Tbf most folks these days have so many nasty chemicals in them from medication and “food™” that I would be very hesitant say anyone would make good fertilizer. Hell one of the factors that contributed to coastal sharks in certain parts having detectable levels of cocaine was contamination from human waste (article about cocaine sharks).
Good, mercenaries are human garbage.
Here we go again. Get your N95 masks and bidet now while there’s no surge pricing and limited supplies.
Even the peaceful mode is a pain in the ass. If you go too slow, you can run out of resources before expanding territories or even end up trading too much at the flooded market price due to not micromanaging the traders, leaving you with too little gold to even expand your village buildings.
Very rough ‘game.’
I genuinely hope something happens to those fuck stains now that we know their faces. Fascists deserve death.
“Butt fuck Egypt (BFE),” when referring to being in the middle of nowhere or the far edges of a parking area. For example, Sally complained to her friend in the food court, “I had to park all the way in BFE. I’m dreading the walk back to the car.”
Here’s to hoping it’s just saber-rattling to remind the feds how important it is to the nation. CA standards benefit way more than just CA residents; i.e. giving other states framework to adopt similar legislation (like emission standards) or even HR practices. Anecdotally, I worked for a CA based company at an east coast office; when they laid a portion of the workforce off, they paid severance to all affected even though many of us were in ‘right to work’ states.
The article is not all doom and gloom though!
He notes that most of these factors are linked to impulsivity — which can be treated. “These factors – virtually all of them can be changed,” Barkley says. “Change the factor [and] you change the life expectancy. So none of this is cast in stone.”
And later in the article a pediatric neurology professor underscores what most of us (hopefully) know; it takes a combo of medication AND therapy to get proper treatment (I feel for those still getting either of those sorted, it’s rough out there).
Tldr; The domestic terrorist was already a felon pre-Jan 6, and was arrested for possessing firearms as a felon.
A prime example of the type of being he is:
He had at least three previous felony convictions — one dating back to 2017 for domestic violence battery by strangulation and two in October of 2021
I’ll keep this civil. NO. ONE. CARES. You deserve ALL the consequences that came from your involvement. You should be happy that you didn’t get the Rosenburg treatment even though every Jan. 6 Terrorist deserved it.
I’ll leave this here:
Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death, or not less than five years’ imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.

I would definitely recommend reading the full article. There’s all kinds of hilarious tidbits. Like that the Cooler Screens ceo Arsen Avakian’s leadership seems to be rather fiscally disastrous wherever he goes. Or my favorite bit:
Avakian discussed the concept that would become Cooler Screens with friends in Chicago business circles, including Wasson [co-founder of Cooler Screens]. As head of Walgreens from 2009 to 2015, Wasson is most remembered for overseeing its fraught international merger with Alliance Boots, a European chain. But he also bet on technology, gussying up its pharmacies with tablets, acquiring e-tailer Drugstore.com and leading the company’s $140 million investment in a then-promising startup called Theranos. (Oops.)
Jeepers fucking creepers, you would think that Walgreens/ big corporations in general would do some kind of background investigation or get a PI to find out if they have any skeletons in their closets that would prove fiscally harmful if entered into an agreement. Their total lack of operational security and basically saying ‘Yes, Daddy, please?’ when presented with an opportunity from the same guy that dragged the company into the whole Theranos debacle is flabbergasting.
Wasson set up a demo meeting with billionaire Stefano Pessina, Walgreens’ largest shareholder and his successor as CEO, with whom he remained friendly after departing the pharmacy chain. “‘We’re not tech guys,’” Avakian remembers the Walgreens team saying. “‘Prove it to us.’” He and Wasson say that based on their PowerPoint presentation, the company approved a six-store pilot program for 2018.
A fucking POWERPOINT is all it took even after Theranos to convince them of this boondoggle.
I very much imagine it would be. It’s the same as when they put ‘gluten free’ on ridiculous stuff like raw meat, packaged raw vegetables, raw nuts, and the list goes on…
He’s perhaps most known locally for founding the nonprofit Common Ground in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Common Ground and its health clinic served a half a million Katrina survivors in its first year. In 2019, Rahim received a Living Legend award from the Southern University of New Orleans honoring his work. In a box near his couch sits a framed Lifetime President’s Volunteer Service Award, recently received from President Biden.
For years, Rahim had suspected—but never been able to prove—that the FBI had targeted him. Now, government documents showed that he was correct.
Documents obtained last year by The Nation show that in August 2006, a year after Katrina, the New Orleans Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), a federal-police amalgamation led by the FBI, began conducting a “threat assessment” of Malik Rahim and Common Ground for “possible nefarious Domestic Terrorism or Anarchist activities.”
The JTTF’s report claimed that Common Ground was distributing “propaganda” and “anti-government posters.” Under a section titled “Intelligence Gaps,” the JTTF posed several questions, like: “Is Common Ground planning any terrorist attacks against Louisiana government facilities?,” and, “What anarchist groups and gangs, besides the New Black Panther party, is the Common Ground Collective recruiting from?” It ends with a request for the JTTF to conduct an investigation into Common Ground.
Perfect example of the inherent racism built into the US system; one of the former Black Panthers they interviewed is the definition of a good samaritan that stepped up for his community in ways the government didn’t, yet they had the audacity to try and claim he was helping people to recruit new Black Panther members?! Yet actual American terrorists on Jan 7, 2021 have been treated with kid gloves in comparison since they were mostly white.
Fancy thing that aquifer in the southeast US. Who wouldve guessed pumping out more than can be replaced would cause sinkholes to get worse and cause environmental and building suitability issues? Smh at the lack of forsight
That’s just salaried folks though. The vast majority of american workers are hourly or contractors. Per the Dept of Labor’s own site:
The Wage and Hour Division is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the welfare of the nation’s workforce with a focus on low-wage, underserved workers. In fiscal year 2023, we successfully recovered over $274 million in back wages and damages for more than 163,000 workers nationwide.
Wage theft is when employers don’t properly pay their employees and is a HUGE problem because it isn’t always out of malevolence, it can be as simple as the time clock not properly computing overtime, etc.
If you don’t think that $274 million is large amount, think about how the vast majority of these things never get reported to the authorities; that number should be higher.

This, I’ve known people who got knocks on their door by the FBI and SS for posting dumb shit they weren’t serious about as a “joke.” They take that shit seriously I guess only when its lone wolves that can’t do as much damage and not people rich enough to fund a small army.
Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned, but Electric Vehicles in general. I remember wishing for them to be a thing when I used to drive my family’s gas-guzzling vehicles. If you look outside of Tesla, there are plenty of options even affordable ones, it might Leaf you in disbelief.
Don’t do it. Can wholeheartedly say fuck startups, especially if you’re not an expert in your field.
YMMV but they’ve been an extreme version of the horrible crap that goes on in corpos; ex layoffs because why keep your senior devs when someone newer is much cheaper and the company only has a few millions untill next round of funding.
I legit “joke” about how I wish extraterrestrials would show up so the world could get its shit together on a regular basis. Glad to see I’m not alone in my cynicism about our species.
Fuck you Biden:
Asshole knew what was coming and still awarded a contract to a contracting company with KNOWN human rights abuses against victims/detainees.
