Well he said he’s not so I guess we can shut the fuck up about it and focus on how his opponent the convicted felon pedophile rapist just showed up on more of the infamous pedophiles secret documents.

You know, the convicted felon pedophile rapist that is trying to say that his presidential immunity protects him from misappropriating campaign funds to silence a porn star about the affair they had while his 3rd (4th?) wife was pregnant with their son.

These kinds of posts are actively harming our chances of avoiding a fascist take over. Can you not? The convicted felon was just listed even more times on the infamous pedophiles private docs, is there not an article about that you can post? gotta make sure everyone keeps talking about how an old man had an old man moment. An old man that’s helping the IRS go after the 1%, helping the EPA regulate carbon emissions, helping medicare lower drug prices, helping student loan borrowers reduce their burden, helping the fucking Ukraine while it defends itself against the soft-launch of WWIII… I’m sure there’s more I’m missing.

I’ll vote for a corpse over fucking fascism. Biden passing would mean a strong black woman gets put in charge, and however much I disagree with some of her positions, I would take almost any black woman over drumpf. 99% chance of them being 1000x better for working families than the convicted felon pedophile rapist.

I don’t get it. But I’m also fairly sure there’s nothing to get. Why is this comic?

The defendants in that case were acquitted because the income of money from illicit sources could not be determined, according to a court statement.

Sounds like the judge did their level best to find some random way to weasel out of doing their job. “Oh, wait, you can’t prove definitively that every single penny of the laundered money was from illegal sources? Guess that means everyone is innocent!”

It can’t just be me and my perspective. The world is just legitimately getting worse, in almost every respect. WTF.

They did an interview with one of the inventors of this technology that’s pretty interesting. He seems to waffle around the idea of whether or not this collection of neurons has consciousness 🤔

Epstein took his own life in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial over federal sex-trafficking charges.

Odd how the BBC would just lie like that.

I solved this by purchasing 2 sets of 15 white cotton rags. When I finish evacuating my bowels, I use the bidet. Then toilet paper to make sure everything is clean. Then I use one of the rags to dry off whatever water happened to get on my genitals, before giving the backside a good wipe down as well (women learn this young, but for the men, ALWAYS CLEAN FRONT TO BACK. NEVER BACK TO FRONT. That’s how you get a UTI). Toss the rag into a small laundry hamper I keep in the bathroom, and voila! You’re clean, dry, and ready to go. Just wash the rags with some bleach, and you can fold them as you take a dump instead of doom scrolling.

you are truly a moron. I pity the people in your life.

Dang I thought you were going to say something about people who are in wheelchairs.

Walking, in general, is a healthy activity that the majority of people would benefit from. I’m sorry your anxiety stops you from this activity, but to call someone idiotic, and their comments offensive, because they suggested someone with anxiety take a walk; is pretty silly.

Attorneys from the ACLU’s National Security Project will be working with Brandon Clint Russell’s defense “for the limited purpose of challenging the government’s secretive warrantless surveillance under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act,”

ok. You’re a russian plant

I took mushrooms, high dose and micro, while on SSRI’s. There’s the smallest, most miniscule chance of seretonin syndrome. But 9999 times out of 10000 you’ll be fine.

Great. Awesome. This way our regulatory agencies can be hamstrung just like prosecutors going after crooked cops with qualified immunity. Unless the law specifically states what is to be regulated and how, then agencies can’t do shit.

Just like how if the law doesn’t specifically state that a police officer can’t do a thing, it’s fair game!

This is such a disastrously stupid ruling, further curtailing our ability to combat climate change and all but dismisses any authority the EPA and other agencies were once afforded.

conservatives have such a boner for the vagaries of the second amendment, squeezing in as many assault rifles as they can into something original drawn up with fucking muzzle loaded muskets in mind. But as soon as anything vague in law is used to do good, they’d rather throw out democracy than risk doing the right thing.

Oh man, she got the crazy eyes. Don’t mess with someone like that, don’t engage or make eye contact.

So, makes sense she’s republican.

