That coupled with the drastic reduction in opiate scripts helps. The hardcore have died or are finding treatment, the interested are finding little supply to start the habit, it’s all around a good thing to have fewer opiate painkillers in use. They absolutely have a place in society but that place should be “everywhere”.

Outside of a passing similarity to Pokemon, I wonder what the suit is about

Clearly we need better worker protections because 60% of that crowd has dain bramage.

My brother in Christ, werewolves existed for at least 150 years and shape shifting goes back hundreds more. A beast that becomes a person… What could that possibly be for? A person becoming a beast is easy and the not weird part of folk history that didn’t upset any kind of established morals. Violence is a part of life. Hot wolf dick that escapes into the night after making sweaty sheets? More difficult to keep as an oral tradition. Well, in stories at least.

The exploding walkie talkies as the follow up was really too much.

Oh, China is covering up an ancient civilization, eh? Like the ancient CHINESE?! The yellow river valley peoples are very well documented. The real scoop Jimmy missed is the huge range of their artifacts that have been found. From Syria to the Yellow Sea, their pottery and bronze work has been found across Asia, showing how people from 2000 years before the pyramids of Egypt, the silk road was already moving goods across the biggest landmass on earth, on foot, peacefully. Egyptian pyramids are so fucking dumb - they are single use tombs for the incredibly narcissistic. Conspiracy nuts love them because they’re equally narcissistic and think they would be worth a pyramid in that distant time.

Someone heard Trump and thought, “I bet that guy can carry a note.” That’s terrorism.

The most relevant part is at the very bottom of the article:

There have been reports in recent months of small explosions across the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), where Cologne is located, due to gang-related activity.

In the Netherlands, setting off small explosions outside buildings is a common intimidation tactic for some drug traffickers. NRW borders the Netherlands and is on the obvious route from there to central and eastern Europe, as well as the rest of Germany.

Death breathers are made of electric thinking meat. Life is fucking rad.

Ah, sounds like that traffic stop started with, “Do you know who I am?”

Sounds like a case-less sausage.

What did you find?

Even when I watch something there is a game open in my hands or on another screen.

First bears, now whales. I’m beginning to believe this fucker did eat that dog.

What’s even out there? Dirty water? The same minerals that can be found on earth, just impossibly far and difficult to get?

What does that $5B get you for the trouble? Legislation for space crews, space work, and probably some rare medals like iridium or platinum. What’s most likely expected is weird grade silica and some ferrous metal we already have access to here in decent amounts. It’s not worth it.

The dinosaur headed snake is a nice addition.

I heard that guy eats shit for breakfast.

No hate quite like Christian love.

Those nacelles look right on that plane. It’s destined to never be obsolete.

After seeing Perun’s video on how the Russian war economy is actually doing well, with the biggest limitation being a lack of bodies to fulfill all the jobs, it seems Putin stumbled into a probable stable future built on using human bodies as fuel for his money machine. There may come a point where Ukraine quits the fight, regardless of the outcome, and Russia’s economy collapses.
