Peter Jackson’s movie version of The Hobbit (in three parts and clocking in at a full eight hours) is an outlier, spending five minutes per 1000 in visualizing that story

Under Trump, hundreds of America’s wild horses are being sold for as little as $25 and being sent to slaughter, report says

Jump

In a roundabout way, this move is meant to keep feeding areas available, probably for cows. Most of these slaughtered horses will end up being glue and animal feed. While they've done a fantastic job of 'reducing regulations' I don't think we're quite at wild horse meat substitutions for beef.

Maybe not so fun fact, cheval is horse meat, not legal in the us, much like beef they are raised in really specific ways, so I kind of doubt these wild horses will be good for consumption.

Maybe, If you are right. But I think I'm right so I'll sleep good tonight.

Gonna crash soon so I'll sign off with my personal conspiracy advice: If it affects the rich, it is not true. This affects the rich.

Same shit dude told me, you watched the same youtube video. Were the Illuminati wearing night vision goggles? It was 2013, tons of people had recording devices with power (Smart phones). And most importantly WHY, just because they could? If I wanted to let you know my SECRET SOCIETY was in charge, I would burn my name into the MOON with a LASER!

Ok Cool, second question, fucking why?

Edit: I am genuinely interested, the guy who told me did so right after that happened. He told me it was so that the Illuminati would be known. As layman who does not dig deep into all that, it just didn't make good sense. If I was an evil group of rich people who wanted to reveal ourselves I would do something awesome, not just fucking flick the lights on and off.

Now what if i told you had insider knowledge

I would assume you are an Illuminati member.

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, I was once told you guys were responsible for the Halftime blackout of the Superbowl at the Superdome, Is that true?

Log Cabin Republicans announce they no longer support trans rights - LGBTQ Nation

It's crazy how this sounds just like non-cabin Republicans talking about log cabin Republicans.

Republican state Sen. Bob Hall, 77, said LGBT groups promoted “unnatural sex,” according to the Fort-Worth Star Telegram, while 69-year-old GOP activist Steven Hotze charged gay people with encouraging “immoral and perverted sexual proclivities” in emails opposing the Texas Log Cabin Republicans’ recognition by the state party.

“The [Log Cabin Republicans] is a front group for the LGBTQ,” Hotze wrote, which he claims seeks to “force businesses, churches, schools, governments, and individuals to accept, affirm, and celebrate those who promote and participate in perverted sexual activities.”

TIL that in 2025, Americans spent roughly $166 billion on gambling. That’s more than the entire U.S. movie, music, book, and museum industries combined.

Everyone I've known to get addicted to heroin started with simple painkillers, after the prescription was gone they went Black market, this led to stronger and stronger pills until the pills just didn't do it anymore. Is somebody who was prescribed 40 mg Percocet per day for more than 2 months I can tell you, it's fucking hard to stop.
