The situation on RTX 50 launch day looks dire. It seems that the few people who manage to find the cards in stock online will either be powered by fast AI algorithms or simply lucky to be near retailer servers.

We previously reported on the RTX 50 launch day lottery in Japan. The country is known for such draws, which, in order to prevent scalping, give everyone in line an equal chance to purchase limited-supply products. Only those whose tickets are chosen will be allowed to buy the product. While it's hard to call that a win, at least some participants don't leave empty-handed.

According to Japanese media, one of the lotteries at PC Koubou, which started earlier (around 15:00 local time), ended in chaos. People were seen climbing over the fence of a nearby kindergarten, and screams were heard. There's also a photo of a destroyed kingergarten sign (added above). The lottery concluded before many attendees even arrived, leading to frustration and disorder at the venue.

The PC Koubou Parts Hall has started calling for entries for a lottery to purchase the RTX5090, but the situation is currently in chaos.

Angry shouts were heard, and some people even climbed over the fence of the kindergarten next door.

@sarasteam0151 (translation)

Swedish retailer Inet confirms there may not be any RTX 5090 stock at launch. It seems they are waiting for an update from their courier company. Even if any 5090 units arrive, the retailer expects them to sell out immediately. The 5080, on the other hand, should sell "quickly."

According to a Redditor who compiled a list of MicroCenter locations and their expected RTX 5090/5080 stock, only 233 RTX 5090 cards were distributed across all stores in the U.S. Similarly, only 2,393 RTX 5080 models were allocated. This is an extremely low number of cards for launch day, though it's important to note that we cannot verify the accuracy of this list.

However, Tustin, California, appears to be one of the few locations where lining up might make sense. The queue is already over 300 people long show messages shared on Reddit, meaning that if the numbers above are correct, the last people in line won't even have a chance to buy a card.

While it's great to see such high demand for new graphics cards, it's difficult to understand why NVIDIA did not prepare a larger stock for launch. The company was not forced to release the cards this early, and there is clearly a significant supply issue. Nothing would have changed if the launch had been delayed by a month, allowing board partners to build inventory. This way, customers wouldn't have to rely on luck, fast reflexes, or being prepared to camp outside stores.

The recent Destiny drama has been the gift that keeps on giving. Not only have we seen pictures of his gross peepee, video of him sucking someone else's gross peepee, and smoking gun evidence that he truly does frick every woman he associates with professionally even if he tries to be coy about it, but it also flared up a slapfight on Destiny's Kiwi Farms thread where most of these leaks first got posted, and the thread regulars had to deal with the Kiwi rank and file taking new interest in his thread.

Here we're focusing on one Kiwi Farms user by the name of Blav. He's by far the most productive poster in the Destiny thread, but he's also the most neurodivergent. His major highlights include:

• Being the first person to really go into detail on how close Destiny got with Lauren Southern and speculate about their affair with substance, something that has now been almost certainly proven

• Doxing the original Cuties respecter, mrgirl, by examining his videos for distinguishing house and neighborhood features, then combing through hundreds of house listings on real estate sites in his general area to find the correct address

• Keeping logs of everyone Destiny follows on Twitter and Instagram so he can figure out who was staying at Destiny's apartment in a given week

• Creating multiple sock puppet accounts so he could argue with himself because he believed Destiny was watching what he posted in the thread, and he wanted to throw off Destiny so he'd be more willing to publicly hint at his new girlfriend

• Blocking at least a thousand people in a Groomercord server one by one because he was looking for a specific message

• Getting bitched at by Null because he kept using random colors in his posts

That's all one post, by the way.

Moving on to the drama in the thread. If you haven't paid attention, most of the leaked DM's and sextapes came from the same source: a Groomercord user named Rose that Destiny sexted and overshared with, who gave her account over to another Groomercord user named Solo. Solo joined the site under the name SoloTinyLeaks and posted all the videos you might have seen and has also teased a few tidbits of information, the most intriguing being that he knows Rose's real age and that she lied about being 19 when she and Destiny first started sexting. According to Solo she was actually underage at the time, but he won't substantiate that any further out of fear of helping someone dox her.

