Incidentally the most stolen item at shops is baby formula, because of the cost of buying it. The only time that you see shops locking the stuff up, or with this being the only product that has a locking security tag on the can that has to be removed before it leaves the shop.

Not to mention all the manufacturers reducing the amount of actual cocoa in the product, replacing with either filler or using cheaper substitutes like hydrogenated plant oil, because that cocoa is still too expensive to put in and cuts into the profits. So instead of cocoa you get HFCS, a hint of the poorest quality cocoa, and the rest is dye and plant oil, carefully blended to look like brown instead of the pale colour it is.. Also, talking about cocoa, and showing video of tea being harvested, another tale of exploitation.

The Shaik story is interesting, in that he did not spend any time in prison, being in a prison hospital, and released on parole as he was "deathly ill", and to this day is still alive, and living in his house, only venturing out to go to pray, play golf, and still is getting money from government contracts still, via his holding companies.

Do not forget the writer who survived it, Kurt Vonnegut, who incorporated that as part of his writing style.

A very large number of those active ingredients also come from India, where there are massive plants as well.

The difference is that kitchen tools are in the open, this is hidden under water, and the talking airheads at the top, the clotted cream as you could say, figure that, since it has not gone boom yet, it should still be fine till they are out of office, and it becomes somebody else's problem again, and they are in the clear.

Which is why the countries that do not pay will not accept blood products from those who do pay. This has led to smuggling of the cheaper products to those other countries. Greatly reduced chances of transmission is not a zero risk.

How about the dentist who did all her own dentistry, including root canals as well.

My mother was one of those Poles deported to a gulag. Went in with her family, and only her and her younger sister got out, after walking from the middle of Siberia to the Black sea, and around to British Persia, where she spent time in Tehran before being sent to another British settlement camp in the federation of Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Parents are apparently buried in the Polish Cemetery in Tehran. Her sister was sent to the UK, and she married there in the camp to get out, as my father was demobbed there. She absolutely hated Russian people, and stayed in the tropics, because she never wanted to be that cold ever again.

As the ads are only up for 24 hours or so, simplest is to filter the ads that last under 2 days for scrutiny, and also for insta to keep the images for longer internally, with those short period images being moderated more, and the accounts linked to them. Also easy to search messages for the words of other methods, including variants of the name, and anything that matches more than 30% of the name within 30 characters, plus at least 5 numbers within 30, should be assumed to be illicit and sent for moderation as high priority. But that of course means that they need need to hire cheap mechanical turk labour in third world countries, and train them, and pay them the $2 per 14 hour day that they do.

When you left school with being a sub functional literate person, and with no job prospects, and criminals are seen as being free with cash, this is appealing. Education wise the spend per pupil is the highest in the world, yet the only way to get the desired pass marks are to drop standards, then drop the pass mark to anything over 39%, and those under that get a conditional pass. For every teacher in a class there are at least 10 administrators, all of them earning much more than a teacher pay, and all of them having school holidays off. Telling thing is the number who drop out from grade 1 to grade 9, officially mandatory, and then a massive amount at grade 10. Universities have all had to add on an extra year to the degree paths, simply to teach what the schools should have taught, if they wanted to keep international accreditation.

@markusgorelli5278 Problem is that cocoa does not like growing in groves, and also that there is a very big demand for the leaves, for other purposes, so a lot of the cocoa you buy is grown in plantations where the cocoa bean is more of a side earner, over the other product of Columbian marching powder.

Not if you want to provide shareholder return, that sort of actual oversight costs a lot of money. Just having something you call AI, and a few cheap overworked underpaid moderators, handling 100 queries a minute, is a lot cheaper, and this allows you to tick that checkbox on your government report as done.

Just remember how those camps, often in remote areas, were closed down. They simply removed all the guards, and did not send any food or supplies there, leaving them in the middle of the steppe, with no transport, food, protection, or even an idea of where they actually were, and long distances from any running transport at all.

@chiedzawith2ds Only because they could borrow money cheap, but now the interest payments are becoming equal to the GDP, and when you have to borrow money to pay government salaries you are only kicking the can down the road a little. Yes you can ask for a house, but the chances of ever getting to the top of that list are about the same as winning the lottery, those houses are built, then sold off to connected people, and then rented out, the money all being cash, with zero tax paid. Same for the transport industry, the owners and controllers of taxi groups live in massive mansions, yet on paper they earn nothing, and pay little tax. The corrupt take the money to build houses and such, start the work, get part way, then the money is gone, and so is the builder, starting up another few dozen companies, paying bribes to government officials to get tenders, and then simply doing part work, then closing down again and rinse and repeat. So many government workers in high positions sitting at home on full pay, because of pending cases, and if the case eventually makes it to court they simply resign, and the case simply gets dropped, and they apply to another state institution, where they do the same again. 5 years to even get a court date is not unusual, and the case might be heard in 10 years.

Some professors who published the textbooks also told, on the first day, that there was a dozen copies in the library, and also suggested that some students could check them out, and also that you could come to his office and get a copier code, provided you made a few copies of each page, so all could get a copy. Was not his code, but the actual main admin code, so it could never be blocked. Electronic ones you can find now, plus some lecturers also tell you to get a copy from the Indian publisher direct, saving around 95% of the cost of the book, and getting the identical copy directly. Note that often the only difference between editions is that the page numbering moves slightly, and the self study section at the end of each chapter is the only thing different, same questions, same answers, just the order is different. The old joke of the psychology professor who used the exact same book for decades, exactly the same material, exactly the same questions, just that the answers were different.

TB is currently resistant, so you have a cocktail of 6 drugs you take twice a day, for 6 months, because otherwise you will die. Even so half the patients stop taking it after a month, because "they feel well", so now when they rebound they need 12 drugs, and often then die.

Biggest irony here is that elections have just concluded, and those mineworkers all voted to support the parties, who were directly involved with owning the mine and who all have controlling interests in the companies, and all those leaders are still in power, tainted with corruption claims multiple times, yet still have those people voting for them time and again. That is the irony of it all, the monument will never be built, because it is an admission by the powers that be that they ignored the people who put them there.

@castleanthrax1833 Yes those old doctors had it down to under a minute to amputate a limb.

@pv2639 We will hope you tell your doctor that next time you need any surgery or such.

Name the social media platform, and you get the same.

Less visible though, easy for ISP to see the use or darknet, even if they cannot see what is going on, the traffic to TOR is very easy to spot, being different from normal web traffic going to a CDN, and thus, like any other VPN, easy to track by metadata. Insta and the others goes to a CDN that is assumed to be safe, so appears as if they are just looking at cat pictures. hiding in plain sight is easier than staying in the shadows.

@MochoStudiosYT Yes there is a strong movement saying those native Africans not of your exact same area are not wanted, despite them speaking the same language, looking the same, and coming here to escape from torture and genocide. Even if they were born in the same area as those people, they are not wanted because they are somehow different. All it takes is to be born 2km away.

New symbol still not going to help with literally thousands of these sources out there, unknown location, and with others from the old soviet union scattered all over, with no records of them existing, other than the manufacture, and where they first went, and even those records are incomplete.

Hard, as the DM senders get to know exactly what alphabets to use that bypasses these filters, and then add spaces to the numbers, or again non latin charaters, to obfuscate to the very literal machine, but the human recognises it as a platform and a number. If YT cannot stop this spam, having full control of both the source of the message, and the location of sender, plus a history of posts, with the best AI they can develop, very hard to fix.
