"Muslims are CRAZY except the ones that happen to be our allies they are cool but the ones that are at odds with Israel are CRAZY!!!!"

It's reductionist but Muslims haven't really set a precedent for not sperging out the instant they're free to choose their own leaders, but if they're under a long-running monarchy or dictatorship they're mostly kept in line. The big issue was the Saudis exporting their extremist sect of Islam all over the place which hit harder in the poorer states and piss-weak democracies, but they started to drift away from it in the late 2010s.

You can actually attempt to make a game out of daisy chaining from "alright" to "shithole" with the Muslim states that border each other, starting from Morocco ("alright"), into Algeria ("shithole"), Tunisia ("alright"), Libya, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and so on. Disparity in QOL, secularism, and friendliness to the West amongst its people can vary wildly from state to state.

their attack against Israel in October 2024.

It's over...

My 2 cents. I went to the ER in pain probably a year ago. Thought it was my appendix or something. After sitting for an hour a nurse comes in and says "ayo I gotchu pain medicine" and I thought to ask what it was. It was fentanyl. I immediately declined. I later heard other nurses saying how they've been carrying fent around all day in their pocket and someone better take it before they leave. opioid shit is out of hand and people are getting on it from casual visits to the ER or post routine surgeries. I couldn't believe they were going to give me that for the pain I was in

Two times my dad has gone to the hospital for pain. Once in his wrist which the doctor said was initially broken, then a second doctor said it was a strain, which it was. Other time was pain in his ankle, which again they initially said was a break, but now it’s a sprain. I sincerely hate hospitals these days. I’ve had plenty of my own shit experiences as well but really no point to go that deep.

I think it'll end with true Promise 3, I can't see Iran attacking neutral third countries

I hope you are right, if it's a strike I hope it stops there.

 

[NoReturn]

Why are so many of them obese? It’s like none of these Mexicans ever bothered to lift or do cardio.

Myrtle my Turtle. Let me introduce you to something very interesting.

This here is Yalitza Aparicio. She's from southern Mexico, I want you to take a good look and understand that this is what a "Native Mexican" from that area looks like when there's little to no Euro in it.


Note things like the rib cage. No amount of starving herself will shrink it or make her taller. It is what it is. (Though that doesn't stop people like the Demon of Miami from trying to pathologize it and get women with this body type to mutilate their ribs.)

They are a "sturdy" people, that's the explanation for why the fat sits where it is.

As for why the fat exists, there are a lot of elements there. Part of it is a similar phenomenon to what happened to the Italian Americans who came over and then suddenly had access to ingredients that were once luxuries and used them to create new things that weren't "authentically Italian" but reflected the flavor preferences of the Italian people.

I say all this because while it would be reductive and dismissive to say "Because they're just a bunch of big stupid fatties", the culture they came from did lead to shit like:

Bisabuela: "I can afford beef now! I'm going to put ground beef in with these spices and make chili."
Abuela: "Tortillas and pre-shredded are being sold in stores now. This saves me so much time and I can make even more food for my family."
Mom: "The TV man says Fruity Pebbles are part of a complete breakfast. It must be true. I'll have cereal for breakfast and make tacos for dinner."
Child: "I grew up with hyperpalatable foods and my culture is 'cool' now. I'm going to snack on takis, drink Jarritos, and then get street tacos fried in canola oil."

And also, you know, corn syrup and seed oils, same as everyone else.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Hot take: If you are a small business owner and you employ illegal aliens. I have zero sympathy for you.

I agree. However I want to see an audit of the verification services these businesses use. I suspect there is fraud there and business owners may be being lied to about their employees.

 

[Not an Hero]

Soda. Dude, Mexicans love coke and shit. Also all their food is cheese and deep fried.

Ever been to one of those Mexican little snack shops? An Agua Fresca alone has like ten million pounds of sugar in it. Want a cafe? That requires a bag of azucar.

Flamin Hot Cheetos are a garnish, goddammit. Diets like these are more American than the average American's.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

I wasn't really aware of that either. I think you are pulling my leg.

Keep in mind that these are regular-sized horses. The warhorse breed of old is effectively extinct, about as close as you can get are some of the smaller draft horses, and if you think the horses the cops are riding would make people move, you can kinda feel a charging draft horse since they're about 50-100% heavier. Less angry and much easier to bribe with food though. If you haven't been around them, you really can't understand just how much of an asshole a horse can be, they're like very clever, flightier dogs with an attitude.

 

[Coo Coo Bird]

I think Steve has a horse fetish.

Before autists sperged about computers, they sperged about trains. And before they sperged about trains, they sperged about horses.

Embrace tradition.

Stop posting fake Ben Garrison edits. Here's the real unedited comic in context since people keep posting the FAKE, JEWISH TROLL EDITS!

 

[The Secret Sauce]

Gov. Ron DeSantis says that Floridians are ALLOWED to drive over protesters in the street, if they feel like their life is in danger..

Not nearly far enough tbh. The law should be "if some fag decides to express his political ideas by blocking off a road, we will make his next-of-kin buy a brand new car for you."

 

[The First Amendment]

Have their spirits finally broken?

 

[SpergioLeonne]

"Peasant" food in general is either cheap, easy to make, high in calories, or some combination thereof. Empanadas? Beans and rice? Coke with cane sugar? That's for working the fields. Mexicans are hooked on Coca Cola in particular, thinking it's healthier than water. In some places, it's more accessible than water. They have a similarly high obesity rate because of it.

They are our brothers in obesity. Pacific Islanders right behind them

I want to know what kind of poverty it takes to be a country that runs on vodka and pierogis and not be in the top ten

 

[FieldPiece]

Hot take: If you are a small business owner and you employ illegal aliens. I have zero sympathy for you.

Hard agree. The framer boss at my jobsite started whining because apparently like 1/3 of his guys got deported. The fucking baffling thing is apparently they were paying illegal spics 17 an hour for framing, the most braindead construction job there is short of drywall. So it's not even that they work for less, the fucking Plumber apprentices don't even make that much. They're literally hiring illegals so they don't have to pay taxes.

Edit: I specify plumbers apprentices because they have to go through so much bullshit, their journeymen are always on their ass for some reason and always talking shit. Granted most of it is in jest but holy fuck can plumbers be mean compared to HVAC and Electricians.

LAPD has a group of about 20 rioters kettled in and ready to make some arrests in downtown Los Angeles!

Buses can be seen in the area

Average riding horse today is around 1100 lbs. Plus the officers on top.

 

[The One Who Sneeds]

Flamin Hot Cheetos are a garnish, goddammit

This is a real thing, by the way. I've seen a shop that sold ramen with flaming hot Cheetos on top of it. I wonder how people eat this actual slop. It's horrifying. The place was owned by some Mexicans btw

 

[No-Eyed Square Guy]

Fuck off, Rand. Just fuck off.

You are not your Dad.

He's much more of a faggot, and Democrats hate him even more for it, beat him up in his yard and chase him through the streets.

This pleases me.

Hey GOY, don't forget to pay 30% of your employees' wages to us (plus tip). Don't you go getting any crazy ideas about hiring a beaner and keeping that money for yourself, now!