A lot of people in that thread, Blav included, think Destiny likes to target naive young women because they're the easiest to woo. Blav says outright he believes Destiny is an ephebophile but also starts mixing in the word libertarian. He gets baited by a longtime Kiwi shitposter named Dynastia\Dyn into explaining why people might call Destiny a libertarian.

At this point he gets pissy and threatens to leave:

But of course he doesn't, since he has plenty of sock accounts he keeps signing in to new ones to argue with people in the thread. Will he actually leave forever? Who knows at this point, but he's managed to stay away from the farms for a whole 15 hours at the time of writing this.

All while that's going on, Dynastia is baiting others into arguing over what qualifies as libertarianism, Null is trying to be diplomatic and redirect the thread's energy to the women who had porn of them leaked (a scandal of far bigger substance), and a thread semi-regular named Green Meanie b-words at Null for bringing r-slurs into the thread. This triggers Null to lay down the law.

And that's about where we stand so far. The thread is a bit tense due to daddy Null having to scold people, but conversation seems to be returning to normal. No idea if or when Blav will return (he will), or if he's already back on a sock account no one has discovered yet (probably).

TL;DR the state of the KF Destiny thread:

!ranchers @arsey

Merry Christmas from the politics long post man! I bought a grass award and now I'm broke, so I'm "regifiting" something I wrote for thanksgiving! Happy holidays!

The White House is full of cheesy, sweet, mostly useless traditions done for fun. The Family Christmas cards , calling kids on Christmas , and my favourite trick and treating at the White House . But there's none as cheesy as the turkey pardon, where the President is given a turkey and grants it a pardon - so that first turkey goes back to a farm to be killed later, and the President eats a second turkey that's killed earlier. A pretty strange tradition when broken down like that (though what tradition isn't when broken down), it's history is disputed. Most attribute the start of the tradition Harry Truman being sent several turkeys, but I assure you that cheap bastard didn't pardon shit. And besides that, Presidents have been gifted turkeys before then - who started pardoning turkeys? And when did it become a tradition?

The First Turkey Gift

There are rumours that Lincoln was the first man to pardon a turkey, coming from an 1865 report about the President's actions in 1863. There seems to be some truth in the matter, but it was far from a tradition or spectacle - Lincoln's son Tad had grown attached to the bird, so Abe decided to spare it . Additionally, the tradition usually involves pardoning an animal sent to the President - that wasn't a tradition until 1873, when a rather intelligent poultry farmer figured out a trick.

Gifts to the President were nothing new. He's the most powerful man in one of the most powerful nations - if the President says he enjoys something, such as the product or service he had received as a pleasant gift, then you can be sure that will become a fashionable item.

The first noted turkey farmer to figure that out was Horace Vose (pictured above), the "Turkey King of Rhode Island" . Every year, the Turkey King would send a dressed turkey to the President. Cracks showed in Vose's final thanksgiving, when Representative South Trimble also sent President Wilson a turkey, certain that it would be better than the Turkey King's turkey (historical record as to which turkey was better doesn't exist, what a fricking oversight). When Vose passed away that December, offering the President turned into all out war - Warren Harding , for example, was sent turkeys every year - even in 1920 when he was both not President and not in America.

But a grand tradition was established that year. In addition to the turkeys Harding was swarmed with, he and President Wilson were both sent live turkeys from Texas - it's unknown what Harding did with the turkey, but Wilson ate the poor thing. Coolidge , the fun police, briefly stopped the practise because he opposed having wild animals in the White House. Thankfully, he was pressured into restoring the practise, and was sent just a bunch of wild animals as penance that year. One such animal was a raccoon. Rather then eat her, Grace Coolidge adopted her and named her Rebecca. And as you can see, she was just a sweet heart.

So for Roosevelt era, the tradition was that during Thanksgiving, the White House would be swarmed by animals in an attempt to get some national advertising or to show support. Things would change in Truman's day.

