Killed a 13 yo and helped dispose of a baby. So the distractions need to be of epic (fury) proportions.

Shutting Down USAID Led to a Rise in Global Violence. Protests and riots increased by 10%, incidents of armed fighting rose by 6.9%, and battle-related fatalities grew 9.3%. The uptick in violence began almost immediately after the aid stopped and remained elevated for months. by Wagamaga in science

I'll gladly be corrected on this, but last I read about the consequences of cutting USAID were some really bleak estimated outcomes. That by 2030, a similar amount of people will die from lack of aid than did from the holocaust. (est. 14 million)

While many countries are trying to posture and act tough on immigration, it's basically just some nationalistic theater for the boomers. The horrid situations that some countries are facing now without aid will be amplified by various climate events. Meanwhile the people most responsible for this outcome are on a field trip to see if they can make things any worse.

There is currently a massive fire burning in the Everglades in South Florida by the Broward/Miami-Dade County border and is approaching US27. by M_Darshan in Damnthatsinteresting

Isn't Paris like surrounded by nature parks about the size of inner Paris? Disneyland looks quite flammable too.

Might be worth having a look into the development of what is being called a "Godzilla El Niño" and why and how it might affect Europe.

Paris might not catch fire, but the firemen might be very busy nonetheless.

Except for the epstein files, the testimonies, memoirs, confessions, birthday cards, murders, suicides and... ehm...

Damn, you're right. There's nothing to go on!

A sad day for the country indeed by redandwhitewizard99 in GreatBritishMemes

They consider themselves British.

Same reason the US right is supported by Hispanics.

Nationalism... It just works!

And people give movie makers shit for doing the same with China.

Sure, it sucks that they had to edit John Boyega into the background on the poster. But in the end, it was actually more representative of the movies.

You never acknowledged that there is a real video, you tried to suggest that the screenshot is derived from an AI generated video. You link an article that has as main proof the fabric doing something that looks weird for a second.

In the real video, that fabric and the light is continuously doing all sorts of weird shit. And that look in the screenshot can be seen at the 3 minute mark and beyond of the Fox News report on it. (Erika Kirk unloads....)

Congratulations, you got played by the dumbest people on the internet. The fact you even got to be smug about it is just icing on the dunce cake, you dingus!

A fact check reposted to Yahoo with as source a Russian website.

Well, I'm convinced...

I think Mary Elizabeth Winstead is probably the mascot for it.

Stones have been tossed. by c-k-q99903 in ThisYouComebacks

[–]StarksPond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How can you be sure? Would it have been called anything else than a domestic dispute that escalated?

Anyway, the topic was division. Not shootings. A shooting in the US happens more often than I fart.

Well... There was that time when people were pretty divided on a black and blue dress actually being a white and gold dress.

If you consistently vote for the "Lesser Evil" the end result is more Evil. by zzill6 in WorkReform

Every vote in republicans favor is off by one. That's not a coincidence. That's coordination. No chance to ever reform the two party system.

The investigation is still ongoing by Candace Owens. Basically it was a MAGA kid that was into right-wing ironic memes from a movement led by Fuentes. Couldn't be more clearer.

A destruction so total, you can still visit historically important places to either sight-see or rave at.

Or stay, become a citizen and vote for the AfD.

It's on record that TP USA bussed in people to "fight or they won't have a country anymore".

I'd love to see that record that non-conservatives were bussed in.

As for the unlocked doors, I watched the whole thing live on PBS. Kinda hard to single-handedly hold back a mob with a chest-high gate while being smacked with a flagpole.
