The way they specify left-wing makes me feel like he may be recruiting transgender witches to the "right-wing" to find a counterbalance.

Where they would be put in a caged area and used as an exhibit which would effectively be much like a trophy to them.

Supposed to be in at work at 8, brain starts pacing in worry at around 11pm the night before. "If I don't fall asleep I won't wake up on time". 3:00, "ugh I don't have enough hours to sleep well but if I don't fall asleep now I'll never get up!". 5:00 "shit it might be better I just start up!). 6:30, "God I'm exhausted let me close my eyes for 30 minutes..."
I for some reason did this in my late teens, was fine from about 22-33 and now suddenly in my mid to late 30s (37) its back and feel stressed as ever about it

Russia Makes Largest Gold Sell-Off Since 1998 Default to Fund Putin’s War Budget
Is my math wrong or is that not less than 3% of it? Which according to the article from 1998 to now they haid raised their gold 5 fold meaning comparing today to 1998 when they have 485% of the gold they had in 1998.
The U.S. in that time has never seemed to try to raise or lower their gold reserve so one could say they have ~100% of what they had in 1998.
I'm not so sure gold in this context shows enough overall to compare such numbers

Do you believe we were persistent hunters in the past or is it a bunch of hogwash?
I most definitely believe that people were. It may not have been everywhere and it wasnt always needed. For example the indigenous people in North America could outsmart the Buffalo, heard them via scaring them with wolf like pelts/noises and direct them towards cliffs to fall. The buffalo in back don't see the cliff, and essentially push the one or two up front off
But where there wasn't Buffalo you see tribes who hunted deer, deer won't run in herds and be forced off cliffs so easily. A human can't outrun a deer in short distances, but we can cool ourselves and regulate our temperature better than deer can, so while working in a team will obviously make it quicker, a healthy human can run down a deer and make it quit out of exhaustion.

just build the planes like that
This sadly reminds me of one of the days I "ruined my life". My base degree was aerospace engineering but my main focused more comp/sci towards the end. When the houthi/u.s engagement restarted a company here in the states took a contract to change a $1,000,000+ "smart" missiles to a "smart" firing system that launched ~$10,000 munitions. I quickly saw where this was going and how fast we were progressing and also saw a request for how it could be refitted for strike instead of defense. I left the next day. Didn't have a job lined up. Found something at nearly 1/3 the wage 2 months later. Still felt better about my decision having eaten near nothing and scrapping by.
There is a difference between knowing which side is right or knowing murdering innocents is worse than meals.

Wang Yi: Palestine is the biggest historical injustice since World War II; China will remain on the side of the oppressed nations

24% of Israel's imports come from China, twice that of the U.S. China could simply say we will stop selling you products if you don't do ___ and Israel would be hard pressed not to do what they said immediately. Yet nothing but words have come, meaning they haven't much interest in what happens there so long as Israel keeps buying their products.

Black MAGA creator ‘can’t believe the disrespect’ after she’s removed from Ken Paxton rally
Reply in thread
I have to believe they profiled her and thought the odds that she isn't a threat was to high. Basically, "is this person secretly a Democrat trying to sneak in and ask disagreeable questions or record things we say and post them online?" Then they looked at their "who is likely to not agree with our agenda list" and her skin color and sex didn't match up with the majority of their voter base.

No the government would be obligated to sentence you to punishment for having woke up with a headache.
Thus I feel many would choose to not self-report. We'll have black market Tylenol knock-offs which will quickly turn to people dabbling in harder narcotics and eventually fueling an opioid crisis.

TIL Seminole bats made it as far north as Indiana. They truly are non-troublesome sweet creatures you will never have to know exist and really eat the things people hate where I'm from

when was the last time another nation bombed an elementary school in the US?
Look there have been at least 2,000 attacks on U.S. schools with guns... They just so happen to be performed by people from the U.S as well

‘Who builds a ballpark next to a gun range?’: Coach injured by gunfire that crossed into baseball diamond
People in a field shoot without reguard to what's in the direction of the bullets they are firing. Kids flee, a coach is shot and someone thought they should blame the baseball field builders lol. Mate if you fire a gun and there is any reasonable belief that bullet can strike something other than your target, you should be charged with shooting at that object.
To me that means attempting to kill that coach/kids.

Apparently Trump didn’t know Pentagon paused Ukraine aid back in February. Reuters: U.S. military aid to Ukraine was paused in early Feb — not by Trump, but by Defense Secretary Hegseth.
Seems like they are setting Hegseth up to take a few falls to consolidate blame.

Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who mandated that all schools teach the Bible, was caught watching porn in his office
Being that it is presumably a state owned company, they should know if there is a VPN installed on it. If there isn't, the guy would have had to use his ID to access porn sites in Oklahoma. It would be hilarious if someone like pornhub came out and said. On that date at that time he was watching this porn according to our records. We have those records because your state made them mandatory for us to keep.

I worked multiple customer facing roles when I was younger. This is the procedure for all of them, in fact it is usually a firable offense to try to stop someone with a weapon or threatened you. It is easy to defend stolen product to an insurance company. If you try to stop someone robbing a store and are injured or killed do to a policy the store had or a manager told you, the insurance isn't going to pay anything. Someone stealing "$30,000" worth of merchandise (which insurance pays you back for) and then being on cameras and not being able to use a lot of it without getting caught is much more preferable than having to pay hundreds of thousands in medical bills or millions in gross negligence if someone dies.

I mean the CEO of Ford said it was humbling when he traveled to China to see what they were doing. Then he imported a Xiaomi SU7 to Michigan apparently so they could "study" it. The U.S. called that reverse engineering anytime China did such when I was growing up.
