This woman talked about taking high doses of cinnamon and lifting heavy things to force a miscarriage, lost the baby, buried him in a shallow grave, then “mourned” him on Facebook and CNN is trying to make her a victim.

Who specifically is the asshole who added DEI lies to Academy Awards eligibility instead of it just being about making the best movie?

Think you’ve mastered the art of tactical espionage? Even the most seasoned operatives might have missed these legendary details from the 1998 masterpiece, Metal Gear Solid. ​From breaking the fourth wall to revolutionary art choices, here are 10 things you didn’t know about the game that changed everything: Metal Gear Solid on PSX! 1-​The Anti-Piracy Package: Before digital downloads, Hideo Kojima found a genius way to combat piracy. To find Meryl’s codec frequency, players had to look at a screenshot on the back of the physical CD case. If you had a bootleg copy, you were stuck in the dark! 2-​Yoji Shinkawa’s Iconic Ink: The striking, ethereal cover art wasn't a digital render. It was created by lead artist Yoji Shinkawa using traditional ink and brush calligraphy, giving the game its distinct, gritty identity. 3-​A Cinematic Vision: Kojima’s primary goal was to make the game feel like a Hollywood blockbuster. He utilized "letterboxing" in cutscenes and focused on dramatic camera angles that were unheard of in gaming at the time. 4-​The Psycho Mantis Mind-Read: In one of the most famous fourth-wall breaks in history, Psycho Mantis would "read your mind" by scanning your PlayStation Memory Card. If you played Castlevania or Suikoden, he’d call you out on it! 5-​Controller Telekinesis: During that same boss fight, Mantis would ask you to put your controller on the floor, then use the DualShock vibration to "move" it with his mind. 6-​The "Cigarette" Timer: While the NES version used cigarettes as a utility item, the PS1 version used them to reveal hidden infrared laser traps. The trade-off? They slowly drained your health—a literal "smoking kills" mechanic. 7-​Switching Ports: If you couldn't beat Psycho Mantis, the solution was physical. Plugging your controller into Port 2 stopped him from reading your movements, rendering his "psychic powers" useless. 8-​The Polished "Ghost" Photos: Using the in-game camera in certain locations would reveal blurry "ghosts" of the development team hidden in the environment. 9-​Catching a Cold: If Snake stands in the cold for too long or hangs around a sneezing guard, he can actually catch a cold. Sneezing during a stealth mission will alert nearby enemies to your position! 10-​The Ketchup Escape: Stuck in the holding cell? You could use a bottle of ketchup to fake a bloody death. When the guard opened the door to investigate, you could make your break for it. ​Which of these legendary secrets did you discover on your first playthrough? Let me know in the comments below.

Think you know Tactical Spionage Action? Think again. The 1987 NES port of Metal Gear is a wild piece of gaming history. ​Here are 10 facts about Metal Gear on Nes that might surprise you: 1-​The Cover Art "Identity Theft": Take a close look at the box art. The character is a direct trace of Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) from the 1984 film The Terminator. 2-​The Missing Genius: Series creator Hideo Kojima had zero involvement in this version. He famously distanced himself from it, even calling the port "Garbage" and "abominable." 3-​Lost in Translation: This version was developed by a separate team at Konami’s Ultra Games division without Kojima’s oversight, leading to massive gameplay changes. 4-​Where’s the Metal Gear?: In a game called Metal Gear, you never actually fight the walking tank. Instead, the final boss is a stationary Supercomputer. 5-​The Box Art Illustrator: The iconic (and controversial) cover was illustrated by Casper Revere, who handled many of Konami’s high-energy covers in the 80s. 6-​The Practical Habit: Unlike many Nintendo games of the era, the Cigarettes remained US version of the game. They aren't just for show; equipping them reveals hidden infrared laser traps. 7-​"I Feel Asleep!!": The game is legendary for its "Engrish" translation, featuring the famous line from a guard who clearly didn't have his morning coffee. 8-​The Jungle Drop: The NES version famously begins with Snake parachuting into a jungle with three other soldiers—a sequence that never existed in the MSX original. 9-​Map Malfunctions: Because the level design was altered from the original hardware, the NES version contains several "dead-end" screens that can soft-lock progress. 10-​A Massive Hit: Despite the changes, the NES version sold over a million copies in the US, effectively cementing Metal Gear's legacy in the West. What are your memories of Metal Gear? Is this where you first experienced the series?

@angrywoman79949 @Cernovich It's cheaper for them to build new in very rural areas. Cheaper energy, cheaper taxes, cheaper labor. Also in cases like the upper Midwest, free cooling in the winter. Just open some vents and good to go.

@Cernovich You’re right. I did ask the question of someone in the know why - if we really need these data centers - why can’t they take over a defunct empty factory site or large defunct mall? The infrastructure is already there. Why do they need farmland?

The despair porn is becoming tedious. If people are down that bad, join the military. Still the single best way to move up a ladder in life.

@Cernovich There's strength and there's functional strength. My grandfather was 5'11" 170lbs and I saw him have Superman strength. Never worked out a day in his life, just lived and died on the farm and delivering 100# blocks of ice in his off time (1930's). Look up Anatoly at the gym.

Yeah. Gym bros talking about strength is tedious. A high school welterweight could body slam pretty much anyone reading this, no matter the how much can you bench bro. Talking about "strength standards" if you can't actually fight is peak vanity and delusion.
Marc Lobliner - IFBB Pro@MarcLobliner

Strength is relative. I know college wrestlers who compete at 125 who can’t bench that. But they can kick our asses. Setting arbitrary numbers for strength is useless. What we should be doing is encouraging people to be active and do training that they enjoy. Side note: you never see elite olympians like Phil or Jay saying shit like this.

@dom_lucre Billie, lions and wolves love animals too... by eating them. Nature's been doing this forever. Preachy celebs on their private jets don't get to shame normal folks for it. Live and let eat.

🔥🚨JUST IN: Billie Eilish is clapping back at fans who are criticizing her for saying to is inherently wrong to eat meat and you can’t love animals if you eat meat. Eilish: “stay f*cking mad at ME i really don’t give a goddamn f*ck […] go watch a documentary or two and some footage of what is done to the animals u claim to love and what it does to the planet u pretend to love as well. if that footage was hard for u to watch i encourage u to pls take a look at urself. like i am so tired of standing up for/having empathy for living beings being controversial. pls continue to live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance and denial and try to convince urself that ur not living a lie. mwah 💋”
