So many dead billionaires and political figures... just like... a ludicrous amount.

The setting says "If you opt out you might still see Quest promotions, but they won't be personalized to your activity". I'm on Nitro Basic (The 3 dollar a month plan.) and I don't see any method for disabling them completely.

Folks were saying Biden was senile but jesus fuck Schumer's brain worms must have eaten every last drop of intelligence that man had.

Unilever plans to spin off Ben & Jerry's, Breyers, Magnum and other ice cream brands later this year.

What's even the point of getting rid of their CEO then?

Pot is happy kettle no longer competing with it.

Me, a Smash addicted adult with 7 controllers lying around: I should look that up on youtube

He's a "good" gay, at least until they can get rid of him.

Pretty sure the netgun isn't commonly on the belt next to the pepper spray and taser.

People pay for shirts with the nike logo on it all the time. Maybe folks think they're big enough now that they can do the same.

Yeah, it was tough enough getting Notch's taint off it.

The same Bobby Kotick listed in Epsteins black book??

I think the U.S. exports a fair amount of media and personalities involved in it, while other countries don't necessarily do as much. RRR or Ne Zha 2 might have been box office monsters in India or China (respectively) but not nearly as much here, while Avengers and the like do absolute numbers the world over. Kpop has started to gain international appeal (e.g. BTS) but thats about it.

I think a fair amount of country likely doesn't escape the states. Or at least I haven't heard of a big chunk of folks rockin out to Shania Twain or whatev.

Schumer did manage to get GOP leadership to agree to hold a vote to ensure that the D.C.'s budget did not suffer a $1 billion cut. The House's bill was written to include the budget reduction, sparking concern.

I have a concept of an idea

I'm confused. You have no interest in this article yet you're still commenting on it instead of simply moving on with your day.

I presume going around South America takes a bit longer.

Has there ever been a primary challenger beat the incumbent president for the nomination and then win the election?

There'd have to be a primary challenger who beat the incumbent first, and I don't think that one has happened. I know Ted Kennedy got relatively close (Well, closer then the others I've mentioned, still blown out 1900 to 1200 delegates) to knocking out Carter on the Dem side, other then that, Reagan and Ford in 1976 was decided 1,121 to 1078 for Ford.

Primaries are kind of a moot point for the incumbent if they want to run again.

Trump in 2020 had 2,549 delegates. The next closest was Bill Weld with 1.
Biden in 2024 had 3,905 delegates. The next closest was uncommitted with 37.
Obama in 2012 had 3,514 delegates. The next closest there was also uncommitted, with 72.
Bush in 2004 had a clean delegate sweep of 2,509.

I feel like if Biden had stuck with something like, "I'm going to be one term and let some younger folks lead, we need some folks who are going to see the consequences of their actions running the show, not 70 and 80 year olds." and had an actual primary, Harris wouldn't have been the nominee and said nominee would have won. There's a few other things that could have helped, but the short campaign was definitely a huge stumbling block.
