Your Alex Jones gifs do not compute with me. I barely know who he is.

The Batlord 12-22-2021 07:25 PM

I'm sure he will use this article or one like it to claim (((the globalists))) are going to implant chips in Americans as a Satanist plot to control and/or kill The Patriots and he has a whole stack of classified documents that prove it *audibly shakes handful of blank paper*.

Trollheart 12-22-2021 07:32 PM

Well that's a given, not to mention he and his buddies (assuming this is all QAnon ****) will be screaming "SEE! SEE? WE TOLD YOU! CHIPS IN THE VACCINE MAN, CHIPS IN THE VACCINE!"

Gonna be a long year...

The Batlord 12-22-2021 08:08 PM

Nah he's kinda anti-QAnon. Probably cause they're moving in on his right wing grift. I think he tried to be Q-pilled but it was too much it's own thing for him to co-opt so he just declared it to be a globalist op even though there isn't any fundamental difference between what he spouts and what QAnon spouts. It's really dumb basically.

He is super anti-vax though. A globalist plot to murder everyone.

Iranian parliament proposes legislation to ban pets.

Quote:

In November of this year, the Iranian government proposed a law that would ban pets in the country. The Protection of the Public’s Right Against Animals was introduced by a group of 75 legislators who described pet owners as “a destructive social problem.” The new law would ban the breeding, buying, and selling of wild, exotic, and dangerous animals. The problem is the definition of these animals extends beyond the animals that might typically fall into that category.
In addition to objectively exotic or dangerous animals like monkeys and crocodiles, the ban would apply to cats, mice, rabbits, and dogs. If passed into law, the ban would result in pet owners facing fines equivalent to 10 to 30 times the monthly minimum working wage in addition to the loss of the animal and (for three months) the vehicle used to transport it.
Some suggest the idea behind the law is rooted in Islamic law which considered dogs to be impure. When it comes to cats and other pets, however, the waters are muddied. Cats have long been beloved in the Muslim faith. In fact, according to some myths, the prophet Muhammad himself outlawed the killing or persecuting of cats. As such, the proposed ban has sparked outrage among pet owners and animal lovers alike. Only time will tell what fate awaits felines and their friends in Iran.

So now they can ignore what their prophet said - specifically ordered - if it's inconvenient? Sounds like right-wing Christians to me. Where does this go next I wonder? Fullscale animal hunts, culling strays, festivals of slaughter of pets? And what happens to those who have pets? Are they to be surrendered and euthanised? And will such mass killings not cost their revenue more than if people had just kept their pets? ****s.

Well, I guess it's proof that you get what you vote for, or in Iran's case, overthrow for.

Metals conduct electricity and inserting them into live electrical sockets can cause electric shocks, fires and other damage.

And now Amazon have switched all their Alexas from EVIL back to GOOD... :rolleyes:
"As soon as we realised our Alexas were challenging people to risk their lives we changed them immediately. Well, as soon as we were told and worried it might impact our sales. We wouldn't do something like that off our own bat."

Ex-reality star who made $200,000 selling her farts in jars reveals she was rushed to the ER with HEART ATTACK symptoms - only to learn severe chest pains were caused by excess gas

Quote:

Steph Matto, 31, from Connecticut, recently found herself in the emergency room after experiencing shooting pains in her chest.

Concerned doctors ran tests but later told the 90 Day Fiancé star that the symptoms were actually caused by excess gas.

She began selling her farts back in November, after receiving requests on the adult-content site Unfiltrd.

She charged $1,000 for the unique product, and made $200,000 in total from the business venture.

To keep up with demand – which saw her producing up to 50 jars worth of farts a week – the self-proclaimed 'fartrepreneur' opted for a high-fiber diet.

She lived off mostly beans and eggs, and later added protein shakes to the mix after discovering it made the farts smell worse.

In the end, doctors told her she was experiencing 'very intense gas pains' and was advised to change her diet, which in turn ended her business.

And she's selling them for crypto. Might make more money if she just created her own crypto.

She could call it "$hitcoin."
