But the prize was made of chocolate, so it’s only peace until it’s completely gone. Then it’s back to authoritarianism.

Oh man it’s pretty bad. Heads for the hip bone first and then climbs it’s way up your spinal column and into your ribs. The space between your skin and ribs basically turns into sandpaper and it just eats away at your nerve bundles within your spinal cord. All the while it’ll build this extracellular material that basically acts as a wall to prevent cancer treatments and pain medication from getting in.

And in all of this the cancer is using the damage it’s causing to healthy cells to feed itself. It’s really high up there in incredibly painful ways to die. Makes up less than 1% of all prostate cancers, but has to be the most shit lotto to win.

His cancer was absolutely terrible. I wish it on no one. Dude’s bones were growing daggers into his flesh and tearing him up from the inside and there’s little anyone can give to ease that kind of pain.

I mean, he’s no saint and I’m sure he’s got a nice place in hell waiting for him. But damn, that kind of cancer is the stuff nightmares are made from.

Why are all these politicians so interested in Crypto?

One can only wonder.

Analysis shows that a wallet linked to the token’s deployer removed approximately $2.43 million in USDC liquidity shortly after the peak.

Yeah so this is classic rug pull. Hype, get it into retail, have automated buy in, pull liquidity. Maybe put it back a bit and pocket the fees for retail going crazy.

I read somewhere on here someone say “people wouldn’t have enough time to get scammed.” A lot of this is all bots buying, including small time players who are just using something like Freqtrade python scripts for buying and selling. No one is doing actual research, they’re just a program watching microtransactions. Thirty minutes is eternity.

But yeah, this is exactly why you see so many bros so strong on this and why politicians and Governments are getting into it. The early days are like the early days of completely unregulated stock markets. It’s cash grabs everywhere. Down the road, there’s going to be this moment of ladder pulling to “keep everyone safe”.

The Soviet Union isn’t actively moving a part of it’s nuclear arsenal to the island.

The entire aspect of the crisis was weapons that could actually reach mainland US.

At the moment, no one who borders the Gulf of Mexico has weaponry that could reach say Miami or say Texas City a more strategic point.

So there’s a sense of security by distance in the United States. Now the thing is, this whole thing changes the second any one of these nations procure a medium range weapon. That was the missile crisis. The US found out the USSR was trying to send long range missiles that could strike deep inside US territory.

The same would be true here. The second any of these nations obtain a missile that can hit the US the whole calculus changes.

Can you imagine? “Oh yeah, we invaded Venezuela but they have the ability to start blowing up condos from their own nation.” People would be a whole lot more upset than they are currently.

That’s correct. Reason why the inside track will usually be a song with less bass, etc…

This is a few counties over from where I’m at, but the biggest thing was Channel 5 News did an interview with the Sheriff and he basically admitted on air that the guy wasn’t guilty.

Like I can not stress how much the State’s county DA and Sheriff have fumbled this case and basically handed this guy a blank check.

And the thing is, while a majority of folks were okay at one point for punishing guy over his meme, the county has all but replaced all that with disgust how how terrible the cops have handled this.

Like they’re still upset about the meme, but nowhere near as upset with how self destructive the Sheriff’s department has been.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting

This is specifically for doing that. Processing centers will be understaffed in heavily Democratic areas, Republican strongholds will have mail that magically gets a stamp fifteen nanoseconds later. Republicans can literally not win without resorting to cheating.

Mom, I want an aim bot!

But we have aim bots at home.

The aim bots at home.

Good on you. I hope all the games find a good home.

She can’t resign from a job she never legally held.

That’s like this kind of interaction in a race:

I’m sorry sir, we’re disqualifying your car from racing today. It seems to have a jet engine attached to it and we don’t know how that got by inspection. But it’s not allowed in the rules.

Oh well that’s easy to explain, I just didn’t take my car by inspection. I just drove it out here and told everyone I’m here to race. It’s a race, correct? Well I’m here to race with the best of them.

That doesn’t sound like you’re an actual participant in this race then. You should not be here and I’ll have to ask you to leave.

Leave? Perish the thought. I officially withdraw from this race. scoffs Clearly you are not ready for innovative takes on race car design.

Well it seems you weren’t in the race to begin with, but by whatever means, please see your way out.

