During lockdown it was toilet paper. Now it's eggs. Kids nowadays are being priced out of classic vandalism staples.

Surprised no one in the porn industry has expanded on and run with it yet, not that I've been frequently checking...

There's a guy with a good head on his shoulders, and I'm not even sure if they're his shoulders.

That's what they get for letting the EM-2 die in favor of conforming with NATO standardization of 7.62x51mm.

Burnet being called "burn it" and Guadalupe "guada loop" also invoke anger and frustration.

Get outta here with that colon privilege, with your solid stool and fiber rich diet

I'd argue it's considerably less stressful when you're too dimwitted to understand the stakes and potential consequences of your actions and inactions. Even more so when you've tossed out any sense of professionalism and decorum that comes with the job. The people flipping burgers for him have more stressful jobs than the miserable sack of rotten cosmetic product waste.

I'd settle for rockets that explode with billionaires in them.

It sounds like Hong Kong still has a bit of autonomy. Hopefully this continues and the PRC doesn't come down on it as administrative oversight on their part.

Uh huh! Uh huh! And all the vendors say he's pretty fly, for a Valve guy

Try to find a transistor radio in the White House. You can't.

(Relatively) young Christian woman hire. Triple DEI, no erasees.

When I was a kid, I was somewhat envious of Tom Hanks' character in The Terminal. Rewatching it as an adult hits different after spending a lot more time in airports since then.

Looking at porn is fine, as long as one of his children gets an app notification on their phone when he does.

As far as I know, Tesla owns all of their showrooms and service centers. Sort of a point of contention between them and other American automakers that they don't use the traditional dealership model.

Refusal to hold themselves accountable for their own actions/inactions is a trait they share with mainline MAGA.

Blank? Blank?! You're not looking at the big picture!

Don't forget the shit sleep

Tangentially perhaps, what they're talking about is related to pig butchering scams running out of "business parks" situated along the border with Thailand (in Cambodia and Myanmar). The people operating the scams are essentially kidnap victims lured with false job listings and coerced into working to pay off phony debts. Many of these are Chinese nationals but it seems to be a pretty mixed bag.

The article focuses on Chinese nationals seeking to leave the country to travel somewhere with casinos. Remote casino resorts have been sprouting up around various parts of Southeast Asia over the last decade or so. Many of these are also situated not far from the border with Thailand, but I've only heard of Chinese casinos in Myanmar and Laos. Casinos are illegal in Thailand so these attract Thai nationals as well as tourists looking to pass through Thailand to evade suspicion.

The owners/operators of these fraud centers and casinos are thought to related or even one and the same groups of Chinese "investors"/"businessmen". This is largely anecdotal speculation however, as I'm not able to provide a reliable source for the connection here.
