  • Oh man it’s pretty bad. Heads for the hip bone first and then climbs it’s way up your spinal column and into your ribs. The space between your skin and ribs basically turns into sandpaper and it just eats away at your nerve bundles within your spinal cord. All the while it’ll build this extracellular material that basically acts as a wall to prevent cancer treatments and pain medication from getting in.

    And in all of this the cancer is using the damage it’s causing to healthy cells to feed itself. It’s really high up there in incredibly painful ways to die. Makes up less than 1% of all prostate cancers, but has to be the most shit lotto to win.






  • Why are all these politicians so interested in Crypto?

    One can only wonder.

    Analysis shows that a wallet linked to the token’s deployer removed approximately $2.43 million in USDC liquidity shortly after the peak.

    Yeah so this is classic rug pull. Hype, get it into retail, have automated buy in, pull liquidity. Maybe put it back a bit and pocket the fees for retail going crazy.

    I read somewhere on here someone say “people wouldn’t have enough time to get scammed.” A lot of this is all bots buying, including small time players who are just using something like Freqtrade python scripts for buying and selling. No one is doing actual research, they’re just a program watching microtransactions. Thirty minutes is eternity.

    But yeah, this is exactly why you see so many bros so strong on this and why politicians and Governments are getting into it. The early days are like the early days of completely unregulated stock markets. It’s cash grabs everywhere. Down the road, there’s going to be this moment of ladder pulling to “keep everyone safe”.


  • The Soviet Union isn’t actively moving a part of it’s nuclear arsenal to the island.

    The entire aspect of the crisis was weapons that could actually reach mainland US.

    At the moment, no one who borders the Gulf of Mexico has weaponry that could reach say Miami or say Texas City a more strategic point.

    So there’s a sense of security by distance in the United States. Now the thing is, this whole thing changes the second any one of these nations procure a medium range weapon. That was the missile crisis. The US found out the USSR was trying to send long range missiles that could strike deep inside US territory.

    The same would be true here. The second any of these nations obtain a missile that can hit the US the whole calculus changes.

    Can you imagine? “Oh yeah, we invaded Venezuela but they have the ability to start blowing up condos from their own nation.” People would be a whole lot more upset than they are currently.





  • This is a few counties over from where I’m at, but the biggest thing was Channel 5 News did an interview with the Sheriff and he basically admitted on air that the guy wasn’t guilty.

    Like I can not stress how much the State’s county DA and Sheriff have fumbled this case and basically handed this guy a blank check.

    And the thing is, while a majority of folks were okay at one point for punishing guy over his meme, the county has all but replaced all that with disgust how how terrible the cops have handled this.

    Like they’re still upset about the meme, but nowhere near as upset with how self destructive the Sheriff’s department has been.





  • Your example is people randomly sharing information. That is not the same as a Government entity after following the process outlined in the law, releasing information related to that Government action. We know who is awarded contracts, we know where tax payer money is going to, and so on because of disclosure requirements by Government entities.

    When an elected entity has acted in a manner accordance to law, that action ought to reasonably disclose the subject of that action. That’s not to say 100% it always must be this way, but this is why we allow the public to comment on changes to those disclosure requirements.

    I would like for you to understand, there’s a very fundamental difference between “random people” and “people via a method given power to rule over other people.” That fundamental difference between the two is key to the point here.
