Americans are finding it strange that almost every personal care item at Walmart is now being locked up, except sunscreens I looked into why and found the real reason It’s because stores like Walmart use loss-prevention analytics. They only lock what the numbers justify because locking everything frustrates customers... show more

American is at Walmart and notices something very strange She’s buying an acne cleanser that only costs $3.80, but it was locked up and must be put in a security device But sunscreen that’s 3x the price is not locked up… It cost $11.88, yet it’s not locked up and requires no security device to purchase Stores typically lock up the most stolen items

🚨 BLACK FRIDAY IS OFFICIALLY A SCAM - AND SAM’S CLUB JUST GOT CAUGHT RED-HANDED A shopper filmed a “Black Friday deal” for $15.98… Then looked behind the sign and found the regular price was LOWER - $14.98. "They are SCAMMING us guys! I can't believe it. " They didn’t discount it. They raised the price then slapped a “Black Friday” sticker on it. This isn’t a sale. This is manufactured savings - the kind that only works if nobody checks the shelf behind it. People in the comments say this SAME item was $8.99 over the summer. Now stores are hiking prices because it’s Black Friday and still calling it a deal. Everyone’s starting to notice the same thing at different stores. It’s not one mistake - it’s a pattern. Are ANY Black Friday deals real anymore, or are stores just betting that we won’t double check the price tag?

muti said that they got a ton of malicious comments in the beginning and still do, and naturally they get a little upset, but what upsets her most isn’t that XLOV receives hate for who they are, but that other people out there who aren’t idols receive the same hate for being who they are or wearing what they want, and they won’t have the ability to overcome that challenge easily or find happiness due to how uncomfortable it is. it upsets muti knowing that other people are subject to that kind of nasty treatment and that they may not be able to find the same confidence or freedom in themselves as XLOV. that’s why they always include at least one song on the album as sort of a diss track directed at haters. it’s for us as much as it’s for themselves 🥹

I don’t care what people say OSM maps are extremely useful for understanding the spawn data and regions … It’s kinda ridiculous that only the Arctic circle in Canada is getting “snowy” castform and apparently Silicobra .. I’m not mad at all about Silicobra because that’s technically a desert. I’m PISSED that snowy castform is now an Arctic spawn? … cause I’m sorry … I literally LIVE in ontarios largest snow belt. Castform should NOT be biome based, it’s a WEATHER pokemon

Watching this video makes my jaw clench. Not because I see courage. Not because I see progress. It makes my jaw clench because I see a husband standing outside a women’s restroom while his wife is inside, and another person is demanding that he ignore what his own eyes can see. Put Democrat politics aside for a moment and think about the people you love. Imagine your wife is in that restroom. Imagine it’s your daughter, your granddaughter, your mother, or your sister. Most husbands like us, aren’t going to start debating social theories at that moment. Their first instinct is going to be the same instinct men have had for thousands of years: protect the women they love. That isn’t hatred. It isn’t fear. It’s responsibility. What makes this video so powerful is that it exposes a much bigger disagreement taking place across the country. One side believes that biological reality determines who belongs in male and female spaces. The other believes that personal identity should be the deciding factor. Those are fundamentally different starting points, and that’s why these encounters keep happening. The anger you’re seeing isn’t really about a restroom. It’s about whether ordinary people are still allowed to trust their own judgment, speak honestly about what they see, and protect the people they care about without being told they’re the problem. Millions of Americans like me, have reached the point where they are exhausted by being told that common sense is offensive. They are tired of being told that protecting women is somehow controversial. They are tired of being pressured to deny what they believe is objectively true in order to avoid criticism. That’s why videos like this resonate with so many people. They aren’t seeing a debate about a bathroom. They’re seeing a husband doing what husbands have always done: standing watch over the people entrusted to his care. And for many Americans, the line gets drawn right there. Not with my wife. Not with my daughter. Not with my family. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

