So like… anything you’re not cooking from scratch yourself. And even a lot of things you are, like any baked good would qualify as ultra-processed due to sweeteners and emulsifiers (e.g. egg).
You’re not missing anything. A wheelchair slides down the chute, hits the bottom, flips over the bottom, and lands on the ground just after the chute. Then the guy picks it up and puts it on the cart.
TLDR: The guy was posing as a wealthy businessman and the girl, along with her actual boyfriend who was 21 lakhs in debt wanted to kidnap him take the ransom money and kill him anyway. And so they did.
Black Friday e-commerce spending popped 7.5% from a year earlier, reaching a record $9.8 billion in the U.S., according to an Adobe Analytics report, a further indication that price-conscious consumers want to spend on the best deals and are hunting for those deals online....
Since last year? USD inflation has been 5.1%, so assuming the 7.5% spending increase to $9.8b doesn’t account for inflation, the flat number for 2022 was $9.1b, and adding on an inflation adjustment would mean 2022 spending in 2023 dollars was $9.6b, meaning a 2.1% comparative increase in 2023 dollars. But they don’t link to the study, so I can’t say whether they already accounted for inflation or not.
Ultimately the record $9.8b number may or may not account for inflation, but either way, if it doesn’t, I’m sure that it’s near the peak.
New research in the journal Evolutionary Human Sciences, from University of Kent researchers Louis Bachaud and Sarah Johns, explores how members of various manosphere communities (think Andrew Tate and his ilk) misuse research and concepts from evolutionary psychology to bolster their own misogynistic views.

Borne solicited someone he believed was underage for sex and encouraged them to make child sex abuse material
So he got stung by a cop pretending to be a kid. Eh. I’m fine with not having tax dollars pay for his room and board if there wasn’t any actual harm committed. The guy knows he’s going to be under a microscope for the rest of his life, so I doubt he’ll ever try this again.

SEOUL, Nov 23 (Reuters) - A South Korean appellate court on Thursday ordered Japan to compensate a group of 16 women who were forced to work in Japanese wartime brothels, overturning a lower court ruling that dismissed the case and prompting a stern protest from Tokyo.
I’ve never heard someone say the government is corrupt and infrastructure should be in the hands of the people. The government is the people. Most people say it should be taken out of the hands of private companies and put into the hands of the people, managed by the government. Workers controlling the means of production and all that.

I don’t really like any of them, but I think F1953 is probably the best among them. The ones with the stars in the center look like health insurance corporate logos. F1953 actually looks like a state flag, though it almost looks like a country flag (Bahamas, Jordan, etc.).

I don’t see anyone refusing to take the site down. They contacted the hosting company, and a few days later the hosting company took it down. If this is the quality of journalism they’re trying to protect, I don’t think any value was lost.
