As if we don't have enough to worry about, it looks like all these fat people jabbing themselves to lose weight aren't bellying up to the bar as much as they used to. Heineken has urged pubs to serve more half-pints as the growing popularity of weight-loss jabs threatens beer sales.
The Dutch brewing giant has warned pub owners in Europe that traditional drinking sessions where people enjoy several pints could become rarer as millions turn to appetite-suppressing medications. It has advised pubs and bars to prioritise smaller drinks, low-alcohol beers and smaller portions to avoid losing customers.
According to a presentation seen by Reuters, Heineken warned hospitality businesses that medicines such as Ozempic and Wegovy could reduce demand for beer and cider by making drinkers feel fuller and less inclined to order food and drink. However, the Dutch brewing giant insisted that people taking weight-loss drugs were not giving up alcohol altogether.

Its research suggested they were increasingly choosing smaller drinks, weaker beers or more expensive products rather than abandoning pubs entirely. A spokesman said: “Our latest consumer research suggests GLP-1 users are not simply replacing alcohol. They are becoming more purposeful in their choices and broadening their preferences, including smaller quantities, lower-ABV beverages or more premium options.”
Yeah - good luck with that...

At least 6,000 homeless addicts — many from out of state — were lured to California detox centers by “body brokers” working for a pair of accused fraudsters in a $1.6 billion rehab scheme considered the largest in history, federal prosecutors revealed.
Los Angeles rehab king David Young, 71, and his son Nathan Young, 39, allegedly offered free flights, groceries and other perks as part of their substance abuse scam to traffic addicts into dozens of California rehab centers, according to Department of Justice prosecutors.

While the couple’s use of the roughly 1,500-square-foot building may seem many decades in the past, it actually isn’t as distant as it may seem. Should this residence now sell, it would mark the first time since December 1988 that it changed hands. Pollock and Krasner resided at No. 9 in 1949 and 1950, according to Brick Underground, having borrowed the dwelling from Pollock’s friend and benefactor, the painter Alfonso Ossorio.
I would buy that place yesterday if I had the dough and the inclination to live in a City ruled by a Muslim madman.

As we've said here time and again. Islam gets a bad rap here in the US. The question still remains as to whether it is a religion or just an ideology, and I'm certainly not smart enough to give you a definitive answer on that.
One thing I am sure of, though - if it is in fact a religion - is that it is a religion of love and tolerance for the beliefs of other. All you need do to understand that premise is to read their 'good book', the Quran, or as we like to call it, the Koran, which Muslims believe is the direct and final revelation from God (Allah).
I've taken the liberty to pull a few examples from that
'holy' book to illustrate my point:

A simpleton is a person lacking common sense, intelligence, or sound judgment, and someone who is easily deceived or naive, someone with limited mental capacity, low intelligence, or a lack of practical wisdom.
The word also often implies being overly trusting, gullible, or easily manipulated rather than purely malicious. That explains that, doesn't it? Feel free to use that word often...

Is Islam a religion, it likes to state that comment however if your want that answer forget the Quran & look into another Islamic book that truly tells the truth about Islam, that book is titled Reliance of the Traveller: Islamic Sacred LAW aka sharia law. To understand why Islam states death to infidels read Chapter o9.0 titled Jihad : all will fall into place from there.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who the brunette is but I'd take her.
ReplyDeleteFace it, Mo-ham-id was nothing more than a 5th century L. Ron Hubbard. Stole from at least six different religions and made up the rest. Have you drank your camel piss today?

Just think how much more Trump could have accomplished if he didn't have to fight the Democrat party AND that dickhead Thune every step of the way.
ReplyDeleteHow many Flock cameras are in The Villages? Go to Mapquest and click on Surveillance to find out. May need to download the App.
ReplyDeleteHaven't the French riots taught you that islam belongs nowhere on earth? How about 140 churches burned to the ground in Canada and not one mosque? How about hundreds of thousands of Christians murdered in Africa? How about the former world power UK?
ReplyDeleteNever saw the interest in Pollack, et., al., other than them all being part of an anti-art movement.
ReplyDeleteMay dogs piss on their graves.
Diagramming sentences is about the only school thing I don't do on daily basis. Everything else, if I don't do for work, I continually practice. And in my experience, a good many people's lives would be far simpler if they kept up with basic knowledge rather than forceably forgetting it.
ReplyDeleteIf nobody writes in cursive, how do people sign checks and other legal documents that require a signature?
ReplyDeleteBetween 1979 and April 2024, there were 66,872 Islamist attacks worldwide. At least 250k people murdered.
ReplyDeleteIslam appeals to the worse in man. to call it a religion is insane at best. it is a complete social system to rule over others.
ReplyDeleteit pits brother against brother. brothers against their father. and the whole family against everyone else ?
it was spread by the sword. summit or die kind of thing. and then people wonder why it spreads so fast inside of prisons ? yeah. what we are living thru is one of the dumbest times in the world. they let them come in and do NOTHING. YUP> free food, housing and cash just for showing up here or in Europe. forget the locals who PAID taxes for all of this feel good shit. over 80% of them DO NOT WORK. nope, social bennies all the way !
and with 3-4 or more wives with a couple of kids each, they live very well indeed too.
chances are if you do find one that "works", he doing something illegal as a "job". say moving and selling drugs. girls or whatever else he can steal or get cheap and sell at a higher price. or like fraud here in the states.
not one place on earth has gotten better by having a large bunch of them there. not one.
BTW, it also how they managed to take over Iran in 1979 too. liberal fools teamed up with the ragheads to overthrow the Shah and take power. then the took over the party by killing all of the liberal fools.
Bush did call them the religion of peace after 9/11 which really blew my mind as I know better after fighting them for years. it is way past time to call them out for what they really are. as it is going, we are in for one hell of a civil war with them. or we will be lost to the sands of time if we lose. because they will be ruthless as anything you have seen or read about when it comes to a open break with them. I really feel sorry for the kids as this will be their fight after the stupid shit their parents have done.