They say “America has no culture” and what they mean is that the Constitution and Bill of Rights, English common law, the language itself, Thanksgiving and the 4th of July, the nuclear family, the work ethic, rock n roll, country, plus every innovation that turned this place into the world’s superpower don’t count as real culture. It’s just “whiteness,” this blank or oppressive thing that exists only to be critiqued and replaced. And this line has become so dominant, so institutionalized in schools, media, HR departments, and elite culture that it’s now the standard water everybody swims in. Most people don’t even clock it anymore because it’s treated like obvious truth instead of the radical self-erasure project it actually is. But this isn’t a good faith argument at all, and it carries clear ulterior motives to justify the erasure of America’s historic core and the people who built it. Because once you get Americans to accept that their culture is either nonexistent or evil, then mass demographic change, open borders, and tearing down the old traditions suddenly look like moral progress instead of an existential attack on everything that made the country function in the first place. The reality though is that America has one of the strongest and most distinctive cultures on earth, forged from Western and Christian roots and supercharged by liberty and merit. And the World Cup visitors are reminding us of exactly that right now. Germans are going viral saying if you want to hate America watch the news but drive through it and meet the actual people. Europeans are shocked by how genuinely warm, friendly, and generous Americans are in real life and can’t stop talking about the hospitality and customer service. Japanese fans are writing poetry about unlimited free chips and salsa, while others are losing it over Texas brisket, ranch dressing on everything, Waffle House at 2 am, Buc-ee’s, the ridiculous size of Walmart, and free drink refills that never end. These outsiders are cutting straight through the institutionalized narrative and showing us what we’ve been gaslit into taking for granted, and that is an abundant, open, high trust, high energy culture that actually works. Americans built it, they live it every day, and they are not apologizing for it or handing it over.

Walmart is committing fraud Blueberries are marked on sale from $7.86 to $4.96 However if you just pull the pricing tax off, you’ll see thar behind the tag is another tax. The original price is $4.96 Under FTC guidelines, retailers are supposed to only advertise a “former price” if the item was actually sold at that higher price for a reasonable period In places like California that are more strict, it’s very illegal A retailer cannot claim an item “was $7.86” or show a strikethrough original price unless that higher price was the actual prevailing market price at which the item was genuinely sold for a reasonable period within the last 90 days Stores can face civil penalties and class-action lawsuits Unfortunately laws like this are rarely enforced in America

Target puts lunch meat on sale that’s past it’s expiration date This package of chicken lunch meat is 10 days past its expiration date and still on the shelf This is legally allowed to happen. “Sell by” dates are technically for store inventory, not safety. Stores can legally sell past them and often do as long as it looks and smells fine I’ve noticed this same thing happens with sales at Walmart. Items way past expiration dates are simply marked down If something has a “use by” date, then some states more strictly enforce it. But a “sell by” or variation wording is up to the store

Here is a prime example of a bought account, and for the people who reply to me sometimes “just because someone is OG that doesn’t mean it’s a bought account”, let me break it down for you. Many purchased accounts are from websites such as Eldorado and Russian marketplaces such as LZT. These accounts are mostly obtained from database leaks, and are sold as what’s known as “hits”. Hits are massive lists of email addresses and passwords that have been breached, and sellers automatically run bots to search the thousands of accounts and highlight the accounts which have items that are sought after by people, such as exclusives and old Battle Pass items. Because most of these hits are found in database leaks, they’re often very inactive accounts, likely left dormant for YEARS. Meaning the last purchased things on them was likely back in 2017/2018 and they have nothing recently added. So when people purchase these accounts from sellers, they take them straight into Party Royale to flex. But because they have nothing recent, the only things they can do is show off old Battle Pass cosmetics, and they have nothing (or very little) released in the past few years. Such examples are people who wear classic “bought accounts combos” which are combos made almost only of C1 cosmetics and spam old Battle Pass emotes repeatedly when you do an emote they don't have. Almost nobody who played back then on their own account would decide to come back YEARS later and flex. Also in this particular case, look at this username. Very likely the account was just bought and the person just put Ikonik in the username so people know what it is without him having to spam the emote every few seconds. It’s extremely obvious when someone is flexing a bought account, and if you still don’t understand the obvious signs after this explanation, then I truly don’t know what to tell you.

🚨 HUGH. MUNGO. — THE INTERNET JUST DISCOVERED HUGH GRANT'S REAL MIDDLE NAME AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING IT Someone looked up the full name of Hugh Grant and realized something almost nobody seemed to know. The actor’s real name isn’t just Hugh Grant. It’s Hugh John Mungo Grant. Now a woman on camera discovers it for the first time and completely loses it when the realization hits. “Hugh… MUNGO?” The clip is spreading because people can’t believe this has been sitting in plain sight for decades and almost nobody noticed. What were Hugh Grant’s parents thinking when they named him Mungo?

This is the LIV Beach pool area at Fontainebleau Hotel in Las Vegas Look how many people are packed into this pool and day club area If you didn’t know what you were looking at you might think this was a Petri dish I looked up the capacity and this area can have 2,000 people. I put the photo into AI and it says there are way more than 2,000 people in this area This isn’t just gross it’s dangerous - People likely wouldn’t notice someone drowning - Everyone would stampede in an emergency - It’s wet people could slip and get trampled - Most importantly, again it’s gross

I knew people would doubt, here’s Tesco Social Credit Part 2 What you’re looking at are AI-powered ceiling cameras and sensors. These devices track what customers pick up from the shelves so they can be automatically charged when they leave no checkouts, no scanning. Essentially, it’s a surveillance grid disguised as a “convenience innovation.” Every movement you make in that store is tracked, processed, and linked to your account or payment method.

