesman using a sad situation to guilt people into believing my religion. I genuinely think that:

1) Charlie would support me saying that (which I believe makes it respectful) and

2) Our need for Christ is the highest thing, above anything else, and so I must share it or my priorities would be misaligned. I just want to clear that up.

I think that including my own story could have been a good example, but it probably went too far and made it too self-centered.

Sorry to those I offended. I do grieve for his family and those around him who are suffering, and should have emphasized that in the post. But I think the core message was respectful to him and he would agree.

Charlie Kirk was in the middle of speaking when he was shot. Those were his last words. He definitely did not think it would be his last day.

Life is not guaranteed, and what will happen when it’s over? The only way to have true life now or for eternity is trusting in Jesus. If you don’t trust him, you need him.

I used to be anxious and living for the approval of everyone around me. I was saved by Jesus on July 4, 2023 and now my life has totally changed. The only thing that saved me was the power of God, not self-help or anything like that.

I didn’t agree with Charlie Kirk on a lot of things, but as far as I know, we would have agreed on this.

There’s basically no new features they could really add at this point that add anything to phones - other than insanely hard problems like making a way better battery

Everyone switches their phone to use 24 hour time and thinks they’re different… come back to me when you’re using Eastern Arabic numerals

I kinda want to get into football (soccer) jerseys - they seem really cool and you can collect ones from different countries

jeffalo’s transformation from an android and linux-only nerd into a full apple ecosystem rizzler has to be top 5 switch ups of all time

What do y’all think of the Scratch Creative Learning Assistant? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGwu-7jTeaY

Oh dang, I don’t remember if I noticed… Thanks to @hakim and everyone else for 300 followers!!! I really appreciate you guys following me, and I appreciate all of you as people too!

I’ve come a long way as a person since I joined wasteof, and no joke this site has been a part of it. Love y’all.

By the way, the app I’m making is a Cookout menu randomizer, because cookout is so popular here lol

I know how to code myself, and I’ve made full apps before. And it’s fun. You can look on my GitHub to see them.

But the context behind my last post is I got home super late and I was really tired, but I couldn’t go to bed yet, and I had an idea for an app. I didn’t want to just scroll online, but I also didn’t want to do the coding myself. So I just pulled up GPT-5 and it did most of the work for me, and it was legitimately fun.

I don’t want it to replace full coding jobs or anything. It was just fun in this one instance. Let a guy have fun fr.

Alright y’all, I’m not gonna die on this hill. But I was being serious, vibe coding was fun and it let me do something I would have been too lazy to do.

I agree that normal coding is better, I’m not an AI bro. But I wouldn’t have made that app without it.

Vibe coding is actually so fun, I had an idea for an app so I just started using GPT-5 and it’s super easy. Now, I still need to know how to code it myself to fix its errors, but it’s way easier than doing it myself.

Hot take: The Original Trilogy in Star Wars is not as good as the Prequels. They have less meaning to them, just a lot of action.

Another semi-hot take: The sequels in Star Wars are honestly so bad they need to be redone. No real meaning or strategy to them just rebels running away, and then miraculously tons of people show up to help when they never cared about it before. And another hot take: I would honestly prefer Star Wars to not have the Force or Jedi in it. The rebels fighting with no advantages against a much bigger force and taking advantage of their flaws is so much better than just Jedi and Sith battling with no strategy.
