Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed?
Almost all politicians are. And Epstein wasn't the only operator. Today's politicians act like they are, and Epstine's operation was too far in the past for most of them.
Blackmail mills blackmail a lot people. If you had political finance money, would you finance the campaign of someone who says they are aligned with you, or someone you know will stay aligned with you? Power isn't given to un-blackmailed people. And people who want power know this. So there is a long list of people willing to get blackmailed to get into power. They may even enjoy the part that gets them blackmailed.

Turns Out, There Really Is a Cabal of Elite Crazies Trying to Control the World
And yet when people tried to point this out earlier, they were called conspiracy theorists. There are false conspiracy theories and true conspiracy theories. That's just how theories work. The ones that espouse true theories are then denigrated for seeing things faster than you.
This is why labeling something a conspiracy theory is not a useful way to dismiss an idea. The dismissal is only right half the time. And the other half you are missing something important, or refusing to believe something without looking into it. Instead, more correct is to critically assess what is true and false and not what is a conspiracy theory and not a conspiracy theory. It's more work but it's also more correct.
Who prefers the term "conspiracy theory" to be a shortcut for claiming an idea is false? A: People involved in actual conspiracies.
Also, people who use that pattern to claim something is false just generally struggle with English. Conspiracy != Conspiracy theory != False. But a common trope of a useful idiot is to claim something is false because it's just a conspiracy. And a shocking number of people take that argument seriously. Despite the fact that this person can hardly differencial aspects in the English language, much less develop useful anticipation of how the powerful will strategize, or worse, comprehensively determine without evidence what is not possible there.
If you discuss an idea of what powerful people will do, you are technically engaging with conspiracy theory. And we can't be having any of that!

That is your speculation. But he has to do worse than your speculation, isn't there a kind of infinite recursion there?

66% of canadians have an unfavourable view of the USA
Funny. When you defend a genocidal regime from justified resistance, people are going to dislike you.

Woah man. That's what conspiracy theorists argue.

Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed
This is why pirating is justified. If you want your shows to last forever, torrent them, and keep them seeded.

Do you think trump croaked?
Calling it. He did not. Source: People actually invested in knowing this would know. That includes traders on PolyMarket. All political markets are pretty flat since people started talking about this.
It is possible given your evidence that something medical has happened, but that doesn't automatically mean death.

Maybe we can put the state on trial. They always want to talk about how much of a pro or an amateur he is. It's a strange obsession. The only amateurs I see are "experts", cops, media. Of course I don't want them to be better. They can just fock off.

Never again
It's true. That box has the utility of the highest utility cable in it. Which means it's a lot. Worth taking up space under a bed you aren't using. Anti-horder culture goes too far. It's more complicated than dogmatically throwing away everything or keeping everything. Don't throw away things with real utility. Civilization is built on accumulated utility in durable goods.

The New Video of Federal Agents Ambushing a Student and Disappearing With Her Should Chill You to Your Core
This is why we should end all federal policing. It's not in the constitution. You were never meant to interact with your federal government. The federal government was for regulating the states, interstate commerce, and common defense.

Texas Prevents People From Owning More Than 6 Dildos. Now Lawmakers Want to Ban Sex Toys at Walmart.
Neo-puritanism needs to die. I'm getting excited because I think humanity is just generally getting fed up with control. We're done with this shit.
At least none of these people should be violent. They can have their views. But law is always violent. So it has no business being an extension of anyone's sexual views. If you violently impose your sexual perspective on others you are as good as a rapist in my book.

Exercise doesn't lose weight. Weight is 99% controlled by diet. Exercise will make you not feel like shit so you don't use food as a dopamine hit. Which is why moderate exercise is better for weight loss. If your workout is making you feel like shit, that might be good for fitness and performance, but it still won't lose weight faster, and now you are eating more to support recovery.
So there are two pathways exercise can impact weight.
Exercise -> psychology -> diet -> weight
Exercise -> calorie consumption -> weight
The first one just happens to be more impact because the second one does almost nothing at all. Any useful pathway has to hit diet because that's 99% of weight (at least of the factors you have control over).