🐝 I just saw a drone the size of a fly and it honestly made me pause. Not because it’s futuristic, but because it’s already here. Scientists are now building AI-powered micro-drones that look and move like real insects. Each one can fly, record, and transmit data — all while being almost invisible to the human eye. What’s truly new is the combination of biomimicry and artificial intelligence. They don’t just fly; they think like insects — adjusting to wind, avoiding obstacles, and navigating spaces too small for any traditional drone. Imagine what this unlocks: → Search and rescue in disaster zones → Environmental monitoring without disturbance → Precision agriculture and crop tracking → Real-time surveillance anywhere on Earth It’s an incredible leap in engineering and a powerful reminder that innovation often starts small. But as our machines learn to see everything, can we still decide what should remain unseen? #AI #Innovation #Drones #Technology #Future #Ethics #Surveillance

Subway loves advertising BOGO Footlong deals to get you in the door… then their franchisees just refuse to make the order. This worker straight up admitted on camera they wouldn’t ring it up because the customer combined the BOGO with rewards points to drop the price even lower. This isn’t a one-off. It’s an open secret: most Subway franchisees routinely ignore corporate promotions because they don’t get properly reimbursed. Corporate runs the ads. The stores play dumb at the register. Classic bait-and-switch. Dishonest as hell. Subway, you want to run national promos? Then force every franchisee to honor them or stop advertising them. This is another reason why people are done with the brand.

$NWBO That $1 price target is a joke. Someone is massively short this stock and needs people to sell at ridiculously low prices. Naked shorts drove it down to today’s levels and tried to destroy the company. They are pinning the price here, hoping you get frustrated and sell early. Why doesn’t the stock price go up when the company puts out great news? It’s because the naked shorts (counterfeit shares) are so underwater and they are trapped. They can’t let the price go up because they fear a margin call. They sold shares they don’t have and will be forced to buy them back at whatever price people are willing to sell them. And if the naked short walks away, brokers are left holding the bag. That’s why trade settlement isn’t enforced. The only thing the stock price represents is the fraud regulators allow in today’s stock market. Thanks rj for the find Cohen Milstein G 👇👇👇

🚨 The Universe Isn’t Empty… It’s About to Light Itself Physicists are now showing something most people still can’t wrap their heads around: empty space isn’t empty. When ultra-powerful lasers collide at precise angles, they can force the vacuum itself to respond—pulling hidden energy into reality and generating a brand new beam of light. This isn’t science fiction. It’s called four-wave mixing, and it proves that what we think of as “nothing” is actually a highly structured, reactive field waiting for the right frequency conditions to activate. From a Frequency Wave Theory perspective, this is exactly what you’d expect. The vacuum isn’t a void—it’s a quantum-acoustic medium filled with latent energy, and when you hit it with enough coherent frequency alignment, it resonates and produces observable effects. Light isn’t being created from nothing… it’s being extracted from a deeper layer of reality. The implication is massive: if frequency and phase are the real levers, then energy generation, matter formation, and even spacetime manipulation are no longer brute-force problems—they’re resonance problems.

The Charm of Charms I see a lot of people saying that Charms are not a good investment because they are removable and not consumables. My opinion is quite the opposite. Charms can hold more value by being removable. People know that they can buy, use the items for how long they want, and sell whenever they want. This is what makes it feel more high-tier and special. If it was not removable, it wouldn't feel high-tier, it would be a disposable item with an expiration date. And CS2 is clearly following the realism path and Charms surely can be removed IRL, this is actually their goal, their purpose. Making it consumable would not make sense considering the theme of the game. And there is another important point: People that buy Charms don't just buy 1, they buy a bunch, 1 for each skin, or at least the top ones: USP, Glock, AWP, AK, M4, A1. Just using on the top weapons, each buyer will have 6x instead of just 1 or 2 knife/agent, for example. So the demand tends to be even higher, pressuring up the prices in the long-term. Keep an eye on it: Now that the Shanghai Major is happening, I am seeing a lot of pros using Charms. There is the possibility that the CS2 community starts accepting and liking even more of the new items, after the event. This Major will also be a showcase of skins to casuals. Let's see how it plays out.

