“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift
Here’s a breakdown for some of the popular ones; almond milk is problematic for its water usage, but even accounting for locale, it doesn’t even come close to dairy milk.
That is, don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “better” if your choice of milk is part of your environmentalism and you like almond milk.
You can just say fusion reactor
The Times of India is a rag that literally accepts bribes for positive coverage; sensationalist garbage is their bread and butter.
But it gets worse: this story is over two years out-of-date.
The KSTAR Research Center at the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) announced on the 20th that during the ‘2023 KSTAR Plasma Campaign’ conducted from December of last year to February of this year [2024], it achieved a 48-second operation of ultra-high-temperature plasma at an ion temperature of 100 million degrees and a record 102-second operation in high-confinement mode (H-mode).
This happened back in 2024. Here’s a paper.

Welcome to industrialization
Industrialization in the form of the cotton gin was one of the main reasons slavery was so profitable in the South. What are you talking about?
Mhm.

Well the first thing he said to them was “I will make you fishers of men”, so he wanted them to get used to changing identities.

That’s a great question, with a lot of possibilities for insightful discussion. You appear to be referencing interrogation footage of the Parkland high school shoo

I’ll. Always. Be here.

I bet 1/3 of you neighbors have at least one person in their house that is a heavy drug user.
That is a strange fucking bet and one that’s definitely wrong. Let alone that not a single neighbor I’ve ever met does anything like this person if what I read on their profile is even remotely true. Maybe this is true in some places, but you just assuming like that is really weird.
Even if 100% of my neighbors in a mile radius were tweaking on an intravenous four-narcotic soup, that doesn’t change the fact that this person needs inpatient help. I’m not going to link it so we can all treat someone at the lowest point of their life – clearly in desperate need of intervention and harming no one (although I’d be very concerned about driving if they are driving) – like a sideshow atttaction, but they’re talking about abusing midazolam, alprazolam, MDMA, using seroquel to crash after a meth binge – like I can just keep going even after all the shit I already listed above. They claim they think they got caught at work and think people know, which would make some sense as a combination of paranoia and people just actually being able to tell.
No neighbor of mine is so high-functioning on all this shit that I couldn’t tell if I saw them.
Not going to post it here, but it is out there: I found and checked the Reddit profile. I don’t know what “Charlie Kirk memorial” they’re talking about given I don’t see any posts or comments from them older than 10 days (and this screenshot only seems to have taken off recently). I couldn’t find the actual post; maybe it was removed by moderators. If what they’re saying is true, they’re on much heavier shit than just meth: they have one post talking about an intravenous cocktail of morphine, meth, PCP, and DMT. Another comment where they talk about how they kept themselves up for days with mephedrone and then took ketamine. Benzodiazepine abuse. Etc.
Whatever’s going on here, this person needs to be in a hospital.
(Edit: I did find one outlier post from 7 months ago. Nothing related to Kirk, though. Edit 2: And yes, the post was removed.)
I agree: you’d probably pawn the gold off to some billionaire for some nominal amount less than its face value. (Would the government let you as a private citizen just sell them like $70 million in gold?) I’m assuming this is legal and in-the-clear, and it doesn’t matter if we assume it was created out of thin air.
I say “less than” because the buyers know you probably lack connections and just want it gone ASAP so you’re not robbed or worse. Still, whatever percentage hit you take can’t be anywhere near the 40% difference between the cash and the gold, and you’d probably dump it so quick that the investment opportunity cost wouldn’t matter.
Edit: Although if we assumed this was secret but entirely legal (like I somehow had $50 million but nobody but the revenue service knew), then I could maybe stomach the $20 million loss in exchange for less attention. Still, you’d be drawing a lot of suspicion trying to get that 500 kg of $100 bills into an account (or multiple) before you get found out.
Given everything going on with CBS, here’s the article from the Associated Press syndicated in the linked article (seemingly updated a couple hours after the CBS-syndicated version).
I was even going to accuse them of doing this to favor Elon Musk’s competing product, but they were among 37 states cracking down on Grok’s manufacture and distribution of CSAM earlier this year. Although I’m unsure how that’s gone since.
Were the bologna and the asbestos condoms at any point related?