The First Presentation

In autumn 1947, Truman and the food administration called for "Poultryless Thursdays", a voluntary measure made to try and save food to give to the Europoors after WW1 Poultry farmers were fricking pissed - that year, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years all happened to take place on Thursday, so Truman's woke war on turkeys really fricked them over.

This led to the first public Turkey Presentation, where the turkey magnates made a big show of giving Truman a turkey which did lead to Truman taking Turkey off the "pls don't eat list".

This was the first time that the President being given a turkey was given attention with a show made out of it, and it was a lobbying effort, god bless America. The establishment of this tradition is likely why President Truman is credited with the other tradition, the pardon, but as the Truman library notes - this turkey was not at all spared. The guy was a massive cheapskate, he 100% ate that turkey

Instead, the first turkey spared was in 1963, when President Kennedy declined to have the turkey he was presented with on a whim.

On November the 19th, President Kennedy sarcastically said "We'll just let this one grow" (it was 55 lbs). Why he didn't want to eat this turkey isn't clear - he ate bacon every day and loved oysters, so it's not like he was a vegetarian. And he kind of died 10 days later, so we couldn't exactly ask him why he did this. Some have speculated that it was kind of power play over the more "macho" Lyndon Johnson , but he didn't have a problem with the 1961 or 1962 turkeys. More likely, in my opinion, is that Kenney was just feeling silly. He was prone to just doing silly, whimsical things - it was why the press liked him so much.

So, mystery solved. President Kennedy was the President that established the Turkey Pardon, and he did it for shits and giggles.

The issue with this is that it wasn't repeated for some time. LBJ did not fricking spare a single bird, if the press wasn't present in that photo he'd unhinge his jaw and eat that bird then and there, and Nixon ate a few birds - while he did send some Turkeys to a petting zoo (and the Carters sent every bird to a petting zoo), that wasn't part of the tradition at all. More critically, President Kennedy, Nixon and Carter didn't "pardon" the turkey. He just sent it back home, he didn't use his powers for it. So, when was the first time that a President pardoned a turkey?

The First Pardon

1987, Ronald Wilson Reagan's second to final year. His landslide victory in 1980 and 1984 may suggest that he's a massively popular and unifying president. And perhaps in 1984, he was.

But in truth, the Iran-Contra scandal is boiling Reagan's administration alive. More and more top officials are being exposed as committing high treason, illegally selling guns to Iran to illegally fund right wing counterrevolutionaries the Contras . While being grilled by the press on whether Reagan will pardon Oliver North, a lead architect behind the scheme, the gears in his addled mind turn. It's a difficult question to answer - so he won't answer it. Putting on his movie star grin and giving Charlie the turkey a pet, he smiles, ignores the question, and says he will indeed be pardoning this turkey.

Unlike Kennedy's clemency, Reagan's pardon wasn't spur of the moment. He had only had one turkey, in 1981, and had afterwards sent the birds to petting zoos as well. But this was the first time the idea of a pardon was introduced to a turkey presentation field. That's right, the first example of this silly show was covering up massive corruption at the very top of American power. God bless America!

Like Kennedy, this wasn't the start of a tradition for a reason - Reagan didn't do it again in 1988. Instead, the tradition was started in 1989, during the first Bushs' first year.

"Let me assure you, and this fine tom turkey, that he will not end up on anyone's dinner table, not this guy. He's granted a presidential pardon as of right now."

For some reason, the President that oversaw an end to the Cold War didn't have why he pardoned turkeys a lot noted for history. It's like he had no idea what's important. It could be that he wanted to try and legitimise the first pardon, but after Reagan didn't have a pardon ceremony in 1989, that strikes me as unlikely. Bush wasn't exactly a vegetarian, so I can only arrive at the conclusion he thought he thought it was neat.

Or, rather his team thought it was neat. He didn't give a frick either way, saying of the affair "'Reprieve', 'keep him going', or 'pardon': it's all the same for the turkey, as long as he doesn't end up on the president's holiday table."