That is what this whole thing summarized is…

The leaders behind EPIC City have engaged in a radical plot to destroy hundreds of acres of beautiful Texas land and line their own pockets

— Texas AG Ken Paxton

That’s really odd for a State that has regularly written off all the various pollution Musk does over at his launchpad. And of course that ignores the obvious anything and everything that has anything to with oil production there.

For those just wanting a summary. Nobody is updating the price tags on the shelf. So when you get to the register, it rings up at a higher price. And if you never look at your receipt then you’ll never know you over paid.

It a lot of states it’s easier to pay the fine than to hire someone to come regularly update the price tags. Error rates in most states are capped at 0.5% to 2%. However, in the example store they talk about in the story, the error rate was 23%. Which is wild. But given that the fine is just $5,000 per inspection, they’re likely making more money in the long run.

Mike Johnson accused Democrats of “cherry pick[ing] three emails out of 20,000 documents” to “try and imply that the president was guilty.”

Buttery emails anyone?

Most aren’t up in 2026. So don’t forget this.

The Government’s argument, I shit you not, “Congress has not given explicit permission to do this.”

Invade cities with ICE, bomb boats in the body of water formerly know as the Gulf of Mexico, literally start a war with a sovereign nation, tariff the fuck out of everyone… BUT OH NO! Feeding kids, that’s Executive overreach.

Man, I’m not religious, but holy fuck I really do hope there is a hell.

All they have to do is say, ‘Let’s go. Let’s open up our country.’ And everything snaps back into shape.

Except it doesn’t. There’s several cuts that have been made to the budget. While ACA has been the most visible because of the Democrat’s demands. There are cuts that will remove 3 million people from SNAP. $300 Billion removed from Federal education grants to various schools around the country, including rural schools that severe small populations.

The ACA cut has been the one that Democrats have really dug in on, but the OBBBA has tons of cuts that are going to affect everyone. And Democrats have been asking since March to have a seat at the table for shaping what was in OBBBA only to have all their motions to bring to the floor denied.

And that’s the thing. Everyone knew that Senate Democrats were going to be needed for the coming CR. They knew this all the way back in March. By May House Republicans started shutting out Democrats and Senate Democrats told them what was going to happen if the House kept pushing Democrats out of everything. They knew what was coming and they still did it.

Republicans don’t get to do the “my way or the highway thing”, even when the ACA went into effect there were Republican riders that were enacted along with it. Build Back Better included plenty of pork projects for red states. Inflation Reduction Act helped out tons of deep red districts. I’m sure everyone remembers the member of Congress who voted against it but then told constituents how great it was going to be.

Democrats help out Republicans, and the OBBBA completely shutting Democrats out of the process isn’t how Congress does things. So yeah, Republicans are seeing the result of their choices. And they have the opportunity to make different choices.

What gets me is that studies show that autism is highly genetic.

In identical twins, ASD in one usually leads to a diagnosis of ASD in the other 96% of the time. Which lines up with a high affinity to genetic factors.

In fraternal twins we have seen, a 16% when a given sex ASD is diagnosed leading to an opposite sex ASD diagnosis. A 36% when a female ASD is diagnosed leading to a female ASD diagnosis. And a 31% when a male ASD is diagnosed leading to a male ASD diagnosis.

This lines up with genetic factors from a particular parent that are expressed with the gonosomes. That it affects higher in women is a hint that it may be within the X complex gonosomes. If Tylenol played a serious role in the development of those things then we’d see different data here. That opposite sex fraternal is nearly half the amount for same sex fraternal, really hammers home the notion that we’re dealing with something genetic. But at the same time we don’t know what genes.

The core argument with RFK is oxidative stress. But literally everything causes oxidative stress, not getting the correct amount of sleep causes oxidative stress. And that’s the bigger issue with the studies that RFK has forwarded about Tylenol. Their argument is a confusion of causation and correlation.

And this has been pointed out by a ton of concerned scientist. That’s not to dismiss the data that RFK has provided, it is pointing out that the data they are using doesn’t point to the conclusion they are indicating directly.

I can imagine that Texas could possibly prevail on their case given that even scientist, including the ones RFK cites, aren’t 100% sure that Tylenol has any role in any of this. This isn’t the first time some group or even a State sued over poor science, but it’s really frustrating because Texas has a duty to provide for their citizens and here they are using a poor conclusion to some data to do something that’s no in the interest of their citizens.
