Wtf did I just read…

Virgin boy eggs are widely accepted as a tradition in the city.[3] Boy egg vendors go to elementary schools in the city where they collect urine from young boys, preferably under the age of ten. Children who have been raised in the city are used to the practice, and relieve themselves in basins that the vendors place in the hallways. The teachers often remind the boys not to urinate in the basins if any of them have a fever or feel ill.[3][5] Some vendors wait with containers in parks or public restrooms for a parent who is willing to let their child offer urine.

Yeah, you can just not need/want those specific products for a number of legitimate reasons.

Once the online propaganda/psyops funding dries up, it’s amazing how quickly the masses move on from a controversial figure. That’s why I don’t think the MAGA infection that the US has will last long without billionaires continually pumping their bullshit. There’ll always be cultists, but I even remember seeing how quickly most folks moved on after 2021, only for a resurgence around late 2023 when lots of billionaires flooded his campaign coffers.

No offense, but this sounds like nonsense. I can’t imagine any bank willing to take that kind of financial risk given the current context of things.

Ummm, how about it’s setting a super fucked up precedent? Even if they don’t do anything, it should absolutely not be something that’s tolerated and normalized to have armed military roaming our streets.

Why aren’t all blue controlled states viewing this as an act of war? The federal government is literally invading states against the states’ will. First LA, then DC, now Chicago? Where the fuck is the line drawn?

Serving in the military does actually have an expedited path to naturalization. https://www.uscis.gov/military/naturalization-through-military-service

But, this fascist regime doesn’t give a fuck about anything except hatred and cruelty.

The Death of Stalin.

I’ve heard it’s quite good, haven’t gotten around to watching it myself yet.

Headline is a bit misleading:

There has been no confirmation that such a proposal is on the table, and Newsweek has contacted the White House and the office of Alaska’s governor for comment. The Telegraph cited a White House statement that it did not comment “on deliberative conversations that may or may not be happening.”

I loathe Trump and won’t be surprised if he does in fact offer this, but he hasn’t actually proposed it to Putin yet.

I’d say it’s part incompetence, part intentional sabotage. He truly is a fucking moron, but he also hates the US.

I don’t think states have the ability to wage a war like they did in the 1800s. The federal government has centralized so much power since then. Back then, all you needed were muskets and cannons and bodies. Nowadays, it’s a completely different battlefield. And guess who has ultimate authority over every State’s national guard? The DoD. I would hope that the commanders of those national guard units would pledge loyalty to the Constitution and their States before whatever the fuck this regime is, but Trump and his lackeys have been actively pushing out all commanders that aren’t loyalists.

100%, this. Not even most of the P2025 ghouls really support Trump’s absurd obsession with tariffs. But it’s the only real weapon he has to threaten countries with that don’t bow down to him. It’s why I’m surprised the billionaires-- I mean Congress–haven’t taken away this toy from him yet, since a fucked US economy will hurt their bottomline eventually.

Tidal is owned by Square (the mobile payment app/company), and I think Jack Dorsey (Twitter founder) owns that. So, probably safe to say it’s already pretty corporate.

The name of the program is called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Alcohol isn’t needed for survival and is therefore outside the scope of that program. I’m actually quite surprised some states allow it to be used for booze.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, fwiw, just pointing out why most states don’t allow it to be used for that.

I hope rising sea levels swallows their bullshit island.

Yeah, I deleted my comment right after I sent it because I had realized I’d misremembered it being Resources instead of Services. Didn’t think anyone would’ve seen it that quickly, haha

Ahh, did not know that. That’s really fucking weird…

He has like 20 kids with over a dozen women, I don’t think this insult works very well.

Just one of many studies that raise concerns. Yes, they pump rats full of a fuckton of these chemicals that no normal human being will ingest. You could say the same thing about tons of other chemicals that have turned out to be carcinogenic. We don’t have the funds to give rats/animals normal doses over the course of a normal human lifespan, so pumping high amounts to shorten the duration is the next best thing.
