Insane cope 😂

Replace democrats with Rural White Landowners and you would be right.

He won the popular vote. Step foot outside an urban area and you’ll see that his popular support isn’t just an illusion.

There’s a floor of around 38% of Americans who are going to hold that line to the death. They’ve lost friends, family, and businesses over their stance already and haven’t budged. This has been going on for ten years now. They’re in it til the end.

I have no idea why. But I’m sure trump’s DOJ will be releasing new guidelines shortly that back up what their boss is saying, sans any provable evidence.

Sometimes you gotta get creative.

It’s his hand. You can find other angles of it in the same article. It seems to me that the ms-13 edited onto his digits is meant to be a translation of the symbology of his tattoos:

Marijuana leaf = M

Smiley face = S

Cross = 1

Skull = 3

Is that an accurate representation of what his tattoos mean? I have no idea, I’m not an expert on gang symbology. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. The presence of a gang tattoo is something that could be submitted as evidence in court - which is a right the accused was never afforded.

What I am sure of, is that trump intentionally presented this information in such a vague manner so as to muddy the waters so he can come back later and claim his claims were misrepresented by the “lying, dishonest media” - which is itself dishonest.

It’s an inkblot test. His detractors will take the claim at face value, and his supporters will dig in and claim we’re stupid for not immediately taking his claims as gospel. He doesn’t care if his claims hold up in court. He only cares about the court of public opinion, and right now, he’s defining that conversation.

Yeah turns out speech here isn’t so free when your opinions run counter to what the mods deem politically correct.

Which is the whole point of freedom of speech.

Free speech that the mods agree with that is. I was perma banned for c/Europe for privately objecting when a moderator removed this image I posted in a reply decrying antisemitic conspiracy theories in their forum. The mods left the libelous post up, and deleted my sarcastic, but otherwise civil response.

Maybe my opinion was wrong, but it certainly wasn’t dangerous, hateful, threatening or intentionally misleading, as the original post was. Lemmy has a lot going for it, but let’s not pretend that free speech on this site is anything other than window dressing. The Mods are still judge, jury and executioner inside their fiefdoms.

It just hasn’t become a problem for the majority of users, because we’re a relatively small, ideologically homogeneous community. If the fediverse ever becomes mainstream, you’ll start seeing that freedom of speech disappear as moderators sort out the dissenters, and authoritarians work their way into positions of authority.

Did you make this account just so you could spam this image over and over?

Did writing that make you feel better?

A stroke was too good a death for him.

By giving kids measles? You’ve lost your mind.

America bad. Always. 😡

I’d say I’m probably more optimistic than most, but I don’t know if I’d apply that to the whole population. It’s a disorder that affects your ability to perform in the ways society expects you to, and for a lot of people, that sense of failed duty is a weight that they bear every day.

For me tho, I’ve never really given a fuck what society expects out of me. I live for myself first. If my boss or teachers or parents are pissed because I’m not measuring up to some metric, that’s their problem. I’m in a career now where I don’t need to worry about finding a new job. They’re plentiful. So I just focus on what makes me happy and put in just enough effort to keep my head above water and save a bit for down the line. Work and education have always just been a means to that end. I’d say I’m definitely an outlier in that regard.

I’ve got bad knees, so running (and a lot of other sports) is out, but I live to bike. I commute every day of the year, rain sleet or snow. It’s my favorite part of the day.

The most important part of staying active for me, was finding something that I actually enjoy. It tricks my ADHD into thinking it’s playtime, and not some drudgery that needs to be completed. If it’s like a game, I can focus for 10 hours straight.

I’m not anorexic. Im a healthy 225. I love eating. I just sometimes forget that it’s something I need to do everyday. 😅

I like my smartwatch. I’m extremely ADHD as well as hypoglycemic. I have a lifelong history of not eating, then working/playing/exercising until i get woozy or pass out. I’m a terrible judge of what I actually need to stay functional. Always have been. I’m stubborn and will just try to power through things when I actually can’t.

The watch helps me track my sleep/rem cycles and lets me know when I’ve been neglecting my health. It lets me know when I’m getting stressed and need to take a breather and estimates how many calories I’ve expended on a given day.

The watch and pager functions are nice for reducing screen time when I should be working, but as a health monitor I find it indispensable in keeping me honest with myself.

Same, but there’s no way in hell this type of psycho gave it all away. He stashed a couple million somewhere for a rainy day. That’s how these people think.

Dude was worth between 100-300 million at his peak. I don’t buy for a second that he’s broke. It’s probably all hidden in crypto or cocaine stashed under the floorboards.

Akshually, there’s only one Sol-ar system.
