[CW: Food addiction] Zionist gets addicted to cheese and spend $6k/week for rehab
  • “I stopped by either Morton Williams or by Whole Foods and I would just buy cheese, and I would literally just eat a block of cheese with my hands,” said Cojab, 27, often while sitting on the floor of her Midtown apartment alone in the dark.
    “It was the only thing that would make me feel somewhat whole.”
    The feta fiend said she devoured an estimated 5.5 blocks of cheese per week, along with savory parmesan crisps she stocked in her pantry.

    I understand to an extent. I also love cheese and am empty inside. I’ve eaten too much cheese in one sitting on occasion. But 5 or 6 blocks every week‽

  • Macron Calls State of Emergency Over Protests in the colony of New Caledonia
  • Reading up on the last independence vote:

    In November 2021, "a group of 64 Pacific experts from around the world" signed an opinion piece in Le Monde calling for the French government to postpone the referendum, suggesting that failure to include the Kanak population could lead to a repeat of the civil unrest of the 1980s.

  • [Not the Onion] Customers are asking for H5N1 milk.
  • Other raw milk drinkers, such as Peg Coleman, a medical microbiologist who runs Coleman Scientific Consulting, a Groton, N.Y.-based food safety consulting company, claimed the government’s warnings have no basis in reality.

    How did this person get a degree?

  • Bad math says there will be a new GoFundMe in 2 months
  • Not sure what your point here is, but the first people to undergo risky experimental treatments like that are people already close to death. The fact that they died doesn’t necessarily mean the experiment was bad.

    Slayman, who had end-stage kidney disease, underwent the transplant in March at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston at age 62.

    The hospital said in a statement on Saturday that there was "no indication" that his death was the result of the transplant. The transplant surgeon had said he hoped the transplant would function for at least two years.

    And the second story is completely different. Heart transplants and gene therapy are completely different things.

    As part of a trial run by Cambridge University, Opal received an infusion of a working copy of the OTOF gene in her right ear. The surgical procedure took only 16 minutes and was carried out just before she reached her first birthday.

    Opal has tolerated the procedure and the gene therapy itself well, and she's experienced no adverse effects following the treatments

  • r/vexillology and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
  • The fact that he hates one of the best state flags because it has a singular “C” on it (never mind its clear visibility and simple geometric design) means I can’t take his opinions on flags seriously.

    And he hates on South Carolina’s flag for no good reason.

    Both of those got ranked under North Carolina, which has a big “NC”, two dates on it, and is otherwise just the same as the Texas flag.

  • r/vexillology and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
  • They had many decent (non meme) proposals. Even the proposal this is based on wasn’t horrible, although it wasn’t the best. But then they decided to remove the tricolor and just make it a completely plain background. Why?

  • Looks like Kerbal Space Program 2 is dead
  • Supposedly not dead.

    Private Division will continue to update Kerbal Space Program 2, Take-Two said in a statement.

    No idea who would be developing it. Presumably a team that has other stuff on their plate, or else why would they shut down the team dedicated to it just to dedicate another team to it?

    So basically they'll be overworking some other employees to make up for this shutdown.

  • Help I Need An Adult (Car/Money Problems)
  • Part of why it seems like it might be a ripoff is that I can find the parts (according to my completely uneducated and untrained figuring) on autozone.com for like 250 bucks.

    Get a quote that tells you the separate prices for parts and labor. If the labor cost is doable, ask if you can provide your own parts.

  • CenterValues

    It’s a parody of 8values and LeftValues. No idea what the ideology of the person who made this is (probably centrist I think), but it’s funny either way, in different ways. Some of the intended jokes hit though, but maybe not in the intended way. Either way this post is a dunk on centrists.

    Apparently Apple and Google decided to drop all the family emojis in favor of generic icons.

    Shown is a man, woman, girl family, but every 2 adult 1 child family now shows the same, with similar icons for the other numbers of each.

    Actually it looks like Google still represents women and girls in the new ugly icons, but man and person (gender neutral) show up the same as do boy and child (gender neutral).

    This is literally no steps forward, many steps back. Especially for Apple, wiping out both sexual orientation and gender representation. And Google conflating male and gender neutral is pretty bad too. I see no good reason for this change, not even a profit-motivated reason. I think it might have something to do with representing race. i.e. a silhouette is more race neutral than yellow. But they could just support mixed race families instead.

    Microsoft on the other hand supports all the possible family combinations of both gender and skin tone, which Apple and Google never supported. Here's the built in Windows 11 tool to make a family. Each person's gender and skin tone can be changed.

    Tangent: on the other hand, Microsoft refuses to support country flag emojis for some reason which is annoying.

    Absolutely unhinged thread from the worst lib account you've ever seen

    https://twitter.com/saladshooter9/status/1741985174709997980

    The first 4 points (not in the screenshot, in the full thread) aren't horrible, depending on what calls of ableism they have in mind, but it's just way down hill from there.

    Their bio: > Brunch lib. Basically a KHive/Bonds Dog amalgam. I stand with 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦🇬🇾🇹🇼🇦🇲

    Just the worst collection of flags, except 🇬🇾 and 🇦🇲, but I'm guessing 🇬🇾 is just to follow the State Department line on their territorial dispute with Venezuela.

    I so want this to be a parody, but they have a lot of threads about how horrible various 91° media pundits actually love Trump.

    (Not that all their targets are undeserving, ♫Michael Tracey Crypto-Fascist♫ is definitely not.)

    lmao there’s going to be a “Capitalism and Economy Fest” on Steam

    Organized by some third party, but hosted on Steam.

    https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/upcoming_events/themed_sales/economy_2024

    > Games that are about capitalism, economy, or money grubbing are allowed in this event. It doesn't have to be real money—cookies count as a currency!—but the entire goal of the game should be to make money.

    lmao at the not at all subtle beg for Cookie Clicker to be part of the fest. I hope it’s not.

    > Games that are mostly about trading or bartering are not eligible for this event. Sorry, this is an event for Capitalist titles only!

    Trading and bartering is economy. And an economy isn’t necessarily about maximizing money earned. If they just wanted capitalist stuff they should have left the word economy out. It literally says capitalism or economy in the description.

    I’m guessing it’s just brainworms who think economy = capitalism.

    Anyway it would be hilarious if Workers and Resources applied to be in the fest.

    > Construct your own republic and transform a poor country into a rich industrial superpower!

    > Economic simulation. Prices of resources on the global market are changing over time as you play –one day you can sell or purchase steel for a $100 per ton, but in a few months the cost can rise to $200 or decrease to $50. The price of everything is connected to the cost of work and resources.

    See, it’s about making money and economy. That’s what you were looking for, right?

    Or what’s some game that critiques capitalism by having you take it to its logical end? The organizers could probably be tricked into accepting it.

    The Sims 4 Landleech Expansion Pack: Official Reveal Trailer

    > Property Management

    > Property owner Sims can be present property managers, living among their tenants, or they can live in a separate residence while generating income from several property investments. Watch out – if property owners don’t keep their Unit Ratings high, they could face a Tenant Revolt.

    "Tenant Revolt" sounds cool though. Multi-family housing is cool too.

    [CW: hate crime against child] This is Wadie Al-Fayoume, a 6-year-old boy brutally murdered by his landlord. A lot of media is not even mentioning his name or showing his photo.

    Instead they're focused on the murderer, repeating his name everywhere and showing his mugshot at the top of their articles. So I wanted to post to honor Wadie instead.

    Wadie was stabbed 26 times by that monster. I don't even know how to express how fucked up this is. The poor boy. I'm heartbroken.
