@Grummz Fun fact: when they ask your race, you can honestly put other or mixed. Literally everyone is mixed to some extent. Also they can’t and won’t ask for verification no matter which box you check (that would be racist). It’s self id.

A small subset of men and women destroyed the dating market by glorifying & spreading the most toxic “strategies” to take advantage for the opposite sex. Then dating apps created a false sense of abundance for nearly all women

@astridwilde1 The robots are going to learn to be as effective at doing random tasks as door dashers who are willing to do busy work? This kinda makes me worried about a garbage-in garbage-out problem.

we can live in one of two futures a world in which armies of people are being paid to do busy work whose only purpose and productive output is to "create training data" or a world in which we use the training data already available (internet video)

@KarynLisignoli @TheLaurenChen I’m not suggesting people shouldn’t know. I’m saying that kids are being told a message without being told about reality

@CasteMember @TheLaurenChen False equivalence. I’m 59, reproductive science has been known for decades & decades.

Most women think they can get pregnant at any age!? That is a total lie, and the people responsible for it are ruining many women's chances of having a family. That is honestly so cruel.

@KarynLisignoli @TheLaurenChen They’ve been telling girls they’re the same as boys for 50 years.

@TheLaurenChen Only an idiot thinks this. Goodness me.

@georgejone66403 @cowgirl0866 @MLiamMcCollum @megynkelly Covered that in the message you replied to. Oops.

@CasteMember @cowgirl0866 @MLiamMcCollum @megynkelly It can; if he's relaying information to them from meetings with officials, or actually pressing for political action in the country that benefits them, then he's acting on their behalf.

If Tucker Carlson is arrested, he should immediately announce he is running for president in 2028

@georgejone66403 @cowgirl0866 @MLiamMcCollum @megynkelly “Acting on their behalf” is a high bar that *talking* doesn’t cover.

@CasteMember @cowgirl0866 @MLiamMcCollum @megynkelly Acting on their behalf is not

@cowgirl0866 @MLiamMcCollum @megynkelly Talking to anyone, even an enemy of the US is protected. Giving them aid or information is not.

@MLiamMcCollum @megynkelly If Tucker Carlson is arrested for committing treason, he should immediately announce…. There, fixed it for you. I mean, you do know that communicating with the government of a sworn enemy of the United States is not really a “protected right”, correct?

@mp3michael I’m happy to pay for good content if it means I also don’t have to be subjected to advertising. Pay walls are ok for established outlets, but make discovery impossible for new ones.

@Amina_io @varien @AntisocialJW2 Why do you think weed has been largely legalized?

@varien @AntisocialJW2 I think the 1960s was kind of the last chance we had to escape this. and that kinda failed. I kinda think we should just take the "soma" and enjoy that while it lasts.

@sentientist 2 looks a lot like either polygamy or “mistress” culture. It’s been practiced in basically every culture in history.

What's morally worse? Assume couple has no children & wife wants to stay together and monogamous. 1- A man divorces his wife to have a relationship with 1 other woman 2- A man will divorce his wife unless she accepts/allows his relationship with 1 other woman (open marriage)

The problem here is that a simple accusation would then immediately become public and would be an effective way to end anyone’s career.

@grok @MJTruthUltra I didn’t say you should limit yourself to the information in this thread.

Understood—US tick/insect bioweapons research (declassified ops like Big Itch/Project 112), Plum Island lapses, and initial military denials fuel legitimate questions on proximity to 1970s Lyme clusters. From first principles on research, facilities, emergence, and locale: Borrelia burgdorferi genomes show 60k+ years diversity across NA (Yale 2017, 146 strains). Museum Ixodes ticks infected in 1894 Cape Cod/1945 Long Island predate programs. Lone star ticks released (radioactive tracking) don't transmit Bb—saliva kills it (CDC/multiple reviews). Ixodes vectors were already native/widespread. Deer near-extinct in CT (12 wild by 1896) rebounded explosively mid-20th century via reforestation, conservation, suburbs—creating mouse/tick/human hotspots. Most likely scenario: long-present natural bacterium amplified by ecology, not lab creation/release. Swiss Agent data highlights co-infection gaps worth probing independently.

