Another huge waste of money for FIFA…. Massive sections of Pacific closed off for FIFA. Why is VPD wasting time and taxpayer money enforcing road closures weeks before kickoff? Waste like this is why 13 soccer games are coming with a $1 billion tab for taxpayers.

🤣🤣🤣

@SamaHoole The wood dust is in most ice creams too, as an anti melting agent. Frozen yogurt is what happens when there's so much wood, and so little actual milk, that they can no longer get away with calling it ice cream.

"100% Grated Parmesan Cheese." That's what the label says. That is, in fact, the literal text the manufacturer has chosen to place on the front of the package. The 100% refers to a feeling, not a chemistry. In 2012, the FDA raided Castle Cheese in Pennsylvania, a major supplier of grated cheese to American supermarkets. The 100% Parmesan they were selling was 0% Parmesan. It was a blend of cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, and powdered cellulose, the last of which is, in industrial terms, wood pulp. Or to be more specific: fine fibres extracted from the cell walls of trees and processed into a flowable powder used to stop the cheese from clumping in the shaker. The Castle Cheese executive went to prison. The company went bankrupt. The practice continued. In 2016, Bloomberg commissioned independent lab testing of major American "100% Parmesan" products. Kraft's product contained 3.8% cellulose. Some Walmart and Albertsons store brands tested as high as 9%. The accepted industry threshold for "anti-clumping" cellulose use is 2 to 4%. The cheese is partly wood. The Italians, who have been making the actual cheese for a thousand years, can only sell their version under EU protection as Parmigiano Reggiano: three ingredients, milk, rennet, salt, aged in a 75-pound wheel for at least twelve months in a specific geographic region with the name burned into the rind in dotted pin lettering. The American "Parmesan" can be anything. The American "Parmesan" can be sawdust. The Italian cheese costs more. The Italian cheese is more. The price of food is sometimes the price of food being food.

The amount of RESELL tickets available for #FIFA World Cup games is insane - as everyone is selling. This is NZ/Belgium - and you can find tickets in all sections. Cheapest $400 and up. And many of the people holding tickets aren't even local!

@anon_opin Why not both?

Parents who say that schools should teach basic life skills, like managing your finances or communication skills, you do realise that's what you're meant to do? You can't just expect to offload all your parenting duties to your kids teachers.

@KamehamehaKush @Ben_iggy Do you really not understand? If so, wow.

@ChrisParry @Ben_iggy I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. People have the option of driving to those but the majority of them transit or Uber same as for FIFA.

$75 for parking. And the SkyTrain station is closed "for security reasons". FIFA is just so fucking corrupt.

@JamesMac_Fit Not all screen time is bad time. I When my son was addicted to Minecraft, I let him have more time with it if he learned how to run a Minecraft server. Then I started playing with him so I could understand the draw. He was using it to create worlds &talk to friends. Am ok with it

Dads... I need your advice. As a young dad myself, I’m genuinely worried about my son growing up addicted to screens, phones, games, etc. It feels like EVERYTHING is designed to grab their attention these days. So I want to ask: - How do you actually manage screen time in your house? - What’s worked for you? - What’s failed? Would appreciate real answers from people who’ve been there 🤝

We hate Trump like you hated Obama, but here’s the difference: we hate Trump because he’s racist; you hated Obama because you’re racist.

@maxjean__ @taherdhanera Yeah yeah, people said the same when cheap video cameras showed up and we had to sit through 1000 Tarantino ripoffs. Just because you can film it doesn't mean anyone wants to watch it.

@taherdhanera AI only scares gatekeepers who dont want anyone but them to have access

F*ck AI from a filmmaker who built entire worlds using CGI, motion capture, digital compositing, virtual cameras, and enough render farms to heat a small country is peak cinema irony., He said it like AI personally stole his Oscar. Cinema people really love technology… right until the next generation gets access to it too. When rich studios use machines: innovation. future of storytelling. cinematic evolution. When independent creators use AI: destroying art. soulless. dangerous. Now AI scares people who built careers being impossible to compete with.

@Constantin75013 @taherdhanera Noone ever stopped you telling your stories, they were just so shit nobidyy cared.

@taherdhanera subtitles: "fck blue collar artists who can finally tell their stories. End of priviledge is atrocious, Cannes of all places is the bastion for cinema bourgeoisie, and we need to protect it at all costs!"

@Rus_Khairullin Just pay your fucking taxes, dummy.

NOBODY tells you the real reason people move to Dubai. It’s not the taxes. Everyone leads with the taxes because it’s the easy answer. The real reason is quieter and harder to admit. It’s that for the first time in your life, the country is on your side. You spend 30 years in the West being treated like a suspect. Your bank watches you. Your government taxes you and resents you for earning it. The news tells you that wanting to be successful makes you the problem. Then you land here and something flips. The bank wants your business. The government wants you to build. Nobody looks at your wealth like you stole it. Nobody makes you apologize for working hard. You don’t realize how heavy that weight was until somebody takes it off your back. That’s the part the haters will never understand. They think people move here to dodge a tax bill. People actually move here to stop feeling like a criminal for doing well. 🇦🇪

Come the revolution, whoever decided to put button flies, rather than a zip, on my trousers will be first against the wall.

