Meme - "Let's learn the differences between chubby, curvy, fat, and hambeast.
CHUBBY. Chubby girls tend to be rounder all around, but still tend to look more on the average side. Unlike curvy. which has a thin waist. chubby girls lack the same amount of definition that a curvy girl does, but still maintains a semi-curvy figure. Chubby girls may or may not have rolls, most of the time will have larger boobs and butt.
CURVY. Most of the fat stored in a curvy girl is in the breasts and her hips/ass. Curvy girls tend to be thin mostly everywhere else, thing arms, face, waist. These giris tend to be toned and well defined.
FAT. Fat is a level higher than chubby, when excess rolls on the body begin to form. Fat girls tend to have very large boobs and very large butts.
HAMBEAST. Hambeast is exceeding the limit on the definition of "fat". Unlike the other three, hambeasts are generally catergorized for their lack of shape and hygiene. Due to this lack of hygiene and shape, hambeasts are said to be monstrous and horrifying creatures. The only thing that seperates fat and hambeast is apperance and personality."

Jon and Carie Hallford plead guilty to corpse abuse charges: Reports - "The Colorado funeral home owners that had nearly 200 decomposing bodies at their facility pleaded guilty... A further investigation revealed that about 190 bodies, which were in various states of decomposition, had been stored in the building, according to authorities. "Some of the remains discovered had dates of death as far back as 2019," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in an October news release. "As part of their fraud scheme, the Hallfords misled customers of the funeral home into believing that the remains of their loved ones would be buried or cremated per their wishes and the terms of the partiesâ contracts." The family-owned and operated funeral home advertised that they performed "green" natural burials without embalming chemicals or metal caskets. Prosecutors said the Hallfords defrauded families across the country by "not providing a cremation or burial for the deceased as promised." According to prosecutors, the Hallfords allegedly gave families dry concrete instead of ashes, collected more than $130,000 from families for cremations and burials they never performed. In addition, the Hallfords allegedly buried the wrong body on at least two occasions."
Tulsi Gabbard Criticizes Harris, Then Suddenly - TSA 'Retaliation' - "âThis is a clear act of political retaliation. There is no other way to put it,â thatâs how former Democrat presidential candidate and Lieutenant Colonel Tulsi Gabbard describes her placement on a Transportation Security Administration threat list â just a day after she criticized Kamala Harris on a Fox News Program. Multiple Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers have come forward to claim that Gabbard had been enrolled in TSAâs Quiet Skies program on July 23, a day after she criticized Harris on-air... Reports claim at least five agents and two explosive detection canine teams were following Gabbard and her husband last month."
Tulsi Gabbard, Rand Paul Placed on List of Russian Propagandists by Ukraine - Newsweek - "Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard have been listed by Ukraine among a number of American politicians, academics and activists Kyiv claims have promoted "Russian propaganda." The list was compiled by the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation, founded in 2021 by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to study the impact of Russian disinformation. The center is part of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council. The listâwhich also includes retired U.S. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, military strategist Edward Luttwak, political scientist John Mearsheimer and journalist Glenn Greenwaldâdoes not explain what the consequences are for those who Ukraine clearly considers responsible for promoting the Kremlin's line. But it offers explanations for inclusion on the list... "I am surprised that the blacklist did not include the Pope, Henry Kissinger, Noam Chomsky, Jeffrey Sachs, Stephen Walt, Barry Posen, and other prominent figures who have made arguments similar to mine and others already on the list," Mearsheimer told Newsweek. Luttwak also objected to the label of Russian propagandist. Talking to UnHerd, he said he was not "exactly Putin's most faithful agent," saying he has argued for Western powers to send weapons to Ukraine since "day one of the war."... As well as U.S. citizens, the list of "Russian propagandists" includes political figures, experts and public figures from Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Poland and France. Other Americans on the list are: political and business advisor Harlan Ullman, author Paul Pillar, economists Jeffrey Sachs and Steve Hanke, political analyst Brian Berletic, academics Patrick Basham and Clifford Kiracofe, former army officer David Payne, ex-diplomat Michael Springmann, retired intelligence officer Scott Ritter, finance specialist Jason Ross, businessman Mike Callicrate, politicians Geoff Young and Diane Sare, journalists Caleb Maupin and Tony Magliano, retired business consultant George Koo, Republican former Senate staffer Jim Jatras, former CIA officer Ray McGovern, former Virginia State Senator Richard Black and political analyst Graham Fuller."

