@SomeBitchIIKnow It might not be the mouse but your wrist angle positioning, which is influenced by your desk and chair height. Consider a mouse pad with a more comfortable wrist support and adjusting your seat height.

Shout out to my homies with carpal tunnel. What kind of computer mouse do you use currently, and do you recommend it? My current strategy of ignoring numbness in my hands isn't working so great.

@SomeBitchIIKnow Did you actually forego the opportunity to write it this way??? "Hoisted by my own retárd, I tells ya." For shame...

I love this place but my dumbest posts get traction and then my comments get filled with retards. Hoisted by my own petard, I tells ya.

@WomanDefiner He'd have gotten away with it, too, if he hadn't made his account username "SOG_PeteRose98"

My thoughts on the Soldier making a bet on the Venezuela Op is that he shouldn't have done it but also people inside the Trump admin shouldn't be insider trading. If his admin officials don't get arrested than neither should this soldier.

@JackPosobiec He'd have gotten away with it, too, if he hadn't made his account username "SOG_PeteRose98"

How is it a leak if the bet was made anonymously? It isn't as clean as that. Plus let's get real this soldier isn't the only one inside trading here, just the only one to be punished for it

@FoolOfD Boomers are 60+ This is aimed at GenX

The Boomers refusing to retire situation has gotten so bad that companies are starting to pay them to fuck off.

@FamedCelebrity If you smelt it, she dealt it. CC @SomeBitchIIKnow for entirely no reason

Science marches on.

@WallStreetApes Canadian government is shooting themselves in the foot allowing this. How is the heritage Canadian population going to drive themselves to the MAID suicide centers if the fuel is 50% water?!?!?!

There’s a new viral trend to test the gas that comes out of our gas station pumps in America They’re doing this because people say our gas quality has dropped in quality and they’re getting lower gas mileage It looks like this same trend is happening in Canada. A Circle K was caught with gas so bad, it was 50% water and damaged 7 vehicles “The mix that we're seeing is about 50% water and then 50% fuel, which is enough that it actually won't combust and spark inside of the engine so that at that point your vehicle is not drivable because you can't actually turn the engine over” ‘Contaminated gas bought from an Edmonton Esso Circle K was 50% water, according Colton William of Kross Mitsubishi’ Another thing that makes gas feel like you’re getting worse gas mileage is regulatory changes allowing lower-energy additives. These contribute to the “feels weaker” feeling for many drivers

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry. The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine. The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true. The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either. The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought. The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to. The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus. He is confident. He has always been confident. The confidence has never been the problem. The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

@samtilston @WeTheBrandon Correct take - you see a lot of pre-hit FPV video but no aftermath video showing the result

“200 Merkava MBTs lost in one small village” is an extraordinary claim If it were true, you would see multiple independent confirmations, named units, visual wreck counts, geolocated imagery, and a visible knock-on effect in Israeli armor deployments Without that, treat it as propaganda or miscounting of “hit

At least 200 Merkava MBTs were lost in a battle for one small village in Southern Lebanon, as well as countless armored vehicles. The Israelis have had years to study the war in Ukraine. Yet, they made all the same mistakes that BOTH the Ukrainians and Russians made at the start of the Ukraine War. WTF is wrong with modern Western armies today?

@SomeBitchIIKnow Wow! Three L likes in two days. Early morning L is best L.

@SomeBitchIIKnow That's not a very nice name to call Detroit

Rat Utopia was a warning, not an instruction manual.

@blackroomsec "At no time, throughout all of recorded history, has there been any society, government, collective, which paid its citizens to do nothing yet reap some sort of reward for it." Every inner city ghetto and rural trailer park would like a word.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. At no time, throughout all of recorded history, has there been any society, government, collective, which paid its citizens to do nothing yet reap some sort of reward for it. And in all cases where wealth was redistributed to such extremes as described here those societies utterly failed. Or, if they survived they became complete totalitarian dictatorships. In every case.

@DolioJ Please suggest your alternative

OH, so socialism, then?

@Zigmanfreud Bought off judge finds for the defendant x 100,000,000. Now what?

There is no perfect solution to the apparent looming AI job collapse, but here’s a FAR better one than “Universal High Income”… Instead of making an already broke government responsible, make the corporations benefiting from AI pay by passing a law specifically allowing people to sue for a specified amount of time if their job was lost in some way due to AI. This would put the burden where it belongs and incentivize companies to slow down the layoffs so that our economy might have a chance to adjust. As a libertarian, I hate this idea, but not nearly as much as fundamentally destroying the foundation of our society and giving government near total control over all of our lives!

This “Universal High Income” idea is SO catastrophically bad that it makes me question EVERYTHING about Elon Musk… This is unworkable, & would cause massive inflation, fundamentally destroying the incentive structure of our society (COVID Panic on steroids). I’d like to believe Elon has fallen for this idiocy because he simply doesn’t understand normal humans and he craves free time.

@ItsJuliansRum That but also sponsored by Lakewood Church and three reverse mortgage companies

MAGA used to feel punk rock. Now it feels like boomer variety hour.

@Kneon Serious question: What's your alternative plan for when every city is Detroit and every rural area a Dust Bowl?

Alright, I don’t like where this is going. We want the whole country on welfare? And beholden to corporate or government owned AI? Hard pass, E.

@SomeBitchIIKnow @boneGPT Elon knows what's coming and addressing it two ways: - Provide economic benefits to the displaced - Provide exit path for the motivated (space colonization) His techno-elite opponents would prefer to exterminate the "excess" population rather than deal with us.

@boneGPT He always was. He’s been on a good trajectory though.

devastating seeing Elon arrive at communism from first principles, horseshoe theory at work

@ItsJuliansRum Alternative take: Elon is way more humanitarian than the other tech elites whose plans are to basically exterminate us. Elon wants UBI and galactic expansion for those inclined not to vegetate on UBI and VR.

Welp I guess they’ve all gone full goytard and we really are on our own out here

@SomeBitchIIKnow "...my door is always open." This is a trap, isn't it?

PS: If you ever do get doxxed and you need help or advice, my door is always open. You CAN and SHOULD use that leverage in your favor. There is a way to win. Mwah. 😘

The one upside of getting doxxed is once they’ve done that, there’s virtually nothing else they can do. Ask me how I know.

@RepDonBacon @OmahaChamber Cheap labor subsidized by the taxpayer so your donors can pocket more cash. Future Democrat voters who will make your district permanently blue, but that's after you've cashed out and left Nebraska a toilet. America Last Republicans really suck

Removing TPS status for Haitians living in the United States would cost 350,000 workers their ability to work at a time when we’re already facing serious workforce shortages. I’ve heard from healthcare providers and business leaders across Nebraska, including @OmahaChamber, who are concerned about the impact this would have on patient care and our economy. I don’t see the goodness of deporting people who are here legally, working, and contributing to our country.
