Nah, the loss is on stupid Americans. No matter her position on these issues, it should have been a landslide victory for anyone but Trump.

It’s a captive bolt pistol, or cattle gun. It’s what they use in slaughter houses to stun animals before killing them.

In commercial operations, rates of failure can be significant and multiple shots are often used. One study looking at cattle found that 12% were shot multiple times, and 12.5% were inadequately stunned. Other research has recorded higher error rates, such as a study looking at young kangaroos and finding that 38% failed to be stunned.

Ahhh, the meat industry. Isn’t it beautiful…

For decades, the Justice Department has dispersed election monitors across the country to observe procedures in polling sites and at places where ballots are counted. That was a power granted to the federal government under the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices and sought to equalize voting access. After the U.S. Supreme Court gutted parts of the law years ago, the agency now must get permission from state and local jurisdictions to be present or get a court order.

The Post’s withheld endorsement was seen as another example of tech executives and billionaires preparing for a potential second Trump administration. Meta’s (META+0.38%) Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, and Google (GOOGL+0.58%) CEO Sundar Pichai have all reportedly spoken with Trump in recent weeks or months.

Fucking pathetic. Groveling at the feet of Trump.

Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute. That’s a common misconception.

The portrayal of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute began in 591, when Pope Gregory I identified Mary Magdalene, who was introduced in Luke 8:2, with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:39) and the unnamed “sinful woman” who anointed Jesus’s feet in Luke 7:36–50.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Magdalene

But Jesus was most certainly very accepting of people from all walks of life. That was like his whole purpose. So the other comment about him rejecting people from the community is dead wrong. If anything, people reproached him because he was too accepting of the “sinners”.

This is incorrect. This is not a healed scar at all. That’s a very fresh burn wound exposing the flesh underneath without the melanin layer.

You can literally see the wound is fresh and is peeling off. Not a healed scar.

Go look up healed burn scars on black skin. The images can be pretty gruesome, but the melanin mostly returns.

No, it’s not at all. This is total nonsense. If anything, superheroes are usually persecuted by the government.

Spider-Man specifically is literally an outlaw.

And look at the X-Men. Half the time the gov wants to wipe mutants out.

Maybe you can say that about Captain America, but he was created to defeat the Nazis. So yeah, who the fuck is not on the government side in this situation?

And when the gov became corrupt, Captain America became an outlaw.

So whoever is upvoting this and whoever created this doesn’t know much about Marvel or comics.

I mean I don’t know that much, but I know the bare minimum to know this is nonsense.

If I remember correctly, he does talk about his drug use in that book. He even talks about drinking mouthwash at one point because he was that much of an alcoholic.

He said that, on the fateful day, he was far from Central Park — on his way to a “falconing” excursion in Goshen, N.Y. — when he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear. He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.

Wtf??

Hours passed, Kennedy said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people he was with — he said the others had been drinking — came up with a plan: abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.

Wtf… why? Is that what rich people do to pass the time? I could imagine a bunch of drunk college frat dudes doing this, but he was 60 years old when this happened!

Elon Musk is not spending $45 million a month to elect former President Donald Trump, though he has created a new super political action committee (PAC) to fund the Republican candidate, the billionaire told conservative commentator Jordan Peterson during an interview Monday evening.

What a bullshit headline. It’s literally the first line of the article.

So he is spending money to fund Trump. He’s just going through a super PAC because he can’t legally straight up give Trump 45 million.

He probably talked to his lawyers and they told him to correct himself.

I get what you’re saying, but let’s chill out on the infantilization of women.

A 20-something-year-old woman doesn’t compare to a 12-year-old.

And maybe the 20-something-year-old woman hitting on you just wants to have fun and is not thinking about anything working out with you. Presume much?

Yeah, but you still have a 99.999…% chance of not getting your dick amputated on any given day as a Brazilian.

It’s still a minuscule chance of getting your dick amputated due to penile cancer. Penile cancer itself is extremely rare. Less than 0.01% chance.

“NewsBreak”, a free app with roots in China that is the most downloaded news app in the United States.

Never heard of it. Hard to believe it’s the most downloaded news app. I guess I’m out of touch.

Only the vampire bats. And they only live in Central and South America. Although bats do carry diseases.

Turning 43 this year if you take the common 1981 as the cut-off.

Good read.

They need something like this for colonoscopies.

If there was a way to test it at home, I’m sure a lot less people would die from colorectal cancer.

She “made it” by marrying a billionaire co-founder of Google. Then cheated on him with Elon Musk. Her husband then divorced her because of it and…

Shanahan and Brin had signed a prenuptial agreement. During the divorce proceedings, Shanahan’s attorneys argued that she had signed the prenuptial agreement under duress, and in mediation sought more than $1 billion of Brin’s $95 billion fortune. The divorce was finalized in 2023 in a confidential arbitration. Forbes reported that Shanahan likely received around 2.6 million Alphabet Class B shares from Brin, worth $390 million in March 2024, and possibly received an additional, equal amount of Class C shares.

Yeah, she really represents the American Dream.
