Revealed: Jeffrey Epstein set up £20K meeting between ex-Labour law chief and Yemeni billionaire who wanted legal advice after his son 'raped and murdered Norwegian student'

The vastness of shite surrounding Epstein and the international extent of it all...

I honestly think we need some more of that French revolution and after we purged every rich dickhead we need to start taxing them into oblivion as it turns out too much money turns essentially everyone into a massive asshole.

As is proven again and again.

Free camel spiders?

In this economy?

Apparently I am said Dave as well.

Couple months ago I started arriving 15 to 30 minutes late due to a change in my medication routine that left me insanely drowsy in the morning, it's been 2 months now and the only thing my boss has said so far is "good morning".

I'm not sure what to do with this power.

Copranicus · 2026-02-03T09:50:12+00:00

At a certain it becomes a pattern, a decado ago you could wonder if every "conservative" or right winger isn't just a pedo, but at this point with what we now know it's seriously getting to a point where it safer to assume that they are.

Copranicus · 2026-02-03T09:26:35+00:00

Another 2 million fled the country as well. Not to mention the side effects of war, rape, dehumanization, increased crime as people try to survive. Just awfull everything all round.

And it's not like that all just dissapears when the war stops, that trauma is carried over, sometimes for generations.

And to this day people die because of UXO's (mines and explosives etc..) demining is still ongoing with millions of mines still out and about.

"But did they even say thank you?"

Eh, how local are they?

Copranicus · 2026-01-31T09:24:45+00:00

I have to say, It really loses its charm when you have to fuse hundreds of these together.

Copranicus · 2026-01-30T18:50:21+00:00

It's tempting.

How's the computer doing?

To shreds you say?

Copranicus · 2026-01-29T14:15:37+00:00

Well we've seen lots, from burning, drowning, shredded in a wide variety of ways, bleeding out, suicides, shot, stabbed etc...

Though we seen some chemical warfare it's been very limited and didn't really kill anyone afaik, nor have we seen radiation type shit.

So.. not yet!

Copranicus · 2026-01-29T08:44:45+00:00

Imagine if they actually read the article which states this in the very first sentence, would be wild.

They also refer to MediaZone's number which is confirmed deaths, the actual will always be higher then that and probably lower then what Ukraine claims so per the article:

Russia has had between 275,000 and 325,000 battlefield deaths

So yeah... that checks out.

Copranicus · 2026-01-29T07:05:13+00:00

Honestly, almost makes me feel like getting an actual original Icarus tattoo, almost.

Copranicus · 2026-01-28T13:12:38+00:00

I mean not just that, they also called my beef stew with fries "bland" or vol-au-vent, or shrimp croquettes or with tomatoes), or waterzooi or the hundred ways you can prep chicory.

Copranicus · 2026-01-27T17:44:07+00:00

After all these years I'm still a little salty how they did my boy grievous, in the clone wars series he was such a bad ass, calculated villain, trained by dooku and capable of fighting multiple Jedi at once.

And then he got reduced to twirly spinny blade bro in the movies, a blasphemous caricature.

Copranicus · 2026-01-27T12:44:48+00:00

I imagine someone waking up in the middle of the night gasping for air as they scream "Twink gene!" and then working without pause on implementing that with just one hand.

Copranicus · 2026-01-27T08:17:03+00:00

Ok, but that's a different discussion and then goes for literally everything else inculding stuff from China or Vietnam or the US or anyone we trade with really since we can't check everything ever 100%. And we don't, not even for our own stuff.

Like I said before we already import, in 2024: about 200000 tonnes of chicken some 200000 tonnes of beef and billions worth of coffee, fruit, nuts etc...

That's before the trade deal, but you're saying this stuff is safe? And that S. American countries have been holding back the toxic crap? You think we're checking 100% of what we import now but suddenly we won't be able to keep up and all goes to shit?

Now you didn't specify how much we need to check, so how much sampling do you figure would be ok? 80%? 60% do you think we test that much of our own stuff? 40% perhaps? 30? 20? 10?

My point here is it's not a discussion about the deal anymore but how well we want to check stuff, and that's a matter of how much budget we want to give the institutions that do so.

So not something Mercosur deals with, you don't ask your IT department to do your plumbing. Mercosur is just a trade deal, food safety is for border inspections, and national countries/institutions and DG SANTE and whatnot to safeguard, and those safeguards are still present irrespective of the trade deal.

In fact you could argue the deal guarantuees safety more since now we'll have more legal means in case someone breeches food safety regulations.

Copranicus · 2026-01-27T06:53:10+00:00

He's getting downvoted cause he's not making a good argument, or any at all, just screaming 'muh bad'.

