TIL. Thanks!

So up until recently I thought the same. I thought “Zero Sugar” used sucralose (Splenda) and diet used aspartame. Compared them at the store and Discovered that both Mountain Dew zero sugar and diet mountain dew are sweetened with the same fake sweetener, aspartame. The two drinks taste different to me. Maybe other brands do use different sweeteners but not Pepsi it seems.

I have had this same thought and I feel like I’ve come to a realization. If companies can cater to the desires of the top 10% or so, they can make more money. Why sell 200 $5 objects when I can cater to the affluent and sell 6 $250 objects.

I see this constantly with Automobiles and construction. Auto manufacturers do not make the cheap baseline cars for the most part Because they’ve realized they can make more money manufacturing the fancier vehicles /trim levels with higher margins.

Same thing with new buildings; affordable housing is not what is being built. You only see fancier, expensive construction, with higher margins, being constructed.

This isn’t for the pedo stuff. This is for him allegedly leaking state secrets.

Don’t forget the 6th

I think this is the incident you are talking about:

In December 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released an FBI tip in which a complainant alleged President Donald Trump witnessed her uncle kill her newborn child and dispose of the body in Lake Michigan when she was 13 and being trafficked for sex by Jeffrey Epstein.

I think the death of the child would be the undisputed worst outcome. Anything else can be managed.

I have had the same experience too in the US. Yellowjacket wasps are the absolute worst while hornets are chill unless you get really close to their nest.

Controlled by the DOJ and Executive Branch.

Considering they are delaying pre orders due to the tariffs I do not think tariffs are the reason the price is so high. I think Nintendo is trying to set a new standard for game prices. If these games still sell at $80 then I wouldn’t be surprised to see GTA 6 release for $100. The whole gaming market will likely follow.

I personally know one lady in her 70s that absolutely will be destroyed if she doesn’t get her check. She lives “paycheck to paycheck” and the only check she gets is Social Security. This makes me sick.

Oh absolutely!

Yeah I think they could still charge anyone who was in on the plan with conspiracy to commit murder whether they pulled the trigger or not.

Edit: at minimum