@GRIMMYinthe604 @Ben_iggy That's the plan. Because, unlike you, I take being mugged before I get out of the car, seriously.

@ChrisParry @Ben_iggy Maybe just don’t go then? It’s almost like you need to move to a small town far away for your own mental health. 🤷‍♂️

@KamehamehaKush @Ben_iggy Which happens every game day with no problem. Sometimes when the Canucks and Caps are both playing.

@ChrisParry @Ben_iggy Much better than having everybody try to drive downtown

@Claret94475141 @KieranMaguire @LBC I mean, duh.

@KieranMaguire @LBC Of course we in financial trouble but you doing nothing but speculation..you cant know 100% what's is and what isn't going to happen

@OMApproach @ManOfTheLibrary He's right though

@ManOfTheLibrary I'm sure your content is fire...

I get it, guys. You don't want people to complain, and you think I should find a real job and stop posting on X, but X, the global town square, promised something and did the opposite. Elon said creators should be paid more, that this would be the year of the creators, and that aggregators of news and people who steal videos from others would be punished, etc. I have always created original content, and for the videos I shared from others, such as clips of interviews, I added value and my own original take. I always made sure to add original commentary, and I never posted those nonsense TikTok viral videos. I kept posting about UAPs, esotericism, religions, the Geophysical Event, etc. Over the past two weeks, I started posting AI-generated video content to accompany my original takes and add more value. Some of those videos went viral, and people stole them and reposted them on TikTok and Facebook. Despite getting 37 million impressions, my payout was the lowest it has been in the last year (241$), as if I had stolen content or were a news aggregator. When I asked Nikita Bier to explain why, he blocked me. So now people will say that AI videos are not original content, but I came up with the ideas, and I used my credits to create those photos and videos. Other people stole them from me. I added additional value through my own analysis and take, so it is original content. I see other creators with original AI-generated videos receiving massive payouts, so apparently AI content is considered original for them. But my AI videos, which are generated specifically to support my own content, are somehow not considered original, and I'm being punished by the algorithm. Here are some of my posts in the last two weeks: I made a video about most reported alien species and compared their height: x.com/OMApproach/sta… It generated 1 million impressions. A day later, some podcaster made a clip of Hal Puthoff saying there are four races of aliens because he saw my post, and others made copies of my video using the exact same height-comparison template. So who is stealing content or ideas? I made an original video recreation of the event described by Ross Coulthart, so I added value. It took a lot of credits to create, and I spent hours writing prompts to get the video: x.com/OMApproach/sta… It got 1.4 million impressions. I made this video of giant, 3-mile-high waves hitting the Andes during the Geophysical Event, with the oceans spilling onto the continent, to portray how the Andes might have preserved the ancient Nephilim and why Magellan's crew reportedly encountered giants. The post generated 1.1 million views x.com/OMApproach/sta… Post about the Biblical New Jerusalem, comparing its height with North America, Europe, and Africa: 657K views: x.com/OMApproach/sta… The crew of Magelan encountering the giants (true story), 412k views: x.com/OMApproach/sta… Post about the Book of Enoch and why early Christianity said that the Nephilim were the children of the Fallen Angels, and how later Christianity changed this interpretation to the children of Seth. 928k reach x.com/OMApproach/sta… Post about Operations Paperclip and Highjump and the expedition to Antarctica: 2.4 million views x.com/OMApproach/sta… Post about the containers of the soul and the claims of Bob Lazar and the Amazonian tribes: 1.3 million views. x.com/OMApproach/sta… Original video about Ezekiel and the meaning of the angels, 926k views x.com/OMApproach/sta… I have more; I just highlighted these. I have created original content based on my interpretations of ancient texts and esoteric knowledge, as well as my interest in the UAP phenomenon gathered over the years, only for X to place me in the content-stealing group and even limit my reach. I know that my content is not for everyone, but we can't all be crypto and political gurus. There are people who want to read these kinds of takes. People say that complaining about reach and payouts gets you a ton of attention, but not in my case. These posts usually get 10 likes because the people who follow me are not interested in the algorithm. Because I'm heavily censored here and my work has no value, I have to look for alternatives. I don't know what to do. I will definitely post less because I worked more than 12 hours a day building my account so more people could learn about the Geophysical Event, but I can't pay the bills like this. I should have made more YouTube content and never trusted Elon and his freedom of speech platform. I also think they are looking for ways to either demonetize me or delete my account. I don't know how to continue from here...