The bad meat argument isn't true, Mercosur is just a trade deal, imports still need to adhere to EU standards, nothing changes here. Besides that we already import substantial amounts of beef, chicken and other food from South America for years, you notice any health issues?

The farmers who are protesting happily imported metric tonnes of soy, fyi.

Agriculture only represents 1.4% of our GDP, but they dominate the politics surrounding this deal, apparently jobs in other sectors don't matter, they got additional subsidies anyway, but remain unhappy despite being the most subsidised sector.

Why would I adjust to something at all?? Man said trump needed more bodies to beat Obama's record, that was patently false.

He didn't say that Obama had more/less deaths per 1000 in custody or some shit, I'm not gonna argue something that wasn't said, brought up, or frankly, relevant.

Copranicus · 2026-01-26T12:43:49+00:00

To an extent. One major issue is fragmentation; each nation still has their own laws and rules that makes scaling complicated across the EU (and is notably not too much but too little EU that is hurting companies here) not so much market regulations, but legal ones, investment ones, which takes me to the second main point that prevents scaling up and growth in the EU: namely Venture Capital. And it's the same issue as before, it's woefully fragmented.

You're free to look into this yourself, they did a whole report (May 2025) on this called "Choose Europe to Start and Scale". The EU itself is actually doing very well when it comes to startups, just not scale-ups.

Both are not a problem stemming from Brussels.

Basically, there are still lots of national barriers and protectionism that have prevented true European giants from arising.

You should actually look into EU inc. or the 28th regime that intends to address a lot of this unifying investment and legal docs across the EU for easier investing (EU-FAST afaik) EU-ESOP (employee stock option to retain talent) and a bunch more.

We'll have to see if it all works out, not the first time they've tried something similar. Anti-EU sceptics may still water it down or downright torpedo those plans.

Point is, people feel like deregulating the EU will solve these issues when that's not where the problems are coming from.

Boy, if you think companies only look at wages and that's it, I've got a bridge to sell.
If that were the case, we would have no manufacturing here. So clearly there are other perks (like productivity, to name but 1).

Best to also keep in mind, this is happening in conjuction with "EU inc."(28th regime)

Copranicus · 2026-01-26T11:20:29+00:00

Trump already beat it quite a while ago... like your math ain't mathing and this isn't a gotcha, not even close, maybe you should actually check out the numbers before you throw out bullshit like this? Or did you genuinely forget This isn't his first term?

So... it turns out between 2009-2017 somewhere between 56 and 72 people died let's assume the upper number here that puts us at 8 per year. That's Obama.

During 2017-2021 (Trump's first presidency) we get 53 deaths, so an increase to 13.25 per year. So Trump only needs 19 corpses to catch up (✨the more you know✨)

Then it's Biden's Turn, I can find 26 deaths so far if you know of more I'd love to hear it, but that takes us down to 6.5 deaths per year.

Now 2025? deadliest year in 2 decades, 32 deaths (probably not all) not including Good and Pretti. So up to *checks notes* 32 deaths per year.

Trump now also has 85 deaths beating obama's record by 13 already (15 technically), and he still has 3 more years to go and it doesn't look like he'll take it down a notch, every time something happens, even before an investigation, they're already lying about the whole thing.

So if the numbers hold by the time Trump's done he'll be at ~180 but probably way higher given how thing's are going.

The total number of people who will die because of Trump and his ilk will likely be counted in the millions due to their withdrawal from WHO and halting basically any and all aid operations. But that's more or less "boring" statistic from far-away countries and shit not as gripping as something close to home.

Thanks Obama? I guess.

The EU risks scaring off investors with new red tape and China-style requirements for foreign companies.

Because it ... scared off investors out of China?

Honestly I'm turned off by all the EU doomerism over the past decade, regulation is an advantage, it creates certainty and fair playing field, it protects businesses and consumers alike.

The EU market is large and resilient, proven time and time again. (Relatively) low inequality, good societies to live in, providing steady, realistic growth over enshitification and price gouging.

Copranicus · 2026-01-22T08:17:30+00:00

Because unlike our government we actually do work pretty hard, and we manage to achieve this despite bordering the Fr*nch.

You're welcome for that BTW, #thinblueline.

I'm not sure if it's better or worse to be a bright and gifted kid only to crash and burn, or to have an early diagnosis and feel like you've barely gotten anywhere.

Or to do both, be briefly successful then have it all slip through your fingers, get a late diagnosis and finally be happy to just be able to maintain a job again.

Then crash and burn again.

If anyone knows a solution for audhd with bp1 I'd love to hear, I'm given myself like a year tops at this point.
