And the only reason TikTok exists is because Twitter killed Vine.

Japan, culturally, has a long tradition of rather extreme xenophobia. Up until the 19th century foreigners weren't even allowed outside of VERY specific areas and the ones who were allowed to visit were from a small list of nations.

All the 80's 30 minute toy adverts did those and the ONLY reason they did them was to appease regulators. Arguably the G.I. Joe ones had a more significant cultural impact.

I don't know. I do feel the indictment is pretty much a sure thing at this point. Weather or not we get a conviction... That's the part I'm questioning.

Putin probably plays the oligarchs against each other to help maintain power. He goes, civil war starts and they know it.

Axaday beat me to the punch. Pretty much said everything I was about to post, but I'll add this: There is evidence that nutritional health actually DROPPED after the transition from hunter-gatherer to fully agrarian society in most places. The OTHER benefits simply outweighed the downsides.

With any luck the whole East Palestine incident will have similar results to the Cuyahoga River Fire incident and bring people around to the idea that MAYBE we really should put environmental safety over profit. At the very least MAYBE Ohio will start moving back to purple.

I'm not a doctor or nutritionist, but from what I've read and seen, OCCASIONAL fasting can have some benefits, but that's for like a day or two, not weeks at a time. Remember your metabolism actually drops when your body goes into 'starvation' mode, setting you up for gaining weight FASTER...

It can store SOME fat-soluble vitamins, but not all nutrients are fat soluble. Still, it's not a good solution except in a pinch. Might be able to last a month or two, but the BAD side effects of not eating will show up WAY before death will.

Fat can keep you going for a bit, as far as caloric energy goes, but you need more than just energy. Fat reserves won't fight off scurvy, anemia, etc.

I thought it was to give workers more daylight hours to build stuff for the war effort during WWII as well as an ill-conceived idea to reduce energy usage on lighting during the warmer months(turns out power savings of doing it are negligible). The MODERN incarnation in the US is from 1975 with...

It increases the chance of someone coming around, but that kinda depends on the amount of anti-trans indoctrination the person has absorbed and how open said individual is to new information.

Funny thing is they are talking about 'incorprorating' the town, which means Musk's companies might found them, but the residents could wrestle control away from him. I believe part of the incorporation process is creating a town charter that requires elected, not corporate appointed, officials...

Looks better than it has any right to, especially given the 'other' American movie based on the franchise and Illuminations overall track record(especially recently). Gonna be even more Easter-egg packed than Wreck-It Ralph by the looks of it as well. The cheerful, nihilistic Luma was great.

Shameful, but not surprising. Heck, the US got away with bombing retreating forces at the end of the Gulf war, there are certain people in the military brass who want to keep said options on the table in the future.

She did get a GED, so there is that. Problem is she wants to gut education which could prevent OTHERS from getting their GEDs. I'm fine with a congressperson not graduation from HS in a traditional way, as long as they have proven their intelligence in other ways.... She unfortunately has...

Displaced people, yea, that's gonna be higher than 100 million. Displaced people who specifically want asylum in the UK, probably lower. And YUP, she's first generation British. Her parents immigrated from Kenya and Mauritius. Kinda like Ted Cruz's father being from Cuba.

Well, he HAS been generating disgruntled employees at Twitter since he took over. Just takes one with access to firearms, or heck, a knife to snap and Musk could easily be the target of an attack.

Just goes to show how humans as a whole haven't changed much in the last 80 years. I'm just hoping THIS time it doesn't take a world war to suppress fascist tendencies.

Don't think Musky cares about trolls. Heck he pretty much IS a troll..... This is the same man who brought a sink into the Twitter offices when he took over the company after all.
