First, lets talk about science, you know, that thing you dismiss when it doesn't support your beef obsession. Yes, science is about possibilities, but its also about probabilities and overwhelming evidence. The link between excessive red meat consumption and health risks isn't some vague claim ,its backed by decades of research from harvard, WHO, and the american heart association, none of which were funded by the humble pea or chana lobby.Now, onto your 'beef is a perfect food' fairytale. Sure, beef is nutrient dense, but calling it a complete meal is like saying soda is perfect because it has water in it. A diet based solely on beef is not balanced, you are missing fiber, antioxidants, and a variety of phytonutrients essential for gut health. But hey, who needs a functioning microbiome, right?As for the B12 injections, you conveniently ignore the fact that NRIs have deficiencies due to processed diets, not just the absence of beef. Eggs, dairy, and fortified foods provide plenty o... (-4)

Cows are as native as we slaughter them and their meat. It is natural as we eat pork, chicken and dog meat. Cows are as natural food for us. If you have issues, go consult your tanatani. (1)

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Strong words from Burlington's police chief on Monday where a repeat offender got into trouble yet again.
If you've been downtown, you've likely seen Michael Reynolds, 47, of Burlington.
Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad says Reynolds has had more than 1,800 encounters with officers, the most in their records system.
He is also accused of a burglary nearby, where the victim found Reynolds hiding in his closet.
Reynolds was released on conditions Monday.
In a statement, Chief Murad said, "[Reynolds] has exhausted outlets of charity, treatment, or relief, and burned bridges with entities that seek to help the disadvantaged."
He encouraged prosecutors to use Vermont's habitual criminal statute if Reynolds is convicted of his most recent felony charge. That means he could face additional prison time.
https://old.reddit.com/r/vermont/comments/1hqjvqg/vt_man_with_1800_encounters_with_police_arrested/
He was released lol:
https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=3676
Reynolds has the following criminal history: 162 misdemeanor charges with 42 convictions, 19 felony charges with 6 convictions, 39 violations of court orders or conditions charges with 3 convictions, and 10 failures to appear.
Today, December 30, 2024, Reynolds appeared for court and was released on conditions. He has nearly 40 violations of court orders or conditions on file, and 10 failures to appear.
He has more police encounters than anyone else in our records management systemโmore than 1,850 entries. More than 170 trespass notices have been filed against him by business proprietors, property owners, and social service providers. He has harmed huge numbers of people; he routinely endangers himself and others; and Burlington's officers deal with him more than any other person. He has exhausted outlets of charity, treatment, or relief, and burned bridges with entities that seek to help the disadvantaged.

