We also have actual flying cars but they consume so much energy that they can only fly for a few minutes. Turns out rolling wheels is a lot more energy efficient than lifting up a 2000 pound vehicle.

Germany certainly does not have its beaches loaded with topless women. There might be one or two (usually elderly) women sunbathing topless but that is about it. Even when making it fully legal to go topless, most women choose to cover up their nipples.

Well, yeah. Complimenting someones biceps is also a fairly normal thing to do. But not breasts One is sexual. The other is not. The more sexual the compliment gets the more inappropriate. Further reinforcing the point that breasts are sexual.

Of course everyone knows they are sexual. Making this whole dance around the subject a bit ridiculous.

Is there? The only thing considered weird is staring at people who you are not having a conversation with. People can stare at shoes and check them out. People stare at everything other people mean to show off. Clothes exist to hide the things people do not want to show.

So if women want to wear clothes showing off their breasts then I am quite certain they want people to look at those breasts. So then why should people suddenly not look at them?

That is strange because I never see full boobs in any of the things you mentioned

 

In Shirley's video, which X reports has more than 116 million views, the rightwing influencer visits various day cares, including the ABC Learning Center. The video asserts that the day care is always empty.

On the day Shirley came to the center, the time stamps on the day care's security tapes show that he arrived around noon. WCCO reviewed security footage showing families evidently arriving to drop off their children earlier that morning and later in the afternoon.

When Shirley knocked on the door, he seemed to fabricate a reason for being there, asking to check a child into the day care. A staff member responds verbally but doesn't let him in; Hasan said that they can't allow strangers into an active day care. In addition, he said that Shirley had a team of up to eight people with him. Some were masked, according to Hasan, which set off alarm bells for his staff members, given recent ICE activity.

CBS News conducted its own analysis of nearly a dozen day care centers mentioned by Shirley: all but two have active licenses, according to state records, and all active locations were visited by state regulators within the last six months.

We all know this is false. Boobs are not shown on beaches for a reason. The are sexually attractive. Male nipples are not.

Why should men not stare at things women are intentionally showing them?

Because the mom & pop shops are in the same class as the billionaire walmarts?

People fell for Graham Platner they will sure fall for this.

And the companies faking revenue instead of profit.

 

Woman of the Year Accurso is officially one of the world’s most influential entertainers. She has now outraged Israel lobby groups by daring to empathise with — and weep over — the tens of thousands of Palestinian children maimed and murdered during the post-October 2023 phase of the genocide.

Accurso, who is Jewish, stated that “constant attacks” by ‘StopAntisemitism’ had led to the spike in threats hurled at her. This comes after the account accused her of “Hamas-aligned propaganda.” The propaganda referred to is her posts and videos about the suffering of Palestinian children. Also for raising funds to help them.

 

The government of Canada is adamant — with certain, shifting caveats — that it has not allowed arms shipments to Israel since January 2024, and yet Israeli import data and publicly available shipping records appear to contradict that claim.

The data was uncovered by a group of researchers from four NGOs: World Beyond War, the Palestinian Youth Movement, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East and Independent Jewish Voices.

They found entries in the database of the Israel Tax Authority that show Canadian goods continuing to enter Israel, described by the Israeli government as military weapon parts and ammunition.

"This report lays bare, without a doubt, the true extent of Canada's ongoing material support for Israel amidst this genocide," said Yara Shoufani of the Palestinian Youth Movement at a news conference in Ottawa on Tuesday morning.

 

The Afghan national suspected of shooting two National Guard members near the White House on Wednesday had worked with the CIA, the agency’s director said, according to Fox News Digital.

The comments come amid an investigation into the shooting near the White House, which officials described as a targeted ambush. The Guard members, who have not been identified, remain in critical condition.

Intelligence sources told Fox that the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, had ties with various entities in the U.S. government, including the CIA, due to his work as a member of a partner force in Kandahar before the U.S. withdrawal.
