They think they should have access to luxury, not reasonable accommodations, not humane, not affordable, but luxury amenities for the simple fact that they exist and they want them.

The red poppy does not glorify war.
It honours those who sacrificed their lives defending our freedoms. Shame on CBC for giving children the impression that remembering our fallen soldiers is somehow a celebration of war.
BREAKING: The CBC has taken down a CBC Kids video promoting rainbow poppies after Juno News questioned the broadcaster over its Remembrance Day messaging. The video told children that some people believe the traditional red poppy focuses too much on soldiers and can glorify war.

Don’t let Groypers memory hole the fact that in 2023 and 2024 they were doxxing and calling everyone to the right of them Jewish if they were even slightly hesitant about the idea of a “Christian- Muslim alliance” and didn’t care about an ethnic blood feud across the world

My Veterans, go out and get that free food you deserve it.
My Devil Dogs, happy belated 251st!
Everyone, the holiday season is among us, try to put away some anger and celebrate instead.
For strugglers, please reach out to your loved ones and friends.
There is help.
From your community leaders, religious leaders, to people just a call away.
There is help.
A lot of us suffer in silence but we don't need too.
There is help.

This zoomer pulled himself by his bootstraps and now the boomer casinos won’t pay him the money he’s owed
This 24 year old guy figured out how to beat a casino and won $800,000
The casino refused to pay him and gave him back just $50,000 and when he complained to gambling regulators, they sided with the casino.
His name is Thomas McPeek, he’s from Chicago who still lives with his parents.
Early 2024
- spends months reading sports betting books
- studies football parlays
- discovers Caesars is offering odds he believes are mathematically mispriced
He realizes he might have found a way to beat the house.
August 2024
McPeek walks into Horseshoe Casino in Indiana with around $30,000.
Instead of placing a few enormous bets, he spends an entire week making hundreds of small wagers through self-service kiosks.
(He doesn’t want the casino noticing his strategy)
By the end of the week, he’s won $350,000.
September 2024
He travels to another Caesars casino in Iowa.
Same strategy.
Another $450,000.
October 2024
McPeek returns to Horseshoe to collect his money.
But Caesars has other plans.
The casino voids his winning tickets, accusing him of coordinating bets across state lines and splitting his wagers into smaller amounts to circumvent its rules.
Instead of paying his winnings, Caesars returns his original $50,000.
And that’s it.
Another casino, Blue Chip, had already paid him $127,000 using his betting strategy.
They simply banned him from coming back.
McPeek complains to gambling regulators in Indiana and Iowa.
Both side with Caesars.
2025
McPeek takes Caesars to federal court, demanding the winnings he believes he’s owed.
Caesars argues that he violated the rules he agreed to when placing the bets and asks the court to dismiss his lawsuit.
McPeek responds:
“It’s not like I can snap my fingers and make the bets win. They still have to win.”
And he’s still fighting for his money.
Imagine spending months learning how to beat the house, actually beating it, and then being told your winning tickets don’t count.
But if those same bets had lost, would the casino have returned his $50,000?
Tbh I don’t think so.

democracy in the west has become a giant therapy session where the loudest and dumbest complainers get an outsized influence on topics in which they know nothing about and we all have to suffer for it.

And we're gonna do it all without frontier models under the control of a rent-seeking cartel that sought regulatory oversight for the sole purpose of pricing out competitors with compliance overhead.

The jet fuel hoax is so funny because it’s just a bunch of grown men doing this
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A380 fuel (~85k US gallons total) is stored in sealed integral tanks throughout the wing structure per specs and EASA data; the image mis-scales refuelers and ignores common hydrant systems or multiple trucks at airports.