!nonchuds !khive Let's kneel to the wikigod
The "Donald Trump and fascism" Wikipedia page was created on September 21, 2024, the same dayย The Guardian published a 4,000 word essay titled, "Is Donald Trump a Fascist?" --- and which is cited as a source in the Wikipedia article
Contributions from just two editors comprise 91.2% of the "Donald Trump and Fascism" article's content, suggesting a tightly coordinated effort to control the narrative
While the "Trumpism" Wikipedia page argues that Trumpism "has significant authoritarian leanings," describing it as "far-right," "national-populist," and "neo-nationalist," it relies on a source that argues exactly the opposite
One of the next major citations to the "Trumpism" article that claims that the movement displays "significant authoritarian leaning" is sourced to sociologist Richard Hanmann who was eulogized in 2021 as "a committed leftist, an anti-imperialist, and a true activist-scholar"
The October surprise of this year's election cycle has, at least so far, appeared in the form of a talking point: Donald Trump is a fascist. This idea has been blasted out byย Kamala Harris, the DNC --- which recently projected "Trump Praised Hitler" on the wall of Madison Square Garden during the MAGA rally --- andย Hillary Clinton.
But for months the idea that Trump is a fascist has been quietly seeded on Wikipedia, lending it credence in the face of deep skepticism from the public. This includes an article on "Trumpism," which mentions some variation of "fascism" 31 times, the article on "Donald Trump and Fascism," an article on "Fascism in North America" that includes a dedicated section on "Donald Trump and Fascism," and an article on the "Racial views of Donald Trump" that includes a comparison to Hitler.
As I've documented inย previous reportingย for Pirate Wires, radical ideologies are laundered by Wikipedia into the mainstream. The key to this is Google, which boosts Wikipedia articles to the top of search results, and often includes a knowledge panel that gives the appearance they've been vetted by the search giant, even though they aren't.
In this case, if you Google "Trump and fascism," one of the top results will be the article on "Trumpism," which mentions some variation of the term "fascist" 92 times. In its lead summary, the article states: "Trumpism has significant authoritarian leanings, and is strongly associated with the belief that the President is above the rule of law. It has been referred to as an American political variant of the far-right and the national-populist and neo-nationalist sentiment seen in multiple nations worldwide from the late 2010s to the early 2020s."
The first source in the article (for the claim Trumpism is a political movement) is a 2016 article inย Scientific Americanย by psychology professors Stephen Reicher and Alexander Haslam. In their article, Reicher and Haslam reference the work of sociologist Theodor Abel, who studied the rise of the Nazis. But what Reicher and Haslam actually wrote in their article makes no comparison between Trump and fascism or Hitler whatsoever. In fact, the source article explicitly states the opposite: "We are not comparing Trump, his supporters or their arguments to the Nazis in any way. Instead, our goal is to expose some problems in the ways that commentators analyze and explain behaviors of which we disapprove."
Reicher and Haslan's critique was not of "Trumpism," but of the media and commentators (and ostensibly, Wikipedia editors) who contort the discourse --- particularly by demonizing constituencies --- to advance political agendas. The authors of the paper cited a Salon.com headline smearing Trump's supporters as "hideous, disgusting racists," as an example of how the media does this, in part by making hyperbolic distortions. The very title of their article --- "The Politics of Hope: Donald Trump as an Entrepreneur of Identity" --- made their position clear. Yet their piece was used by editors of the Wikipedia article to buttress claims that Trumpism is a form of authoritarianism.
One of the next major citations, this one for the claim that the movement displays "significant authoritarian leaning," is sourced to sociologist Richard Hanmann who wasย eulogizedย in 2021 (by the "Marxist sociology blog") as "a committed leftist, an anti-imperialist, and a true activist-scholar." This is a pattern across the Wikipedia articles drawing comparisons between Trump and fascism --- the citations are often radical leftist or Marxist academics.
One of the most egregious instances of editors laundering far-left sources comes in the Trumpism article, which attempts to re-position the populism associated with Trump as neo-fascism, claiming, "Some commentators have rejected the populist designation for Trumpism and view it instead as part of a trend towards a new form of fascism or neo-fascism."
The main source for this claim is a 2017 essay by Marxist ecologist John Bellamy Foster --- billed as "one of the world's outstanding radical scholars" (by his own magazine and his personal website) --- in the socialist journal he edits,ย Monthly Review. To publicize the essay,ย *Monthly Reviewย *included a blurb by a Marxian economist who argued revealingly that, "By rejecting the term 'populism' that is widely used to describe the Trump phenomenon and other similar ones around the globe at present, and using the term 'neo-fascism' instead, John Bellamy Foster has done a great theoretical service to the Left."
The majority of the content on the "Trumpism" page (50.5%) was contributed by a single editor,ย J JMesserly, who was the editor responsible for arguing that fascism, not populism, is the correct characterization of the Trump movement. To implement this, J JMesserly removed another editor's contribution that stated, "Some historians have argued that [characterizing Trump as fascist] is an inaccurate use of the term, pointing out that while there are parallels there are also important dissimilarities." In its place, J JMesserly added the very opposite claim, citing radical scholars toย make the point: "Some commentators have rejected the populist designation for Trumpism and instead view it as a new form of fascism, such as Judith Butler, Noam Chomsky, Juan Cole, Henry Giroux, Paul Street, Enzo Traverso, Davide Tarizzo and Cornel West."
The Trumpism article links to a separate article called "Donald Trump and fascism," which extensively compares Trump to Hitler. "Trump's embrace of far-right extremism and several statements and actions have been accused of echoing fascism, Nazi rhetoric, far-right ideology, antisemitism, and white supremacy," one section of the article asserts, citing theย Los Angeles Times, Associated Press andย Washington Postย as sources for these claims. The article prominently features a painting by an otherwise obscure Dutch artist that merges the faces of Trump and Hitler.
The "Donald Trump and Fascism" article was created in last month --- in the thick of the presidential campaign --- by a user called Di (they-them). The contributions of Di (they-them) and another user, BootsED, comprise 91.2% of the article's content. Curiously, the article was created on September 21, 2024, the same day UK leftwing newspaperย The Guardian publishedย a 4,000 word essayย titled, "Is Donald Trump a Fascist?" --- and which is cited as a source in the "Donald Trump and Fascism" Wikipedia article.ย The Guardianย essay hits many of the same points made in its Wikipedia counterpart, and while ithedged by averring that Trump is notย literallyย a fascist, it concludes that he could be "a cause of 21st-century fascism" who "could yet be one of its enablers."
As the Trump fascism rhetoric continues to rage in advance of the election, it's likely that more voters will turn to Wikipedia to clarify the matter. And while the seemingly dispassionate statements of alleged fact found in the Wikipedia articles might sway them, what voters will not see are the edit wars waged to get these points on the site --- or the radical and Marxist scholarship used to justify them.

Barbara Dunkelman started an OnlyFans a few years ago but she's always fully-clothed and has been clear that she'll never go nude.
Today it was announced that she's on the front page of Penthouse Comics #6 - this is apparently a new Penthouse spin-off that sells in comic book shops. She's also not nude in this.
Not that it's relevant to anything but I don't care for Barbara. She got infected by the Austin woke millennial brain worm and was one of the main reasons that IMO Roosterteeth lost most of its fanbase in the late 2010s. I also don't think she's particularly talented.
The /r/roosterteeth thread is 99% "s*x work is real work" (no dissenting opinions allowed), combined with a few locked comments and a .