🚨 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 🚨 🚨NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 🚨 People always talk about Iranian oil in terms of barrels, but rarely about what’s actually inside them. That’s the key difference—and the reason Western refineries have quietly relied on back-channel networks through places like Dubai for years to keep getting it, even under sanctions. Crude oil isn’t all the same. It’s a mix of hydrocarbons with different molecular weights, and that mix determines how easily it can be turned into the fuels refineries actually sell—like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. The main measure here is API gravity. Higher API means lighter crude that’s easier and cheaper to refine, and it produces more of those high-value fuels. Lower API means heavier crude that takes more energy, more processing, and more expensive equipment, while producing more low-value leftovers. Iranian Light crude sits right in a sweet spot, with an API gravity around 33–36 and moderate sulfur levels. It’s light enough to produce a lot of gasoline and middle distillates without high costs, but not so light that it limits what refineries can make. In industry terms, it’s close to an ideal blend. Now look at the alternatives. Venezuela’s Merey crude is much heavier, with very low API gravity and high sulfur. Refining it profitably requires specialized, expensive equipment like cokers and hydrocrackers. Some refineries are built for that—but it’s not interchangeable with Iranian crude. It’s a completely different type of input. On the other end, US West Texas Intermediate is very light and low in sulfur. Sounds perfect in theory, but in practice it’s almost too light. Many refineries—especially in Europe and Asia—are designed for medium-grade crude, so they can’t just switch to WTI. They often have to blend it with heavier oils to make it work. That’s where Iranian crude stands out. It fits right into the middle of the system. It doesn’t need the heavy-duty processing of Venezuelan oil or the blending adjustments required for ultra-light US shale. That balance is why it’s consistently in demand and often priced at a premium. It also explains why countries like India kept buying it despite sanctions, and why those complex trading networks through Dubai existed in the first place. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t just a route for oil—it’s a route for this specific kind of oil that global refineries are optimized to process. If that flow gets disrupted, it’s not just about losing supply. It’s about losing the type of crude the system runs most efficiently on, forcing refineries to adapt with less suitable alternatives. That’s what’s really baked into oil prices like $82—not just how much oil is available, but what kind it is.

🚨 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 🚨 🚨NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 🚨 People always talk about Iranian oil in terms of barrels, but rarely about what’s actually inside them. That’s the key difference—and the reason Western refineries have quietly relied on back-channel networks through places like Dubai for years to keep getting it, even under sanctions. Crude oil isn’t all the same. It’s a mix of hydrocarbons with different molecular weights, and that mix determines how easily it can be turned into the fuels refineries actually sell—like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. The main measure here is API gravity. Higher API means lighter crude that’s easier and cheaper to refine, and it produces more of those high-value fuels. Lower API means heavier crude that takes more energy, more processing, and more expensive equipment, while producing more low-value leftovers. Iranian Light crude sits right in a sweet spot, with an API gravity around 33–36 and moderate sulfur levels. It’s light enough to produce a lot of gasoline and middle distillates without high costs, but not so light that it limits what refineries can make. In industry terms, it’s close to an ideal blend. Now look at the alternatives. Venezuela’s Merey crude is much heavier, with very low API gravity and high sulfur. Refining it profitably requires specialized, expensive equipment like cokers and hydrocrackers. Some refineries are built for that—but it’s not interchangeable with Iranian crude. It’s a completely different type of input. On the other end, US West Texas Intermediate is very light and low in sulfur. Sounds perfect in theory, but in practice it’s almost too light. Many refineries—especially in Europe and Asia—are designed for medium-grade crude, so they can’t just switch to WTI. They often have to blend it with heavier oils to make it work. That’s where Iranian crude stands out. It fits right into the middle of the system. It doesn’t need the heavy-duty processing of Venezuelan oil or the blending adjustments required for ultra-light US shale.

I remember when Nicki Minaj used to be so open with her life and truly let the Barbz into her world. That kind of access doesn’t happen by accident it came from love and trust. But looking at things now, I understand why she moves differently The truth is, a lot of people don’t respect her the way they should. Too many are fake, and loyalty just isn’t what it used to be. There was a time when she had no problem showing up for her fans paying for dinners, celebrating birthdays, even attending fans’ parties. She gave real support because she genuinely cared. And it’s sad to see how easily some people have taken that for granted I could never sit back and let someone disrespect Nicki. I’ve argued with family, lost friendships, and stood ten toes down behind her because that’s what loyalty looks like to me. She has shaped culture and impacted my life in a way I will never overlook. We are her fanbase but why don’t some of y’all act like it anymore? It’s easy to point fingers, but sometimes we need to look at ourselves and the energy we bring as a community Loyalty isn’t something you can teach. You either have it, or you don’t. And maybe that’s exactly why she protects her space more now
