Noticed a similar thing going between Canadian and US grocery stores. Roughly the same numerical cost, but with the difference in price exchange rates it is far cheaper on the Canadian side. Also, high fructose corn syrup isn’t at the top of every single ingredient list.

KnitWit@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump once hosted party for ‘young women’ where Epstein was only guest, says report3·5 days agoExactly, which the video quote I think proves. He really felt comfortable saying that. He’s high up in all of that, but he is far from the only one in that muck. And it certainly didn’t end when Epstein died.
KnitWit@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump once hosted party for ‘young women’ where Epstein was only guest, says report91·5 days agoTo be fair, this was all information that was published before. Just like now, it changes absolutely nothing for his supporters.
Not to say that the dems aren’t terrible at messaging. But this seems to be more of a case of Trump having so many scandals that people forgot the details of this one. Saw someone post the other day that they went to Epsteins wikipedia page and had completely forgotten large swathes of it. Its just too much, too fucked up, for people to hold on to it.
And the worst part is, none of it is hidden. The video from the 90s (maybe early aughts) that had him speaking about his good friend ‘who, you know, likes them a little on the young side,’ was from Inside Edition (iirc). Dude casually admitted his friend was a pedo and it gets published as a puff piece.
None of this is new, none of this is unknown, its just unbearably fucked up.

Illegally pulled over and searched (oregon plates). Wasn’t even remotely surprised it happened. Fuck Oklahoma, apologies to those who have to live there.

I was going under the limit both times and definitely wouldn’t try to hit them. The second one looked like it was going to miss me before it turned and went straight at the windshield. Real tucker and dale moment for me.

If somehow Murdoch has turned on him, he now can access discovery, which would be wild.

Ok, now that i’ve found my pen, what was I supposed to write down again?
KnitWit@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•The CIA reveals more of its connections to Lee Harvey OswaldEnglish5·10 days agoI also saw something at one point that claimed the solution to the magic bullet theory was just that a secret service member accidentally shot jfk after Oswald shot. And that the conspiracy/cover up is more along the lines of they didn’t want that getting out, either to protect the agency and/or the individual. In my mind this explanation makes sense, but I’m not really invested in any of it.
KnitWit@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Detained immigrants at 'Alligator Alcatraz' say there are worms in food and wastewater on the floor6·12 days agoAgreed, that’s kinda what I’m getting at. This whole term has been with the understanding that the narrative has become fully divorced from the reality. Scary times.
KnitWit@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Detained immigrants at 'Alligator Alcatraz' say there are worms in food and wastewater on the floor118·12 days agoThe fact that these problems are present at the beginning stages show that this was always the intended result. Obviously none of this is shocking, but it does amaze me that they don’t even have the patience to pretend that it was ‘a good plan that went sour along the way’. Shows that if you have half of the nation fully captured then optics don’t even matter anymore.

KnitWit@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Texas Officials Slam Trump’s National Weather Service for Bad ForecastEnglish82·19 days agoThat’s not a part of this article… this article starts with the first paragraph, followed in paragraph 3 and five, which all do more to disparage the forecast than mention an uthing about lack of dissemination (who the person you’re quite would be referring to. This is another hit piece disguised as something else.
Officials in Texas are casting blame on the National Weather Service (NWS) for failing to forecast catastrophic flooding that has killed 24 people…
“The original forecast that we received Wednesday from the National Weather Service predicted 3-6 inches of rain in the Concho Valley and 4-8 inches in the Hill Country,” said Texas Emergency Management Chief W. Nim Kidd at a press conference Friday. “The amount of rain that fell at this specific location was never in any of those forecasts.”…
Dalton Rice, the city manager for Kerrville, Texas—who also spoke at the press conference—said that the catastrophic flash flooding happened because the skies “dumped more rain than what was forecasted” on two of the river’s forks….
This is a matter of storms being able to supercharge themselves due to global warming. Don’t let people reframe this against the NWS. It is like Hurricane Erick the other week that jumped to category 3 out of nowhere, storms are being rapidly supercharged. This flood broke all sorts of records, so to phrase it as the previous commenter did is unfair… In the near future, their ability to even predict as well as they did will degrade though, at which point you will hear more of ‘they never knew what they were talking about anyways.’ This lays the groundwork for that.

KnitWit@lemmy.worldto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Texas Officials Slam Trump’s National Weather Service for Bad ForecastEnglish89·19 days agoDon’t fall for it. While the NWS is definitely being gutted, there was nothing wrong with their reporting. They issued proper preliminary reports and warnings leading up to the tragic event. This wasn’t an issue of not being forewarned, it was an issue of a river rising over twenty feet in a rapid timeframe. These officials are once again denigrating scientists, and not once did they mention increasing funding for these services.

The impeachment was a farce and resulted from an obvious fishing expedition that never should have happened. However, based on the massive power difference between an intern and the literal president of the US, consent is nebulous at best, and he is a despicable person for it among other things. No one should be going to bat for Bill Clinton.
