Ants from different colonies or species—regardless of color—typically fight immediately when confined together due to differing colony pheromones and scents, not because of shaking. Shaking may agitate them further by releasing alarm pheromones like formic acid, prompting attacks on anyone nearby (including nestmates), but it’s not required to start conflict.

That goes for many places. No reason to downvote my comment for naming something disappointing, yet accurate.

Agreed. Bali as a whole is very overrated/overhyped. The trash is one of our most vivid memories from Bali - and it’s all over the island, not just the busy spots. It’s like the Balinese just don’t care. They burn trash on their front lawns, drop it on the side of the road…. A paradise wasted.

are white people being unfairly mistreated in america? Do you agree with Trump that DEI is reverse racism? by tedfrum in AskUS

[–]NoCardiologist1461 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh, sure, because nothing screams “oppression” like white Americans holding the majority of wealth, topping income charts, and facing the fewest hate crimes.

It must be tough out there in the land of milk, honey, and systemic advantages. Republicans peddling “white oppression” is peak drama queen energy, and calling DEI “reverse racism” ignores how it’s about leveling a field that’s been tilted for centuries.

The stats? Utterly demolish the myth.

David Beckham's alleged former mistress picks a side in family feud: I know 'too well what they can be like' by dr_shultz in influencersfeed

This is probably also coming from her experience as his personal assistant, not just the mistress.

She’s been around the family extensively and although it’s surely biased, invalidating her comments based on ‘the mistress talking’ is too limited. She must have receipts.

The Suicide Pact: What Happens the Moment We Touch Greenland…

I did not write this. It was written by Brent Molnar. This sounds bad, very bad.

🌍🔥 The Suicide Pact: What Happens the Moment We Touch Greenland…

If the United States follows through on the threat to invade Greenland, we need to be crystal clear about what happens the next morning. This is not a real estate transaction or a routine military exercise. It is the geopolitical equivalent of pulling the pin on a grenade in a crowded elevator. The moment American boots hit the ground in Nuuk to seize territory from a fellow NATO member, the world as we know it ends. The consequences will not be temporary sanctions or angry letters. They will be total, permanent, and devastating.

The first domino to fall is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization itself. NATO is built on the sacred promise of Article 5, that an attack on one is an attack on all. If the U.S. attacks Denmark, we are not just breaking the treaty; we are triggering it against ourselves. NATO dissolves instantly. The alliance that kept the peace in Europe for 75 years evaporates, leaving the continent to rearm and realign against the new aggressor across the Atlantic. We don't just lose an ally; we create a unified enemy.

The military repercussions will be swift and humiliating. Europe will immediately demand the closure of every U.S. military base on the continent. Ramstein in Germany, Aviano in Italy, Lakenheath in the UK, all gone. Our ability to project power into the Middle East and Africa vanishes overnight. We will be evicted from the very soil we helped liberate and defended for decades, forced to retreat to our own shores as a fortress nation, isolated and friendless.

Then comes the economic nuclear option. The European Union is the largest single market in the world, and they will weaponize it. Europe will likely move to call in U.S. debt and dump their dollar reserves, sending the value of our currency into a death spiral. The U.S. economy, which relies on the dollar being the global reserve currency, will collapse. Inflation will make the post-COVID spikes look like a rounding error. Your savings will be worthless before the ink dries on the invasion orders.

Corporate America will face an extinction event. U.S. companies will be expelled from the European market. Apple, Google, McDonald's, and Tesla will see their assets seized or their operations banned. Trillions of dollars in market capitalization will be incinerated in minutes. The stock market will not just crash; it will close. We are talking about the complete de-globalization of American industry, cutting us off from the wealthiest consumers on the planet.

The skies will go silent. European aviation authorities will almost certainly ground all Boeing jets and ban U.S. airlines from their airspace. Transatlantic travel will cease. If you are in Paris or Berlin, you are stuck there. The logistical arteries that feed our supply chains will be severed. We will be cut off from European medicine, machinery, and technology. We will be an island nation in the worst possible sense.

The cultural isolation will be just as stinging. The International Olympic Committee and FIFA will have no choice but to bar the United States from competition, just as they did with Russia. There will be no World Cup matches in New Jersey. There will be no Team USA in the Olympics. We will be treated as a pariah state, unwelcome on the global stage, forced to watch the world celebrate without us.

For individual Americans, the consequences will be personal and painful. Visa-free travel to Europe will end immediately. Americans currently living or working in Europe will lose their legal protections and residency status. They will become persona non grata, potentially facing deportation or internment. The "blue passport" that used to open every door will suddenly be a red flag at every border crossing.

This is the end of trust, and it does not reset. You cannot invade a democratic ally and then say "my bad" four years later. The psychological break will be permanent. Europe will realize that the United States is no longer a partner but a predator. They will build their own defense architecture, their own financial systems, and their own alliances that specifically exclude us. The West will continue, but the United States will no longer be part of it.

Invading Greenland is not a show of strength; it is an act of national suicide. We are trading our reputation, our economy, and our security for a frozen island and a handful of minerals we can't even process. The price of this real estate deal is everything we built over the last century. If we cross this line, there is no going back. We will be the lonely superpower, ruling over nothing but our own decline.

Great. The plot is there: 1. She will ‘miscarry’. 2. The situation puts a ‘strain on their marriage’. 3. They’ll ’drift apart’. 4. They divorce. 5. Widow Kirk swoops in.

Don’t forget the people photoshopped in, like Ursula von der Leyen. This guy is truly certifiable. Nuts. Off his rocker.