Why has badminton become a code for sex in Hong Kong? - "It may be an innocent enough racquet sport, but Hong Kong's Education Bureau has unintentionally given badminton a whole new meaning. In teaching materials it released last week, a module titled adolescents and intimate relationships for Secondary Year 3, suggested that teenagers who wanted to have sex with each other could "go out to play badminton together" instead. The materials also include a form called "My Commitment" aimed at getting "young lovers" to attest that they would exercise "self-discipline, self-control, and resistance to pornography". The new materials have raised eyebrows and attracted criticism for being "out of touch". But officials have defended the decision. Meanwhile social media has been flooded with jokes centered around "playing badminton"... To Thomas Tang, who is an amateur badminton player, the jokes and sudden increased interest in the sport have made it slightly embarrassing for players like him. "In the past this was just a healthy sport, but now if you ask people to play badminton they make a lot of jokes," he said, adding that the irony was that badminton was actually a good way for guys to meet girls. The Education Bureau documents also told teachers that one of the objectives of the module was to help students master ways of coping with sexual fantasies and impulses, and the module was not created to encourage them to start dating or engaging in sexual behaviour. Some suggested discussion activities in the documents include advising students to "dress appropriately to present a healthy image and to avoid visual stimulation from sexy clothing", and "firmly refuse sex before marriage" if they are unable to cope with the "consequences of premarital sex"."

The Disgusting Truth About Mao Zedong's Personal Hygiene - "the man was chronically constipated. As Ludwig describes, the chairman's bodyguards were "trained not only to protect him against enemies but also to give him enemas if they failed" at prying the stubborn poop from his butt with their fingers first. Even Mao's poops were regarded as special occasions. At the end of a nine-day bout of constipation his employees rejoiced, "The chairman's bowels have moved!" Having to unclog a dictators butt by hand must have been horrific enough. But it must have been especially horrendous in Mao's case because he had the personal hygiene of a garbage dump... The doctor revealed that the dictator never brushed his teeth, which turned green. His infected gums gushed pus. When encouraged to brush his not-at-all pearly greens, Mao growled, "Does a tiger brush his teeth?" The chairman preferred to rinse his mouth with tea and chew leaves like peasants did. He seemed to revel in his grossness As detailed in King of the Mountain, Mao once reached into his pants "to pick lice off his body deliberately" while being interviewed by a female reporter. He also considered bathing "a waste of time." And since Mao already spent much of his precious time expelling waste due to constipation, it comes as no surprise that he only occasionally gave people's nostrils a reprieve when he went for a swim and toweled off. Li blamed the chairman's deep-seated opposition to soap and water on a "three-bath philosophy" that Chinese peasants allegedly adopted: "A bath at birth, one before marriage and one at death." However, the Independent mentions one other exception that appears in Li's tell-all. The congenitally filthy dictator claimed to clean his genitals by showering himself with women. Or as the chairman crudely put it, "I wash myself in the bodies of my women." To make matters more revolting, Chairman Lice Crotch reportedly rivaled China's Yellow Emperor, who allegedly "deflower[ed] 1,000 virgins." In exchange for taking them to bed, he gave some of them a "minor venereal disease." Li urged him to take medication so that his partners didn't keep getting the short end of Mao's disease-infested stick. But true to form, the chairman acted like a massive dictator, dismissively insisting, "If it doesn't bother me, it doesn't matter." And since Mao didn't exhibit symptoms, it didn't bother him. One of the giant ironies of Mao's reign is that he waged a major campaign that promoted peasant hygiene, improved sanitation, and reduced STDs. Per the Journal of Global Health, the communicable disease control (CDC) implemented under Mao led to a huge boost in life expectancy and dramatic drops in infant mortality, STDS, and other maladies. NPR reports that he remedied a shortage of competent doctors by organizing a system of so-called "barefoot doctors" who had basic medical training and augmented their knowledge with a rigorous three-to-six-month crash course. These insta-physicians were dispersed to villages."