Proposed contractual remedies in United States v. Google threaten vital role of independent browsers
Giving people the ability to shape the internet and their experiences on it is at the heart of Mozilla's manifesto. This includes empowering people to choose how they search.
On Nov. 20, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) filed proposed remedies in the antitrust case against Google. The judgment outlines the behavioral and structural remedies proposed by the government in order to restore search engine competition.
Mozilla is a long-time champion of competition and an advocate for reforms that create a level playing field in digital markets. We recognize the DOJ's efforts to improve search competition for U.S. consumers. It is important to understand, however, that the outcomes of this case will have impacts that go far beyond any one company or market.
As written, the proposed remedies will force smaller and independent browsers like Firef*x to fundamentally reexamine their entire operating model. By jeopardizing the revenue streams of critical browser competitors, these remedies risk unintentionally strengthening the positions of a handful of powerful players, and doing so without delivering meaningful improvements to search competition. And this isn't just about impacting the future of one browser company โ it's about the future of the open and interoperable web.
Firef*x and search
Since the launch of Firef*x 1.0 in 2004, we have shipped with a default search engine, thinking deeply about search and how to provide meaningful choice for people. This has always meant refusing any exclusivity; instead we preinstall multiple search options and we make it easy for people to change their search engine โ whether setting a general default or customizing it for individual searches.
We have always worked to provide easily accessible search alternatives alongside territory-specific options โ an approach we continue today. For example, in 2005, our U.S. search options included Yahoo, eBay, Creative Commons and Amazon, alongside Google.
Today, Firef*x users in the U.S. can choose between Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Amazon, eBay and Wikipedia directly in the address bar. They can easily add other search engines and they can also benefit from Mozilla innovations, like Firef*x Suggest.
For the past seven years, Google search has been the default in Firef*x in the U.S. because it provides the best search experience for our users. We can say this because we have tried other search defaults and supported competitors in search: in 2014, we switched from Google to Yahoo in the U.S. as they sought to reinvigorate their search product. There were certainly business risks, but we felt the risk was worth it to further our mission of promoting a better internet ecosystem. However, that decision proved to be unsuccessful.
Firef*x users โ who demonstrated a strong preference for having Google as the default search engine โ did not find Yahoo's product up to their expectations. When we renewed our search partnership in 2017, we did so with Google. We again made certain that the agreement was non-exclusive and allowed us to promote a range of search choices to people.
The connection between browsers and search that existed in 2004 is just as important today. Independent browsers like Firef*x remain a place where search engines can compete and users can choose freely between them. And the search revenue Firef*x generates is used to advance our manifesto, through the work of the Mozilla Foundation and via our products โ including Gecko, Mozilla's browser engine.
Browsers, browser engines and the open web
Since launching Firef*x in 2004, Mozilla has pioneered groundbreaking technologies, championing open-source principles and setting critical standards in online security and privacy. We also created or contributed to many developments for the wider ecosystem, some (like Rust and Let's Encrypt) have continued to flourish outside of Mozilla. Much of this is made possible by developing and maintaining the Gecko browser engine.
Browser engines (not to be confused with search engines) are little-known but they are the technology powering your web browser. They determine much of the speed and functionality of browsers, including many of the privacy and security properties.
In 2013, there were five major browser engines. In 2024, due to the great expense and expertise needed to run a browser engine, there are only three left: Apple's WebKit, Google's Blink and Mozilla's Gecko โ which powers Firef*x.
Apple's WebKit primarily runs on Apple devices, leaving Google and Mozilla as the main cross-platform browser engine developers. Even Microsoft, a company with a three trillion dollar market cap, abandoned its Trident browser engine in 2019. Today, its Edge browser is built on top of Google's Blink engine.
There are only three major browser engines left โ Apple's WebKit, Google's Blink and Gecko from Mozilla. Apple's WebKit mainly runs on Apple devices, making Gecko the only cross-platform challenger to Blink.
Remedies in the U.S. v Google search case
So how do browser engines tie into the search litigation? A key concern centers on proposed contractual remedies put forward by the DOJ that could harm the ability of independent browsers to fund their operations. Such remedies risk inadvertently harming browser and browser engine competition without meaningfully advancing search engine competition.
Firef*x and other independent browsers represent a small proportion of U.S. search queries, but they play an outsized role in providing consumers with meaningful choices and protecting user privacy. These browsers are not just alternatives โ they are critical champions of consumer interests and technological innovation.
Rather than a world where market share is moved from one trillion dollar tech company to another, we would like to see actions which will truly improve competition โ and not sacrifice people's privacy to achieve it. True change requires addressing the barriers to competition and facilitating a marketplace that promotes competition, innovation and consumer choice โ in search engines, browsers, browser engines and beyond.
We urge the court to consider remedies that achieve its goals without harming independent browsers, browser engines and ultimately without harming the web.
We'll be sharing updates as this matter proceeds.

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.