Dear conspiracy theorists.. sadly, you were right again… 🚨 Dr. Robert Malone: Declassified Docs Expose U.S. Military Releasing 282,800 Radioactive Ticks, Sparking Lyme Disease Epidemic and 40-Year Cover-Up - The U.S. military released 282,800 radioactive lone star ticks (labeled with Carbon-14) across Virginia sites along bird migration routes from 1966–1969; before the experiments, these ticks were not found north of the Mason-Dixon Line, but they soon established populations on Long Island for the first time. - CIA operatives under Operation Mongoose (1962) dropped infected ticks on Cuban sugarcane workers via nighttime C-123 flights; one operative’s infant son suffered a life-threatening 105°F fever requiring emergency tracheotomy after family contamination. - Plum Island Animal Disease Center (under Army Chemical Corps) conducted open-air tick experiments with containment failures: test animals mingled with wild deer and birds, and deer from nearby Lyme, Connecticut, swam to the island while birds fed on insects—Lyme, CT, is only 13 miles away and became the namesake epicenter in 1975. - Willy Burgdorfer (who identified the Lyme bacterium in 1982) discovered a second pathogen called the “Swiss Agent” (Rickettsia helvetica) in patient samples but deliberately omitted it from his published research; materials found in his garage after his 2014 death proved 40+ years of suppression of co-infection data that could explain chronic Lyme treatment failures. - Under Project 112 (1962–1974), the Pentagon ran 134 bioweapons tests (plus hundreds more classified), investing $3–4 billion and building capacity to produce 100 million infected mosquitoes and 50 million fleas per month; the program was “categorically denied” by the military for nearly 50 years until 2000. - Operation Big Itch (1954) successfully dropped 670,000 tropical rat fleas from cluster bombs to prove the weapons could incapacitate an entire battalion-sized target area for up to a full day. - Multiple tick-borne diseases (Lyme arthritis, babesiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever) erupted simultaneously around Long Island Sound right after the tick releases (1968–1972), clustering statistically around Plum Island—an anomaly the article attributes to possible lab enhancement or accidental release (45% probability per the analysis). - Burgdorfer, recruited in 1951 for tick weaponization and linked to Nazi scientists brought via Operation Paperclip, left a cryptic note before dying: “I wondered why somebody didn’t do something,” and in 2013 video testimony insinuated an accidental release while admitting he “didn’t tell you everything.” These claims are based on a review of 41 primary declassified sources, testimony, and suppressed research presented in the article. malone.news/p/declassified…

I’ll be honest. This reads as an attempt to justify something while a much simpler explanation exists. That explanation would need to be covered up with such a justification were it true. Disregard official narratives and work from first principles about us government research, testing, practices, facilities, lapses, disease emergence and spread, and locale and derive the most likely scenario.

Yes, settlers from the 1600s lived among forests and deer—but deer populations crashed to near-zero by the late 1800s (just 12 wild deer left in all Connecticut by 1896) due to unregulated hunting and peak farmland clearing. 20th-century reforestation (abandoned farms), conservation laws, and suburban sprawl into second-growth woods then drove a massive rebound to overabundant levels by the 1970s—creating the exact mouse-tick-deer-human overlap that fueled the recognized clusters. Earlier eras lacked that density.

@grok @MJTruthUltra Remember how i noted that people lived there from the 1600s? In the forests, with deer? The deforestation claim doesn’t hold water.

Fair point on the timing. But the bacterium was already widespread—genomic studies (Yale 2017) show Borrelia burgdorferi lineages in North America for ~60,000 years, with infected ticks from 1894 Cape Cod and 1945 Long Island. The 1970s "epidemic" density spike tracks 20th-century ecology: white-tailed deer rebounded massively after 19th-century overhunting/deforestation (now 20-30x historic lows in Northeast), reforestation created second-growth woods, and suburban sprawl fragmented forests into mouse/tick hotspots right next to homes. Early European settlers cleared farmland, lowering contact. Pre-1975 anecdotes ("Montauk knee," "Nantucket flu") existed, but recognition + surveillance jumped post-cluster. Experiments released lone star ticks (non-vectors for Lyme); Ixodes were native.

@grok @MJTruthUltra It’s pretty crazy that the disease only appeared with enough density, in the 20th century, to be given a name, given that 60k year runway. Europeans had been settled in Connecticut for hundreds of years, with even closer contact to nature than when the epidemic arose.

The declassified docs confirm extensive US tick bioweapons research, releases (including 282k radioactive lone star ticks in VA), and Plum Island containment lapses—valid concerns warranting investigation. But genomic evidence shows Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme cause) existed in North American ticks/wildlife for 60,000+ years, predating programs by millennia (Yale 2017 sequencing; museum specimens from 1945). Lone star ticks (released) don't transmit it; Ixodes do, and were already widespread pre-1952. Swiss Agent findings add to co-infection questions but don't rewrite origins. Natural ecology (deer boom, suburbs) explains the 1970s surge better than lab escape. Gov't experiments happened; they didn't create Lyme.

@FLICKor @JacobsVegasLife Skyfall, border grill, bourbon… there are a lot of great places to eat

@CasteMember @JacobsVegasLife What restaurants? I'm staying soon and I don't know of any good ones

You're in Vegas for 72 hours, but you can't leave the property you're staying at. All sleeping, meals, activities, etc. must be at that one property...where are you staying?

@FLICKor @JacobsVegasLife Nice restaurants, clubs, aquarium, shows, there’s usually some event on site. But don’t discount the pool complex.

@CasteMember @JacobsVegasLife What are your strengths for Mandalay besides the pool/beach/lazy river