The Kansas Budget Experience from 2012 to 2017. - "In 2012, Kansas was the first state to eliminate pass-through business income taxes for LLCs, partnerships, and S-corporations. It also lowered the personal income tax rate in its 2012 and 2013 legislative sessions. Proponents of the tax cuts argued that they would stimulate the economy by creating jobs at a higher than historical rate and would thus have a minimal effect on the budget. This research documents when legislators began discussing the tax cut proposals through the repeal of the tax cuts. The consequences of the tax cuts was a significant decline in income tax that led to a structural deficit in the Kansas budget. The defi cit necessitated an extended series of diffi cult choices for legislators on how to balance the budget. The tax cuts also led to credit downgrades, increasing debt, and a series of lawsuits over court funding of K-12 schools, among other problems. Studying the Kansas experience is important because several states and the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 followed this model of tax cuts."
The Short-term Effects of the Kansas Income Tax Cuts on Employment Growth - "The state of Kansas made dramatic changes to the structure of its personal income tax by eliminating taxation of business income and lowering marginal tax rates on other personal income sources. Proponents of the legislation maintain that the tax reductions will stimulate employment growth. Using a difference-in-differences approach, we estimate the impact of the tax changes on private-sector employment in the state of Kansas, relative to its border states, using data on the number of establishment employees and proprietors. We apply multistate county fixed effect model and county-border matching approaches to identify tax effects. Our findings indicate that two years post enactment, the tax law changes have not yielded a net increase in private-sector employment."

How to Live for Free in Beijing: An Artistâs Guide - "Like many art students, Zou Yaqi often worried sheâd be unable to afford to live in Beijing after graduation. So, earlier this year, she decided to set herself a daunting challenge: Survive in the city for three weeks without spending a single yuan. It turned out to be a piece of cake. The 23-year-old spent most of May living the high life: gorging on buffets in VIP lounges, sipping wine at exclusive events, and sleeping on plush sofas in the lobbies of five-star hotels. She ended up sticking to her zero-yuan budget with ease. The secrets to her success? A fake HermĂšs handbag, bright red lipstick, and a velour designer tracksuit â all of which helped Zou pose as a member of Chinaâs wealthy social elite. She found that when she was disguised as a mingyuan â or âsocialiteâ â businesses would let her exploit their hospitality without question... authorities vowed to âadjustâ excessively high incomes and force the rich to âgive back to society.â... While Zou said her stunt was intended as a criticism of capitalism and consumerism, many critics have accused her of being unaware of her own privilege. Her experiences as a student at one of Chinaâs elite arts colleges, the theory goes, allowed her to pass as a socialite with ease. âWhat enables her to accomplish her performance art is precisely her class,â wrote one user on Weibo. âEverything â her makeup, choice of props, successful repartee in each place, and the individual image she presented â come from the invisible accumulation (of cultural capital) prior to the experiment.â... After she began studying at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, this feeling grew. Zou says she became increasingly fascinated by the excess on display at the campus. During exhibition openings, hungry students like herself would âmadlyâ eat the caviar-topped canapes on offer, while other well-heeled visitors ignored them. âThose elegant people barely ate them, and theyâd go to waste,â Zou says. âWe were stuffing ourselves till we were full, like we were at a free buffet.â Zou coined a term to describe this phenomenon: âexcessive goods.â An âexcessive goodâ could be anything that is given to the wealthy for free, but is inaccessible to the non-wealthy. A complimentary snack at a swanky bar. A free gift at a luxury store. A bottle of wine at an invitation-only dinner. To Zou, these âexcessive goodsâ were a potent symbol of the wealth gap. They were seemingly everywhere, yet the capitalâs high-rollers barely noticed them. Often, they ended up being thrown away... âIâm more cautious and casual in daily life, but I had to present an elegant, haughty, and self-confident image,â says Zou... Zou was caught off-guard when the story began to focus on her own background, and social media commenters started to describe her as a mingyuan in a different â and much less pleasant â sense. The word mingyuan has become ubiquitous in Chinese media in recent months, and the meaning of the word has begun to morph. No longer simply a term to describe true socialites, it has acquired classist and sexist connotations. Increasingly, itâs used as a derogatory term to describe women who flaunt fake wealth in order to get attention."
Opinion: TD Bankâs âLOLâ culture reverses two generations of southward expansion - The Globe and Mail - "The most striking thing about U.S. Attorney-General Merrick Garlandâs takedown of Toronto-Dominion Bank TD-T on Thursday wasnât the criminal conviction, the massive US$3.09-billion in penalties or the freeze on future growth in the U.S. market. The shocking element of Mr. Garlandâs press-conference critique was the TD employee e-mails he read aloud... Time after time, year after year, TD branch staff, managers and compliance officials joked about laundering money for drug dealers. In three separate e-mails that Mr. Garland read aloud at the press conference, TD employeesâ reaction to suspicious activity, such as customers dropping off $1-million in cash and withdrawing the same day in cheques, was to send a note ending with LOL â laugh out loud â to colleagues. âIn one instance a compliance employee asked a manager what âthe bad guysâ thought about the bank. The manager replied: âLol. Easy target,â â Mr. Garland said. When bankers consistently tack âLOLâ to e-mails and texts about working with criminals, there is a serious problem... Going forward, 97,000 TD employees will understand dropping LOL into an internal e-mail is a career-ending move."

