TimLovesTech (AuDHD)(he/him)

You need to watch the video of him at this non-chain grocery store and how confused/impressed he is at everything. And then the owner starts talking to him about it and Trump zones out completely and almost turns away from the guy he’s so bored and only there for the PR. The guy has never shopped for himself, and is so out of touch with everyday people. He has lived in a bubble of influencers, con men, and fixers for his whole life, and has no idea how anything around him actually works.

And also important is that more people might be inclined to get preemptive care, and physicals/checkups, if it didn’t require they jump through so many hoops (or go bankrupt if Dr. finds/treats something).

I feel like we have a better chance of Trump giving Russia military aid than of seeing Trump making any demands of Putin, let alone “carpet-bombing” their economy. Does this author forget that Putin is the Dad Trump wishes he had, and he would do anything to have Putin feign respect for him.

Agreed. I like where their head is, but when you’re working with people trying to raze the government to the ground instead of actually governing, good luck enforcing anything.

I learned that we can probably use UV lights shined on the skin, and maybe drinking bleach to alleviate symptoms, beautifully! I also learned if you don’t test you don’t have it, which is probably the most important thing to keep from having a pandemic and affecting the economy. Also in a pinch people on Tik Tok with no medical training but a “hunch” are more than qualified to suggest remedies to both cure you and/or prevent it, their advice should absolutely be followed without question.

/s of course =)

Much like the coal and steel factories did when they were told to improve their emissions and dragged their feet (only to find the changes saved them money in the end).

Or Exxon who made a ton of promises they knew they couldn’t keep, and then had the Valdez spill that decimated a whole community and then some.

Exxon Valdez oil spill

Exxon denial -

“We’ve done 350 peer-reviewed studies of Prince William Sound, and those studies conclude that Prince William Sound has recovered, it’s healthy and it’s thriving.”

From 2014 (25yrs later) -

Federal scientists estimate that between 16,000 and 21,000 US gallons (61 to 79 m3) of oil remains on beaches in Prince William Sound and up to 450 miles (725 km) away. Some of the oil does not appear to have biodegraded at all. A USGS scientist who analyses the remaining oil along the coastline states that it remains among rocks and between tide marks. “The oil mixes with seawater and forms an emulsion…Left out, the surface crusts over but the inside still has the consistency of mayonnaise – or mousse.”

You don’t “get” autism like it’s a cold, you are autistic and sometimes you get diagnosed, and sometimes you don’t. We as a society have more educated people in places like schools to help identify kids way more than when Trump was having his dad pay for his dumbass to make it through school. It’s just like his COVID solution of, if you don’t test the numbers go down.

And why does nobody in the media push back on these jackasses to show their work? You make claims about millions of people you better have receipts, but of course these two intellectually-challenged white guys with money just get their every word quoted and published without any push back.

This isn’t the same article (it was one probably linked here at some point) but here is one saying it may have been a veterinary pistol.

Edit victim of autocorrect =(

I don’t have a wealth of gun knowledge, but I read at least one report right after the shooting naming the type of pistol and why suspect chose it (because it had a long barrel that worked as a suppressor without having to attach/buy one). It even stated that because of the obscurity of the pistol it would 1) narrow down the amount of people owning one 2) would likely be someone with a good knowledge of firearms and well thoughout plan.

And if it’s a corporation killing people, their environment, or their way of life, then it’s maybe a small fine already baked into their budget and a promise to “do better”.

As with lots of topics, John Oliver does a great job explaining how something as “simple” as a company merger and moving the headquarters can begin to rot a company from the top down.

John Oliver - Boeing

But not enough to allow Socialism to destroy our country! That’s why we elected a fascist to deal with this issue, Trump has the “concepts of a plan”!

Cool, let’s make NASA even more about capitalism instead of science, what could go wrong? And surely we won’t see NASA funding funneled off to SpaceX through shady contracts either. Ugh.

Why do the work for a for profit corp instead of just making a Mastodon server? I also wish we had a different term for these for-profit leeches that want to vacuum up free fediverse content for profit. I may be in the minority, but they are not Fediverse in my eyes. And we should not be working on ways to incorporate them, but on ways to block them off completely, and quarantine them to their own little islands in cyberspace.

An Australian Senate committee signed off on the legislation late Tuesday but said social media platforms should find “alternative methods for assuring age” rather than forcing users to submit personal information such as their passports or other digital identification.

Like? You think letting these same companies you see as a threat to kids to come up with their own verification method is a good plan? LOL

Edit - lost words somehow

No block in Roblox either.

His new “lending” crypto scam is close, World Liberty Financial. He just got 30 million from a China-born “entrepreneur” that I’m sure will not be a conflict of interest. This scam apparently uses WFL tokens they are letting people pre-purchase before they even explain how the scam works lol.

This guy loves the taste of the corporate boot on his neck JFC. Who will think of the poor mega corporations! Assholes like this are fueling the rollback of worker rights under the guise of being some worker white knight, meanwhile he spreads propaganda like this:

“This unfairly burdens teams, wastes company resources, blocks jobs for others, and limits humanity’s progress. It has to stop.”

This is what is limiting humanity’s progress? Not the mega corps that can deceive workers, and destroy people’s lives, destroy the environment, and suck the life from everything in the name of profit, and if caught get a wrist slap already built into their margins?

The important part of this is Trump launching his new crypto “lending” platform they can’t explain. It’s surely to be a vessel for bribes to flow into and out of the new administration, and for all his “friends” to try and do all their shady business dealings. Allowing him to keep his new platform/fake-crypto-bank (or even his kids to proxy) while also being able to have it regulated (well apparently deregulated - although it’s already the wild west) seems like a HUGE conflict of interest/liability.
