Crates Of Glass Bottles Dropped Off For Rioters In France. A disturbing pattern is emerging across Western nations, and it’s getting harder to ignore. Similar to the tactical staging of materials seen during previous civil unrest in America, footage from France and Milan now shows identical methods being deployed in real-time. This striking consistency raises serious questions about the organic nature of these uprisings.
Are these riots truly grassroots, or is there a coordinated, well-funded effort at play to destabilize civilizations across the West? From one country to the next, the playbook appears the same, suggesting a much larger, darker agenda is orchestrating this chaos. It’s a chilling reminder that without addressing the root cause, this destabilization is destined to move on to the next city.

Rumours claiming that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un suffered a severe brain haemorrhage, fell into a coma, or died are unverified and false. State media released public photos showing Kim alive and active following the online speculation.
Kim Yo Jong is a North Korean politician and diplomat, and sister of WPK General Secretary Kim Jong Un. She is widely believed to be among the most powerful
What if she will be the next supreme leader then MW4 wins in prediction and we might all be doomed...hope that doesn't happen and Stay safe Leader Kim...😭🪖

I would say its " told u this gonna happen" look.The neck crack sfx 😭😭💀💀💀it's not a "you're next" stare, it's a "look at what happened, is this all worth the revenge you seek?"Ghost doesnt even need to move his body at all. His pure gaze onto price was enough for price to feel the bloodlust xD"If you thought I was going to kill you before..." 😂The instant snap after the door closed 😂 "You lucky I'm in the fuckin chair."That’s when John knew, he done fucked up.Dude really gave him the “I swear when we get outta here”"If you thought shit was wicked BEFORE"I wonder how many people realise the "It's good to see you again, John" line is a callback to MWII when Ghost takes his mask off and Price says "It's good to see you again, Simon"This what lead to cod ghosts thank you for coming to my Ted talk 😂Crazy cause in the originals price is the last one left standing. Yuri died, soap died, gaz died, ghost died. Now the whole thing is flipped, and ghost is the last left standing. I love the original storyline better but they both tore at my heart.I'm really starting to believe that ghost is actually Logan from cod ghosts and using an alternate name. And I know they're 2 different characters simply cause Logan and David were amercian and ghost here is clearly of some kind of UK desent (scot brit irsh) but idk something about the man says I'm from another game title.
No man is attracted to a fat woman.
He is merely settling out of laziness or despair.
Women don't seem to understand this. They don't understand that they are disgusting, naked or clothed. The human body is normally beautiful unless its fat.

Men need to stop rewarding fatties. Inevitably its our mistake for not letting natural selection do its thing. On the good side it seems to be happening, Gen Alpha men are cashing out and avoiding dating, and women are freaking out. Eventually women will get the message and reform themselves and men will come back.
The term "maxxing" has completely saturated internet slang, evolving from a niche subculture optimization strategy into a meaningless suffix attached to almost any daily activity.
Originally emerging from gaming terminology (min-maxing stats) and later popularized in specific online self-improvement communities (like "looksmaxing"), the linguistic trend has now spun out of control.
The Evolution and Dilution of "Maxxing"
Phase Core Concept Examples
1. Gaming Origins Mathematical optimization of video game character stats. Min-maxing efficiency
2. Subculture Suffix Intensive, hyper-focused real-world self-improvement. Looksmaxxing, moneymaxxing
3. Mainstream Satire Ironical or casual application to completely mundane tasks. Bedmaxxing, lunchmaxxing, chillmaxxing
Why It Lost Its Meaning
• Semantic Bleach: When a word meant to describe "extreme optimization" is used to describe lying in bed all day ("bedmaxxing"), it loses its semantic weight.
• Over-Saturation: Tiktok and algorithmic feeds reward rapid-fire meme formats, causing linguistic trends to burn out and become "cringe" at an accelerated rate.
• Irony Ironing It Out: What started as a serious (and often toxic) term was co-opted by mainstream users to mock the very concept of hyper-optimization, rendering it just another way to say "doing an activity."
It's a classic case of internet slang burning bright and burning out. Are there other current slang trends or linguistic shifts that you find equally exhausting or fascinating?

