There was a TiKTok video getting posted to Reddit that showed a bunch of adult Chinese women (in China) posing for selfies while standing in and trampling upon a rural farmer’s rapeseed oil plants (Brassica napus subsp. napus). For whatever it’s worth the farmer was also an older Chinese woman, maybe in her 40-50’s.
These were not tweens, teenagers, or young twenty-somethings but grown-ass 30 year old+ adult women, a group of around 20-30 of them, acting just like spoiled “influencer” brats afflicted by FOMO.
The farmer looked so exhausted- it exhausted the hell of of me watching it. It was as if “ooh, pretty yellow flowers” was enough to justify killing plants and fucking with someone’s livelihood.
Sunflower growers here in the States have similar problems.

I just listened to the Yung Gravy song. He essentially just raw samples the song while using something to muffle and minutely modulate the sound for the introduction.
There’s no differential interpretation here, just a raw recording sample with some aftereffects. Very much in the same vein as “ice ice baby” and “under pressure.”
I don’t think Gravy is going to win this one. He’d be better off settling and/or giving Astley or a charity of his choice the song royalties.

ALL OF THE “THERAPISTS” AT THESE MORMON RUN UTAH + WASHINGTON CENTERS OWN FINANCIAL STEAKS IN MANY TREATMENT PROGRAMS, WILDERNESS PROGRAMS, AND HALFWAY HOMES
THIS IS MORMON KIDS 4 CASH
FULL FUCKING STOP. They make money off of “enrolling/abducting” kids not only in their program(s), but also commissions off of “enrolling/abducting” them into other related programs. I have met people from so many programs who know the same therapists or have heard the same names while forced into these abusive and beyond questionable “treatment centers/wilderness programs.”
I repeat, these assholes tell parents whatever they want to hear so they can fulfill enrollment capacity for their program so they can enrich themselves. So many of the teens sent to r/troubledteens are broken or left homeless after the endeavor; many of them are lgbt youth sent from out of state homes that hate them.
A considerable portion of people who have been sent to these programs say their relationship with their parents was forever broken and beyond irreparable. Many cut contact permanently. The same is true for summarily abandoned parents who regret ever listening to the therapist-cons into creating this fairyland picture of ”what could be.”
If any reporter wants to do a serious modern expose with some major fucking meat on the bone, I have names for you and can lead you to a really interesting financial trail. This is legitimately Kids 4 Cash Mormon style, even entire townships are in on the grift (some center/wilderness owners/workers also are civic public servants).
Also, this is a back-door method in which conversion therapy is essentially made legal
Also Edit: These programs also lease the teens out to places like the Park Services or even Utah State correctional work programs to build trails breaking granite boulders in the mountains or for other menial labor purposes. They literally lease teen “therapy” prisoners out in work programs even though practically none of them are actual criminals- their parents can just send them there and have them treated this way. There’s no vetting process for entrance, just a full-fill capacity, even overfill capacities in some cases. You meet some of the most abused people in these programs being forced to deal with more because these Mormons only believe in their model familial unit.
There was recently a case where an emancipated teen was sent to one of these programs by his mother as both a means of revenge for exposing her in court and for maintaining control over him. Go to r/troubledteens for more information.