Commentary: Donât dismiss the fury over Fukushimaâs water - "Japan of all countries should be empathetic in dealing with the sometimes irrational opposition that nuclear energy can generate. For decades, US nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers visiting local ports had to give authorities 24 hoursâ notice so that geiger checks could be carried out - despite more than 1,000 dockings passing without incident. A 20-minute unapproved arrival in 2001 prompted the countryâs foreign minister to temporarily call off such visits. In the 1960s, even agreed visits often prompted thousands of demonstrators to turn out. That unique political environment is inseparable from the fact that Japan is the only nation that has had atomic weapons used against it. You would have expected the nation that razed Hiroshima and Nagasaki to be a little accommodating of local sentiments on this issue. Even so, the USâ observance of the radiological theatre around ship visits was a potent example that, in diplomacy, listening and pragmatism are usually more important than being right... As recently as 2015, then-prime minister Shinzo Abe told a delegation of island leaders meeting some 40km from the Fukushima plant âto support Japan's effort without being misled by rumoursâ. That sort of scolding response was thankfully absent in his successor Fumio Kishidaâs summit on the sidelines of the Group of Seven meeting earlier this month with Prime Minister Mark Brown of the Cook Islands. Pacific leaders, in turn, appear to have been mollified by the greater transparency and dialogue. Thereâs a lesson here for nuclear advocates, too. Itâs common now for supporters of an enhanced role for nuclear energy to dismiss the safety regulation around atomic plants as an unnecessary and costly imposition that must be swept away, sparking a renaissance of atomic power. Thatâs an unrealistic and ultimately counterproductive ambition. Every form of major infrastructure has to deal with public opinion, and in a democracy you donât get to rule whether your opponentsâ arguments are valid enough. Thatâs a problem for renewables as much as nuclear. Europe closed nine factories for wind turbine parts between 2018 and 2022, according to Bloomberg, as demand slumped in a region that has effectively outlawed onshore wind farms from swathes of its territory."

Fury as council worker removes chocolate eggs left for park Easter hunt - "A council worker confiscated chocolate eggs hidden for children to find. A âkind-heartedâ resident hid 30 eggs in parks around Melksham, Wilts, for children on Easter Sunday. But the hunt was ruined when a âjobsworthâ from the town council seized the chocolate eggs â some of which also had ÂŁ20 notes inside â because of health and safety fears... âI had two eggs and he told me I couldnât keep them because they werenât safe. I replied that it was really about the money inside them. He claimed he didnât know any had money in them so I just handed them over, called him a jobsworth and walked away.â The council has now apologised and said it had returned the eggs to where they had been taken... âI understand that over 30 eggs were removed from various park locations around Melksham this morning. This action was taken on health and safety grounds as our operatives were concerned the eggs might not be safe to eat."
Damn right wing media trying to remove worker protections!