I’ll quote another movie here (as best as I can recall)“chicks aren’t looking for the PG guy that everyone is routing for. They want the rated R guy”.She plays the same character in Emily in Paris kinda.
.. by same character I say most women aka toxic.10 years later she'll be bitching that she can't find a good guy.This is exactly what 98% of the women in the world are like right now. Say no to the good guy go get treated like shit. I used to feel sorry for women like that when their boyfriends would beat them so they couldn’t see out their eyes and they keep going back to him hard to find a good honest woman. I don’t think they exist. She loves trash... A wizard sleeve, herpes, and 3 kids later she will wonder why there are no "nice guys".Because she has already banged 59 guys.What a bitch. Slut.The same ones that …. Need nice guys after dating 30 bad boys And 2 kids with unknown fathers.she wants to get abused and used and when she has a big old piece of roast beef hanging down, she won’t get serious at that pointRun from that bitchFuck them bitches and their bullshit. So she's a slut. Good to know.And females wonder why they become single moms and then complain all men are the same . 🤡It’s best just not to waste your time approaching women these days. You’ll save yourself the stress, misery, rejection, and money.Run from that bitch!!!! Dude. You dodged a whore untill the day she can’t spread her own legs !!!!
Today to my dismay i noticed that my shit smelled exactly like the shit of other people. In the past i always prided that my shit smelled somehow less pungent, less shitty, less disgusting. And today when taking a shit - my shit smelled like the shit of other people, as if it wasn't my shit, as if i was shitting out some other person's smelly shit.
Anyone noticed something similar before?
It is actually incredibly common for people to suddenly notice a shift in how their stool smells, sometimes making it match the more pungent, universal "public restroom" odor they usually only associate with others. [1]
The primary reason you are noticing this sudden change comes down to temporary shifts in your diet, gut bacteria, and digestive transit time. [2, 3]
## Why Your Stool Smell Can Suddenly Change
The regular, everyday scent of your bowel movements is determined by your unique microbiome—the specific community of bacteria living in your gut—and how quickly food moves through you. When your stool suddenly smells significantly more pungent or "disgusting," it is usually driven by a few distinct factors: [3]
* High-Sulfur Foods: Eating foods rich in sulfur causes gut bacteria to produce hydrogen sulfide gas, which carries a highly recognizable "rotten egg" or heavy chemical smell. Common culprits include garlic, onions, broccoli, cabbage, red meat, and foods containing sulfites (like certain beers or wines). [2, 3, 4]
* Protein and Fat Intake: High-protein and high-fat meals take longer to break down. When they sit in your digestive tract, the bacteria ferment them, creating much more intense organic compounds (like indole and skatole) that give feces its classic, heavy odor. [3, 4]
* Slower Digestion: If you are slightly dehydrated, stressed, or constipated, food moves slower through your intestines. This gives bacteria more time to multiply and ferment the waste, resulting in a much stronger smell when you finally go. [3, 4]
* Mild Gut Imbalances: A brief imbalance in your gut flora—often triggered by a change in diet, a mild bug, or a recent medication—can temporarily favor the types of bacteria that produce more pungent gases. [2, 4]
## Why We Prefer Our Own Scent
Psychologically, humans are hardwired to be less bothered by their own bodily odors. Your brain expects and recognizes your own biological baseline, which is why your own bathroom trips usually don't register as offensive to you. When a sudden dietary or bacterial shift pushes your scent past that familiar baseline, it bypasses that mental filter, leaving you feeling like you are smelling someone else's mess. [5]
## When to Take Note
For most people, a sudden foul odor resolves on its own within a few days as the gut resets. According to insights on stool health from [Banner Health](https://www.bannerhealth.com/healthcareblog/better-me/healthy-bowel-movements), a temporary change in smell isn't usually an indicator of health issues. [6]
However, if the highly pungent smell remains permanent, or if it is accompanied by "red flag" symptoms like persistent diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or visible blood, it's a good idea to check in with a doctor to rule out underlying food intolerances or malabsorption issues.

My great grandfather died at age 102.
I didn’t know him very well, seeing as he lived in Mexico and spoke only Spanish. However it was really inspiring to hear stories about him. Before he got sick back in may, He used to ride his bicycle around town and drink alcohol past the age of 100. He had many stories he collected over such a long lifespan, ones that are now lost to time. He reminds us how precious time is, and how unstoppable of a unit it is. Before he left he would say something along of lines of “I’ve lived too long, if god is ready for me then I would be ready for god”.
RIP!