Nonetheless, it was a cute tradition established and actually followed up on, as Clinton pardoned his turkey - citing the tradition as going back to Lincoln and Truman, which is likely why there's some confusion. Slick Willie, you scamp!

Addendum - what happens to the turkeys after the pardon?

They die.

John Stossel did a report on it. The turkeys are bred to be eaten, not enjoy life. Fed a grain-heavy diet of fortified corn and soybeans to increase their size, what typically happens is that the flesh grows so fast that their bones and organs can't match the overgrown flesh, so they just die.

This isn't unique to the presidential turkeys - this applies to the vast majority of turkeys chosen to be slaughtered. The only difference between the presidential turkeys and normal turkeys is that the presidential turkeys are trained to handle crowds, before dying slowly from their forced mutations.

Yeah I ended the longpost with vegan propaganda. Deal with it cute twinks

P Diddy's lawyer Anthony Ricco has stepped down from his legal team.

"Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs," Ricco said in a motion for withdraw of counsel filed in New York on Friday. Discussions had been held with lead counsel Mark Agnifilo and Ricco before the motion was filed, according to the documents, which were obtained by The Mirror US.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14278765/Shocking-moment-woman-attacked-capybara-swimming-lake.html

This is the shocking moment a woman was attacked by a capybara while swimming in Colombia.

Astonishing video shows how a paddle with the huge rodent took a sinister turn when it launched itself at the swimmer and attacked.

The young victim could be seen in phone footage raising her finger to the animal to warn it to keep its distance.

In an instant it then jumped on her back and seemingly gnawed at her head before she went under the water.

The woman's cries could be heard as the large animal pushed her out of the frame while snapping at her.

In a stroke of luck, a man arrived on the bank and grabbed a stick to defend the victim as she came to shore, sobbing.

She continued wailing off camera as the massive rodent returned to bobbing quietly in the lake.

Some nonsense article has come out which cites:

A number of people connected to the Trump team have talked about "regime change" in the UK

'a number of people talking' holy shit total journ*list death

I didn't read it but basically it's about orange daddy wanting to get rid of starmer so naturally it caused some spilled cups of tea in the cute twink subreddit.

Good luck with that. Our next election doesn't have to be until 2029 so the orange turd is gonna have to wait a tiny bit

regime change? heh good luck with th-

>This article may be too long to navigate comfortably.

They will be hoping to use Twitter, social media, the papers and propaganda to make him so unpopular that he has to stand down.

Is Keir Starmer really the last bastion of hope for a world without fascist leaders? I'm scared.

Hey remember like six months ago when he released 1700 violent offenders and suspended due process in order to jail people who commented emojis on facebook posts?

I know you're joking, but if the UK, Germany and/or France go full right wing nut job then that's the set up for world authoritarian rule.

• man who can't purchase a knife without submitting a video of him next to his passport

I would think a UK headline "United Kingdom wants a regime change in the US" might prove popular.

We have about as much cache on the world stage as, say, Burundi. Paul Kagame publicly bent us over and this chap thinks he's Disraeli

but there is a very real possibility that the US can meaningfully alter and rewrite British politics against our will.

No they can't.

Coming from reddit user who was absolutely convinced Musk and his Bots are going to destroy democracy any day now?

You have to fight Trump with strength. This means letting it be known that meeting the Royal Family is conditional on Trump and Musk not interfering in UK politics as a start. Oh and I certainly would not be sharing intelligence right now: uk assets are at risk.

Yes, yes, and yes!

>W-we'll uhh.. stop you from meeting King Charles _{even though we have no power to do that}

wow talk about soft power! We've really got Drumpf over a barrel on this one I actually thought this was a joke until someone replied clapping like a seal

Starmer could be described as a lot of things, socialist? Don't be silly…

bro please

Frick Trump and his regime. We need to keep his influence away from our way of life.

>our way of life

This guy's entire life is football and sneeding about Trump and Musk

I love how the Right always harped on their hatred/fear of a New World Order. Guess what idiots? This last election should fall under "leopards ate my face"

So we're happy to be bullied by the US now, but the EU was an issue?