I seriously almost did this. I visited the Netherlands, and fell absolutely head over heels for their way of life. It’s so damn peaceful and free! You don’t have to worry about getting shot when you’re running errands. You don’t have to worry about going bankrupt through medical expenses. You don’t have to worry about going to jail over weed or mushrooms. You don’t have to buy a car, because bicycling infrastructure and public transportation is AMAZING.

While I was there I met a lovely chap who is originally from England. He told me that he spent a holiday in Amsterdam, and broke his leg. So he stayed at the hospital, and afterwards, just didn’t leave. He’s been working/living there ever since.

When it came time for me to leave, I had accidentally missed my train, and it was going to be some extra money to switch around my flight/train to get back home, and a part of me was seriously considering just being like “fuck it” and staying. The only thing stopping me from moving there now is the knowledge that I’d have to continue paying taxes to the U.S. if I wanted to keep my citizenship while living and paying taxes in the Netherlands. 😑

If anyone can tell me a way around this… please do, because I want to move to the Netherlands.

From the study itself:

These (UPFs) products are characterised as industrial formulations primarily composed of chemically modified substances extracted from foods, along with additives to enhance taste, texture, appearance, and durability, with minimal to no inclusion of whole foods.

What is a “whole food?”

I looked further into the paper they used to classify UPFs

A practical way to identify an ultra-processed product is to check to see if its list of ingredients contains at least one item characteristic of the NOVA ultra-processed food group, which is to say, either food substances never or rarely used in kitchens (such as high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, and hydrolysed proteins), or classes of additives designed to make the final product palatable or more appealing (such as flavours, flavour enhancers, colours, emulsifiers, emulsifying salts, sweeteners, thickeners, and anti-foaming, bulking, carbonating, foaming, gelling and glazing agents).

So I guess a “whole food” is a food that doesn’t contain High fructose corn syrup or additives. But if they are making this direct link between ultra-processed foods and increased mortality, then surely it’s these specific substances that are responsible for it? So why aren’t we banning high fructose corn syrup and these additives?

Surely it doesn’t need to be more complicated than that?

“What happens when we eat these substances?”

“we tend to die more quickly then if we didn’t eat them.”

“so let’s ban these substances.”

“OK.”

This is where Finland and Sweden excel. Because they have mandatory military service, everyone with a gun has been trained in all aspects of it’s use/care. Finland is one of the top 10 countries with the most firearms per civilian, and yet their rate of firearm deaths is minuscule in comparison to the U.S..

At this rate though, I don’t see how any meaningful gun regulation can be passed. The nra stopped universal background checks from being passed after Sandy Hook. I lost faith in republicans since then. They’re bad faith actors, that when faced with the prisoners dilemma, choose suicide.

Remind me why it’s legal for a foreign government to fund election campaigns in the U.S. against it’s critics? When mbs ordered the killing of Jamaal Kashogi, and people were outraged, did we let him pay for the election campaign of his critics opponent? Who’s Saudi Arabia’s candidate in congress this year? how about China’s? Russia’s?

Remember when Bernie almost won and only took transparent, U.S. based small money donations? Remember what it was like to have a candidate that you actually trusted?

Latimer pulled in the endorsement of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Holy shit just fuck off to obscurity you POS. Nobody wants to hear from you. All the power you’ve wielded and you’ve done NOTHING good with it. Americas marge thatcher

The world needs more babies.

Does it?

Or do we just need to embrace migrants?

“A reduction in the share of workers can lead to labor shortages, which may raise the bargaining power of employees and lift wages — all of which is ultimately inflationary,” Simona Paravani-Mellinghoff, managing director at BlackRock, wrote in an analysis last year.

“Have babies,” said the billionaire, “or else who am I going to exploit in the future?”

Getting real sick of all these different foreign governments abusing shitty campaign finance laws to fleece Americans out of tax money while shielding themselves from the consequences of their own actions. Everyone standing in the way of campaign finance reform is explicitly on the take, it’s never been more obvious.

Anyone else also hesitant to comment on stories like this because you just know some zionist POS is gonna pop up out of the woodwork to say some dumb shit about hamas?
