Shockingly the CPI (customer prices index) has risen again to 3%, nobody in the country could've predicted this happening.
Of course, this doesn't mean much of anything when prices seem to be entirely arbitrary, as seen by this monstrosity
Alongside non-existent wage growth
Results entirely in the obvious choice to get out of this country as fast as I can. But the next vote will fix things surely.

I was considering an effort post on DRC as it's a good example of what's happening with daddies foreign policy. Can't be bothered to do an effort post today but some potential mining sites in this as it develops.
Rwanda have had a slow burning war with DRC since the 90's but the France and the US have largely kept them in check. They can quietly support their little separatist group as long as they don't try and expand the conflict beyond the eastern province they are in and they mostly ignore the war crimes. Rwanda has been using DRC resources to fuel their growth and want more.
DRC is much larger than Rwanda but it's been a failed state since the 90's and while some form of government has existed since 2005 it's limited to the West and South of the country and is very weak. Rwanda have relatively modern, for Africa, armed forces, and all the gibs they got post-genocide mean they have good infrastructure for that part of the world. Rwanda have also had the same president for 25 years who keeps "winning" with 90%+ of the vote.
When the US eyes went away the guerillas in DRC suddenly had tanks and helicopters. A couple of weeks later when no one did anything there were suddenly a whole bunch of Rwandan troops in the country and they easily took the largest city in the east. They have stated they intend to keep moving West and "liberate" the entire country.
In terms of natural resource value DRC is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. It's so profoundly undeveloped, has problematic geography and terrible security that no one has been willing to take it on.
Most of the time offers like this would be absurd but this is the type of "deal" Trump loves. Hopefully he restarts the Belgian mining practices and cuts childrens hands off.

its gone up for auction twice and each time hasnt met the "unknown" price reserve
The Little Black Book is said to contain the names and contact information of many high-profile individuals in fields including finance, manufacturing, real estate, film, television, and more.
"The entries are printed reproductions, likely reduced in size to accommodate this rather small binding. There are 386 printed entries with two additional entries penned in a childlike hand on the last page, very similar to Epstein's hand but the sample is too small for us to warrant this as fact. They vary in length from only a few lines to over 10-15 lines or more each, and each of these entries may have several more names included within," an excerpt from the book's auction webpage reads.
According to Alexander Historical Auctions, 94 names in the book have black handwritten checkmarks beside them, and five names of "well-recognized financial and industrial figures" are highlighted.

We are struggling though and need help. The doctor keeps insisting our baby is a girl but everytime we ask they/them they gurgles or cries.
How do we inform the doctor they/them hasn't chosen thems gender yet?

reminder that a random no name company "accidentally" leaked every single American SSN to the dark web and
hardly talked about it and no one went to jail/got fined. The SSN is literally worthless now especially if ur young

vincent draws his match with magnus, meaning.......bozo magnus is out, from his own tournament
was busy so havent looked at his postmatch whines
hikaru fails to win and gukesh refuses to win. after 3 draws, their 2nd tiebreaker is going on
edit: gukesh is victorious, in their bid to not win a match. (he lost if you are neurodivergent)
back to the main highlight, world no 2 caruana vs no. 31 sindarov
neighbor caruana accepts draw in a totally winning position and when i say total, totally. -5.3 on the eval bar winning. maybe the reason was he had a min on the clock and sindarov had whopping 24. whatever is the uzbeck version of voodoo, its working
they then had a nailbiting tiebreaker - that was a draw too and are currently playing their 2nd one. sindy will win it!

MISSION, Kan. (AP) β An 86-year-old Missouri man has died just days after pleading guilty to a lesser charge in the 2023 shooting of Ralph Yarl, a Black honor student who rang the white man's doorbell by mistake, prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Yarl testified at a hearing that he rang the bell and then waited for someone to answer for what seemed "longer than normal." As the inner door opened, Yarl said, he reached out to grab the storm door, assuming he was at his brothers' friends' parents.
He said Lester shot him in the head and uttered, "Don't come here ever again." Although the bullet didn't penetrate Yarl's brain, the impact knocked him to the ground. Yarl said Lester then shot him in the arm. The teen was taken to the hospital and released three days later.
Imagine the terror if a Texas A&M student showed up at your door uninvited.
I love sucking peepee and seeing racist old Missourians die. Kill all Missourians, knockkers forever.

The truth is, if your posts are no different than the average redditors', in what sense is it a bait post? "hey I posted 'what do you think about Trump' on /r/askreddit and people are responding! "
All that exists is text you can't say you "baited" them by secretly hating them in you're minds
"How are you doing today man?
'fine, how bout you?'
okay @SParousiAL guess (hehehe baited)"
That's called earnest engagement you rslurs.
and I think @TouchFluffyTails brilliantly satirizes that.
Bravo
White extinction is long overdue

Huge time investment, by the way.
It's a huge time investment you have to invest the time.
Technical.
Technicals.
It's technical. Technique. Technical technique technicals.
You have to invest the time, invest huge time, to learn the technical technique.

I don't know who else to tell about this but I feel the need to tell someone. For reference I'm a 25 year old guy who hasn't shit himself since he was a kid. Anyway I got up this morning as usual, left the house to go to work and as I was approaching the train I felt the sudden urge to shit. I searched around for a cafe or something with a bathroom I could use but couldn't find anything. It happened in that moment of complete defeat. For a split second I thought I was farting, but no. Naturally I ran home as fast as I could, trying to hold my pants up as much as I could for fear of the shit (diarrhea) dripping further down my legs, and washed up, washed as much off of my butt, pants, thermal underwear, underwear and sweatpants I was wearing under my regular pants to protect myself from this horrible NYC cold. I texted my boss saying I "had a problem at home" and was gonna be about 45 min late. I put all my dirty clothes in a trash bag and will do laundry when I get home tonight.
I kinda need help coming up with an excuse for being late. I don't really know what to say and I do not want to tell them what actually happened.
how bad is your diet if you shit yourself as an adult
